fire righters from Parkhill, Lucan, and

fire in Brodie's barn, and a g:ent:'rial
dam, brought out the' bucket brigades
and the old-fashioned fire fighting ap-
par tus. It was soon seen that this
was. opt ,sufficient, and, help was call-
ed from neighboring places. Miss

stuck to her post almost until ,the
building collapsed.
