The moon, too, which had long been climbing overhead, and unobtrusively melting its disk into the azure, like an ambitious demagogue, who hides his aspiring purpose by assuming the prevalent hue of popular sentiment, now began to shine out, broad and oval, in its middle pathway. These silvery beams were already powerful enough to change the character of the lingering daylight.
The crowd he had left stared after him without presuming to voice taunt or reply; there was something compelling about him. As Farr approached the automobile its owner stopped talking and stared at the tall stranger with some apprehension. Then the big man beckoned unobtrusively to a policeman.
