I saw him. He was lying in the shade of
a yat boulder and pumped from my skeeting young Fellah,
just lying there. He looked comfortable and relaxed. He'd be
taking a sister, but he couldn't have been enjoying himself
too much, not with a big red stain like that
across the front of his shirt. I ah, what's the trouble.

Speaker 27 (13:17):
I had a little accident.

Speaker 11 (13:18):

The six shooters, starling James Stewart.

Speaker 18 (26:32):
About an hour and a half after I met up
with the sheriff, we came to a little stream trickling
down the hill, just off the trail.

Speaker 27 (26:37):
I'd met her.

Speaker 18 (26:38):
From the past five before. I hadn't known let the
water around, and Scar hadn't swallowed either.

Speaker 28 (26:45):
Eh beans, the quiet and everything, and we pulled up together.

Speaker 18 (26:48):
The horses can't get a drink.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
I guess ain't no rush.

Speaker 18 (26:56):
Off you see, Yeah, something funny.

Speaker 27 (27:03):
I was just thinking about Jenny Garberg. Huh, Yep, she's
finally got herself a man. He's going to be real temporary.
Can't take you that. Yeah, And if he didn't have
a bullet in him, I bet he'd take off the
first time.

Speaker 11 (27:16):
He got to look at her.

Speaker 27 (27:19):
Well, I said, Dick, warn a bullet to keep me there?

Speaker 41 (27:22):
Me too?

Speaker 18 (27:23):
Sure something wrong with Jenny?

Speaker 11 (27:27):
Well you see her rangeo?

Speaker 28 (27:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (27:30):
Well, well I guess she's no beauty. Now that's given
her the benefit of the doubt. Talking now, if you
ask me, my horse is better looking, you know.

Speaker 18 (27:43):
Shaft a A lot of plain women seem to get
along all right, but I don't sun to play with
you know.

Speaker 11 (27:48):
Well it ain't just as Jenny's ugly, but she's a
darn awkward and big Why even.

Speaker 27 (27:53):
When she was a little girl living in town, she
was always a head torn any boy rade and stronger too.
I guess they've had nothing to sing.

Speaker 11 (28:04):
Everything was her post and procular about. Jenny wouldn't admit
she was any different from the other girls. You remember how.

Speaker 27 (28:11):
They used to dress her all those fancy clothes with
frills and ribbons. One made her look twice as who
she would have otherwise. You know, her father used to
stake of the party to the square dancers, but he
was the only one who ever danced with it. No, sir,
I don't think the single boy in town corded her.
Not one.

Speaker 11 (28:29):
You're you're forgetting Willie Franklin.

Speaker 18 (28:31):
Oh sure, well Franklin, Yeah, he's quite a cut up.

Speaker 27 (28:37):
Made a bet one night with some of the fellas.
He said he'd get Jenny to agree to marry him.
He took her out He's wagon and proposed. Of course,
he said, yes. But you didn't know that Willie's friends
was all hidden in the back of the wagon at
least wife, You didn't know it until they all busted
out laughing.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
Was right after that her folks, Jared, wasn't her?

Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (28:56):
Yeah, that's when she bought this cabin about five years ago,
come to think of it. So Jenny can't be more
than twenty five or six. Looks a whole lot older, though,
wouldn't you say so, britt Oh.

Speaker 18 (29:09):
I don't know. I'm not much good to judging age,
as basically a woman's.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
The place, keep ahead, land still, line must be up.
I'm sure she's up all right.

Speaker 27 (29:22):
First time she ever had a man within touching distancing.

Speaker 18 (29:26):
O what's not ye?

Speaker 27 (29:29):
Better leave the horses here and go the rest away
on foot.

Speaker 18 (29:32):
Oh, no, line's not after giving you any trouble.

Speaker 27 (29:35):
Oh you never can tell. You may be feeling better
by now.

Speaker 18 (29:38):
Yeah, I'm not that in mind.

Speaker 20 (29:43):
He's seen us.

Speaker 27 (29:44):
He didn't waste no time about it either, because he
wasn't as sick as he thought, Britt or else.

Speaker 11 (29:48):
He made a mighty fast recovery.

Speaker 27 (29:52):
We don't ever hit him from down here.

Speaker 11 (29:53):
What do you suppose happened to Jenny?

Speaker 27 (29:54):
I don't know nothing about her. She's probably got her
half scared to death. Well, we'll have to rush him.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
Ain't gonna be easy, sheriff.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
With this moon.

Speaker 11 (30:03):
He should have spotted once.

Speaker 27 (30:05):
All we can do, Sam, you and Harry Steve? Who
can make it up to the fence over there?

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Right?

Speaker 11 (30:14):
Okay, okay, I'll fight it twice.

Speaker 27 (30:16):
That'll be the signal to close in.

Speaker 18 (30:18):
No hold on a minute, share, Yeah, just hold up
there now. If we go plowing up in front of
that cabin, somebody's gonna get hurt.

Speaker 27 (30:27):
Well, what's a matter of pocket you've been shot at before?

Speaker 28 (30:30):
Well that doesn't mean exactly. I like the idea, And besides,
there's another way of getting in the door around back,
and there are a couple of trees back. Oh no,
he'll be watching the back door.

