In the early days of the twentieth century there was a bank robber in the West
called Black Bart. He was so successful that he threatened to bankrupt the
Wells-Fargo Company. The problem was solved when the company gave Black Bart a
pension on the condition that he retire and stay off the highways. But we
cannot forge such compromises in our own lives. If we deal with the devil we
will eventually discover the flaw in the deed.
