Its initial glare struck squarely into Lanyard's eyes, dazzling them, as he peered through a narrow opening in the portieres; and though the light was instantly shifted, for several moments a blur of peacock colour, blending, ebbing, hung like a curtain in the darkness, and he could see nothing distinctly only the trail traced by that dancing spot-light over walls and furnishings.
We are to play for the rest of the winter like a couple of boys." With mind entirely at ease I left them on the rose-embowered porch of my uncle's home, and started east by way of Denver and Chicago, eager to resume work on a book which I had promised for the autumn. Chicago was now full in the spot-light of the National Stage.
Wallie walked around and turned the spot-light on the other side of his Jersey. The outlook, he fancied, seemed more promising. He sat down on his heel and started in energetically. It did make a difference which side one milked on there was no doubt about it.
One cobra, probably devoid of the artistic temperament, or finding stage-life uncongenial to him, hungered for freedom, and, leaving his basket, glided swiftly on to the crowded verandah.

At the culminating crash the lights were everywhere darkened save for an orange-coloured spot-light set in the ceiling immediately above the dancing floor.

There was a brief account of how he had followed in the path of the Prince of Peace, and of the tremendous effect he had upon his audiences. Then came the war, which tore him from his humble home. The battle raged, the Bavarians charged the French lines, and the spot-light of the story was played upon a soldier from Oberammergau who lay wounded in "No-Man's Land."
