The chances are all against the fight's having taken place or this Hade's having been arrested." "But if we're beaten on it " suggested the chief. "But I don't think that is possible. If there were any story to print, Dwyer would have had it here before now." The managing editor looked steadily down at the floor. "Very well," he said, slowly, "we won't wait any longer.
But the fight's over by this time leastwise, it'll be over long afore we could git there! and if it's not to be a fight at all, why nobody's none the worse, d'ye see?" "But maybe they may hold the place for a long time," argued March, "an' the sudden appearance of you and me might turn the scale in their favour." "So it might so it might.
"Shooting or cutting a fellow down in fair fight's one thing; taking prisoners and hanging on 'em arterwards, quite another pair o' shoes. I says as the skipper's right." "Hear, hear!" rose in chorus, and it seemed to be pretty generally agreed that we should be very glad to get rid of the savage brutes.

"That'd be a thousand and fifty you had given me, wouldn't it?" returned Lindsay gayly. Tears of vexation stood in Bromfield's eyes. "All right. Let me go. I'll be fair to Whitford and arrange a deal with him." "Get the stockholders who're with you on the 'phone and tell 'em to vote their stock as Whitford thinks best. Get Whitford and tell him the fight's off." "If I do, will you let me go?"
Have you ever pictured the fight that's going on in the human blood all the time the tiny warriors struggling constantly, one kind to kill and the other to keep alive? The same sort of fight's going on in our natures, too. Every one of us is born with a whole lot of good things; they're our heritage and it's our own fault when we don't keep 'em.
The first phenomenon might perhaps be explained, they agreed, on the hypothesis that the mishap to his brother coming at the very moment of the fight's beginning, unnerved Jess and threw him out of stride, so to speak. But the second was not in anywise to be explained excepting on the theory of sheer chance. The fact remained that it was so, and the fact remained that it was strange.
However, it's not our rule in the dale to say all we feel." "It's not Bell's, for example. How is the coal campaign getting on?"

But I don't know if the fight's over.
"Well, when one is young, I expect it's hard to stand off while a fight's going on. All the same, it's strange you didn't sympathize with the fellow who was corraled. That's youth's natural instinct, although I allow it's not often justified." "The trooper was corraled. He'd put down his rifle and Shillito had a gun; I reckon it was the sharp butt of a heavy automatic that cut my head.
It's all over an' everybody's friends. Shake an' make up. The drinks are on both of you. That's right here, gimme your hand an' I'll pull you out." They left them shaking hands and brushing each other's clothes. "It soon will be over," Billy grinned to Saxon. "I know 'em. Fight's fun with them. An' this big scrap's made the days howlin' success. What did I tell you! look over at that table there."
