the scream of the eagle, came floating downward, clear
and bell-like, from out the sky.

"'Tis the warning voice of the bird; the wisdom of the Ancient Ones!"

"We accept--we accept!" And seizing the staff with his right hand, he
raised it and made the sign of the cross above their heads. Then turning
and facing the warriors, he raised the staff on high once more and cried
in a loud voice:

"Tewana, earth-born Children of the Sun, salute your Chieftains!" A
mighty shout went up from the entire multitude. Ten thousand bow-strings
twanged on the air, and ten thousand arrows flew upward toward the sun.

Again and again the shouts of acclamation broke from the assembled
multitude and swept over them in great waves of sound until valley and
hills and mountains resounded with the cry, and then the people again
took up the ancient chant of the kings whose refrain, filling the
valley, swelled ever outward and upward to the great sacred bird that
soared high aloft with widespread pinions in the pale azure of heaven.

"It is done--it is done!" echoed and reechoed the refrain. Few there are
to whom the vision has been given, and fewer still that heed it.
