stood Prophet Elias, welcoming all comers. He had
put off his robe and had laid aside his fantastic umbrella. He wore
the sober garb of a dominic, and his face, above his tie of white lawn,
displayed shrewd and complete appreciation of the occasion.
He took off his hat and bowed low when Colonel Wincott's party passed
under the arch. And this sonorous proclamation followed Frank and Vona:
"'And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead
them in paths that they have not known; I will make darkness light
before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto
them, and not forsake them.'"
"Amen!" responded Colonel Wincott, fervently.
The two persons on the rear seat did not speak. In silence they had
reverently prostrated themselves at a shrine of thanksgiving in their
souls.
