ghostliness of the night, and the tapestries and pic- tures on the walls glowed in the cheerful light which streamed in through the narrow windows. »I will show you,» said the old guide, » if you please, before inspecting the portraits, the chambers in which John III and Eric XIV were confined as prisoners. » Before describing these apartments it will be bet- ter, perhaps, to refresh your memory with a brief reference to history. The great Gustavus Vasa left behind him, at is death, four sons —... Eric, the eldest, by his first wife, Katherine of Saxe Lauenburg, John, Magnus, and Carl. Eric would, of course, at his death, mount the throne as his natural successor. Now, this same Eric was a mauvais garQon. He wanted all the pie, and, if he failed to get it, howled like a North American Indian. When the good Gu- stavus saw the world fading from before his vision, he was made wretched by the reflection that the erratic and fiery tempered Eric, as king, would be sure to tyrannize over his brothers, and that insur- rection and civil war, as a certain consequence, would disturb and desolate the realm.
