Gillespie turned with an effect of helplessness, and looked down at the wood-pile where he stood. "I don't know," he said, "what keeps me from spliting your head open with that ax." "I do," Dylks said. "Man!" the old man threatened, "Don't go too far." "It wasn't the fear of God which you pretend is in your heart, but the fear of man."
"And what did Paul the Apostle say? Did he own up that he was Paul?" Reverdy halted in his tale. "Look here, Squire! I don't feel just right, havun' you say such things. It sounds well, like profane swearun'." "Any worse than Dylks or Enraghty? You go right ahead, Abel. I'll take the responsibility before the law."
Dylks was expected to meet them from the concealment or the absence in which he had passed the days; the unbelievers said that he was hiding in fear and shame; the believers that he was preaching to the heathen in other neighborhoods, and would come in power and glory with a great multitude of the converted following him.
And I'm not trying Brother Dylks in open court at present. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt if he's ever brought before my judgment seat. But you've got to allow that his long hair and black broadcloth and his snort and shout are against him." "I don't believe in them any more than you do," she owned. "But don't you persecute him because he's religious, Matthew."
"Yes, I've sworn you in as special constable, or I will have as soon as I can make out the oath, and have you sign it. And Dylks will get out of the county as soon as he can he tells me it won't be so easy as we would think; and when he does, it will be much more to the purpose than riding on a rail in a coat of tar and feathers.
The idolatry was not yet open and scandalous, but since then he had heard his mother denouncing her as a worthless hussy with the other women who had worshiped Dylks in that frenzy at the Temple. He walked up and down, passing near where she stood with her father and Hughey Blake, and lost his breath at each approach and caught it again at each remove.
She left the girl standing dazed, and ran out and round the cabin. In the shadow that it cast in the moon, Dylks crouched close in the angle made by the chimney. "Oh, Nancy!" he implored her, "do give me something to eat! Something warm. Coffee, if you've got it. I've been sick, and I'm starving."
Dylks had told them that where they should see the heavenly light the brightest, there they should behold the beginning of the New Jerusalem; but they nowhere saw this light, though they walked the streets of the earthly city night and day.
He halted Abel in their walk, at a rise in the ground where they caught the sound of the hymn which the Little Flock, following Dylks for a certain way, were singing. "'Sounds weel at a distance, as the Scotchman said of the bagpipes. And the farther the better. I don't believe I should care if I never heard that tune again."
Dylks did not answer. "Why didn't you do it? Heigh?" "I thought maybe I didn't know but I did do it." "What do you mean?" "When I came up outside and told them that the miracle had been worked and the seamless raiment was inside the bolt, I thought it must be there." "Why, in the name of " "I had prayed so hard for help to do it that I thought it must be." "You prayed? To whom?" "To God."
