Our fencin' an' grass were ashes, an' all ' around was black, An' what with etaoke an' my losses, my head with pain did rack ; 1 never*!! forget her look an' words " God help Ben— we'll nev^r ace him more, • He'll be comm' home now, an be more'n half-way from the &tore ! " My headache left in a flash, an' I thought o' that poor boy A'comin* home with his packages, an' allers full o' joy. "God grant he'll not be caught," I - prayed, then Btarted down the road. I battled through the smoke, the sparks upon me came, I onward sped with all my might, an cared not for the flame. /The. trees they crashed all round me, , ,-but I heard not the sound, For I hunted for my darling boy, an' prayed that he I found. Jußt nearin' Grady'a corner, where that rata leaned aorosß the track, There came a crash, a shower o' sparks, an' they nearly drove me back; The tree had fallen 'cross the road an' my passage onward stayed ! I fell upon the roadway, an' for that boy in silence lone I prayed. I'd bin' there for a moment when I heard a childish ory, 'Twas " Dad, come to me," an 1 my legs at once did fly. I crossed those fallen limbs, an' through ■ umoke porridge thick, An' though my feet moved -fast, my heart went twice as quick. I saw the old mar» first— she was lyin' on her aide ; She*d fell upon a rimu limb an' there old Lucy'd died. A yard or so behind her a little bundle - lay of aJieap-* My boy— my Ben— my pride! I picked him up. He seemed asleep. " Not dead I" I cried. " Lord, spare me my little treasure, Ben." „ Hia little hands and toeo 1 were saorohedi | bis leg had come agen A stump when the old mare fell. With Ben for home I went. i I pushed on best as I. could, for I felt I Heaven had me sent To save my,boyj an' now I had him! felt "right- bound Toget him out o'"tbe reach o' more fire, j ; an' Boon a place I found. I put him down an' looked at his leg. Not broke, but badly out, An' I shouldered him this time, an' pul on a spurt to our hut. Jane met me at the door, tears goin' down her cheeks like wild, An' she took Ben , from me an' sez, "Thank God, you've saved the child I" We.put hini on the sofa, an' softened his skin with cream An' we waited, wonderin' how long he'd b»* a-oomin'ont o' bis dream. He breathed so soft at first, and then it . harderrpse, , An' be opened bis eyes an* bob, " Dad, ' the old mare fell on her nose. T r got the sugar, baeoy, an* nails, an' 1 Egm'ont Stab as well. An* I 'sped you'll find 'em 'bout the 1 pines where poor old Iraoy fell." * * * * Ben soon got well^-he'd a narrow shave had our pet, But Jane an! me that Saturday '94 fire we never will forget.
