☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains several Western stories. "The Ranger's Way" features a ranger who uses a trick to evade pursuers and is thanked by strangers he has helped. "The Texan" depicts a confrontation involving a Texas Ranger and a woman named Linda, with complications arising from Frank Burne's involvement in missing cattle and a roundup. The issue also includes stories featuring Mustang Jack and tales titled "Al Jennings—Frontiersman" and "The Arrow Trail," along with advertisements for merchandise including Musical Whirling Angel Chimes.
Wayne Haley chafes under Morgan Gault's guardianship and drifts toward the Lost Dollar Saloon, where a confrontation with the Utah Kid sets him on a darker path—one that begins with betrayal and leads him down the outlaw trail alongside a smooth-talking drifter named Cheyenne. As Wayne's choices spiral from cowardice to murder to bank robbery, he discovers that the skills his guardian tried to teach him may be the only thing keeping him alive when the law catches up.
Al Jennings was a man of many lives—train robber, politician, informer, and ultimately evangelist—and his most notorious moment came when his testimony about government oil lands at the Teapot Dome hearing made waves around President Harding's administration, though his statements would later prove false. After realizing the damage his deceptions had caused, Jennings reformed and dedicated himself to preaching that crime doesn't pay, speaking from hard-won experience. This is the story of how a former outlaw found redemption and became a voice warning others away from the criminal path.
Tim Rollins—wanted by the law but fighting crime as The Bold Buckeroo—takes on a dangerous case when rancher Ben Morton is bushwhacked by mysterious night raiders. Working undercover to infiltrate the rustlers' gang, The Bold Buckeroo uncovers a scheme far darker than simple cattle theft, one that threatens to destroy Morton and his daughter Helen. With cunning and quick draw, he must expose the real culprit before the law catches up with him first.
