"The X Bar X boys at the round-up" by James Cody Ferris is a juvenile Western adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows teenage brothers Roy and Teddy Manley on the X Bar X ranch as they navigate round-up season, test their horsemanship, and face threats on the open range. Early signs point to trouble from suspicious “buyers” and possible rustling, alongside rodeo ambitions and classic Western hazards. The opening of the novel finds Roy and Teddy riding fence, worrying over a mysterious rider and the inquisitive Lefton brothers, when a wolf chase turns into a desperate flight from a ravenous pack—ended only by a timely rescue from the Leftons and their partner, Mob Jamisson. Invited to the trio’s camp, Roy later sneaks back under a pretext and overhears talk of “cars,” an “eight mile” run, and hundreds of head—hinting at a scheme. A comic interlude follows at the neighboring 8 X 8 ranch, where Bug Eye’s runaway homemade mower nearly destroys a flower bed. Back home, a curt buyer named Peter Peterson demands a forfeit and insists the Manleys deliver six hundred head to Red Rock instead of the usual Eagles, which raises the brothers’ suspicions. Scouting Red Rock, they spot Peterson conferring with the Leftons before the men board a train, reinforcing the sense of collusion. Returning to the ranch, the boys launch rodeo practice as Teddy mounts an unbroken mustang, setting the stage for both competition and looming cattle trouble.
