A stormy scene followed, and St. John came out of it considerably frightened, especially when he was told that the colonel was Jack's father and that Dr. Mackey was proved to be a thorough villain. "I I won't ask for this arrest just now," he said, to the men he had brought along. "We will let the matter drop for the present. The man is too sick to be moved, anyway."
This is published in "Bacon's Essays." A careful study of Ovid, with the key which this chapter supplies, will reveal ALL that pertains to ancient gods, demi-gods, and heroes, while a study of Mackey, and a careful comparison with "La Clef" and "La Clef Hermetique" will reveal all that pertains to cosmic cycles and astral chronology, which is the only chronology that is quite trustworthy, as far as ancient history is concerned.
"I shall not wish a cent, sir." "Yet I shall insist, madam." "Are you wealthy?" asked Marion curiously. "Yes, Miss Ruthven or I will be as soon as I have proven my identity. As yet I have been able to do but little. Let me add, Mackey is not my real name." "What is your real name?" questioned Mrs. Ruthven.
Mr Gallatin Mackey exhibited his Arcula Mystica, one of seven similar instruments existing at Charleston, Rome, Berlin, Washington, Monte Video, Naples, and Calcutta. To all appearance it resembled a liqueur-stand, but it was really a diabolical telephone worked like the Urimm and Thummimm, and enabling those who possessed it to communicate with each other, whatever the intervening distance.
We happens to crash right into the middle of it, Vee and me, when we drops in for our usual Sunday afternoon call on the Ellinses and finds these week-end guests of theirs puttin' it up to Mr. and Mrs. Robert to tell 'em what they ought to do. Course, this Mrs. Mackey is an old friend of Mrs. Robert's and we'd seen 'em both out there before; in fact, we'd met 'em when she was Mrs.
"I do not believe he will be gone more than an hour or so." "Then I will wait." "Of course, Dr. Mackey. Will you come into the house?" The surgeon was willing, and the lady led the way. But presently she turned back to beckon to Old Ben. "Go after Jack at once," she said. "Tell him it is important, but do not say anything more to anybody." Ben nodded, and without further delay strode off.
A coroner's inquest was held, and Mr. R. Anderson, the coroner, brought in a verdict of death from fractured skull, occasioned by blows from an axe-handle, inflicted by John Mackey. The case was brought into court, but Mackey was rich, and his murdered victim was his SLAVE; after expending about $500 be walked free. "One Mrs.
Pake indicated to Garth that Ancose Mackey stood before him. "Where is the Bishop?" Garth demanded impatiently. Ancose blandly ignored the question for the present. "How-do-you-do, sir," he said, like a mechanical doll, at the same time politely extending his hand. Garth, shaking it hastily, repeated his question but the young man was not to be hurried over any of his self-pleasing formalities.
"Yes, they met some time ago, when the Yankees first came to this neighborhood." "Ah!" Dr. Mackey drew a long breath. "I wonder what Jack thought of the colonel?" "He likes the Yankee very much." "Humph! Well, there is no accounting for tastes." Dr. Mackey pulled himself together with an effort. "If you see this Colonel Stanton don't tell him about me, or repeat anything I have said, will you?"
Nothing but a good-sized church would hold 'em all. Which was where Bruce Mackey, usually a mild sort of party and kind of retirin', had come forward with the balky behavior. "What do you think?" says Mrs. Bruce. "He says he won't go near the church." "Eh?" demands Mr. Robert, turnin' to him. "What do you mean by that, Bruce?" Mr. Mackey shakes his head stubborn.
