“Certainly.”
“They’ve got plenty of help at the Double Bar 8,” said Barnhardt, after a pause. “That tenderfoot, Jimmy Legg, who was at the AK ranch, has volunteered his services. Tex sure is sore at him.”
“Sore at Legg? What for?”
“Well, Tex thinks Marion pays too much attention to Legg.”
“Well, does she?”
“I don’t know, Chet. She calls him Jimmy, and he calls her Marion.”
“Does, eh? Say, Lee, where did that fellow come from?”
“Nobody seems to know. He tramped in here the night of the hold-up. He said the train passed him. I can’t quite figure him out. I’ve talked with Scotty Olson and Al Porter about him, and they’re not quite sure what he is. He’s not a bad looking fellow, and I think he has a way with women.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, you know, Chet; sort of a way of talking.”
