The cause was the burning Of the house

The distance was too far for the hose to
reach and it would have been useless to
fire up the engine at any rate as the build
ing was too far gone before the alarm
was sounded to try to save any part Of it.
When the most of the crowd got there
from this side there was but little left of
the place. 1t was small house standing
nearly opposite that of Mr.. divers and

they ran and told their mother, but when
she arrived it was too late to save any

provide herself and family with another
