During the early part of the evening after the exhibition on Riverside
Drive, a boy clad in the full uniform of a fireman, wearing on the left
breast of his coat a handsome gold medal suspended by a knot of red
ribbon, walked rapidly down the street toward the headquarters of
Ninety-four engine, and a crowd of lads, who might have been bootblacks
or newsboys, gathered on the sidewalk, cheered him loudly as he came in
view, after which the senior member of the firm of Roberts & Dean
shouted shrilly:

"Now let's give three more rousers for the substitute fireman of
Ninety-four engine!"

And the cheers were given with such a hearty will that citizens more
than a block away turned hastily to ask one of the other why the police
allowed such a disturbance to be made at that hour.

THE END.
