The Practical Jokers

About the Book:When Stace arrives at the saloon at the rail head of the Double Bar M Ranch he finds a young half-Indian lad Rabbit being terrorized by the local cowboys. He rescues the boy and when Colonel McFarley invites him to join the crew he insists that Rabbit be given a job as well. But he discovers that having rescued Rabbit he has not stopped the harassment though the other cowboys are judging exactly what Satce will tolerate. So Stace works up a scheme to trick the other cowboys into accepting Rabbit. In the process Rabbit learns about the nature and special meanings of tricks and practical jokes.
