In this epoch of chemical discoveries England had produced such mental giants and pioneers in science as Black, Priestley, and Cavendish; Sweden had given the world Scheele and Bergman, whose work, added to that of their English confreres, had laid the broad base of chemistry as a science; but it was for France to produce a man who gave the final touches to the broad but rough workmanship of its foundation, and establish it as the science of modern chemistry.
"I'll take off his bridle if you insist. But it's a grand nose. I love it. Never was there such a nose." Bergman, with a desperate wrench, regained his freedom and staggered away with his face in his hands. "It actually stretched," said Bob, as he regretfully watched his victim. "I dare say I'll never find another nose like it."
The word was given to fire the sheds, and soon four clouds of black smoke were ascending to the sky, while the flames began to roar. "Don't start until I give the word," cautioned Mr. Bergman. "I want the fires to get a good headway." Anxiously the members of the four companies stood lined up, ready for the signal. Grouped around them was a big throng.
'I will give you something else in place of my dinner, said she. 'I can easily eat it myself; but if you will have something you can have a whack of my stick, and with that she raised it in the air and struck the bergman over the head with it. 'What a wicked little girl you are! said he; 'but you shall be none the better of this. I shall give you three wishes, and choose them for you.
"Well, I don't believe Mr. Bergman will ever do anything for us," insisted Tom. But he was mistaken. The very next day Bert received a letter from the owner of the lumber yard, in which Mr. Bergman thanked the young firemen for what they had done. Nor was this all. Enclosed in the letter was a check for two hundred dollars. "I send you this as a small taken of my appreciation," the letter read.
Her good sense argued that she was of too little consequence to warrant such an assault, but her relatives seized the suggestion so avidly as to more than half convince her. Mrs. Knight attributed this injustice first to Bergman, then to Merkle, whom she hated bitterly since her unfortunate attempt at blackmail; Jim was inclined to agree with her.
As this was the quinquennial meeting officers were elected. Mrs. Catt was unanimously re-elected and the following received large majorities: Mrs. Fawcett, first, and Miss Furuhjelm, second vice-presidents; Miss Martina Kramers, Netherlands; Mrs. Anna Lindemann, Germany; Miss Signe Bergman, Sweden, first, second and third secretaries; Mrs. Stanton Coit, treasurer.
Waiting until the fire was at its height, Mr. Bergman gave the word to start. "Now, boys!" cried Bert to his men. "Show 'em how we do it!" "Run! Run!" yelled Vincent, to his lads, "We want the chance to compete in the finals!" With a rumble of the big wheels over the rough ground, the two chemical engines were hauled toward the blazes.
As the renowned astronomer, Tycho Brahe, discovered in one of his pupils, John Kepler, an astronomer greater than the master, and as Bergman, the Swedish chemist, in a similar manner, discovered the greater chemist Scheele, so when Davy, in after years, was asked what he regarded as his greatest discovery, he briefly replied, "Michael Faraday."
He had been talking to Dahlin that very morning a tall boy, slow, self-possessed, older than most of the other pupils, and advanced for his age in everything but studies. "He is," said Bergman with emphasis. "And so are the other two. They are dragging for the bodies now." So that was what I saw those people doing out there, Keith thought. "Little Moses was with them," Bergman ran on.
