Tom's first impulse was to run after the automobile, the red tail-light of which glowed through the blackness like a ruby eye. Then he realized that it was going from him at such a swift pace that it would be impossible to get near it, even if his bicycle was in working order. "But if I had my motor-cycle I'd catch up to them," he murmured. "As it is, I must hurry home and tell dad.
"It won't be my fault if you get hurt because you don't keep still," I said. Then there was a roar of laughter close by, and staring breathless down the track I saw the tail-light of the train grow dimmer across the prairie until it stopped and came swinging toward us again. "I'd rather have lost five dollars than missed that," said my new friend, rubbing his hands.
Sea-food, waffles, privacy, and discretion were its recognized specialties, and people came for miles mainly in pairs to enjoy them. As the pedestrians neared the avenue of maples leading up to the house they espied in the road ahead of them first the dull red glow of a tail-light, then a dusty license plate. "There's luck," Merkle ejaculated. "I'll rent this car."
'They are not quite ladies and gentlemen I mean, a lady and gentleman but they are rather kind, and I think they will take care of our furniture, Stella; so I should let them have it till we are rich again and can buy this place back from them, said Vava, as she stood on the steps watching the tail-light of the Montague Joneses' well-appointed car disappear down the drive.
A sufficient interval of time had been allowed after the mineral train had passed the last station, and then, as we have seen, the excursion train was permitted to proceed. Thus it came to pass that at a part of the line where there was a slight curve and a deep cutting, John Marrot looking anxiously through his circular window, saw the red tail-light of the mineral train.
I have given over my watch to a gendarme in Cairo to forfend arrest for having beaten an Arab who tripped me to pick my pocket, and I have surrendered to the rapacity of a major-general-uniformed official in Italy, who would incarcerate me for not having a tail-light lit.
As I sat on the hillside, watching the tail-light dwindle, I reflected on the various kinds of crime I had now sampled. Contrary to general belief, I was not a murderer, but I had become an unholy liar, a shameless impostor, and a highwayman with a marked taste for expensive motor-cars.

"Two wounded have arrived," said the lady. "You are to help these messieurs get out the stretchers." The porter looked out of the door at the tail-light of the ambulance, glowing red behind its curtain of rain. "Mon Dieu, what a deluge!" he exclaimed, and followed us forth. With an "Easy there," and "Lift now," we soon had both of our clients out of the ambulance and indoors.
"You must see Charlotte," she said, "and you must do as she says." With that she was gone. There was a car waiting; the last I saw was its winking tail-light dimming into the darkness. Left alone, I began thinking of Charlotte. I loved her; of that I was certain. I could not compare her with the Nervina. She was like myself, human. I had known her since boyhood.
I handed him the little booklet and began to light my lamps, cursing myself for a dreadful artist because I had forgotten to do so. "All right," he replied, and handed it back to me. "But how the devil you've managed to get all your lamps out, I can't imagine!" "This is my first job since dusk," I explained hurrying around to the tail-light. "And he don't say much!" remarked the constable.
