Daisy Doll's Dash: The Ten Colorado Pards This installment of T.C. Harbaugh's serialized Western tale features Bill Blake, a skilled poker player from Leadville, who ignores a warning notice posted by the Ten Pards—a gang of mountain desperadoes guarding their remote Colorado settlement called Take-Notice. Blake deliberately rides into their camp and challenges their leaders, Bowie Bill and Captain Quartz, to poker. After winning substantial stakes through superior play, Blake faces accusations of cheating. When Captain Quartz demands restitution, Blake strikes him across the face with a wallet full of gold coins and draws twin revolvers, forcing the gang to let him ride away. The narrative emphasizes Blake's nerve, combat readiness, and card-playing prowess against overwhelming odds.
