How Fire Brigade of CONSTANT

Some idea Of how the fire brigade

tanned in the following letter from an

In his red helmet and drab gray

looks as unbusinessIike and unherOic
as he is unpicturesque. In action he
is anything but IA mOde-ihdeed il

INDECENT disposition of his race to let

If the lmplous curiosity so aroused
