II grieve for ye, homeless men! :"
cried he to the men of the Rhine. He
saw that Hagen had lost his shield
and said: Take mine, Hagen. Might:
est thou but win back with it to Bur-
gundy"
God reward thee, noble Rudeger :"
answered Hagen. Then Rudeger rushed
at them He struck GernUt-a fatal
blow, but before the Rhine's prince
dropped he struck truly with the sharp
sword that Rudeger had given him,
so that the loyal knight of Bechlaren
died from his own loving gift.
They made sorry terms with each
other. The knights of the Rhine were
few when the fighting was done; but
of the knights of Rudeger there was
not one left.
Palaces and towers rang with the
woe of the Huns. The brave Amelung
knights Of Prince Dietrich of Berne
ran to the place, and, weeping, begged
for Rudegers body.
"Come and take him." answered
Folker, waving his terrible red fiddle
bow. $50 shall We serve Rudeger
truly"
Hildebrand of Berne hit Folker so
that shield and helm flew in spinters.
That was the end of the bold fiddler.
Hagen's brother, Dankward, fell
slain. Wolfhart of Berne and young
Giselher killed each other. They gave
each other a grim death.
There were none left save Prince
Dietrich of Berne and his man Hide
brand on one side, and Gunther the
king and his vassal Hagen on the
other.
These two were sOrely spent. Die
trich graPpled them and bound them.
So he bore them to Kriemhild.
Most high queen" said the prince
of Berne, grieving, "there were never
nobler captives than these. Let the
homeless knights live for my sake"
She sent them to separate dungeons.
Then she went in to Hagen and said,
high and furious: 'Tell me where the
Nibelung hoard is, and We may both
win back alive to Burgundy"
Grim Hagen answered: II have
sworn that none shall have it while
my master Gunther lives"
Kriemheld went in to her brother
and smote of his head. Bearing II
by the hair, she showed it to the knight
Of Irony.
snow the secret is safe" cried Ha-
gen. "NOne knoweth of the treasure
now save God and 1. Thou shalt never
see it, devil that thou art"
Kriemhild drew Balmung, Siegfried's
sword, from the sheath at fettered Ha-
gems side. She lifted it with both
hands and took off his head.
Il care not what comes of it." cried
old Hildebrand, Dietrich's man. He
swung his blade and slew her.
Thus it befell because of the high
pride of two loving women. The end
Of the hightide was woe. So at the
last all joy turns to sorrow. This is
the fall of the Nibelungs.

'"The Bryan followers are the

The speaker said that McGoidrick
alone had been responsible for the
presentation OF the bills In this city
and that Il was his understanding
that the introduction had followed the
assurance OF Dock Commissioner
smith that all Of the legislation was
required.
The revelation Of the Speaker for
the first time gave TO Albany the real
facts regarding this deal. Speakers
said that Col. Abbott had brought the

who introduced the bill In the Senate
through Senator Sweet. said that Nc
Goldrlck had made an effort to get in
communication with Senator Mills at
the Koenig dinner In New York by
telephone and that he had failed to
get the Senator. Then the measure
went to Senator Sage.
The net result of the revelation ls
that II Is now shown that the Walker
bill was not, as has been uniformnlly
and persistently asserted, presented
by tho War Department, that the War
Departments representatives told the
Legislators that a bill OF far less
scope would suffice for the purposes
OF the Government, ana that IN the
face OF this fact the wide and sweep
ing authorization for the sinking fund
to sell city lands under water was
launched as "A running mate to the
