Seems old Joe Cumberland had a hunch to clean up the landscape--old fool! so he jest up in the mornin' an' without sayin' a word to any one he downs to the saloon and touches a match to it.

When he come back to his house he tells his girl, Kate, what he done.

With that she lets out a holler an' drops in a faint." Haines muttered.
"What's the matter ?" asked Terry, a little anxiously.
"Nothin," said Haines.

"She fainted, eh?
Well, good!" "Yep.

She fainted an' when she come to, she told Cumberland that Dan was in the saloon, an' probably too weak to get out of the fire.
