"I'll give her a good time, by Jingo! if I bust something," he muttered as he walked up and down the stable picking out his mounts. "But for a compound, double-opposed, self-adjusting jackass, I'm your choice. Lost my first chance. Threw it clean away and queered myself with her first shot. I say, Billy," he called, "come here." "What's up, Doc?" said Billy.

"Don't worry but what some day we'll get the best of Dan Baxter. That stolen stuff will never do him much good." The very next morning came word from the detectives. One of them called at the hotel. "I am afraid the case is queered," said he. "We tracked the rascal to Oakland, and now it looks as if he had given us the slip for good." "Can't you find any trace of him?" questioned Sam.

"What queered you, Charlie," he explained, importantly, "was that last break of yours, New Year's, when you didn't turn up for a week. It was once too often, and the chief's had it in for you ever since. You remember?" Channing screwed up his lips in an effort of recollection. "Yes, I remember," he answered, slowly.

They ain't the sort you want to train with, nohow." "We are not going to train with them," said Dave. "We thought they were pretty hard customers," added Phil. "They mentioned Abe Blower and one of them said he thought Blower had queered some sort of a land deal they were trying to put through," continued Roger. "Is that so! Well, if Abe did that I give him credit for it, I sure do.

They listened breathlessly when he told of the strange whisper that came so clearly to his ears, and when they reached the account of the poison they scarcely breathed. "Yon couldn't see the rats, could you?" Warren asked Ivan. "No!" said Ivan. "Well," said Warren, "it queered me so I thought I wouldn't say anything about it.

The old man in the house wrote me the only congratulatory letter I ever got from him in my life. He was so well pleased with what I had done that he didn't kick very hard even on the bill that I had slashed. But that next week oh, my! I didn't sell enough to buy honeysuckles for a humming bird. I began to think that maybe that Sunday bill had 'queered' me."

Being something of an opportunist, he decided to stop pondering over everything until he was in the presence of Mary, and then to guide himself by his reception. He hoped that the Judge had, as nearly as his capabilities permitted, lived up to the high standard of the Gollop form, or, as Jimmy himself might have expressed it, that the Judge "hadn't queered his pitch."

The fellow who has been handling thousands of dollars in college management and running twenty assistants the man who could have taken the place has no father to give him the boost necessary, and the other man's failure has queered his chances. He has to go to work as a mere clerk under a man excuse me, I don't want to do any knocking."

The Kogmollocks think Bram is a great Devil, and that each of his wolves is a Devil. If it hadn't been for that they would have murdered us in a hurry, and Blake would have taken the girl. They were queered by the way Bram would squat on his haunches, and stare at her. The second day I saw him mumbling over something, and looked sharp.

"These kids have queered us here. We'll be moving." As he started away he gave Charley such a savage look that it almost frightened Charley. It did worry and alarm him, for he could not help asking himself what he should do if he had to deal sternly with such a man. Even with Lew at his side, he felt fearful. Alone in the forest with such desperate-looking men, he knew that he would be helpless.
