Norman shook his head gravely.
“Do you mean that they won’t let him go?” demanded the boy.
“I don’t know anything about it,” Norman answered.
“Who told you to rope Ned into such a mess?”
“The man I work for.”
“What’s his name?” asked Jimmie then.
“His name is Toombs,” was the reply. “He hired me to come out on a hunting trip with him and help around the camp.”
