About this ebook

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. At the Cross J ranch, Hen Peck and his hard-luck companions talk big, dress bigger, and trade insults while getting ready for a dance. Hen, a self-aware cowhand with a knack for music and trouble, introduces the crew: the towering, poetic Muley Bowles, the lanky, self-important Telescope Tolliver, and the chronic liar Chuck Warner. Their banter turns into a ridiculous plan involving a hidden swimming hole, but frontier comedy quickly collides with danger when news arrives of a bizarre jailbreak and two naked, armed madmen on the loose. What follows is a blistering Western farce of dust, cactus, gunfire, and humiliation. Hen and Telescope's attempt at a swim sends their horses bolting, throws them into a frantic chase, and leaves them naked, bruised, and mistaken for dangerous fugitives. Pursued by posse, women, goats, a red steer, and their own bad luck, they stumble from one absurd disaster to the next until a botched break-in at the ranch turns into a roomful of screaming women, rifles, and confusion. In the end, the whole uproar is exposed as a misunderstanding, and Hen and Telescope emerge committed to their "clean crazy" creed: never trust a bath again.

About the author

W. C. "Wilbur C." Tuttle was an American writer whose career flourished in the early twentieth century, when magazine fiction and popular novels helped define the reading habits of a rapidly changing public. Born in the Midwest and shaped by the practical, fast-moving world of commercial writing, he built a reputation as a sharp observer of everyday life, especially the comic tensions that arise when ordinary people are pushed into extraordinary situations. Tuttle became best known for lively, accessible fiction that blended humor, domestic realism, and a keen eye for social manners, earning readers through his ability to make familiar settings feel fresh and entertaining. His work often turns on themes of ambition, class, pretension, and the absurdity of human behavior, yet beneath the wit there is a generous understanding of people struggling to keep up appearances or find dignity in imperfect circumstances. That blend of comedy and insight still resonates today, especially in an age that remains fascinated by social performance, reinvention, and the pressures of respectability. Though not always as widely remembered as some of his contemporaries, Tuttle's writing endures as a lively record of American popular culture and a reminder that humor can reveal as much truth as seriousness. Readers who enjoy witty social fiction, character-driven comedy, and stories that find both amusement and affection in everyday life are most likely to appreciate him.
