Morris Longstreth is an adventure short story written in the early 20th century. Set in the world of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, it follows a young constable whose clash with old-school discipline and horse-bound tradition tests him, until a brush with smugglers forces him to prove his worth using modern sense, grit, and loyalty.

A brash recruit, Ed Kitt dislikes horses and boasts of motors, provoking a stern sergeant-major who prizes the old ways—and happens to be uncle to Rena, the bright, resourceful girl who secretly tutors Kitt in the police manual. When their lessons are discovered, Kitt is confined and Rena sent away, and the pair impulsively decide to elope in the Inspector’s car. Near the border at Coutts they stumble on the notorious Duff gang. Duty wins: Kitt disables the gang’s car, is overpowered, and nearly broken, until Rena returns with a borrowed revolver and a single shattering shot that turns the tide. They march the captured smugglers back at dawn. Facing censure, Kitt is unexpectedly shielded by the sergeant-major, who recognizes the bravery behind the breach of rules; Kitt earns his stripes and a reward, the Duff gang is finished, and the once-frozen disciplinarian shows his heart. The tale closes with Kitt and Rena married, their rebellion redeemed by service.
