"I have a number of private papers; also the marriage certificate which proves that I married Jack's mother. More than that, I expect soon to meet an old college chum who knows much of the past, and who can testify in my behalf." "Well, on my own account and on Jack's, I feel that I must make you prove your claim, Dr. Mackey.
Niggers don't count in this world." "I think you are a monster, Dr. Mackey!" exclaimed our hero, in horror. "To kill a negro is as much murder as to kill anyone else." "I won't discuss the subject. The question is, will you go along peacefully with me?" "I will not. You have no right to abduct me in this fashion." "I have a right to do as I please with my own son." "Again I say I am not your son.
This pious driver tried to convert the Doctor, but I am mortified to say that his efforts were not crowned with success, Fort Halleck is a mile from Elk, and here are some troops of the Ohio 11th regiment, under the command of Major Thomas L. Mackey.
Mackey entered into earnest conversation with Gendron, at the same time giving attention to the guerrilla's wound. "Very well, Pete," he said, at the conclusion. "Stick by me and I'll stick by you." "It's a whack," replied the wounded man. "If anybody from the house comes here, tell them that Jack went off to get some Confederate ambulance corps to take you away." "I will."
Principles, he called 'em. Couldn't get away from 'em. "But just think, Bruce," goes on Mrs. Mackey, "we haven't seen each other for ever so many years. I I wouldn't like it at all." "Hope you wouldn't," says Bruce. "But I see no other way. You ought to go to the church with him, and he ought to bring you home afterwards. He needn't stay for the reception unless he wants to.
"Wot fo' is yo' a prisoner yeah?" asked Columbus Washington, as he gazed at Jack's bonds curiously. "Dr. Mackey made me a prisoner." "What, dat man!" ejaculated Old Ben. "Yes, Ben; he had me taken from the stable, where I had gone to watch that guerrilla." "And where am de guerrilla?" "Dr. Mackey helped him to escape." The faithful old colored man shook his head doubtfully.
The surgeon continued to pace the floor of the cabin, and, watching his chance, Jack crawled to the edge of the loft opening. Just as Dr. Mackey swung around on his heel our hero gave a nimble leap and landed squarely on his shoulders, sending the surgeon to his knees. "Hi, what's this?" spluttered the rascal, and tried to throw Jack off. But our hero clung as fast as grim death.
Mackey caught our hero by the hand. "No doubt the news seems strange to you. Nevertheless, it is true." Jack hardly heard the latter words, for his head was in a swim. This crafty-looking, overbearing individual his parent? The shock was an awful one. He turned to his foster mother. "Mother, is this true is this man my real father?" he cried beseechingly. "So he claims," returned Mrs. Ruthven.
"I don't believe that fairy tale. To my mind, you sided with him because you were afraid he would expose you." "Boy, you are growing more bold. Don't you realize that you are in my power?" "Am I?" "Yes, you are absolutely in my power. And you have got to do as I wish, or you'll take the consequences." As Dr. Mackey spoke, he began to walk up and down the cabin nervously.
Four persons are cited as having been coadjutors in his own country his old friend Gallatin Mackey, in honourable memory among Masons; a Scotchman named Longfellow, whom some French writers have ludicrously confused with the poet; one Holbrook, about whom there are few particulars; and, finally, Phileas Walder, a native of Switzerland, originally a Lutheran Minister, afterwards said to have been a Mormon, but, in any case, at the period in question, a well-known spiritualist, an earnest student of occultism, as were also Holbrook and Longfellow, and, what is more to the purpose, a personal friend and disciple of the great French magus Éliphas Lévi.
