On the hill there stands a church and it has a belfry and also a janitor: Now the belfry and the bell needs, fixing but that is another story. This has to do with the janitor and the bell that would not ring; also a_trap- door. Sunday morning was bright, and clear and the clang of the old bell roused many to thoughts of worship. But the bell rang but once and excite. ment ran high. The parson roused himself to solve the mystery and once in the open heard cries for help from the skies. A crowd had gathered. From the belfry came cries for heip also other cries and the janitor was found hanging between heaven and earth. The trap-door had slip- ped when he was half way through and there he was. A good half hour's work was needed before the door was moved, to release the janitor. Never again eays he. If she sticks again she can stay ‘“sticked.” The blame thing needs fixing anyway.
