dream-vivid enough, in the end, to
waken him. But he was a strong sleeper
and-save to the gong-awakened, as it
were, only in sections. When the first
part of him was awake he realized that it
was not he himself who was removing
those socks. Around the foot of his cot
whole clump of figures seemed to be
swiftly and nightmarishly at work. By
the time he fully realized that his socks
were leaving him, they were wholly gone.
And, with one manifold cackle of joy, half
an engine company ran tumultuously for
cover.
Some two minutes later the door opened
from the officers quarters and revealed
the figure of Captain William Kerrigan,
commanding. The, captain of 347 Com
pany was three things: First, very brave
and capable fire officer; second, notable
dy-killer-despite himself, perhaps, for
he was very handsome man; and, third,
he was an extremely poor sleeper-he had
never really recovered from his first
months of @fireman's insomnia He like
wise experienced all the poor sleeper's
pleasure when needlessly aroused. At the
present moment he could see nothing in
the bunk-room, for the night light had
been turned out. But he could hear.
Cots were now overturning three a min
ute, while from beneath them came chok-
ings, kickings, throttled cries.
"Yes?" he said, as one who knew his
company. "Yes? And what's the par
ticular kindergarten business now?'
There was silence. Then, sorely, from
Big:
"That's all right, fellers. reckon l can
finish this up to-morrah.
But if, by finishing it up, he meant re-
covering his socks, he was wrong. In
point of fact, as first step toward what
was to follow. by eight o'clock they had
been sent out in Connie Tinker's private
wash-bag to local laundry.
