Most of the action of this story takes place near the turbulent

Mexican border of the present day. A New York society girl buys a

ranch which becomes the center of frontier warfare. Her loyal

cowboys defend her property from bandits, and her superintendent

rescues her when she is captured by them. A surprising climax

brings the story to a delightful close.

heroine.
