HISTORY OF CURIOUS Legend
Believed to Mark Spot Where
Dragon Was Slain.

Dundee, Scotland.-A sculptured
stone locally called tho MARITIME, or
Dragons Stane, is supposed to mark
the spot where in ancient days a fierce
fight took place between young man
named Martin and dragon, the lat
ter being killed in the struggle, says
a writer in the Strand. The scene Of
the encounter is located about six
miles north Of Dundee, near to the
base Of the Sidlaw Hill, and in the
parish of Mains and Strathmartine.
The legend is most interesting, and il
as follows: A farmer in the district,
who was blessed with nine lovely
daughters, one day sent one of them to
a neighboring well to fetch him a
draught Of water. As she did not re-
turn, another was sent to learn the
cause Of the delay. Neither Of them
returning, daughter after daughter
was sent, until the whole nine had
been dispatched. The father, becom-
ing alarmed at the non-return Of his
daughters, then set of himself to learn
the cause of their delay. On arriving
at. the spot, he was Mortified at the
spectacle which met his gaze. His
nine daughters lay dead at the we'll
and a large dragon was throwing its
shiny folds around them. The reptile,
on seeing the father, Kissed loudly,
and would have made short work Of
him also, had he not saved himself by
flight He, however, aroused the whole
netghborhood, and the people turned
out in state Of great fright. "A
young man, the sweetheart Of one Of
the dead girls, boldly attacked the
dragon, which took to flight, hotly
pursued by the gallant youth. ! The
dragon .wriggled It's way. toward the
hills, and was ultimately overtaken BY
the youth in q field near the Sidlaws,
where he killed it outright. It IL said
that during the pursuit Martin was
followed by q crowd Of people. who IN
their excitement shouted simu1tane.
