"Yes, there is your friend, the Englishman," said Belknap rather bitterly. "I meet him everywhere," I answered. "The thing is simply uncanny. What is he doing out here?" "We are taking him out to Laramie with us. He has letters to Colonel Meriwether, it seems. Cowles, what do you know about that man?" "Nothing," said I, "except that he purports to come from the English Army."
Orme, half rising from his stooping posture, but with the fingers of his left hand still at the wound, said: "Belknap, let go one of his hands. Just put your hand on this knife-blade, and feel that artery throb! Isn't it curious?" I heard some muttered answer, but the grasp at my wrists did not relax. "Oh, it's all right now," calmly went on Orme, again stooping.
I explained to him the changes of my plans which had been brought about by the accident to the River Belle. "Lieutenant Belknap tells me that you are going through to Laramie with him," I added. "As it chances, we have the same errand it is my purpose also to call on Colonel Meriwether there, in case we do not meet him coming down." "How extraordinary!
Birth of S.F.B. Morse. His parents. Letters of Dr. Belknap and Rev. Mr. Wells. Phillips, Andover. First letter. Letter from his father. Religious letter from Morse to his brothers. Letters from the mother to her sons. Morse enters Yale. His journey there. Difficulty in keeping up with his class. Letter of warning from his mother. Letters of Jedediah Morse to Bishop of London and Lindley Murray.
We're due t' hit the grit out uh here in the first beams uh rosy morn, and do a record stunt at gathering cattle." "Well, we were going to, anyhow," Rowdy cut in. "But that's only the prelude, old-timer. We've got t' take 'em across country to the Belknap reservation. Eagle Creek went t' town and telegraphed, and got the refusal of it for pasturage; he ain't so slow, oncet he gets started.
But if you've ever rode over them dried-up benches, you savvy the merry party we'll be when we git there. I've saw jack-rabbits packing their lunch along over there." "Belknap" Rowdy dropped his saddle spitefully to the ground "is where our friend Conroy has just gone to fill a splendid position." Pink thoughtfully blew the ashes from his cigarette. "Harry Conroy would fill one position fine.
Quicker than even Aunt Mary, whose faith in kind words was very strong, had expected, John came in with the hammer, a bright glow on his cheeks and a sparkle in his eyes that strongly contrasted with the utter want of interest displayed in his manner a little while before. "Thank you, my son," said Mr. Belknap, as he took the hammer; "I could not have asked a prompter service."
After while, say a few minutes, medicine man pulls off the blanket and thar gets up the boy, good as new, his head growed on good and tight as ever, and not a sign of an arrer on him 'cept the scars where the wounds has plumb healed up!" Belknap laughed long and hard at this old trapper's yarn, and weak as I was myself, I was disposed to join him.
I did return about October 15th, saw President Grant, who said nothing had been done in the premises, but that he would bring General Belknap and me together and settle this matter. Matters went along pretty much as usual till the month of August, 1871, when I dined at the Arlington with Admiral Alder and General Belknap.
As the minutes passed, however, it became a certainty with North that no miracle would happen. Belknap concluded his plea shortly before six o'clock. And this was the end, this was the last move in the game where his life was the stake! In spite of his exhaustion of mind and body North had followed the speech with the closest attention.
