CONTENTS
[Chapter I—Peace in the Coso Valley]
Stacy’s dream is interpreted. Jim-Sam proves to be a problem. A guide that could howl like a coyote. “Mules, like some fellers, is contrary critters.” Sam’s whiskers are expressive. A peace that was rudely broken.
[Chapter II—On the Road to Trouble]
The Overlanders prepare for defense. Stacy’s weapon a tent stake. Emma Dean in the toils. The shot that stopped the roper. “Let ’em have it!” yells the guide. All because of the fat boy’s dream. The alarm.
