Squinty Du Bois Finds A Friend In Captain O'Dare

In Beau Px Gramp City a short messeng er named Alphonse "Squinty" Dubois endures mockery for his small height and crossed eyes. He befriends Captain Stephen O'Dare of the Foreign Legion, who accompanies him on telegram runs and helps him cope with taunts from pool hall regulars as he clings to a dream of adventure and dignity.

Squinty Dubois avoids a deadly night of Nick Morentz and delivers a telegram then quits his job. He deserts his post but later joins the Northwestern Mounted Police and endures harsh training in Morocco. In Marrakesh he rises to courage when faced with bandits, earning respect from Captain Lorraine and Said-el-Kanza before a final combat.
