Eli was not an enthusiastic hunter; indeed, as a usual thing, he had been pretty well satisfied to let Cuthbert do most of the shooting and fishing of the trip; but when it came to disposing of the cooked product while they sat around the camp fire, he was right in the game, for Eli's one weakness was his appetite, and he never seemed to have enough.
But the Eli's coaches who saw the game weren't fooled a little bit; only, as we hadn't played anything but the common or garden variety of football, they didn't get much to help them. We went back to Cambridge and began to learn the higher branches. We were coming fast now, so fast that Hecker got scary and laid half the team off for a day at a time.
But Eli had been looking around ever since they landed, and it was his settled conviction that the country in that section had all the color of a copper region. Copper was Eli's little god.
Well directed, this trait of unyielding determination is an excellent one. It is the foundation of success in life if the object sought is a worthy one. But in this instance Eli's objective was not alone the recovery of the silver fox skin, though this was the chief incentive.
"There'll be no use getting more ca'tridges and goin' back," Eli mused. "He's had a warnin' and he'll not bide in that camp another day. He'll flee the country." Then Eli's thoughts turned to his old father and mother. "The silver's gone, and it leaves Pop and Mother in a bad way," he mused. "They've been fondlin' that skin half the winter.
For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 14. And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever. 1 SAMUEL ill. 1-14.
How Under Eli's Government Of The Israelites Booz Married Ruth, From Whom Came Obed The Grandfather Of David. Now after the death of Samson, Eli the high priest was governor of the Israelites.
The old and the young are good companions for one another, and often understand each other better and help each other more than either does his contemporaries. Samuel mistook God's voice for Eli's, as we all often do. And not less often we make the converse blunder, and mistake Eli's voice for God's.
But Eli was like many another man who has enjoyed greater opportunities in the world than ever fell to Eli's lot. Once Eli had set himself upon a trail he never turned his back upon the object he sought or weakened in his determination to attain it. His object now was to overtake Indian Jake and have the matter out with the half-breed once and for all.
The two women were so taken by surprise, that they merely stared at him and at one another, and said, "The burgomaster!" in a tone so expressive, that Ghysbrecht felt compelled to answer it. "Yes! I own the last time I came here was not on a friendly errand. Men love their own interest Eli's and mine were contrary. Well, let this visit atone the last.
