He did not succeed in getting his lungs quite full, however, for Michael J. Murphy, lurking beside the door, thrust the barrel of his gun in the fireman's ribs, effectually curtailing the process of respiration practically at once. From the other side of the door the chief engineer stepped out and wagged his bludgeon under the fireman's nose. "Ach!" Mr. Reardon coughed, and grimaced pleasantly.
For the first time since starting, a little thrill of the joy of adventure crept into Madden's heart. He felt like a ferret venturing into a rat's den. "Why you can tell an engineer easily," he murmured. "You've seen 'em, oily fellows, with black smudges." "That describes a fireman, too." "No, a fireman's not so oily and is more cindery then we'll know one by his cap."
Mr Auberly smiled again grimly, and said that the fireman was a brave fellow, and that he had saved his daughter's life, and that he was very glad to do anything that lay in his power for him, and that he understood that Willie was the fireman's brother; to which the boy replied that he was.
I notice that one-half those evenings she takes off, permitting me to mind the front door, and enabling us both to acquire proficiency in the art of helping ourselves at dinner, there's a fireman's ball or a policeman's hop or a letter-carriers' theatre party going on somewhere in the county, and it's my belief the worshipping she does on these occasions is at the shrine of Terpsichore or that of Melpomene, which is a heathen custom and not to be tolerated here.
Presently she heard galloping behind her, and the fireman's wild sharp cry of fire.
Why in the name of all that was inartistic did she choose red; not a deep, rich crimson, but a screeching vermilion, like a fireman's shirt? Issachar, when he had the opportunity, was a hard boss. It suited Mr. Price to display his superior knowledge and to find fault with his helper's lack of skill. Albert's hot temper was at the boiling point many times, but he fought it down.
The three a young lawyer, a Wall Street merchant, and Hal now tracked the fireman's steps with a "zeal worthy of a better cause."
Looking round, he saw his wife's large eyes fastened upon him, full of amazement, horror, and wrath. . . . "You took your dressing-gown off in the kitchen?" she said, turning pale. "Why?" "Look at yourself!" The deputy procurator looked down at himself, and gasped. Flung over his shoulders was not his dressing-gown, but the fireman's overcoat. How had it come on his shoulders?
"We all need practice," said Don. There were no further objections to hard work. The talk became eager as details were planned. The patrol would practice Wednesday afternoon at troop headquarters. Don would work with Ritter on splints, and Tim and Andy and Bobbie would form a team for artificial respiration, fireman's lift and stretcher work.
He stood rooted to the ground while the men in the freight car waved derisively. Brown had collapsed in the fireman's seat, his head thrown back against the cab wall and his eyes closed. The strain of driving a locomotive at full speed over a strange track was beginning to tell upon him. "There is nothing for us to do until we get past Dalton," said Andrews.
