&#13;
It was mid September and Mr. Trimble was alone in the cabin where he worked on model airplanes. That was his hobby. It was unusually cold for September and he was about to build the first fire of the season. He knew how to build a fire by using just one match. Never more than one match. He had watched his parents build a fire that way when he was a little boy and never forgot it. They did it that way because a box of wooden matches cost a nickel in those days and nickels were scarce. They did not waste. &#13;
&#13;
First, he must be sure to start the fire directly in the middle of the fireplace. Fires in a well built fireplace are so cozy and pretty, the flames, dancing and swirling, Frolicking and cracking inside the brick space meant for them. But never, never, are they to be started anywhere else.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Trimble split some small splinters of heart pine wood he had brought from Georgia. Next time sticks of oak broken  Into short pieces. Finally, he stacked some large larger split hickory he had stored in his woodshed, leaving space for air, so the fire could breathe.&#13;
&#13;
Just as he was about to strike the match on the soul of his boot, two of his young neighbors knocked on the door of his cabin. Come on in he called. Mary, Virginia Sharkey.&#13;
