With hook and axes the firemen rushed in; hose was let down through the manholes, and down there in the depths the battle was fought and won. The building was saved; but in the midst of the rejoicing over the victory there fell a sudden silence.

However that may be, it is evident he took no note of an open cellar-way that lay behind him, over the brink of which he deliberately backed, throwing up his hands as he disappeared. We heard a heavy fall, but heard no cry.
Far away on the other side of the white-washed basement, men were unloading gleaming cans of milk. Floods of sunlight came down the cellar-way, touching their white coats and turning the cans to silver. Everywhere was the religion of the hospital, which is order.
