“I want to say thank you, sir, for such a day as this. I’m only a poor man, but I can say this much, Johnny Blossom can do many a good turn”— While sleeps the scene beneath the purple glow: “Yes, I think so. Reg’lar bandits—about fifty of ’em.” “I think we’d better go back to camp. The shooting over there sounds as if our part of the job is over. Think so?”.
