To the penetrating eyes of the Priestess and Hermo the light of

consciousness was momentarily seen and to the clairvoyant vision

of the Priestess a startling scene was beheld. The vibrations of

soul to soul, the love that had been kindled in Hermo's heart and

soul went out with such intensity that it aroused into a vivid

activity the slumbering soul of Sarthia, and the brain, being

already so finely tuned to the higher vibrations of the Spirit,

responded at once.

The fresh air, the green grass, the beautiful flowers and

shrubbery, with the inspiring presence of Hermo, were like magic

to quicken the pulsations of body and mind and bring to her cheek

and eyes the flush of health and life. Not much of the

conversation was directed to Sarthia, but when reference to the

stars was made, she instantly inquired, "Brother Hermo, do the

stars speak to you, and do you know what they say? Our lovely

Priestess here can read them, and how much I would love to speak

with them, too."
