"The Color of His Boots" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous short story likely written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1910s. This work can be classified as fiction, weaving elements of adventure and comedy. The narrative follows the misadventures of two characters, Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins, as they deal with the chaotic aftermath of a train ride incident involving a pair of yeller boots and a mistaken baby. The story unfolds as Magpie buys a new pair of boots which subsequently leads to an uproar when, through a series of comedic mishaps, they accidentally exchange the boots for a baby on a train. As they find themselves in the Bad Lands, the duo faces a series of humorous challenges, including wild cow interactions and narrow escapes from a posse seeking a kidnapper. Their antics culminate in a realization that the baby they carry, named Georgie, has a connection to the porter who ruined Magpie's prized boots. The story cleverly showcases themes of friendship, responsibility, and the absurdity of their predicament, leaving readers with laughter and a light-hearted commentary on the chaos that ensues from everyday follies.
