text_original: As the young man leaped from the cab he uttered a cry of surprise and alarm, and rushed towards the crowd of firemen nearest to the burning house without paying his fare. Willie was a little astonished at this, but losing sight of the youth in the crowd, and seeing nothing more of him at that time, he became engrossed in other matters. There were so many men on the ground, however  for just then a third engine dashed up to the scene of conflagration  that it was difficult for the excited boy to appreciate fully what he saw.
