All angry, smoky reds and ochres the cross blazed forth and in its lurid glowings was something sinister, something real, something cruel, something nearer to earth, closer to man. "The Keeper of the Cones and the Metal Emperor!" muttered Drake. "I begin to get it yes I begin to get Ventnor!" Once more the pulse, the avid throbbing shook the crater.

Mekinese missiles were swerving crazily to try to anticipate and destroy the curving, impossibly-moving objects that went out from where the Horus had ceased to be. They failed. Clouds of new trajectiles appeared.... A flare like a temporary sun. Another. Another. Others.... Bors turned from the viewport and glanced at the radar-screens. There were thirteen vaporous glowings where ships had been.

It fell down, you may say, from the clear ether of heaven into the thick atmosphere of this world; and amidst the mists of human personality took on all sorts of iridescences; lit up strange rainbow tints and fires to glow and glisten more and more wonderfully as the centuries should pass; and kindle the Chinese imagination into all sorts of opal glowings and divine bewilderments and wonderments; and by and by the wonder-dyed mist-ripples floated out to Japan, and brought to pass there all sorts of nice Japanese cherry-blossomy and plum- blossomy and peonyish things, and Urashima-stories and Bushido- ish and Lafcadioish and badger-teakettle things: reawakened, in fact, the whole of the faery glow of the Eastern World.

Yet, as you shall believe, there was a new hope and strength of courage in all my body and soul.

In the upper air, or perhaps even beyond the limits of the field which deserves the name, in the regions extending from the poles to near the tropics, there occur electric glowings commonly known as the aurora borealis. This phenomenon occurs in both hemispheres.

"Just a little note for your father," he explained, "to tell him where we are, in case he worries about you." "That's very considerate of you," the girl answered in a thoughtful voice. She wondered at the curious glowings, lurid as red coals, that came and went in his eyes.
