As Tom looked into a circle of violet-colored glass set in the side cf the small searchlight, to see what had caused the extraordinary glow, he could observe nothing out of the ordinary. The violet glass was to protect the eyes from the glare. "It must be that, by accident, I made some new connection at the dynamo," murmured Tom. "Hi! Lemme go! Lemme go, Massa giant!

The first thing they saw was a train of violet-colored velvet, half hidden by the table. Compton ran forward with a cry of dismay.

A little child is in his path a sweet, blooming, ruddy, noble boy; with violet-colored eyes and flaxen hair disporting merrily at a short distance from his parents, who are seated at the threshold of their dwelling.
Lena moved without exertion, rather indolently, and her hand often accented the rhythm softly on her partner’s shoulder. She smiled if one spoke to her, but seldom answered.
