Jimmy nodded seriously.
“Yes, I suppose a man would have to have quite an incentive.”
“He might start in on one and work his way up,” said a strange voice.
They turned quickly to see Tex Alden, who had come in so softly that they did not hear him. Perhaps they were too engrossed in their own conversation to hear him.
Tex smiled at Marion, but the look he gave Jimmy was anything but friendly.
“Hello Tex,” said Marion. “We didn’t hear you ride up.”
“Naturally.”
Marion ignored his sarcasm.
“Tex Alden, this is Mr. Legg,” she said.
“From the AK,” supplemented Jimmy.
