What right has any one, without regard to her pain, her ideas, or her requirements, to hammer her out, as a cheap metal, out of which a workman fashions a candlestick or an extinguisher? Is it because the poor creatures are already so feeble and miserable that a brute claims the power to torture them, merely at the dictate of his own fancies, which may be more or less just?

"It smells like oil afire," said Larry Dexter. "That's what it is probably some oily waste started by spontaneous combustion," said Mr. Vardon. As he spoke he threw the contents of his extinguisher inside the motor compartment it was hardly large enough to be called a room. The smoke was so black that no blaze could be seen. "Open some of the windows!" shouted Paul. "It's choking in here."

"I hope we can do something to aid Baxter," remarked Tom. "He has done me good service in this chemical fire extinguisher matter." A little later Tom and Ned were speeding through the air on their way to Newmarket. The rapid flier was making good time at not a great height when Ned, leaning forward, appeared to be gazing at something in the near distance.

Wynn, looking after her in blank amazement; "If I ain't teetotally constonished, and clean put out, like a tallow dip under an extinguisher, by my fine young schoolmistress. You heard that, I suppose, Betsey Pryor?" "Oh! of course I heard it," said that piece of antiquity, with a spiteful laugh, "and I hope now you are beginning to see through your model young lady.

I threw back the bedclothes, and, shivering with the rawness of the early morning, albeit it was summer-time, I got out and lit the candle. Then, trembling horribly, so that the extinguisher rattled on its spike, I tottered to the glass and saw Elvesham's face! It was none the less horrible because I had already dimly feared as much.

Damon, as he saw the young inventor head directly toward a spouting mushroom of flame, which showed that the fire had broken through the roof. "What are you going to do?" "Go to the rescue!" answered Tom Swift. "I couldn't ask a better opportunity to try my new extinguisher! Sit tight, every one!"

He bowed his head upon his breast until the extinguisher pointed directly at Fanny's nose, as her brother mischievously made her aware. When I thought that Nittinat had taken time to sufficiently regret his cousin's misfortune in losing so many young men, I gently reminded him of Charlie's question.

Let me see it again 'in recognition of all claims against the patent extinguisher aforementioned' sit down, Pete, it's only ten o'clock! Let's talk. Aren't you simply WILD with joy, Cherry?" But she told Peter later that she had been surprised at Cherry's quietness; Cherry had looked pale and abstracted, and had not seemed half enthusiastic enough.

"And this is one of my inventions. I might add," he said slowly, looking first Melling and then Field full in the face, "that I was aided in perfecting the chemical extinguisher by Josephus Baxter." The effect on the two men, whom Tom believed were scoundrels, was marked. "Baxter!" cried Field. "Is he associated with you?" demanded Melling.

I realize that marriage would put an extinguisher on all aspirations in that direction." "Is marriage so very commonplace?" grumbled Jefferson. "Not commonplace, but there is no room in marriage for a woman having personal ambitions of her own. Once married her duty is to her husband and her children not to herself."
