His connexions with the King being so close, and his wiliness notorious, he had been arrested by Parliament and committed to the Tower as a spy; and it had cost the Scottish Commissioners some trouble Baillie for one, but especially Gillespie, who was related to Murray by marriage to procure his release on bail.
Something boyish and innocent told that the shades of the prison-house had never wholly closed about him. It was good to lift the hat to Dr. Gillespie as he went along hat a little tip-tilted off the broadly-furrowed brow. In the city he is very likely to stop and regard the most various wares children's dolls or ladies' underpinnings. But think not that the divine is interested in such things.
As if to show the futility of the plea that Sevier was powerless, a certain Captain Gillespie successfully protected a captive Indian from militia violence at this very time. He had come into the Indian country with one of the parties which intended to join Sevier, and while alone he captured a Cherokee.
Gillespie stood holding a bucket of milk in his hand; she sat gathering her shawl under her chin as if she were still coming through the suncleft shadows of the woods pasture. "Oh, David!" "What do you want me to do, Nancy?" "I don't know, I don't know. I haven't slept all night." "You mustn't give way like this. Don't you see any duty for you in this matter?" "Duty? Oh, David!"
He went on with his prayer that "sinners might be turned from their way, and saints confirmed in their most holy faith." But when he had opened his eyes, and beheld the white head and reverend countenance of Doctor Gillespie the human soul within him trembled a little. Nevertheless, commanding himself, he descended the narrow aisle till he came to where the minister was seated.
"And don't you make one of yourself, and then there won't be any." Redfield still hesitated. "I'd just like to had another pull at that horse-tail of his," he said wistfully. "Well, I knew old man Gillespie hadn't quite the strength. But I thought maybe Hughey Blake helped pull " "Hughey Blake," Redfield returned scornfully, "had nothing to do with it."
At first, Tim's efforts were unsuccessful, causing Captain Gillespie to snort with impatience at his delicate mode of treatment; but, the third or fourth dash of the cold water at last restored the poor fellow to consciousness, his eyelids quivering and then opening, while he drew a deep long breath like a sigh.
At daybreak Gillespie thought of rising, but he drowsed, and he was asleep when his daughter came to the foot of the ladder which climbed to his chamber in the cabin loft, and called to him that his breakfast was ready.
He traveled up the Sacramento and passed near the Shasta Buttes, and thence on to the Tlamath Lake. While encamped on the head of this collection of water, news came to the party that war had been declared between the United States and Mexico. This intelligence had been sent to Fremont through Lieutenant Gillespie, of the United States marines, who had with him six men as an escort.
The Gillespie brothers were far more deeply stirred, as was natural, but even Waldo contrived to keep a fair guard over his at times unruly member, speaking but little during that retreat. With each minute that elapsed Cooper Edgecombe gained in bodily powers, and while his mental strength was slower to respond, that proved to be a blessing rather than otherwise.
