Mrs. Shaw's husband's telegram was typical of the support the women got. "Don't be quitters," he wired, "I have competent nurses to look after the children." Mr. Shaw is a Harvard graduate and a successful manufacturer in Manchester, New Hampshire. Telegrams of protest from all over the country poured in upon all the Boston officials who had had any point of contact with the militants.
It was a wry dose and they swallowed it with a gulp, but it braced them to new endeavor, and deep down in their hearts was forming a resolution that boded ill for the scrubs, who had been gloating while the 'Varsity "got theirs." "Now," the coach concluded, "I'd about made up my mind to fire half this gang of quitters back into the scrubs, but I'm going to give you one more chance. Do you get me?
The girl stopped short to draw off her glove and offer him her strong white hand. "I'm Carmena Farley. I don't like rattlers, coyotes, or quitters." "I may prove to be a quitter, Miss Farley, but I'd like at least to be entered for the game." The dark-eyed daughter of Arizona looked at him searchingly. "You will be risking the highest of all stakes your life," she warned. Lennon smiled.
She couldn't make out what had happened, whether they'd got rash and gone on the rug too soon, or had been run over by a truck while crossin' the street. Fin'ly she comes across one of the quitters one afternoon as I'm towin' her down Fifth-ave. on her way home from somewhere, and she puts me up to give him the quiz. "There, Shorty!" says she, stoppin' sudden.
" Fools, and quitters, too," he supplemented, levelly. "Quitters and men who show a streak of yellow that doesn't assay even a little bit of pure gold. A minute ago I gave you one reason for my attempt to keep you here. But I made a bad mistake there, too. It's men I need!" He couldn't have straightened the other any more quickly had he swung and slapped his face.
They were having their first taste of High School sports, which made no allowance for quitters. Twenty minutes later a low hurrah went up from the freshmen hounds. Dawson, of the hares, found the pace too swift for him. With a slight pain in his side he lagged so that one of the hounds put on an extra spurt, then wound his arms around the sophomore.
"I've just this much more to say, Jim, and that is that if the Reclamation Service idea fails, it's more the fault of you engineers than of anyone else. The sort of thing you engineers do on the dam is typical of the Anglo-American in the whole country. You are quitters!" "Pen, don't you say that again!" exclaimed Jim, sharply. "I'm doing all I can!"
I know a few specimens who make a profession of pleading that. They're quitters and they assay a streak of yellow that isn't pay dirt!" His voice dropped in register. It just missed being hoarse. With a rapidity that was almost bewildering he began to give orders to the two boys who were still phlegmatically waxing the floor. And the English-professor intonation was gone entirely.
Lawrence Graves, his face as expressionless as a doormat, came up and batted a weak one into the diamond, being thrown out with ease. The sixth inning ended, with the score tied. Hedge returned to the pitcher's slab. "We're going to trim you to-day, Spark," asserted Walter Shackleton, as he crouched froglike behind the bat. "There are no quitters on the team now."
So you perceive, Weir, that when my associates and I get into a row we're not quitters either. We shall therefore just dismiss all talk of your resignation." "Very good; I wanted you to know the facts." Pollock paced to and fro for a time longer. "What really interests me is your own fight," he remarked at length.
