the Old Days.
In the old days before steam fire
engines came into use tbere used to
be fierce struggles between rival
fire companies to see whicb could
“ wash" the other engine. A fire
was then “ fought” by extending a
line of engines from the nearest
water to the burning building. The
engine at the cistern or hydrant
pumped water to the one in front,
this in turn supplied the third, and
•o on until the one at the fire end of
the line waa reached, and it played
upon the flames.
Tha foreman of the first engine
to reach the fire hailed the next
company that arrived with, “ Will
you take our water?” ▲ refusal
was not to be thought of. It would
be ahowing the “ white feather.”
An engine waa “ washed” when its
rival supplied it with more water
than It could pump out, so that its
box was overflowed. As the engines
were all of nearly the same size and
pattern, the victory would belong
to the company that applied the
moat mu«cle to its brakes.
The exciting contest begah with
the first stroke of the alarm bell,

first member who reached the en

kicked away the chocks and rolled

and away the “ machine” goes.
“ Start her livelv, boys!” shouts
the foreman, running ahead. “ Let
cut more rope!” is the cry, as fresh
members lay bold. “ Pull steady I”
