Résumé

"The Boy Ranchers on the Trail" by Willard F. Baker is a captivating tale set in the American West, focusing on the adventures of three young ranchers: Bud Merkel and his cousins, Nort and Dick Shannon. The story begins with the trio participating in a large round-up at Diamond X ranch, where they demonstrate their growing skills in cattle herding and branding. However, the excitement of the round-up is soon overshadowed by a series of mysterious events. The boys discover a stethoscope near the entrance of a tunnel that supplies water to their ranch, raising suspicions of an intruder. This discovery is followed by a robbery at Diamond X, where burglars attempt to open a safe but flee with only a small amount of money. The boys are drawn into the mystery, suspecting a connection between the stethoscope and the robbery. As they return to their own ranch, Happy Valley, they encounter further challenges. A shot is fired at them while they practice shooting, and they learn that rustlers have stolen a significant number of their cattle. Determined to protect their ranch and uncover the truth, Bud, Nort, and Dick set out to track down the rustlers and solve the mystery of the stethoscope. Throughout the narrative, the boys demonstrate courage, resourcefulness, and a deepening understanding of the complexities of ranch life. The story is a blend of adventure, mystery, and the rugged charm of the Western frontier, highlighting the boys' development from novices to capable ranchers.
