. Phaeton Rogers; a novel of boy life . , and the unusually large crowd attracted attention.We were all ready to explain the situation to people whostood in the doors or looked out at the windows, and theresult was that Holman had plenty of work. Soon after turning into West street, he began to gomuch more slowly. At the house where Miss Gliddenhad been living since the fire, nobody appeared at dooror window. It happened that right here something gotout of order in the machine--at least, Holman said itdid, and he had to stop stock-still and tinker at it a longtime ; but I was not able to see what was out of order.
