This issue of *Crack Shot Harry* (Vol. XXIX, No. 865) features the first installment of "The Masked Rider" by Col. Prentiss Ingraham. Set during the American Revolution in New Jersey's Ramapo Valley, the story follows Harry Mountjoy, son of a loyalist English general. After his father presents him with a British Army commission, Harry passionately rejects it, declaring his allegiance to the American cause. This insult provokes Colonel Carter to challenge Harry to a duel. Harry accepts, fights at dawn with pistols, and kills Carter with a shot to the heart. The narrative then shifts to Colonel Conrad's American cavalry squadron, cut off behind enemy lines. A mysterious masked horseman appears, offers to guide them to safety through mountain paths, and leads them away from encircling British forces. The rider's identity remains concealed.
