reaching the parlor door he was driven
hack bv smoke and flames His first
thought was of wife and little children.
Quickly he aroused his wife and when
the children were reached the flames
had GAINED such Roadway as to pre-
vent their going out through the door,
and window had to be broken ana
the little ones handed out to safety.

and was fortunate i'm being able to put
beyond the reach of the flames a large
