The chief of the League of the
Covenant, who stood facing us, was
the merest wisp of a man physically.
Seton would have made four of him,
and myself probably three. He was
smaller than Dan Lamont But If
the mans physique was Insignificant,
there was nothing small about his
personality. A pale-faced, one-armed
little fellow. with a biggish head
ornamented with thin brown hair and a
silky beard, some keen force jumped
out of him that was like a bright
blade. The eyes that at first you took
to be so extraordinarily mild had
depths in them that were blue fame.
The eyes held you, mastered you, and
In the still placidity of that gentle
face you read of a soul that was above
pain, sorrow, toy-everything that in
fiuences the thought and actions of
the ordinary human. 1t held sense
or bravery, too. relentless courage that
made you. shiver TO think OF, for behind
1t lay Will and a power that nothing
human could thwart. Here was a man
one could not blum. for the mind that
/ looked out of him was analytical of
your faintest motive. your most vagrant
thought or impulse.
I'm afraid that l put down very badly
my own impressions at first meeting
the chief of the league. Many a time
since l have asked Dan Lamont to
turn his uncommon power of analysis
on the subject, but even he fails in de-
scrioing the sensation he felt when he
first looked into those extraordinary
eyes. The nearest we can both get to it
| is simply contained in one word-power
power to the nth degree.
He took US all In, one by one, then
he bent his gaze on me.
