al appearance is thus described: There was
a large but fine head on the small spare body,

Hood called them, catching ELIAS own tone.
About his face, apart from its expression, was
an ancient quaintness-being full of wiry
lines, with a deep earnestness about the brows,
a rather hooked nose and decided mouth. We
all know these old-fashioned faces, full OF char
acter, but we do not meet so often that touch

more observant friends saw lingering a sense
of old troubles-nor those wonderful eyes
