Cows is Cows
In the dusty reaches of Yellow Rock County, cattle are vanishing faster than Sheriff Magpie Simpkins can roll a smoke, and the local ranchers have run out of patience. When a hired detective arrives to hunt the rustlers and a tall, sermonizing stranger calling himself a 'Bringer of Light' wanders into town, the trouble multiplies in unexpected ways. Narrated in the salty drawl of emergency deputy Ike Harper, this classic frontier yarn from W. C. Tuttle blends tall-tale humor, mistaken identity, and the rough justice of the open range. A short, comic Western from the golden age of pulp adventure.
A Whizzer on Willer Creek
In the rough-edged cattle country of Willer Crick, two wandering cowboys ride straight into a feud-ridden range where family ties are tangled, tempers are quick, and trouble comes looking for strangers. Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens find themselves heirs to a disputed ranch, a mysterious legacy, and a hornet’s nest of frontier suspicion. Brimming with dry humor, hard riding, and Western grit, this lively tale captures the comic danger and outlaw charm of the early pulp frontier.
The Medicine Man
In the rugged Modoc range, rancher Bud Daley faces ruin when his entire herd vanishes and suspicion closes in around him. Burdened by debt, betrayed by circumstance, and caught between ruthless power and frontier justice, Bud must navigate a world where loyalty, reputation, and survival are never certain. Blending Western mystery, sharp cowboy humor, and hard-edged range drama, W. C. Tuttle’s tale captures a lawless cattle country alive with danger, wit, and moral reckoning.
A Little Girl in Tears
In a rain-swept city night, a comfortable man’s search for excitement leads him far beyond diversion and into a world of poverty, sorrow, and unexpected human grace. What begins as a flirtation with danger becomes a poignant encounter with lives balanced between desperation and hope. Ellis Parker Butler crafts a finely observed tale of chance, conscience, and the startling distance between privilege and suffering.
The Three Wise Men
In the dusty, half-forgotten desert town of Calent, three local officials—a marshal, a mayor, and a judge—convene their regular poker game above an abandoned saloon, where civic business is conducted between hands of cards and sips of bootleg whiskey. When word reaches them that Peg Nell, a reformed woman they once permitted to stay in town on the promise she would go straight, has lost her job at the Greek restaurant, the three wise men must weigh gossip against judgment. A visit from the town's oiliest busybody turns the quiet card game into an unspoken reckoning. Ernest Haycox's sly, understated western sketch reveals how justice in a frontier town can wear the face of friendship, and how decency often speaks in the fewest words.
