Only one such question need be stated, and it is this: Is it likely that the Infinite Ruler of the universe, either at mid-day or at mid-night, went out of his way to induce a Sun-God worshipper who would not enter the Christian Church till a quarter of a century later and ere then was to become a murderer of innocent persons like the boy-Caesar Licinius, to adopt a symbol which he warranted would enable Constantine to lead on the Gauls to victory?
But what place has an obituary in a truthful tale of adventure and mystery! Reginald Paynter was dead. His body had been found beside the road just outside the city limits at mid-night by a party of automobilists returning from a fishing trip. The skull was crushed back of the left ear.
Who has not felt a shiver run down his back when, snug in a warm bed, the mid-night stillness has been broken by two amorous cats on the roof or in the court that are putting their vocal powers and their hearer's patience to the test?
As night fell, however, their roars became louder and nearer, and by mid-night there were at least a dozen of them pacing round our scherm, and barely kept at a distance by the frequent fire- brands we threw over the fragile protection.
Breckenridge made an attack on this position and as he rode into the fight, I thought him the finest looking man I had ever seen on horseback.

Strange, how just his way of saying those four words suddenly made the act such a fearsome one. "Do it right now," he suggested. "But it isn't night yet," she answered, "let alone being mid-night."
But they navigated chiefly by sound. The whistle of a distant train, the sound of church clocks, the street cries of a town these were Kosmaroff's degrees of latitude. "We are getting near," he said, in little more than a whisper. "What is the time?" It was nearly eleven o'clock. If they got past the frontier they would sweep through Thorn before mid-night.
Pardon me sir, you would not have touch'd her with a pair of tongs, but now, no one knows how, or wherefore she's got into heaven; and is Trimalchio's all in all: In short, if she says it is mid-night at mid-day, he'll believe her.
