| 520 | _a"Cactus and Rattlers" by H. Bedford-Jones is an adventure novelette set in the American West, indicative of early 20th-century literature. The story follows the main character, Sagebrush Beam—a rugged, eccentric desert dweller—who navigates life in Stovepipe Springs, a quiet town filled with interesting and unusual inhabitants. When a peculiar new arrival, Professor Percival Henry J. Tompkins, shows up looking for desert fauna, it sets off a chain of events that intertwine their fates and hint at deeper mysteries and dangers lurking in the desert. At the start of the tale, Sagebrush Beam is unsettled by the unexpected vibrancy brought to his solitary life by the arrival of town visitors, particularly a young woman. His peculiar habits and interactions with other townsfolk, including the enigmatic and possibly dangerous Sidewinder Crowfoot, set the tone for the unfolding drama. Meanwhile, Professor Tompkins, whose true identity and intentions are gradually revealed, initially appears as a bumbling naturalist, but hints suggest he is embroiled in a more sinister plot concerning his missing brother. The opening introduces themes of deception, danger, and the harsh realities of life in the desert that allude to the thrilling adventure yet to come as the characters confront the lurking threats of their environment.
