Please believe that you are welcome here at any time." Pearson's reply was brief. "Thank you, Miss Warren," he said. "You are very kind. Good evening." In the hall, as they waited for the elevator, Captain Elisha, happier than at any time since his arrival in New York, clapped his friend on the shoulder. "Jim," he said, "I was beginnin' to doubt my judgment of things and folks. Now I feel better.

Under the dangers which now threaten us, I have appointed John Whipple, John Brown Francis, and Elisha R. Potter, esqs., three of our most distinguished citizens, to proceed to Washington and consult with you in behalf of this State, with a view that such precautionary measures may be taken by the Government of the United States as may afford us that protection which the Constitution of the United States requires.

Here is a friend upon whom they can rely in their hour of trouble, as the bereaved mother did on Elisha.

Much obliged for the dinner there I go again! luncheon, I mean." Pearson called. He appeared at the apartment a week after the luncheon at the boarding house and was welcomed by the Captain Elisha, who, hearing his voice, strode into the hall, sent the shocked Edwards to the right-about in a hurry, seized his friend's hand, and ushered him into the library.

On one of these pilgrimages it was that the prophetical spirit first descended upon Jonah. When the prophet Jonah, doing the behest of his master Elisha, anointed Jehu king over Israel, he poured the oil out of a pitcher, not out of a horn, to indicate that the dynasty of Jehu would not occupy the throne long.

This is comfortable enough, and there won't be nobody but him and me here, either and I'll be more sartin of it." The landlady, who considered herself snubbed, flounced away. Captain Elisha stepped to the head of the stairs.

When the ruler of Israel heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes; and as he was passing by on the wall, the people looked and saw that he wore sackcloth next to his skin. Now Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders beside him; and while he was still talking with them, the ruler of Israel came down to him and said, "See, this is the evil that comes from Jehovah!

No one else would perhaps have been so proud of it, but he himself ever seemed to regard it with veneration. He called himself Anthony Elisha Simson; and never failed to make you observe that his patronymic was spelt without a "p". Nothing irritated him so much as to receive a note addressed, "A. E.

He sent Elisha the distance, driving him hard from the half-mile pole to the wire, and the Bald-faced Kid's astounded comments furnished a profane obbligato. "Take a look at that!" said he, thrusting the watch under Old Man Curry's nose. "Pretty close to the track record for a mile, ain't it? And every clocker on the track got him too!
