Edna sat silent for some time, with her slender hands folded on her lap, and the pastor heard her softly repeating, as if to her own soul, those lines on "Life": "A cry between the silences, A shadow-birth of clouds at strife With sunshine on the hills of life; Between the cradle and the shroud, A meteor's flight from cloud to cloud!" Several hours later, when Mr.

He felt that if he became idle or careless now, his brilliant success would prove to be but a meteor's flash, instead of the clear and steady planet light he intended it to become. He read and thought with great diligence and perseverance; and so he often found a way through labyrinths of difficulty that would have baffled any less firmly persistent thinker and worker.

It's quite introuvable. Mrs. Dale. I know that. How much we two have seen together, Of other eyes unwist, Dear as in days of leafless weather The willow's saffron mist, Strange as the hour when Hesper swings A-sea in beryl green, While overhead on dalliant wings The daylight hangs serene, And thrilling as a meteor's fall Through depths of lonely sky, When each to each two watchers call: I saw it!

Also, there's a case of fairly good booze downstairs that the janitor is taking care of until you call for it. So long, fellows!" And with a wave of his hat the Goat departed.

Perhaps you could tell me, then, how soon after the meteor's fall, the barn yonder was discovered to be afire?" "Almost instantly. It was in full blaze within very short time after." "How short? Five minutes or so?" "Not so much. Certainly not more than two." "H'm! Peculiar! Ra-a-a-ather peculiar." drawled Average Jones. "Particularly in view of the weather." "In what respect?"

"But the man was there, Jordan; the man who could charm the terrors from the hearts of a fear-stricken crew; who could convert a meteor's fall into an augury of good instead of an omen of terror; who could quell the mutinous spirit which was awakened by a varying needle and raging storms. "It is not the great ship that counts, but the motives in the souls of those who build and navigate the ship.

'That there's not a word of truth in the Meteor's charges, and I am prosecuting the editor. Did you post those letters? Fielding pulled them out of his pocket and threw them on to the table.

I stood outside in the meteor's livid light, hating them and cursing them for having delayed me so long.

The question I now had to debate was which of the remaining couples I had to pursue.
