The Colonel got up and built the fire and had gone tuo the barn to do his morning's chores. His daughter was milking the .cows and no one was left in the house when the firt started and it is not known for certain what was the cause of the fire, which had gained such headway when discovered that noth- || ing could be done to save the bui'd- ing or the contents both of which were entirely consumed.
