Read the opening
By Ray Humphreys
Author of “Crazy on Birds,” etc.
It was a bright, beautiful morning in Gunsight, but as far as Old “Pappy” Stewart, senior driver for the Q-B Stage Lines, was concerned the sun was not shining, the birds were not singing, and the alpine flowers were not blooming. Old Pappy, his hands thrust deep into his trouser pockets, stood morosely in the center of a little group of stage employees in the doorway of the big Q-B barn.
“High jinks to-day, Pappy!” said “Rabbit” Tarvin.
“Yuh kin do it, Grandpop!” exclaimed “Pud” Johnson.
“Got yuhr goggles, Pappy?” asked Joe McMeel.
