Big Bird Gives Bloomfield, N. J., Com
bined Fire and Ghost Scare.
The bell lu the tower of the little
Methodist church nt Bloomfield, N. J.,
used as a tire tocsin, boomed alarm
after alarm across the quiet cowitry
early on a recent morning. Scores of
residents turned out, many of the men
with buckets and axes, to help the local
department face the dreaded (ires. But
no red glares showed in the sky, and
they found the church locked, just as
Sexton Harry Van Ness left it Sunday
night.
"A ghost, by heck!" whispered Van
Ness. "So llvin' man's tollin' that
bell!"
He refused t > enter the tower. The
bell kept on tolling more tire alarms.
There Was a call for volunteers. Brave
Giles Van Riper stepped from the ranks
find unlocked the door.
"Who's ringin' that bell?" demanded
Van Riper. "Declar* yourself before I
come after you!"
"Who-oo-oo!" came the mocking an
swer, In a tone like a shen in a fog.
Backed up by a score. Van Riper
climbed aloft. Ding dong, ding dong,
continued the bell. Then there was a
flash of white into Van Rlper'g face,
and something cut across his flesh like
the bony fingers of a skeleton. He and
the valiant twenty piled down the steps
in a panic.
Outside they waited until dawn, when
the spirit should go back to its hiding
place. Just as the sun rose the last
peal sounded. Cautiously they reas
ceuded the steps, and there? dead as a
morgue full of doornails? they found
u great white owl. One of its talous
had caught fast In the bell rope when
It flew Into the tower after a pigeon.
The owl's struggles to escape caused
the bell to ring. It died of exhaustion.

Gradually the sloop drifted out to

In vain to passing craft Finally Miss
Hewitt's red skirt caught the eye of
the yacht Helvetia, which rescued the I
party aud landed them soaking wet
and still In a panic at Bay Twenty
