After the murder of Abel, Cain was sent back to the Erez, where he was frightened into repentance by its darkness and by the flames of the ever-turning sword. Accepting his penitence, God permitted him to ascend to the third earth, the Arka, which receives some light from the sun. The Arka was surrendered to the Cainites forever, as their perpetual domain.
Do you remember he used to say life was always ready to teach us things, but that some of us were so mortal slow we never learned till we died?" Her eyes were starry as she looked away from him over the meadow. "Abel, I miss him so," she said after a minute. "I know, Molly, I know." "Nothing makes up for him. All the rest seems so distant and unhuman.
The old parliament of France have generally admitted the power of these sorcerers. In 1582 the Parliament of Paris condemned one Abel de la Rue to be hung and afterwards burnt for having wickedly and wilfully point-tied Jean Moreau de Contommiers.
Jest helpin' Sally put the turkey-chicks to bed out o' the cold, or I'd 'a' been round at the first splashin' in the road." "And now come in," the Squire said, reaching a hand of welcome from the edge of the porch to the stranger as he mounted the steps. "Old neighbors of ours," he explained Abel and the unseen Sally.
"Abel, if you don't stop mopin' out thar an' come along in, I'll clear off the dishes!" called his mother again in her rasping voice which sounded as if she were choking in a perpetual spasm of moral indignation.
'Yes, said Uncle Abel in a harsh undertone; 'and you, I suppose, are my niece? 'Yes. Can I take your overcoat or your umbrella? asked Gladys; 'and would you like some tea? I can ask Miss Peck to get it. I have not had any myself now I come to think of it. 'I'll take off my coat. Yes, you can take it away, but don't order tea yet.
The long, narrow, mountainous islands upon which Abel Jansen Tasman stumbled in December, 1642, are so far from being the antipodes of Britain that they lie on an average twelve degrees nearer the equator. Take Liverpool as a central city of the United Kingdom; it lies nearly on the 53rd parallel of north latitude.
New Hampshire is in more than one sense the Switzerland of New England. The "Granite State" being naturally enough deficient in pudding-stone, its children are apt to wander southward in search of that deposit, in the unpetrified condition. Abel Stebbins was a good specimen of that extraordinary hybrid or mule between democracy and chrysocracy, a native-born New-England serving-man.
"I'll know as soon as you tell me," Bryce hinted. It is a difficult matter for a man, who all his life has held a close secret, to divulge it at a moment's notice, in a sudden fit of warm friendliness, to a comparative stranger, and so Abel Cumshaw found it. It is even harder to surrender one's hopes and ambitions in favor of a potential rival, honest and all as that rival may appear to be.
"I oh, I was turned out," answered the young man, with his eyes on the negro. "But bless my soul, Big Abel, why did you do it?" Big Abel muttered something beneath his breath, and went on laying out the things. "How you gwine git dese yer close ef I ain' tote 'em 'long de road?" he asked presently.
