Periods of modified darkness intervened, when the face of the girl in her corner seemed a vision subtle and wraithlike. But ever the recurrent lights revealed her sweetly incarnate if deep in enervation of crushing weariness. Once she stirred and sighed profoundly; and Lanyard, bending toward her, asked if he could be in any way of service.
The young moon shed only a wan and wraithlike radiance over the plain. They were alone, and the parting with their last friend, combined with the solitude of the open spaces, had its effect upon them. They rode awhile in subdued silence. But not for long. Frank's lively spirits were the first to rebound.
"Bet ye money to mushmelons," mumbled Hiram as they passed, "he's got a warrant from old Alcander and is on his way to arrest." "I know he is," affirmed the Cap'n. "Every time he sticks that old tin badge on the outside of his coat he's on the war-path. Whip up, Hiram!" From afar they spied the tall figure of Dependence Crymble passing wraithlike to and fro across the yard.
Standing in my stirrups, I fired six times at the wraithlike forms ahead as fast as I could work the lever of my rifle. Of course, it was useless, but just the same I had to shoot. In about a mile the great herd slowed down and stopped. We could see hundreds of animals on every side, in groups of fifty or one hundred.
His fists clenched; once more he tugged, straining at his stout bonds. He called down maledictions on those two strange, impassive, wraithlike forms hardly more than half seen in the darkness and fog. Then, as delirium won again over his tortured senses and disjointed thoughts, he shouted the name of Beatrice time after time out into the echoing dark that brooded over the great waters.
"You ought to see her, Judge," Anne's tone was rapturous, "you just ought to see her." "Shall I come down?" Judy asked. She was glowing, radiant. "Yes, indeed. Come and dance on the path." Five minutes later Judy was whirling, wraithlike in the white light of the moon, which turned her scarlet trappings to silver. Anne sat by the Judge and made admiring comments. "Isn't it fine?" she asked.
The girl in the blackness without the candle-shine moved slightly. "What's that?" asked Dunke, startled. "What's what?" "That noise. Some one moved." Dunke's revolver came swiftly from his pocket. "I reckon it must a-been the girl." "What girl? Miss Kinney?" Dunke's hard eyes fastened on the other like steel augers. Margaret came forward and took wraithlike shape.

The tall naked treetops stood gaunt and wraithlike against a leaden sky.
He was so dead that already his step-mother was going on with a full acceptance of the idea. She reviewed her relationship to him. No, she had nothing to blame herself for. He had been more troublesome than any of her own children and for that reason she had been more liberal with the rod. And yet—the face of the squaw rose before her, wraithlike, accusing!
You remembered, and seemed to see another woman hovering wraithlike behind mother's plump figure, as she sat contentedly crocheting those endless strips of trimming for towels and things mother as she might have been if no dominating nature had ringed hers in with an iron fence.
