This young feller in here took care of him all the way up from Buffalo Butte. No. 4 picked him up down the gulch and put him aboard us there." A long whistle was the only comment. At the first words spoken by the yardman, a quick glance passed between the two young men on the opposite, the fireman's, side of the cab. They could not see the speaker, but they knew the voice.
"While we were discussing the best way to stimulate the rabbit-breeding industry, 'biff boom bang, went the town bell and the barkeep commenced to peel off his coat and get into a red flannel shirt and a fireman's helmet. It was one of those towns where they have a dude volunteer fire department, which the boys all join for the socials in the winter and to look pretty on the annual parade day.
Belike, she is ill or restless for fatigue of the journey and the distance of the place from her home, and this is the second time she hath sent the Eunuch to look for thee." However Zau al-Makan paid no heed to the Fireman's words but cried out a third time and began versifying with these couplets,
Each time, Brown opened and closed the door as though an instant's heat were too precious to be lost. Brown's eyes were constantly upon the wavering needle of the steam gauge. Andrews, sitting in the fireman's seat, was leaning from the window, glancing first ahead and then back. Except for that first shout of triumph, he had been calm and deliberate.

Ford got down from the fireman's box and crossed over to the engineer's side to pilot Hector. "How's your track from this on?" inquired the big engineman gruffly. "It is about as rough as it can be, and not ditch the steel trains. You'll have to hold her down or we'll have results."
It is known that Tolleron had a fireman's cap, Avril an otter cap, Losvel a round hat, that old Delaporte was bald and bare-headed, that Castaing was all ruddy and very handsome, that Bories had a romantic small beard, that Jean Martin kept on his suspenders, that Lecouffe and his mother quarrelled. "Don't reproach each other for your basket," shouted a gamin to them.
To be able to use the fireman's lift may be to save a life, as it can be employed when there is but one person to do the carrying. With practise any girl of ordinary strength can lift and carry another of her own size or even larger.
"Skip Riley is not his name at all." "That so? What is it? Did you learn?" "I was talking to a lady from Strongburg, one of those who got him a job on the fire department." "What did she know about him?" "She said that she was appointed a committee of one by the Ladies' Aid Society over there to look up the new fireman's career." "And I suppose she ran onto some hot stuff?"
