"This is the one," said the general; and then, as the doctor stepped forward and poured the spoon full from the bottle, he ordered, "Open your mouth, Mr. Bagby." "This is tyranny," shrieked Joe, "and I won't do no such thing." He shut his mouth with a snap and set his jaws rigidly.
"He ain't ready, but we is, cap," answered one of the little group about the prisoner. "Up with him, then!" ordered Bagby. "See-saw 's the word: down goes Mercer, up goes a bloody-back." At the command, half a dozen men pulled on a rope which had been passed over the bough of a tree, and the young subaltern was swung clear of the ground.
"We'll call it twenty-two thousand," said McClave, "since Mr. Bagby persists. Will you give any more?" "One hunded more," said Hennion; and nobody offering above him, it was knocked down at that price. As the sale was declared completed, Bagby rose. "At least, I made you pay double for it," he growled spitefully to his competitor.
"More likes he's goin' a sparkin'," suggested one of the idlers. "The gal up ter the squire's holds herself pooty high an' mighty, but like as not she's as plaguey fond of bundling with a good-looking man on the sly as most wenches." "If she 's set on that, I'm her man," remarked Bagby. "Bundling?" questioned the covenant servant. "What 's that?"
The sight was enough to draw most of the villagers to doors or windows; but when the rumour spread like wild-fire that among those prisoners were Joseph Bagby and Philemon Hennion, every inhabitant who could, promptly collected about the troops, where, as the soldiers and officers paid no attention to their questions, they spent their time in surmises as to what it meant, and in listening to the Honourable Joseph's threats and fulminations against the military power.
As in the case of Bagby, he was delayed at Bayou Pierre, and, after hard work, only succeeded in crossing three guns and a part of his horse before the fleet came down on the 12th. Green attacked at once, and leading his men in his accustomed fearless way, was killed by a discharge of grape from one of the gunboats.
"And art thou so foolish, Janice," demanded her mother, "as to pretend that thou dost not care for him?" "Really it it would only be for you and dadda, and to save the property, mommy," persisted Janice. "Then why didst thou draw back from Lord Clowes and Bagby?" asked the mother, sternly.
Daniel shook his head and so did Randolph, but Bagby spoke up. "Her name is Henrietta Carden," he said, "and she's a seamstress. I've seen her coming to the hotel often before, bringing new clothes to the women guests, or taking away old ones to be repaired. I believe that the ladies account her most skillful.
In the Bulletin of the date mentioned James Casey read these words, apropos of the threat of one Bagby to shoot Casey on sight: It does not matter how bad a man Casey had been, or how much benefit it might be to the public to have him out of the way, we cannot accord to any one citizen the right to kill him, or even beat him, without justifiable provocation.
They went in, Thomaz not knowing what sort of place it was. Dr. Bagby, the first missionary of our board to Brazil, was conducting a service and soon began a sermon which impressed Thomaz very greatly. The sermon drew such a picture of his life that he accused the woman of having told Dr. Bagby about him. She had not done so, she declared, and this fact impressed Thomaz even more.
