Unfortunately his command of the English language was far from perfect, and in his excitement the word “ fight ” was interpreted as “ fire.” The alarm was duly given and soon there were heard the hoot of sirens and two bands of (ire-fighters came rushing to the seeing of the supposed lire, while Irom the other direction came three or four nolice constables. The Fire Brigade looked for the fire, but failed to find it. All they got were explanations —very incoherent —which amused no one hut a band of Hindus who apparently thought that it was the joke of the season. Their faces were a direct contrast to those of the hrigadesmen, who | j lost no time in returning to their j station. C nili together this winter. Visit Ynrrnll’s and buy a really fine gramophone.
