Summary
This western short story follows Old Pappy Stewart, the longtime stage driver for the Q-B Stage Lines, as he is pushed to leave his six-mule team and learn to drive a new motor bus between Gunsight and Central City. He resents the change, worries about his mules, and endures teasing from coworkers while the road and his driving lessons are adjusted to the new vehicle. The story centers on his stubborn loyalty, his reputation for reliability, and the uneasy shift from mule stages to motor buses.
