Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders on the Great American Desert
Produced by Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team.
Picking out the ponies for the desert journey. The Overland girls meet Hi Lang. Grace selects an outlaw pony. Don't reckon you'll be able to stick on him, warns the guide. Grace Harlowe flings herself into the saddle, braced for the shock.
Grace fights a stubborn battle with the vicious bronco. Look out! yells the guide. Wall, ef thet don't beat the Dutch! exclaims a cowboy. A fainting conqueror. Cowboys voice their admiration of the Overland girl, and Bud offers his services in the event of trouble.
Enthusiastic plainsmen give Grace a Mexican lasso. The start for the desert. A rousing good-bye that ends in disaster. Elfreda and Grace accomplish a difficult feat. Hang on! We'll stop him! The runaway bronco is thrown. They're caught!
Elfreda confesses to being all mussed up, and gives first aid to an injured cowboy. The lure of the desert. Welcomed at their first camp by Ping Wing. The Chinaman as a songbird. The Overland Eiders are aroused by cries and shots.
Ping uses a frying pan and a can of tomatoes as his weapons. Scooting for a mysterious foe. Put up your hands! I have you covered! Grace Harlowe exchanges shots with her adversary, then suddenly sinks out of sight.
Hi stalks an unseen enemy and wings him. The hole in the mountain. The hound! He hit her! I'll kill him for that! Grace, unconscious, is carried into camp. This is not a gunshot wound! Bullets are fired into the camp of the Overlanders.
Hi Lang shows his charges how to make a campfire on the desert. A water hole is found. Some one is trying to poison us! groans Hippy. The guide warns the campers against scorpions. Emma Dean wishes she had gone to the seashore.
Amid scenes of desolation. A party of horsemen coming this way! The Overland party prepares for trouble. Hippy is doused by a wild desert rider. Get off my desert! orders Lieutenant Wingate. The leader is kicked into a water hole. The battle at the water hole.
