to have a kick to it. I talked to Cam. till twelve and then wandered home. This after noon I intended to gather up and burn the rubbish of the lawn that I rake dup yesterday and rthen prune the apple trees but owing to interruptions I didn't get all the rubbish gathered up. Tom. & Mark came by first and I took Mark in to give hom a drink of our cider and then started to talk to Alan Law who had to twll me all about the time he has ri=ocking the baby. Whule I was at that the fire bellcommenvced to ring and Frank and I both hike dover to see where the blaze was. I wen tover to the Woodson's and climbed their windmill but as I couldn't see any of the town missing I came back Frank rode his wheel down and reported that a cedar hedge at oerce. Kindry's had been on fire but that it had been exti=nguished before trhe fire brigade arrived at the spot. On his way home Jack martin called to him to ask him if he could get a horse over here toi take his express down to the 4.30 train so Sid & The Scotchman that was there last fall but who is not doing any thing much now came over to get old Harry. Sid. took him back but the Scotchman stayed here for a long time an d visitied.
