I've been here since quarter to ten." "Do you suppose we could go through the lines?" Smith inquired. "I've got a New York fire badge." "All right for you, sir I'll pass you on it but not for the lady." This did not admit of an argument. "Now, aren't you sorry you brought me?" asked the girl. "Well, no," said her companion. "Hardly yet. Let's try a little strategy."

You live pretty close to the requirements of the law now, but it'll be necessary to learn it, and I'll explain then what each law means. You'll have to learn what the scout badge stands for and how it's made up, and other things." Doctor Joe carefully marked the necessary pages and references. "Now about the flag," said Doctor Joe.

As Smith had no wife, this could not have been his cognizance. Nor are these his arms, which were three Turks' heads borne over and beneath a chevron. The cognizance of "Moors' heads," as we have said, was not singular in the Middle Ages, and there existed recently in this very church another tomb which bore a Moor's head as a family badge.

Most of my younger life I was accused of ulterior motives of political ambition, whereas I had seen too much of preferment not to abhor it. To me, as to my father, office has seemed ever a badge of servitude. For a long time, indeed, I nursed the delusions of the ideal. The love of the ideal has not in my old age quite deserted me.

Almost any day now. No, I cannot tell you if General Jackson is coming. It is not impossible. 'Washington Artillery? That's a command to be proud of. Let me see your Tiger Head."

King William Artillery?

Buck Patterson, tall, muscular, and solemn-faced, with his bright "City Marshal" badge shining on the breast of his blue flannel shirt, gave his posse directions for the onslaught upon Calliope.
