। was not the case in this instance. The people had certainly strugg-led with the black rats, but they had not been able to do them any harm worth mentioning. Those who had conquered them were an animal folk of their own kind, called gray rats.
These gray rats had not lived in the land from time immemori-al, like the black rats, but were descended from a couple of poor immigrants who had landed in Malmö from a Libyan sloop a hundred years ago. They were homeless, starved-out wretches that struck close to the harbour, swam in among the piles under the bridges and ate refuse that had been thrown in the water. They never ventured into the city, which was owned by the black rats.
But gradually, as the grey rats i inereased in number, they grew bölder. At first they moved over to some waste places and con-demned old houses which the

the black rats out of Malnö. They took from the attics, cellars, and storerooms, starved them out or bit them to death, for they were not at all afraid of fight-ing.
When Malmö was captured, they marched forward in small and large Companies to conquer the whole country. It is almost impossible to comprehend why the black rats did not muster themselves into a great, united war-expedition to exterminate the g.ay rats, while these were i still few in number.

The big stone house has such thick ceilings and walls that there is scarcely room in its interiör for anything but the thick walls. The stairs are narrow, the en-trances small, and the rooms few. That the walls might retain their strength there are only the fewest number of Windows in the upper stories, and none at all are to be found in the lower ones. In the old war times, the people were just as glad that they could shut themselves up in a strong and massive house like this as one is nowadays to be able to ereep into furs in a snapping Cold win-ter, But when the time of peace

The visi tors were: Mrs. Grind-
Glimminge Castle, and moved into dwelling places where light and air can penetrate.
At the time when Nils Holge.-son wandered around with the wild geese, there were no human beings in Glimminge Castle, but for all that, it was not without inhabitants. Every summer there lived a stork couple in a large nest on the roof. In a nest in the attic lived a pair of gray owls, in the seeret passages hung bats; in the kitchen oven lived an old cat; and down in the cellar there were hundreds of old black rats.

er that they could not believe it possible for them to lose it. They sat still on their estates, and, in the meantime, the gray rats took from them farm after farm, city after city. They were starved out. forced out, rooted out. In Skåne they had not been able to main-tain themselves in a single place except at Glimminge Castle,
The old castle had such secure walls and such few rat passages led through these that the black rats had managed to protect them selves, and to prevent the gray rats from crowding in. Night after night, year after year, the struggle had continued between~ the aggressors and the defenders, but the black rats had kept faith-ful watch, and had fought with the utmost contempt for death, and, thanks to the fine old house, they had always conquered.
It will have to be acknowledged that so long as the black rats were in power they were as much shunned by all other living erea-tures as the gray rats are in our day — and for just cause. they j had thrown themselves upon poor, fettered prisoners, and tor-tured ‘them, they had ravished the dead; they had stolen the last turnip from the cellars of the poor; bitten off the feet of sleeping geese; stolen eggs and chicks from the hens; and had committed a thousand depradati-ons. But since they had come to grief, all this seemed to have been forgotten; and no one could help but marvel at the last of a race that had held out so long against its enemies.

mies, and great endurance under the terrible misfortunes which had befallen their kind. They nomi-nally belonged to a rat folk that at one time had been very nu-merous and powerful but were now dying out. During a long period of time, the black rats owned Skåne and the whole country. They were to be found in every cellar; in every attic. in larders and cowhouses and barns, in breweries and flour-mills, in jhurches and castles; in every man-constructed building. But now they were banished from all this and were almost ertinet. Only in one and another old and seeluded spot could one run a-
of black rats to occupy Glim-minge Castle in peace, since they themselves had acquired all the rest of the country, but you may be sure this thought never oc-curred to them. They were wont to say that it was a point of ho-nour with them to conquer tbe black rats at some time or other. But those who were aquainted
with the gray rats
must have
known that it was because the human kind used Glimminge Castle as a storehouse for grain that the gray ones could not rest until they had gained possession of the place.
