Horrified, she sped as rapidly as possible to the burning cabin. She saw he rlittle boy running about tho building screaming. "Sister . Is la there," he shrieked. With a scream of despair, Mrs. Jar rett tried to enter the building by the front door but a sheet. of flame shot out burning her face and scorching the hair from her head.

Once again the flames repulsed her and she fell unconscious.' v .Then aid came, Charles Ballinger and Hobart Durbln were the first to reach the -scene. Then the crew of a passing C.
