One night a great fire broke out in a building which was thought by the gathering spectators to have been evacuated. As they stood watching the flames, they suddenly heard the frightened wails of a small child from the fifth-story window. Up went a ladder and a fireman was seen ascending to the spot. As he neared the second story, the flames burst furiously from the windows, and the crowd almost despaired of the child's rescue. The brave man faltered, until a comrade from below cried out, "Cheer!" Cheer after cheer arose from the crowd, and the fireman continued up the ladder with renewed courage. The child was rescued, thanks to the encouragement of those standing below.
