In the next room was his big brother August, and in‘another his father and mother, Mr. and. Mrs. Sylvester Moore. David was most careful not to awaken other members of the house- hold. He crawled through the rooms between him and the parlor, where the Christmas tree was laden.with presents, on his hands and knees, and burst in, thinking he would catch Santa Claus busy at his work. “ Then it was that David discovered the tree blazing, The flames had devoured all the presents, and were shooting through the open win- dow.
