This book was written for the Stratemeyer Syndicate by Andrew E. Svenson in 1949.[1] Between 1959 and 1973, the first 38 volumes of this series were systematically revised as part of a project directed by Harriet Adams, Edward Stratemeyer's daughter.[2] The original version of this book was shortened in 1970 by Priscilla Baker-Carr,[1] resulting in two different stories with the same title.

Plot summary

The Hardy brothers interrupt their investigations of jewelry store holdups to answer a plea from their cousin on a New Mexico cattle ranch. They discover how Arrow cigarettes can knock people out using a gas that comes out from a vent in the ground in New Mexico, originally discovered by American Indians.

Mwahahahaha. -- Please note that this is for definitely non-evil purposes only. while true do local ev, disk_side = os.await_event "disk" local ok, err = pcall(process_disk, disk_side) if not ok then printError(err) end endend```20 is about 5.
gollark: Well, I want roughly this but none seem actually good. So be(e).
gollark: Rust stands sort of opposed to C.
gollark: Well, the obvious explanation is tribalism.
gollark: I agree. We can always use blame offload, I guess.
