"Still, I will see that they are not left long to carry on their work of deviltry." "I am with you heart and soul." "I know that well, pard. But they will return the girl for the ransom demanded, and then they will get the amount they claim for the young man they spoke of." "Yes." "This will take some days, and in that time I shall act." "You?"
Deviltry is lookin' fer them an' when they git together thar's trouble." Solomon stopped, now and then, to peer off into the bush as he talked while the dusk was falling. Suddenly he put his finger to his lips. His keen eyes had detected a movement in the shadowy trail. "Hide an' horns o' the devil!" he exclaimed in a low tone. "This 'ere may be suthin' neevarious.
Besides, how nobly he had spoken of Bernal. Then she wondered why it should seem noble, for Nancy would be always a creature to wonder where another would accept. She saw it had seemed noble because Bernal must have been up to some deviltry. This phrase would not be Nancy's only she knew it to be the way her uncle, for example, would translate Allan's praise of his brother.
Johnson plied knife and fork assiduously, with eyes downcast and demure. Stanley Mitchell's smooth young face lined with suspicion. "When you've been up to some deviltry I can always tell it on you you look so incredibly meek and meechin', like a cat eatin' the canary," he remarked severely. "Thank you for a biscuit. And the sugar! Now what warlockry is this?"
The smile died away, and an angry red tinged Jimmie Dale's cheeks he was picturing again that scene in Klanner's room, the bestial deviltry of that deformed and hideous creature who, to cover up his own guilt, was railroading an innocent man to death. "Unto Caesar!" yes, there was grim justice here but that was not enough!

The atmosphere was electric. James spoke quickly, to bridge any embarrassment. "This is a dreadful thing about Uncle James. I've never been so shocked before in my life. The crime was absolutely fiendish." Kirby nodded. "Or else the deed of some insane person. Men in their right senses don't do such things." "No," agreed James. "Murder's one thing. Such coldblooded deviltry is quite another.
She could understand now the spirit of deviltry in a chauffeur who knows his business. It seemed a wicked, cruel thing from the ground this swift plunge of a car as if bent on murder. But now that she felt the sure, velvet grip of the brake in a master's hand, she saw that the danger was largely a myth.
Next in deviltry were the Kiowas, and then the Arapahoes and Comanches. Some few of these last two tribes continued friendly, or at least took no active part in the raiding, but nearly all the young men of both were the constant allies of the Cheyennes and Kiowas. All four tribes together could put on the war-path a formidable force of about 6,000 warriors.
"I should like to know what deviltry is in your minds now. Am I never to have peace?" "Peace and tragedy do not often run together," came in the mild tones of his would-be friend.
