"How dark the water looks!" she suddenly cried; "stars in plenty where is Davy's Light?" White and fear-filled, she sprang toward the stairs and ran lightly upward. Slower she went, after the third landing; anxiety, added to weariness, stayed the eager feet. If the Light were not burning, what then?
Divested of his disguise, no longer a fear-filled roustabout fugitive, Bart's strange friend had found a steady, lucrative position at the hotel, and Bart felt that he had certainly been the means of doing some real good in the world every time he looked at the happy, contented face of his protégé. Concerning all the details of Baker's past, Bart never knew the entire truth.
Ann opened her eyes and smiled up at him, weakly. "Make a light, father," she whispered, and with a fear-filled heart Truedale touched the electric button. The room was already filled with sunlight, for it faced the west; but for Ann it was cold and dark. Then, as if setting the last pitiful scene for her own departure, she turned to Lynda: "Make a mother-lap for Ann," she said.
Don't you hear Aunt Ann?" "You promised, little Cyn!" whined Miss Walden, "you promised!" "I know all about it!" Cynthia murmured, still keeping her fear-filled eyes upon the caller "I, too, want you to go away!" Her training had fitted Marcia Lowe to understand and take alarm at what she beheld, but it also demanded that she leave at once.
The memory of the two brutes who stood and laughed as Rokoff struck her was still vivid. As the rage and fear-filled countenance of the Slav turned toward her Jane Clayton raised the heavy revolver high above the pasty face and with all her strength dealt the man a terrific blow between the eyes.

Tom Davis was born fur misfortin as the sparks fly up'ard. Him, with them boots an' ilers on, in a gale sich as that war!" "Davy, what was that?" Janet clung to the keeper, her eyes dark and fear-filled.
The lion was up wind and so could not have caught her scent as yet, though he might be approaching to investigate the light of the fire which could doubtless be seen for a considerable distance. For another fear-filled hour the girl sat straining her eyes and ears out into the black void beyond her little island of light.
High-pitched, fear-filled voices, and deep, low tones of authority, as the chief spoke. Tarzan and the panther heard the approaching footsteps of many men, and then, to Tarzan's surprise, the great cat rose from across the body of its kill, and slunk noiselessly from the hut through the aperture through which it had entered.

If he had had time to think but fortunately impulse had swept him into action before he could let discretion stop him. He lived over again joyfully that happy moment when June had stood before him pulsing with life, eager, fear-filled, tremulous.
"Watch this bunch," said Burton to one of his lieutenants, "while we go after the rest of them. There are some over by the mill. I can hear them." From the woods came a fear-filled scream mingled with the savage growls of a beast. "It's the bear," shrilled Willie Case, and ran toward the automobile. Bridge ran forward to meet Burton.
