  We introduce a new metric for collections of aged paths and a robust set of
criteria for compactness for a set of collection of aged paths in the topology
corresponding to this metric. We show that the distribution of stable webs ($1<
\alpha \leq 2$) made up of collections of stable paths is tight in this
topology. We then show the weak convergence of appropriately normalized systems
of coalescing random walks in the domain of attraction of stable laws for $1 <
\alpha \leq 2$ under this metric to the corresponding stable web. We obtain
some path results in the brownian case.
