The girl carelessly took hold of a
coffee pot, which rested over the
flames Of gas range, with her apron.
The garment caught fire and before
the girl realized it she was enveloped
in flames. She ran out Of the kitchen

which kept getting tiercer. At the
top of the stairs she nearly ran into
the arms of Mrs. McCrae, who came
out Of her bed room to see what was

At this luncture Mr.. McCrea caught
the screaming girl and carried her to
a bath room where he deposited her
in the tub. She struggled to free

desire to run away from the fire. The
water was turned on and with the aid
of blankets the blaze was finally eX-
tinguished.
She is badly burned about the left
arm and side and there are big bliSters
on her back Her clothes were burn
