It was the badge of the Black Bear Patrol, and beneath it was the Indian arrow-head badge of the Boy Scouts.
There was not a single good-looking face among the portraits, nothing but broad cheekbones and astonished-looking eyes. Lyalikov, Liza's father, had a low forehead and a self-satisfied expression; his uniform sat like a sack on his bulky plebeian figure; on his breast was a medal and a Red Cross Badge.
"He'd be sure the men were pirates, or something like that, show his new badge and want to question them." "Then I'm glad he isn't here!" exclaimed Amy, with such warmth that Grace exclaimed: "Oh, Amy! I never knew you cared so much." "I don't! That is yes, of course I care!
All have a regular fire costume, from the 'Oki Yaconin, or 'head man, to the bare-legged coolie, who carries the badge of the brigade in large red characters on his back. On arriving at a fire, a point de tête is selected generally a house, on the roof of which the fire-charms are immediately fixed, as if to forbid its further advance.

We'll also arrange an exchange-badge system, so no one gets inside the fence without handing in his own badge and getting a special one. That way, we'll have absolute control on who comes and goes." Gee-Gee Gould saw Rick and dropped a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Rick and I will do the final electronics check, just as we did on Orion." Rick looked at Gordon.
It must be noted that however unprepossessing his personality he wears an untarnished badge for bravery and faithful service as a scout. White-Man-Runs-Him said: “I cannot say anything better about Hairy Moccasin than to say that he executed faithfully the orders of General Custer.” He was the boyhood playmate of White-Man-Runs-Him.
