Northern candidate whose position

END OF n UNIVERSE.
How 1t VIII Come According to the
NOrseland Myth.

49, $50
NOrseIand Myth.
One Of the most striking of the Morse
land myths is that In which is pictured
the eud of the universe, when all the
gods of Asgard and Nifieheim and the
Inhabitants of Jotunhelm and Midgard,
together with their habitations, would
be destroyed. That this catastrophe
would come to all the visible creation
they firmly believed, for their %untaught
minds could not conceive Of immor-
tally.
And this is how they pictured the
fearful time: Three winters would
come upon the earth, one after another,
without the tempering influence Of a
single summer. Snow would fall from
every quarter of the heavens, wild
storms would sweep over the earth,
with tempestuous winds that nothing
could withstand, and the sun would
lose its heat.
Three other winters would succeed
the first three, during which red Wis
aged war would stalk over the uni
verse, leaving blood and death In it's
ruthless track. Then the earth would
begin to tremble In uncomfortable fear,
the sea would rush from Its bed, the
heavens would be rent, and the eagles
OF the air would feast upon the still
Quivering flesh Of multitudes Of men
slain without warning.
Fenris, the wolf monster, would
throw off his bonds; the Mldgard SER
pent, whose gigantic form encircled the
world, would rise from Its lair, and
Loki, the evil genius of the universe,
would desert the gods and go back
among their enemies. Surtur would
lead his followers to the Bifrost bridge,
~devouring flames before and behind
them. and, having destroyed it in
their passage, they would join Loki
and the frost giants On the battlefield
OF Vigrid, where Fenris, the Midgard
serpent and the hosts Of Hela had al
ready assembled.
Meanwhile Heimdall, the Waterman
Of Asgard, the abode of the gods, would
sound the alarm with the Giallar horn,
summoning the celestial cohorts to the
field. Odin, clad In all the splendor
Of his supreme Office, would lead forth
the gods in martial array. Fenris,
pressing forward, would throw him
self upon Odin with a ~f1erceness that
the deity could not withstand, and the
All Father would fall. pierced with a
thousand wounds from the monsters
fangs.
Then vidar, the SON of Odin, would
fall like a thunderbolt upon the blood
reeking wolf and avenge his celestial
fathers death. Thor, the all powerful,
would slay. with his great hammer,
the Midgard serpent. but even as the
monster gave up its life Its venomous
breath would wreak vengeance upon
the slayer, and Thor would sink down,
suffocated to death.
Meanwhile Loki and Heimdall have
been seeking each other, and, having
met, they would fight with the fury of
demons until both were slain. Thus
all re- the bloody field gods and
giants, good spirits and evil, would
meet and Stay each other, and when
the dreadful carnage was ended Sur
tur would send his fiery flames abroad,
and the universe would be burned.
The sun would lose ih light, the
earth would disappear. the stars would
fall from heaven, and time would be
no more!

The Secret Murder of the III Fated

h Secret Murder of the III Fated
Duchess of W~urttemberg.
About the anne period at which
Queen Caroline was earning notoriety
for herself there resided in a small
town IN the north of Germany a man
noted for his skill as a public execu-
toner. Late one evening two men in
military uniform called upon this per.
son and requested him to accompany
them, as his services were required at
some distance and would be literally
rewarded, but that he must consent to
be blindfolded. To this, after some de-
muir, he consented and entered the car.
riage brought by the two officers. Ap-
parently they drove a long distance,
and at last by the sound he judged that
they had crossed a bridge and entered
a paved courtyard.
The carriage having stopped, he was
assisted to alight and conducted along
corridors and upstairs till at last, the
bandage being removed, he found him
self In a large, gloomy room, In the
center of which stood a block with a
heavy sword laid on II. A door at the
far end Of the room opened, and a tall
and very handsome woman entered,
led by two men and gagged. She was
forced to the block and the e%xecutioner
ordered to do his office. With some
hesitation he obeyed. Instantly he was
again blindfolded, hurried downstairs,
placed in the carriage and driven off at
full speed. To all his inquiries and re-
monstrances his escort remained obsti-
nately deaf, but on reaching his home
q very large sum Of money was given
him, with a warning that he would do
well never to attempt to solve the
mystery or tell Of that nights work.
Shortly afterward he heard that the
Duchess Of Wurttemberg, sister Of
Queen Caroline, had died suddenly on
that very night She was a woman Of
great beauty and known to be an OBJ
jet Of great jealousy and suspicion to
her husband, who was said to keep her
In enforced s~eclusion, and, from inqui-
ries he made, the executioner felt no
doubt that this iii fated daughter Of
the house Of Brunswick had been the

cretly done to death by his hand
