"Glad to make your acquaintance," said Gowdy; "and may I crave the acquaintance of our young Argonaut here?" "Let me present Mr. " said Doctor Bliven, "Mr. Mr. "Vandemark," said I. "Let me present Mr. Vandemark," said the doctor, "a very obliging young man to whom I am already under many obligations, many obligations."
I went to Magnus's cabin that night to sleep, leaving Mrs. Bliven with Rowena. I hoped I might not have to see Rowena before she went away; for the very thought of seeing the girl with the child embarrassed me; but on the third day the widow they afterward moved on to the Fort Dodge country came to me, and standing afar off as if I was infected with something malignant, told me that Mrs.
In one of these classes Monterey County, and even Vandemark Township, took its place. Buckner Gowdy and Doctor Bliven, the little girl who fainted away on the wooden bench in the night, and the yellow-haired woman who stole a ride with me across the Dubuque ferry had their part in the building up of our great community and others worked with them, some for the good and some for the bad.
And there was a vibration in his low voice which always seemed to mean that he felt much more than he said. "My name's Gowdy," he said; "all you people going west for your health?" "I," said the black-bearded man, "am Doctor Bliven; and I'm going west, I'm going west, not only for my health, but for that of the community."
Doctor Bliven prescribed wine, and the only wine in the neighborhood was in the cellar of Governor Wade; so, even though the families were very much at the outs, owing to the fuss about Bob and Kittie going together, Mrs. Fleming went over to the Wades' to get some wine for her sick boy. "We can't allow you to have it," said the governor, with his jaws set a little closer than usual.
In the course of the evening Doc Bliven started in making fun of me as a justice of the peace. "I helped a little to elect you, Jake," said he, "but I'll bet you couldn't make out a mittimus if you had to send a criminal to jail to-night." "I won't bet," I said, "I know I couldn't!"
I asked myself what had become of the man who had made the attack on Bliven as he stood in line for his mail at the Dubuque post-office away back there in 1855. "Don't forget my certificate, Jake," said Mrs. Bliven, as they sat down; and I had to write it out and give it to her. "And remember the report of it to the county clerk," said Henderson L. Burns, who held that office himself.
"I expect to open a drug store and begin the practise of medicine," said the doctor, "at the thriving town of Monterey Centre." "I've got some land in Monterey County," said I; "but I don't know where in the county it is." Doctor Bliven started; and Buckner Gowdy shook my hand again, and then the doctor's. "A sort of previous neighborhood reunion," said he.
The village had had a narrower escape from the rain of ashes and sparks which had swept to the very edges of the little cluster of dwellings. I rode to Doctor Bliven's drug store, climbed the outside stairway which led to his living-room above, and knocked. Mrs. Bliven came to the door. I explained that I wanted the doctor at once to come out to my farm. "He's not here," said she.
I started up once to walk home, but I thought that Judge Stone was paying me wages for guarding the county's money, and turned to go back where I could watch the games, lured by a sort of fascination to see how many times Virginia would allow herself to be kissed. A woman came out of the house, and in passing saw and recognized me. It was Mrs. Bliven. She dropped down on the bench.
