His little "pardner," as he calls the boy he has never seen, writer requesting him to furnish a buckskin shirt "like Buffalo Bill wore," so that he may play Injuns. Sandy makes the shirt with his own hands and boards the stagecoach, refusing to entrust the precious parcel to the driver. Road agents hold up the stage, and in a desperate fight Sandy is wounded. The lead horses, cut loose by Sandy, serve to bring up the sheriff and his posse, who capture the surviving outlaws. Grateful passengers press money on their savior, but he tells them that he fought to save the shirt, and refuses all gifts except "a watch for the kid." The watch and the buckskin shirt arrive in time for Christmas, and the kid writes his big pard: "I wouldn't let mother wash the bloodstains or mend the bullet holes in the shirt. It has another stain when I cut my thumb trying to open the insides of the watch. Somehow that watch don't run well no more." Whistling Sandy, reading this incoherent note as he sits alone in his cabin, with his fighting arm in a sling, is not puzzled by it. He understands the heart of the boy, and smiles wistfully across space to his little pard. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
