A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin Of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.

Orl9ln OF CURIOUS Iustom ObserNeo
by Bulgarian Builders.
Nine master masons who were en-
gagged in building a citadel in the time
of the Voivoid Neagoe found on re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion Of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en- to pieces during the night and was
lying in heap of ruins in the ditch.
ManOl Of Curtea, the head mason, In
formed his comrades one morning that
a voice from heaven had warned him
In his sleep the night before that their
labors would continue to come to
naught unless they all swore on that
very morning to immure IN the struc-
ture the first woman, be 1t wife, moth
er, daughter or sister, who should ar
rive with the morning meal Of one or
either of them. They all took the OATH
and the last man had hardly been
sworn when Man0ls own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast.
The oath was kept, and the woman,
known In the legend as Flora OF the
Fields" was murdered and her blood
and flesh incorporated with the wall Of
masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masons Ghe above scene Is laid In Bull
garial. which survives to this day, tes-
tifies to the vitality of the legend. To
insure the solidity Of the house they
build they measure with a reed the
shadow Of the first person who passes
after the digging Of the foundation
has been completed When the foun
dation is commenced this reed Is buried
