with the smoke and five minutes more
would have suffocated him. MIR.
Garfield smothered the flames on The
dresser with heavy quilts taken from
the bed, and put out the mating and
woodwork fire with pals OF water.

the woodwork badly scorched. Some

dresser we're spoiled by the blaze,

very lucky in its way because of the
baby's safety. Mr.. Garfield handled
the fire alone, so no alarm was rung.
