ed unit on the electric range had ig-
nited and the flames had spread to
the window shade and window casing.
When discovered, the fire had gained
quite a little Roadway and had de-
stroyed everything near the window.
The entire house was filled with black
smoke and only the. fact that
all of the doors and windows except
the kitchen window were closed saved
the house from probable destruction.
The three California lads, who were
first to answer the alarm call, took
hold of the situation like veterans and
while James played the hose through
the window the two younger boys
helped to carry pals of water from
the bathroom to put out the flames,
which were practically extinguished by
the time other help had arrived.
