Summary
This Western short story is set in Piperock, Montana, where Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins receive an odd visitor named Reginald Alfred Jackson Hilton. Reginald says he has come West to make a man of himself and to stay with them, while Magpie and Ike react with suspicion and mockery at his clothes, manners, and lack of practical sense. The story centers on their efforts to size him up and decide whether he can become a true “wonder.”
