CONTENTS

Chapter I—Old Friends Get Together

Overlanders plan for their summer’s vacation in the saddle. Emma Dean “dotes on mysteries.” Hippy Wingate gets a hard blow. Stacy amazes his new friends by his dramatic entrance. Shots and yells startle the Overland Riders.

Chapter II—An Interrupted Sleep

The traveling salesman entertains his fellow passengers with tales of wrecks and hold-ups. Chunky makes the passengers laugh. Emma Dean has an attack of “nerves.” Sheriff Ford is suspicious. The “Red Limited” comes to a jolting stop. “Robbers!” screams a woman.

Chapter III—The Hold-up of the Red Limited

An ominous silence settles over the transcontinental express. The sheriff calls for volunteers to drive off the train bandits. Overland girls offer their services. The treasure car cut off. Stacy, in his pajamas, joins the defenders.

Chapter IV—In a Lively Skirmish

“Dynamite!” exclaims Sheriff Ford. Defenders give battle. Stacy Brown shoots and talks. Hippy goes on a desperate mission. Bandit guards are outwitted. Lieutenant Wingate caught in a tight place. “I know you!” yells the Overland Rider.

Chapter V—On the Trail of the Missing

Sheriff Ford starts a search for Lieutenant Wingate. A clue at last. “Captured by the bandits!” exclaims Tom Gray. Chunky helps himself to a plum pudding. “Suffering cats! You’re it!”

Chapter VI—Chunky Meets the Bandits

The fat boy stampedes the outlaws’ horses. “Oh, wow! I’ve lost my biscuit.” A pony that knew the way. “I suppose I emptied twelve saddles,” boasts Stacy. Shots arouse the sheriff’s camp. “Lie low, everybody!”
