Freewheel And A Cord

A Candidate for initiation was to be picked up and driven to the Lodge, but before this could happen the car broke down.

The Candidate said as no great distance was involved he would go on his bicycle.

Just when he reached the top of the hill his chain broke.

As the Lodge was at the bottom of the other side and all he needed was a back-pedal brake, so he repaired the chain with a cord he had in his pocket and free-wheeled downhill to the Lodge.

Later that evening in reply to a toast in his honour, he said how proud he was to be a Freemason but could not understand, as he had told no one, how the WM knew that he had come on his own free wheel and a cord.
