phalanx now. They knew their

And those who would have OPP

irresistihly to the door; in mo-
ment they were out, and dragging

one. And they rushed to the
north, where. indeed, the sky was
REDEEMED by the glare OF a great
fire.
But this fire was one Of many
that had been lighted to help to
celebrate the triumph Of Robert
Fulton and the Clermont. So
they found when they came close
to it. And no one whom they
met could tell them where was
the true fire that they sought.
Back in the fire house, while
the crowd surged about and
ragged, half in, half out, Larry De-
lavan was. one OF the few who
kept his head. Suspicious from

a few questions that, none Of
