to him one isolated fact filled the world
that she was smiling up at him with

A red glow crept into her face. She

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES,
How the Danger of Par1or Confiagra.
tions May Be Minimized.


Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact appar-
ent only. on that day, that the Christ
mas tree is quite as dangerous as it is
pretty, and that the proud father per-
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution to equip himself with ashes
tos whiskers About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as n result of the inflammable ma
ture of the Christmas tree and its dec
oratons and their careless handling
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis-
tolls is raised after the Fourth of July.
OF course no rose is free from thorns,
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served in the conventional fashion with
out risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Suffering candles on Christmas tree
are very real danger, and the same may
be said of the trees themselves, the
wreaths of evergreen and the mistletoe.
After day or two they become dry and
inflammable to a high degree and in the
joy of the celebration risks are run and
precautions neglected. A tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become i'll an instant torch capa-
bic of starting Il disastrous fire, rs many
cities discovered the other day. to their
great cost and to the serious discomfort
of their fire departments.
BY taking preventive measures thou
sands of dollars will be saved every year.
Trees should be bought late and kept
out doors until used. In the case Of
fresh. green trees the risk will be min
imzed. Candles should not be too close
together and should be constantly watch
ed. Above all, a wet blanket should
be at hand, also sponge on pole long
enough to reach any point of the trees
or ceiling. SO. at least. say the fire
fighters, who every year have their own
Christmas spoiled by the neglect of these
very obvious precautions.

man standing on the steps felt strange

returned the pretty salute. He passed
