Ace Drummond Chapter Five, ``Bullets of Sand'', opens with the discovery that Ace Drummond is not dead. (The previous installment I covered the 29th of June, and the earlier chapters yet in the days leading up to that..)

Oh, I should mention, I'm at BunnyHugger's for the next several days, so I'm using recaps of _Ace Drummond_ to make sure I have entertaining copy written up and ready to go for the interim. I mean entertaining to me. Everyone else can glaze over my curious efforts to spoiler-proof a 70-year-old serial that if you had any interest in watching you would have already seen, although it is available on archive.org if you want to form your own opinions.  )

I don't know what the titular ``Bullets of Sand'' are supposed to be. Maybe it's the wood chips or whatever being sprayed on Billy?

Trivia: President Andrew Jackson and Secretary of State Martin van Buren both signed William Austin Burt's typographer patent on 23 July 1829. Source: The Wonderful Writing Machine, Bruce Bliven Jr.
