"And it is quite apparent that I didn't understand yours. You were speaking of the Spirit of God leaving you, and I said He was right here with you " "Now, ain't I a caution to saints!" broke in Miss Pipkin. "I did mix you up awful, didn't I? What I was asking you about was if you thought God would send back my Adoniah Phillips. He Why, Mr. McGowan, what's the matter now?"
"Adoniah was managing a country paper down the line then, and being short on help he took this tramp printer on. He gave him something to set up that the editor had writ, you couldn't tell one of the letters of that editor from t'other, hardly, and that feller had a time with it.
You sure it wa'n't what I told you about Adoniah being married?" "That had nothing to do with my decision." "Then, you mean we're going to get married?" "You ain't asked me yet."
He conducted the government in justice, righteousness, and integrity, and his people loved and feared him. In the fortieth year of his reign, while he was sitting upon his throne one day, surrounded by all the nobles, Adoniah the queen, who was seated before him, rose up, and spake: "What is this thing which you, the people of Ethiopia, have done these many days?
She heard Harold speak the name of Adoniah Phillips, and saw her father stagger from the table. Had these two things been a mere coincidence? Doubts began to rise. Why must the mortgage be foreclosed on Uncle Josiah's place? Why had her father acted so on the evening when Harold had spoken his client's name? Had her father told her all?
"There ain't much more to tell. Adoniah went to sea. I got a letter from him once from Australia. I wrote back saying I'd take back what I'd said. He answered it, but didn't say nothing about what I said to him. He spoke of meeting up with some one he knew, saying they was going in business together.
"She made me promise to say nothing to you. But I must. This thing is getting too interesting for me to keep my hands off any longer." "You mean she made you say that you'd not tell me that she was in love with Adoniah? That's funny, ain't it? Why, I knew " He broke off abruptly, a new light coming into his tired eyes.
His wife has taken up the search for the lost daughter. It was the name of the old trader's son-in-law that crumpled up Mr. Fox like an autumn leaf. The young trader's name was Adoniah Phillips." Though he had been anticipating this, the Captain fell back into his chair and stared blankly at the minister. "But why did he act like the devil toward you, Mack? That's what I want to know."
The seaman took the yellow bit of paper from his pocket, and in his excitement crumpled it into a wad. "But Adoniah went to Australia, and Jim says he was in Africa," he said, testing out the other's fund of information. "I know all about that story, but I don't believe one word of it. Mr. Fox did not make his money in Africa, and he knew your half-brother."
It was in Australia that you and Adoniah got in with that trader Rogers, Emmie's father, and you was getting rich trading in opals. Then, the both of you fell in love with Emmie, and Adoniah beat you out and married her. It wa'n't long after that when Adoniah took down with a fever. God, man! When I think what you done to him when he couldn't fight back, I could kill you!
