There came a sound from a far corner of a pile of ties and a moment later a night-watchman advanced suspiciously swinging his lantern. "Hello yourself," he growled. "Which way to Stuart Whitney's estate?" asked Craig. My heart sank as he gave the directions. It seemed miles away. Just then the blinding lights of a car flashed on us as it came down the road parallel to the tracks.
There is my appeal yet before the Kammergericht. And take care that you are not in gaol first; that pamphlet is either one of the suppressed editions, or has been smuggled in from Zürich, a proof in itself of that negative concept of the State which the pamphlet aims at destroying. Your State is a mere night-watchman it protects the citizen but it does nothing to form him.
The man reached the ground at the foot of the stairs, then there was a flash of fire from the shadow underneath, and a shot rang out. Ellen did what she could never have counted upon herself for doing. She ran straight towards the man, who had fallen prostrate like a log, and was down on the ground beside him, with his head on her lap, shouting for the night-watchman, whose name was McLaughlin.
S'pose I should go in for both situations! It might be managed. The first boy could take a well-paid situation as a clerk, an the second boy might go in for night-watchman at a bank." Oh! if one o' the boys could only be a girl, what a lark that would sk! ha! ha!" He was interrupted at this point by a shoe-black, who remarked to his companion: "I say, Bob, 'ere's a lark.
One by one the lights went out. One by one the shoppers left the toy department of the store. One by one the clerks rode down in the elevators. At last all was still and quiet and dark that is, all dark except for a small light, so the night-watchman could see his way around.
"I'm a sophomore and you're only a little freshman, please remember, and you have no business pulling my hair." "Lights out in two minutes, young ladies," called the night-watchman from below, and freshman and sophomore raced for the stairs. "It was awfully good of you to come and take me out for a walk, little sister.
Up to his little box of a room he climbed, found his pipe-case and tobacco-pouch, and in five minutes was strolling out to the point once more, when he came suddenly upon the night-watchman, a personage of whose functions and authority he was entirely ignorant. The man eyed him narrowly, and essayed to speak.
Do you wait here in shadow." And he darted away. The gate creaked as it gave. Then I waited for what seemed eternity. A night-watchman shuffled along with swinging lantern, calling out: "What ho? What ho?" Townsfolks rode through the streets with a clatter of the chairmen's feet; but no words were bandied by the fellows, for a Sabbath hush lay over the night.
But I was rebuked for trying to feed an idle and frivolous curiosity in so solemn and so mournful a place; and went my way with a humbled crest. Next morning I was telling the widow my adventure, when she exclaimed 'Come with me! I have a lodger who shall tell you all you want to know. He has been a night-watchman there. He was a living man, but he did not look it.
"I want my breakfast bad, and arter that I shall 'ave to lose a honest day's work in bed." Talking about eddication, said the night-watchman, thoughtfully, the finest eddication you can give a lad is to send 'im to sea. School is all right up to a certain p'int, but arter that comes the sea. I've been there myself and I know wot I'm talking about. All that I am I owe to 'aving been to sea.
