One horse stabled in the struc¬ ture broke loose and escaped trom the burning barn but vvu.s so bad¬ ly burned that he bad to be shot on Sunday morning.
Claytoa Heckinan. owner of tlie property, was In the Poconos and wa.s not able to get to the scene until Suiulay when he visited at his home here. While he carried insurance on the place he will suf¬ fer a loss of several thousand dol¬ lars  because of the tire.
Tuesday evening at about 11 o'clock a message was received here at the Municipal Building to the effect that the barn on the farm of the Lone Star Cement Company of I'ennsylvania, in Up¬ per Nazareth township, better known as the old Klepplnger farm, immediately adjoining the Christ¬ ian Spring Motel property, was on flre. Tbe farm Is tenanted by John Hagenbuch.
Chief Stuber and a detail of men responded with the apparatus and when they arrived there tbe building was in a mass ot flames and beyond saving. They laid lines ot hose and saved the other buildings trom being consumed.

The barn which had bean re modeled about a year ago at a coat of about $4000, was valued in its entirety at above -10,000 and insurance to cover a consid erable part of the loss was carried by .Mr. Hagenbuch.
Autliories here are Inclined to believe that the barn burned about two months ago on th Ftlue^er prDperty, al.)ng the Bath pike, the barn on the Clayton Heckinan farm wliich l)uriied a week an<» atui the fire last night were all fired by the same person or persons. It l.s believed that someone with a grievance sought revenge in burning down the structures. A State fire marshall was expected in Nazareth today to investigate the flres and trom information which local police have it is believed the mystery of the origin of these blazes can ,be cleared up. N o Information would be made public a'^ to the nature of the information wbicb police hold but it was iaid that they believe they have knowledge enough to warrant their taking action at least one suspect.
The Vigilance Company was called to tha scene ot tbe flre a second tima bjr flames which broke out in the ruin, at 11 o'clock Wed¬ nesday morning and threatened a wagon shed. The flremen direct¬ ed a stream again.st the new bluz"? and soon had it under control.

The cantata "Pan. on a Summer Day." written and set to music by Paul Bliss, will be given in the High Scbool auditorium by the Girls' Glee Club on Thursday eve¬ ning. May t, at eight o'clock.
The girls have been rehearsing this cantata tor the past few months In an effort to present to the public a good program. We bope that the parents and friends of the girts will be interested enough to come and hear this can¬ tata.
Pan is nature In sound; the cheeping of the birds, the pit-pit of the summer shower, the hum¬ ming of th<« bees, the roar ot the storm, the crackling ot thunder, the wall of the wind, tbe chirp ot the crickets, and the mysterious murmurs of the night.
Following Is a synopsis ot the cantata:
On this summer day Pan plays his pipes as the world awakes, now humming softly, now with bird¬ calls.
The sunbeams steal over the hills to draw up the dew drops (the diamonds wbich night has dropped) resting on the downy pil¬ lows of "Go.ssamer Webs," which are little blt^ of night's trailing garments, torn oft as she fled.
A summer shower ends abrupt-
At noon. Pan, in the reeds by the river, lulls the world to sleep with the "Song of the bees,"
In the afternoon, during a "Oreat Storm," Pan flies trom the
