The Devil's Legion

Danger threatened Texas, such danger as she had not known since the dark days of '48.

"Don" Jose Muerte was a gallant figure as he rode at the head of his men: but Lucifer, too, was doubtless a gallant figure as he led his cohorts from the mouth of hell. "Don" Jose -- robber, smuggler, wide-looper, and killer -- made his first bad mistake when he put one over on Ranger Jim Hatfield and got the famous Lone Wolf on his trail. But for a long time, it seemed whenever Hatfield was ready to take a trick, "Don" Jose had a trump ready to top him. Jose Muerte was shrewd and deadly, but back of him was an even shrewder, more able, and deadlier man, a man who dreamed a great and evil dream -- and had it not been for the tireless efforts of the Lone Wolf, he might have made that dream come true.
