Speaker 1 (00:17):
A query horse with a speed of light, a cloud
of dust, and a hearty high o silver Ow Lone Ranger.
(00:37):
This is the legend of a man and a horse
and how they met. The story of the Lone Ranger
and his great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger and Tottle
were trailing the worst outlaw in the West. His name
was Butch Cavendish. They had followed his trail for many
(00:59):
weeks until finally they noticed that the hoof prints of
the outlaw's horse were fresh.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We're close to Cavendish now, yes, Toto, he can't be
far ahead him out run us. Last time may be better.
We shoot in sight. No, I want to take him alive.
A shot very nurse Telly boy over there, killer and
ambush him right away, Tollow, he missed me, but he
shot my horse. Get after him, Tad. Toto's horse was tired.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And no match in speed for the animal Cavendish road
the outlaw escaped. When Toto returned from the futile chase,
he found the Lone Ranger standing beside his dead horse.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
A good horse, Toto, loyal, faithful and brave. But my
next horse must be faster. I wish that Toto we've
heard stories of a wild horse, a fiery white tallion.
Ah him seenor.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Valley over there, where Cavendish go.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
We'll be on the lookout for the wild horse. Where
we follow Cavendish. A a ah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Toto's horse carried the Lone Ranger's saddle, his saddle bags,
and bridle, while the masked man and the Indian continued
on foot along the outlaws trail. When they reached the
top of a hill, look too. They halted suddenly and
stared at an awe inspiring sight. Far down in the valley.
They saw a great white stallion in a death fight
(02:25):
with a giant buffalo. The horse was plunging, rearing, charging
and dodging wildly, and the sun flashed from his coat
as from a coat of polished silver. They realized that
this was the legendary white stallion, the one ranchers and
hunters had talked so much about.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Uddo. We must have that horse. I'll try to shoot
the buffalo. It's too far, propistol shot. I'll get closer
before it's too late.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
As he ran downhill, the Lone Ranger watched the battle.
The sleek white stallion was nimble and courageous, but his
strength began to wane. The buffalo charged again and again.
The splendid muscles of the fight horse were slower in responding,
then too slow. He was by the buffalo's charge, wet,
crimson stained his pure white coat.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Another charge.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The white horse saw it coming, and.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He couldn't dodge. He staggered and fell.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
The monster drew back and lowered his head for the
death charge, and then two shots rang out. The buffalo
shuddered from the impact of the mask man's bullets. For
an instant he stood motionless, then fell cruelly, battered and bruised.
(03:42):
The white stallion lay quietly as the lone ranger bathed
his wounds.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
During the next several.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Days, the masked man and the Indian cared for the
injured horse. Then the wounds were closed, and the horse's
strength had returned. There was once more fire in his eye,
a spring in his step, and his head was lifted proudly.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Todo, he's himself again. Ah him lenty strong, plenty good horse.
I wonder if you'll take a saddle. Let's try. Steady there,
steady boy, me caprol him run away, No, toto, wait,
let him go. I'd like to have that horse more
than anything in the world. But he deserves his freedom.
(04:25):
He fought for it him. Stop. He's turned to look
at us. See how the sun reflects from his white coat.
Ah him look like silver. Silver. That would be a
name for him, Silver. Look at him, Silver, Silver, Odo,
(04:47):
he's coming back. It's just as if he knew what
I said. Silver, Silver, you beauty, hand me.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
The hall he toto ah as the why Stallion felt
the halter. He trembled as if from a chill. Every
instinct told him that he must flee at once to
preserve his freedom, and yet he stood his ground.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It wasn't gratitude that kept him there.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It was something stronger, some mysterious bond of friendship and understanding.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
He heard the man's voice and he liked it. Silver, Silver,
we're going to be partners.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Him.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Let you use halter. Now, tuto the saddle. Oh, no,
horse like that, take saddle. Never was a horse like this. Wow, Silver,
we're going to work together.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The horse was wild and unused to the ways of
men and the weight of a saddle and a rider.
But the masked man was a kind teacher. He was
gentle yet firm, and Silver was intelligent, The stallion seemed
to sense the desires of a lone ranger and did
his best to cooperate. He learned quickly, and after several
days of training, he was ready.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Follow me, Toto, I'm going after Cabinish.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
No hoops had ever beat the planes like those plundering
hoops of the great horse Silver.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
During the past few days.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Cavendish had gotten far away, but the masked Man and
Toto trailed him relentlessly, with only a minimum of rest.
It took days to cut down the outlaw's lead, but
at long last Cavendish came into fuel.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
There he is.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
A mighty Stallion responded with a new burst of speed.
Cavendish fired wild shots over his shoulder until his gun
was empty. His horse, though powerful and fast, was no
match for the charging Silver. Here he hannock filled the outlaw. Please,
he heard the hoof maps ever nearer man the masked
man shout, I want you Candish. The masked Man's avowed
(06:48):
mission was accomplished. The last of the Cavendish gang was
captured to be tried by law and punished for his crimes.
But there were many others whose criminal plans were to
be challenged by the lone Ranger, his faithful Indian companion Tottle,
and his great horse silver silver,
