The Rover Boys on the Farm
Or, Last Days at Putnam Hall
Home at Valley Brook farm between terms at Putnam Hall, Dick, Tom, and Sam Rover stumble into a cave on Chase Mountain stacked with stolen freight and a hidden letter box crooks use to pass messages. At the same time their Uncle Randolph admits he's been swindled out of $10,000 in traction-company bonds by two smooth operators, Merrick and Pike. The boys tail a suspect named Dangler through the cave, then spot Merrick at a wild west show in Ithaca and chase him through the streets — only to watch him get away, bonds and all.
It's the twelfth volume in the Rover Boys Series for Young Americans, published by Grosset & Dunlap under Edward Stratemeyer's pen name Arthur M. Winfield.
