Salmon Saved Queen.

The salmon with ring in it's mouth,
efiat figures in the arms of the city OF
Glasgow, Scotland, which are also
those Of the ancient see, is said to
record miracle of st. Kentigern, the
founder of the see, and the fourth
bishop of Glasgow. A certain queen
gave a soldier, with whom she had
fallen in love, ring that had been
presented to her by her consort; but
the king discovered the intrigue, and,
having obtained the ring, threw 1t into
the Clyde, and then demanded it of
his disloyal lady.
In her alarm she sought help from
st. Kentigern, and he, proceeding to
the river forthwith caught salmon,
which, on being opened, was found to
have swallowed the all-important
Jewel. The queen regained the good
graces of the king, and lived better
life afterward.
