As the runner came under the rays of the corner arc-light, McCoy started and peered intently after the departing figure. It sure looked like Gregory. And he was angling in the direction of the Lang hill. The idea clung tenaciously. When he reached his rooming-house it became an obsession. He decided to find out if the runner could have been his employer.
Sawdy volunteered to save time by fetching Belle Shockley from the hotel, and while McAlpin and Lefever inspected and discussed the horses for the condition of which McAlpin, as foreman of Kitchen's barn, was responsible Kate stood, listener and onlooker. Everything was new and interesting. Four horses champed impatiently under the arc-light swinging in the street, and looked quite fit.
In the neighboring rectory of Grace Church one dim light was burning in an upper room. The marble church itself looked a part of the winter scene; its walls and pinnacles, already encrusted with ice crystals, glittered fantastically in the rays of the arc-light; beneath them, the dark, shuffling, huddling line of humanity moved uneasily in the discomfort of the keen wind.
“For your best anchorage, sir,” declared Captain Jack, after he had brought the gunboat slowly into the harbor, “you will do well to anchor with that main arc-light dead ahead, that shed over there on your starboard beam, and the front end of the submarine shed about four points off your port bow.” Mr.

He had a word for each man, a word of appreciation and a plea for suspended judgment. Most of the men shook their heads despondently, but a few of them promised to stand on the side of law and order.
He stuck his cap on his head now, and slammed out of the door for a half-hour's play under the corner arc-light. Fanny rarely brought books from school, and yet she seemed to get on rather brilliantly, especially in the studies she liked. During that winter following her husband's death Mrs. Brandeis had a way of playing solitaire after supper; one of the simpler forms of the game.
"You seem to have a perfect passion for hearing music-lessons. I wish I could trade jobs with you!" "I'm not interested in singers." His tone was offended. "I am interested in talent. There are only two interesting things in the world, anyhow; and talent is one of them." "What's the other?" The question came meekly from the figure opposite him. Another arc-light flashed in at the window.
She felt that she was divine, but she knew that she had cold feet. In truth, the Library Steps were wet and glistening, for there had been a shower after midnight. But now the gibbous moon was giving a silent imitation of an arc-light high in the western heaven.
Even in the protected suburban street the drifts were beginning to show size, and the arc-light at the corner was almost lost to view through the downfall. Charlotte turned to her husband with something like imperiousness in her manner, and met the same decision in his look. Before she could speak he said: "Yes, I'll go to meet them. It does look as if they might be stalled somewhere.
