When the new Confederate States, made an independent Power by English help, had begun their crusade to carry negro slavery from the Potomac to Cape Horn; who would then have remembered that England raised up this scourge to humanity not for the evil's sake, but because somebody had offered an insult to her flag?
"If you can show me an easier way to make a 'pony, I'll be obliged to you." "Scaife egged you on to this piece of folly?" "No, he didn't." "You may as well make a clean breast of it." Bit by bit John extracted the facts. Behind them, of course, stood Scaife, loving evil for evil's sake, planting evil, gleaning evil, deliberately setting about the devil's work.
Then, kissing the hands of Djalma, she added tenderly, "If the poison is slow, why do you weep?" "For you! for you!" said the Indian, in a heart-rending tone. "Think not of me," replied Adrienne, resolutely. "You have killed, and we must expiate the crime. I know not what has taken place; but I swear by our love that you did not do evil for evil's sake. There is some horrible mystery in all this."

Twice had the good overcome now it was the evil's turn, and like one hypnotized, he was led on. He sat his horse among them, pale and calm, but with a cruel instinct flashing in his eyes. At least, so Jud Carpenter interpreted the mood which lay upon him; but no one knew the secret workings of this man's heart, save God.
"Isn't the phrase rather bold," she asked, "where he speaks of 'blessed evil?" "Where is that?" some one asked.
