KATE. A train robber!

JIM. Why, I don't say he done it.

KATE. But you think so.

JIM. [Laughing.] Oh, no, I don't—there's a ten thousand dollar reward for the right man.

KATE. Then why hand this letter to me? Why imply it?

JIM. Why, Kate, I'm a friend of—your pa's—I've known you ever since you was eight or ten years old. I don't know this man Travers—you don't know him. He comes to your house.

KATE. Well.

JIM. Comes to see you, don't he?

KATE. [Getting in front of anvil.] He does—what of it?
