THE BARON OF DIAMOND TAIL

The Elk Mountain Cattle Co. had not paid a dividend in years; so
Edgar Barrett, fresh from the navy, was sent West to see what was
wrong at the ranch. The tale of this tenderfoot outwitting the
buckaroos at their own play will sweep you into the action of
this salient western novel.

THE BONDBOY

Joe Newbolt, bound out by force of family conditions to work for
a number of years, is accused of murder and circumstances are
against him. His mouth is sealed; he cannot, as a gentleman,
utter the words that would clear him. A dramatic, romantic tale
of intense interest.

CLAIM NUMBER ONE

Dr. Warren Slavens drew claim number one, which entitled him to

It meant a fortune; but before he established his ownership he

When Jerry Lambert, "the Duke," attempts to safeguard the cattle

THE FLOCKMASTER OF POISON CREEK

country where fortunes were being made by the flock-masters.
Shepherding was not a peaceful pursuit in those bygone days.
Adventure met him at every turn--there is a girl of course--men
fight their best fights for a woman--it is an epic of the
sheeplands.

THE LAND OF LAST CHANCE

Jim Timberlake and Capt. David Scott waited with restless
thousands on the Oklahoma line for the signal to dash across the
border. How the city of Victory arose overnight on the plains,
how people savagely defended their claims against the "sooners;"
how good men and bad played politics, makes a strong story of
growth and American initiative.

TRAIL'S END

Ascalon was the end of the trail for thirsty cowboys who gave
vent to their pent-up feelings without restraint. Calvin Morgan
was not concerned with its wickedness until Seth Cra
