At this point of the conversation Jeff Dukes, a man of medium size, dressed in dark-blue uniform, with a nickel-plated badge shaped like a shield and bearing the words “Marshal No. 2,” came directly towards them from a stone-cutter's shop near by. “Look heer, Bishop,” he said, dictatorially, “whar'd you git the right to talk to that man?” Alan looked surprised. “Am I breaking the law, too?” “You are, ef you hain't got a permit from the mayor in yore pocket.”
