small blaze showing above the floor:
He ran to the house and got some wa-
ter, his mother followed with more
water and neighbors were soon on
hand andthe fire was praetieally out
before the fire brigade appeased. The
firemenehowever, tore up settle of.the
flooring and turned on the hose to
make sure no smoldering embers Se -
mined. The damage to the building
was slight ;but it was a narrow enough
escape for had the blaze got a stars
the 'building, being of frame, would
