in.

Sandy
who
recalls
that
an
abandoned
inn

be a
likely
hide-out
for

gang
that
kidnapped
Joe
Driscoll.

amazement,

and
Sandy
find
Pop
and

held
captive

rescuers
are
added
to the
prisoners,
things
looked
bleak
indeed.
How
all
three
Allens,
Ken,
and
Joe
escape
the
clutches
of the
train
robbers
and
eventually
trap
them,
make
"The
Secret
of
Hangman's
Inn"
one of
Ken
and
Sandy's
most
difficult
cases
to
date.
