gndle and fasten about the dragon. You have nothing to fear, for the beast cannot nam you now."
By GEORGENE FAOlKNER.
LONG, long ago, In tie country of
Libya, there was a town called
Sllene. Not far from this town
there was a great marsh, or Blimy
pool, in which there' lived a dreadful
dragon. This dragon was a most horrible
monster and no one could destroy him.
His scaly skin was so strong that no sword
or spear could pierce it, his eyes glowed like
coals of fire and when he opened his Jaws
he sent out a cloud of fire and smoke which
was deadly poison. Great armies had been
sent out against this mighty monster, but
each time they were driven back by his
death-dealing breath, until at last the
people all hid behind the high walls of the
city and no one dared to go out and fight
the deadly dragon. &o the ugly monster
came to the walls of the city and the peo
ple saw that they all would die if they did
not satisfy the hunger of the dragon, and so
they were forced to give him each day two
sheep.
At last there were no sheep left and
the people took counsel together and decided
? that the only way to appease the rage of
the dragon was to give him each day a
child under 15 years of age. No one in the
city was spared.
One day the beautiful young princess
was drawn by lot, and the poor king was
horror-struck. "I will give up my gold and
half my realm," he cried, "if my dear
daughter can be saved from this frightful
death !"
But they agreed to give -him only
eight days in which tomourn the fate of
his dear daughter. When the eight days
had passed the people returned to the pal
ace and said : 'The time has come. You
can no longer sacrifice your subjects to save
your daughter. We are all dying before
the poisonous breath of this mighty mon
ster." Then the king knew that he could' no
longer delay, so he had his daughter
dressed all in royal robes of state and then
he drew her to him and kissed her many
times.
The beautiful princess stood erect
and bravely answered: "Fare thee well,
dear father. You must not weep longer
for me. It is right that I should give my
life for my people."
Now, these people of Libya were
heathen, but not far, away in Cappadocia
there lived a young warrior named George.
His parents werc Christians and his
mother bad early trained and instructed
her son in the true religion, so that when
he wag quite young he was constantly
triTlng' to do food and to serve others.
In a vision one night he heard a voice
commanding him to travel to Libya, and so
with all good speed he rode his horse
toward the City of Silene. Just outside the
city George met the beautiful princess, who
was again overcome with sorrpw and was
weeping bitterly. He dismounted from his
horse and went to the maiden and said:
"What is the cause of thy grief V"
Then she told the brave knight the whole
story of the dreadful dragon.
When the knight heard her story he
said: "Do not fear. In the name of Jesus
Christ, I will save you."
And the maiden answered: "Brave
knight, 1 know not that name, but I do
know that you cannot deliver me from this
monster. 1 die to save my people, and you
should not needlessly seek death with me."
As she said this the mighty monster
arose above the surface of the water.
Beating the air with its great wings and
giving a terrible roar it rushed toward
them. The maiden cried out in agony":
"Fly; sir knight! Fly! or you will, lose
f your life with mine. Fly! Fly 1"
But George went boldly toward the
monster and, praying to God to help him.
he made the ign of the cross and raised
his spear and hurled It with such force
that he pinned the dragon to the earth.
Then turning to the trembling princess be
said: "Good maiden, undo jour girdle and
fasten It about the dragon. You have noth
ing t- fear, for the beast cannot harm you
now."
Then the princess did as the knight
commanded, and the dragon crawled upon
the ground, following her like a dog, while
the knight walked by her side, leading bis
horse, and so tliey all went into the city.
Suddenly the king heard shouts of re
joicing, and when he came out he saw his
beloved daughter safe and sound, and fol
lowing her, led by her girdle, was the
mighty monster, while by her side walked
the brave knight.
And George stood before him and said:
"Do not praise me. but give thanks unto
the Lord, who sent me here in your time
of need and gave me the strength to over
come this terrible beast. If you will be
lieve in Christ and live In obedience In His
teachings you may u 11 be saved."
Then George took his sword and cut
off the bead of the dragon, and all the peo
ple shouted and hailed him as their de
liverer. And George stayed with the king an4
the princess and be taught them and all
their people the new faith, so that all be
ttered in the LorJ Jesus Christ and were
baptized.
