J] ACK SAVAGE was official bell-ringor at an Irish cathedral, He loved the enormous bell that he used to toll so rhythmically. One Sunday morning he went to the cathedral belfry to ting for the early service, He tugged at the rope, No sound from the bell overhead answered his summons. He climbed tho fifty-foot ladder to the bell loft. This was a tiny cubbyhole, partly open to the sky, and floored only by a few crazily- fragile laths. Tho boll'’s rim was within two feet of this flimsy floor, Jack crawled out on the cracking laths, then lay down and wriggled under the brazen rim, and up into tho interior of the mighty bell itself. There he quickly found why no sound had followed his efforts at ringing. Some one had strapped a piece of cloth around the bell-clapper, muffling !t. So tightly was this muffler fastened to the clapper that it took several minutes for Jack to cut it free. Meantime a friend of his happened to pass the cathedral.
