"I was down the hill, right in the track of the fire, and I couldn't get back to the cabin at all, and--ah--this gentleman saw me through the telescope and ran down there and got me out of it.

And right where I had been sitting on a rock, the fire has burned just everything! And I wish you would get word somehow to Miss Kate Humphrey, at Toll-Gate cabin, that Marion Rose is all right and will be home just as soon as she can get down there without burning her shoes.

And--oh, will you please tell her that I took the bread out of the oven before I left, and that it's under the box the cream came in?
I put it there to keep the bluejays away from it till she woke up, and she may not know where to look....
Yes, thank you, I think that will be all....

But listen! This man up here saved my life, though of course it is a pity he was not here to answer the phone, every minute of the day.

What I want to say is that it was my fault, and I hope you'll please excuse me for having a life that needed to be saved just when you called! I wouldn't for the world....
