"Lure of the Lode" by Stephen Chalmers concerns seven fugitives from justice—"seven breeds"—bound by shared desire for buried diamonds in the desert. "On One Wave" by Hugh S. Fullerton depicts Great Lakes steamboat pilots facing storms. W.C. Tuttle contributes "The Color of His Boots," a lighter tale involving boot polish and prairie misadventure. Other offerings include "Back to the dim blue ranges" by Hapsbnrg Liebe; "One Lone Man" featuring Tom Reagle; and the conclusion of Gordon Young's two-part "From Behind Masks," concerning a conspirator's identity.
