He might have no soul, but a lifetime of being an overseer had given him habits that replaced the need for what had been a pretty slim soul to begin with. "Quitters!" he yelled. "Lazy, worthless, work-dodging goldbrick artists!" He knelt in fury, thumbing back the eyelids of the corpses. There was little need for the test. They were too limp, too waxen to be pretending.

No, miss. This country has made up its mind that your friend is the original Ned Bannister. My opinion is that nothing on earth can save him." "I don't want your opinion. I'm going to save him, I tell you; and you are going to help. Are his friends nothing but a bunch of quitters?" she cried, with sparkling eyes. "I didn't know I was such a great friend of his," answered the cowboy sulkily.

He murdered Allan Mowbray to keep this gold to himself. Well, this gold ain't his, any more than it's mine. It's for those who got the grit to take it. If he's looking for fight he's going to get it plenty maybe more than he's needing. We're taking no chances. We're right here to fight if need be. We're here to stop. We're no quitters.

"Well, I'm not so stuck on quitters either," Tom said. "What's the good of my going? I'm not getting anything out of it." "Neither am I," said Tom. "You got stung when you made a prophecy about me, didn't you?" Hervey said with cutting unkindness. "You and I both fell down, hey? We're punk scouts we should bother our heads." Again he began twirling his hat on the stick.

"They're a pair of quitters!" said Len Scott, in disgust, after one occasion of this kind. "What do you want to bother with 'em for, Mort?" "That's what I say," added Clarence Boyle. "Oh, well, I may have my reasons," returned Mortimer, loftily. "Dunk would be a good sort if he wasn't tied fast to Andy. I can't get along with him, though." "Me either," added Len. "He's too goody-goody."

We've just got to do it, or be quitters. As Phil Khamis said at Morning Watch yesterday, 'Everything we have has come to us by the goodness of Christian people. We aren't willing to be the last links of that chain.

Instead of living on and doing their work, they leave us when they ought to begin to repay us for what we have done for them. They are quitters. Suppose Andrew Carnegie had died at the time he sold out his steel business.

The spectators were mostly Irishmen, and it offended them to see what should have been a spirited fight so grossly bungled. "G'wan away home, ye quitters!" roared one. A second member of the audience alluded to them as "stiffs." It was evident that the besieging army was beginning to grow a little unpopular. More action was needed if they were to retain the esteem of Broster Street.

Tom asked in his usual sober but pleasant way. Hervey Willetts was about to fly off the handle but something in Tom's quiet, keen glance deterred him. "You fellows going home soon?" "Tuesday morning," volunteered the Panthers' patrol leader. "We usually don't stick to the finish. We're a troop of quitters, you know." "What did you quit?" asked Tom, taking his informant literally.

What we need right here in Durford is a few full grown men who aren't shirks or quitters, who can put up prayers with one hand while they put down the cash with the other; and I don't believe the Lord ever laid it up against any man who paid first, and prayed afterwards. "Now brethren, don't all speak at once. I'm goin' to start takin' subscriptions. Who's goin' to head the list?"
