swsshed water around would have d me al
amazing sight of good. if ii had esa thrown

got their hose working, and the engine be

didn't go far enough by several feet, to oc-
casion the fire to 'scIz.' A uew position had

and allowed the citizens a good chance to
get things out of the burning house, with

began TO play, and this time with splendid

of house, aud if it hadn't broke would have
pushed him clear over on the other side-4-
