The ghastly, callous fiendishness that lured an old, half-witted man to his death had Jimmie Dale in that grip of cold, merciless anger again, and there was a dull flush now upon his cheeks. Whatever it meant, whatever was behind it, one thing at least was certain HE WOULD GET CONNIE MYERS! He was close to the Sanctuary now it was down the next cross street.
He spoke through his teeth with the most insulting venom of contempt and gazing straight into the mirror. "Ah! So you had some gold on you you old liar you old birba you furfante! But you are not done with me yet." The fiendishness of his expression vanished like lightning, and he lounged out of the cafe with a moody, impassive face.
Passages from the speeches and writings of Bebel, Liebknecht and others were quoted to show the fiendishness of Russian policy, and the justice of every German doing his utmost to smash Czarism and deliver millions of fellow workmen from its thrall. Even a blood-and-thunder story of the Russian police was turned on as a serial story in their daily papers.
Many damnable tools have been invented during these twenty centuries. The rack, the thumbscrew, the tomahawk, the fagot belong among these devilish instruments. Cruelties so terrible have been devised that old scholars often felt unwilling to believe that men were so low in the scale as to have been the authors of these methods of fiendishness.
Once his violent temper led him to the commission of an atrocious crime, the fatal stabbing of a dwarf. The sentence was executed in a bungling fashion by a stupid fellow armed with an axe, and I, being a surgeon, was compelled, in order to save Neranya's life, to perform an amputation of the stump, leaving not a vestige of the limb remaining. After this he developed an augmented fiendishness.
"You mean to say you know that cavalryman to be Charlie Bent?" he fairly gasped. "Of course it's Charlie. I never missed a face in all my life. That's his own," I replied. "The worst Indian on the plains!" the captain declared. "He stirs up more fiendishness than a whole regiment of thoroughbred Cheyennes could ever think of. He's led in every killing here since March." "Not Colonel Bent's son!"
Consequently sympathy was impossible; and if the unfortunate lady did not perish, it was because, as I now comfort myself with guessing, she was too much pre-occupied with her own pains, and possibly making too much noise herself, to be conscious of the pandemonium downstairs. A great deal of the fiendishness of schoolboys and the cruelty of children to their elders is produced just in this way.
The men had finished handling the giant and turned him over to the women. That they exceeded the fiendishness of the men, the man's cries attested. Subienkow looked on, and shuddered. He was not afraid to die. He had carried his life too long in his hands, on that weary trail from Warsaw to Nulato, to shudder at mere dying. But he objected to the torture. It offended his soul.
To add to the fiendishness of their cruel savagery was the poignant memory of still crueler barbarities practiced upon them and theirs by the white officers of that arch hypocrite, Leopold II of Belgium, because of whose atrocities they had fled the Congo Free State a pitiful remnant of what once had been a mighty tribe.
Between this and the safety of the prairies stood fewer than a hundred and fifty men, against a thousand warriors, led by cunning half-breeds skilled in the white man's language and the red man's fiendishness. If we should lose We did not go out there to lose. When each man does a man's part there is no failure possible at last.
