RIMROCK DOES IT HIMSELF "Now, let's talk reason," said Rimrock at last as he put away her hands. "Let's be reasonable--I don't know where I'm at. Say, where have I been and what have I been up to? Am I the same feller that blowed into town on the blind baggage, or is this all a part of the dream?" "It's a part of the dream," answered Mary with a sigh.
