The two girls took Speed's trainer with them, and went forth in search of the young man.
"It's up to you fellows to see that he gets to bed early," said
Fresno, when he and Stover were alone.
"Leave it to us. And as for gettin' up, we turn out at daylight. I don't reckon he could sleep none after that if he tried." Stover pointed to the striped elastic coils of the exerciser against the wall. "I didn't want to speak about it while they was here," said he, "but one of them young ladies lost her garters."
"That's not a pair of garters, that's a chest-weight."
"Jest wait for what?"
"Chest-weight—chest-developer."
"Oh!" Stover examined the device curiously, "I thought a chest- developer came in a bottle."
Fresno explained the operation of the apparatus, at which the cow-man remarked, admiringly: "That young feller is all right, ain't he?"
"Think so?"
"Sure! Don't you?"
