“Old Dorsey Dudgeon prides himself on knowing where the conflagration is as soon as he hears the firebell ring.” related the landlord of the Petunia tavern. “By the time half a dozen whangs have changed he has scrabbled into a garment or two and is out on his front porch, hollering to the people running by just where he knows the fire is.” “He should be of considerable assistance to the volunteer firemen and others in sending them in the proper direction,” commented the interested guest. “Eh-yah!
