Why do they not invade the Catholic provinces and preach their doctrine to godless princes, bishops, and doctors, as we have done by the help of God? These soft martyrs take no chances. They go where the Gospel has a hold, so that they may not endanger their lives.
"Oh, I guess nothing could happen, with Koku on guard." "No, hardly. I'm going to keep him in the ammunition room until after the test, too. I'm going to take no chances." "That's the ticket!" The gun was found all right, in its great tarpaulin cover, and Tom had the latter taken off that he might go over every bit of mechanism.
But he was awfully high and mighty, I can tell you. You won't make the thing go down with him. But who is likely to win it, you won't, of course, whatever your chances may have been in the beginning any one of your chums? Maggie Bradford or Bessie, or those?" "I don't know," answered Lena.
Bending forward he tucked his original five-dollar note into the toe of the despised footgear. "I am not going home broke," he explained laboriously to Pete; "as I certainly shall if I dare go upstairs again to find my hat." "Yo's sholly sens'ble," Pete approved. "But they ain't no reason why yo' sho'd tek enny mo' chances ef yo' don't wantuh," he added, knotting the laces.

Slone had never seen a trail as perilous as this.

Of a careless disposition and inclined to folly, I was convinced that until this time he had never stooped to commit a crime.
The chances of detecting desperate characters, or of tracing them to their haunts, were thus rendered very few, and their offences naturally increased in boldness, as the consciousness of comparative security became the more impressed upon them by daily experience.
The chances of life, and something probably of inner nature, had made Dorothy mild and obedient; whereas, in regard to Hugh, the circumstances of his life and disposition had made him obstinate and self-reliant. But in all was to be found the same belief in self, which amounted almost to conceit, the same warmth of affection, and the same love of justice.
They acted on this suggestion, but an examination there showed that nothing had been disturbed. No one had been in the place. "I'm going to sleep here to-night," said German scientist. "I'm not going to take chances at the last moment. I'll stay here." "So will I," decided Andy, and with his gun he mounted guard outside, while Mr. Roumann made up a bed in the projectile.
"Never happened to strike in that direction." "What decided your direction?" "Oh, looking for chances. I reckon I must have been more ambitious than my brothers or more restless. They stayed around on farms. But I got out. When I went back again six years afterward, I was twenty. They was talking about the same old things.
