"I shall aim not to disappoint him," replied Jimmie. "All the same, I ask you fellers straight: Has he come here to work?" "Meanin'?" "If this yere deadly disease is on the rampage I, for one, 'd like to know it." "Me too," drawled Dan. A silence followed as Jimmie coiled up his rope. Pete began to remove his boots.
