that Of placing an immense log of wood

which had been carefully preserved for
the purpose. A poet sings of it in this

theh became apparent. Within

ground; two lines of hose were laid
from adjacent hydrants, and two
powerful streams of water We're
pouring upon the barn. Within fif-
teen minutes more tie flames were
subsiding, and very soon the last
spark of fire was eXtengushed.
How the fire started is mystery
Half an hour before its discovery
MI James was in the lower part of
the barn and everything there np-
peared all right. 1t is only known
positively that the fire began in the
hay loft, only the upper part of the
structure being at all burned. There
was not IA large quantity of hay, and
that was too dry and too lately
put IN to make II stheory of spon-
taneous combustion seem reason
able. lncendiarism is not generally
suspicioned. A small spark acct
dentaIly dropped in the hay or a
match left there ignited by friction
Is more probable. The damage,