Speaker 18 (30:38):
And that's no fool, I know, but it's worth a try.

Speaker 27 (30:40):
And all right, I'll go with.

Speaker 18 (30:42):
You, no way, not just let me go along one man,
ain't that to be seen? You just keep flying and
if I ain't back in five minutes, so we'll take
him your way, huh.

Speaker 11 (30:53):
I a minute, We won't wait no longer.

Speaker 18 (31:02):
I hunched down along and I started circling through the
rear of the cabin and there was much covered and
just rocks, a couple of stub pines. Anyway, nobody was
shooting at.

Speaker 28 (31:14):
Me yet, so found nobody'd seen me.

Speaker 18 (31:18):
I came up along the side of the barn and
the back door was just just ahead. I still had
about twenty years to go. I ran forward in my
foot car. I tripped over some of my kindling Jenny
stacked up there in the afternoon. I lay I like
quiet from it. I just waird. It sounded to me

(31:41):
like I made enough noise so they could hear it
down the lead craig. Yeah, shooting wasn't in my direction.
So I got up on my knees, and I raced
for the cabin.

Speaker 28 (31:53):
I opened up the door.

Speaker 32 (31:54):
I kept on going.

Speaker 18 (31:56):
When I got into the living room, I I'm sorry.
I figured right that was on the cot just where
he left him hadn't moved. It was Johnny who was
during the fire. And she swung around. She pointed the
revolver around me. Her eyes weren't soft, not anymore. You
told him you brown here.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
I would have taken him away as soon as he
was well enough.

Speaker 14 (32:20):
Why couldn't you let us alone?

Speaker 18 (32:23):
Not killed a man last night? I don't care. I
don't care what he does.

Speaker 11 (32:27):
As long as he needs me, I'll stand by him
and help him.

Speaker 18 (32:30):
He needed to hide that, Denny. I must have been
staying here for some time, or his pony wouldn't have
had enough sense to come back here with zoning accord.
They're gonna start closing in, Jenny.

Speaker 11 (32:42):
You're not going to take him away from me.

Speaker 18 (32:44):
I won't let you.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Nett likes me.

Speaker 18 (32:47):
He told me he likes me, and he's the first
person who ever did give me your gun. Even if
it isn't true, even if he didn't really mean it,
he doesn't laugh at me like the others.

Speaker 29 (32:58):
He didn't mind my look, even my mother said it.

Speaker 27 (33:03):
But I won't not now, No, thank me with it.
You'll marry me, I know he will.

Speaker 11 (33:14):
I can't let you take him away, no matter what,
not even.

Speaker 18 (33:19):
If I ever, killing may won't help him.

Speaker 42 (33:21):
That The only way I can keep you gonna stop
you somehow.

Speaker 27 (33:28):
You and the others out there.

Speaker 18 (33:32):
Oh, there's no way you can keep him, Jenny, He's dead.
I'll turn around. Turn around. Look, I'm not trying to
catch you off guard. Just turn around. He hasn't been
breathing enough since I came in.

Speaker 43 (33:51):
Oh he loves me, love me.

Speaker 11 (34:05):
Oh my god, I'm not there.

Speaker 17 (34:07):
I might have known you.

Speaker 11 (34:08):
Take care. It was me shafted with you.

Speaker 18 (34:11):
Huh your ballots from this afternoon.

Speaker 27 (34:13):
I'll be done. I told you I was sure i'd
hit him, Remember Tom, I told you.

Speaker 11 (34:17):
And how come he was able to hold us off?
Just now, Well, he was a tough one to kill.

Speaker 27 (34:21):
He wouldn't give up the strain of shooting at as
much to Finally, Pennican, Ain't.

Speaker 28 (34:25):
That the way you figured, brit Something like that.

Speaker 27 (34:34):
Little gun played, Bobby, Jimmy, come.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
On, come on, It.

Speaker 27 (34:44):
Sure is funny how women are scared the gunfire.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
Everyone even.

Speaker 27 (34:50):
Well, he just goes to show that underneath they're all
pretty much alike.

Speaker 28 (34:55):
Yeah, yeah, I guess there are. Uh, And that was
very the nice day. And there was one bunch of
flowers at the funeral, wild babies. Folks just couldn't figure

(35:19):
out who's sin And you know that, they tell me
that it was right about then.

Speaker 18 (35:26):
That Jenny Garver started acting different.

Speaker 12 (35:29):
Oh.

Speaker 18 (35:30):
I don't mean she got pretty or anything like that,
but she didn't seem more confident, you know, just seemed
a little more sure. For so people said, if they
didn't know but it, they'd swear that a man had
something to do with the way she'd changed. But of
course they.

Speaker 31 (51:34):
Of a rocking chair.

Speaker 20 (51:35):
So so the lady had.

Speaker 9 (51:37):
Done the running over.

Speaker 48 (51:38):
She come walking up to the porch where I was
are rocking away, and she says, I'm terribly sorry, young man,
but I just run over one of your hands and
I'd like to replace her.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
Well, that was nice of her. What did you say?

Speaker 14 (51:50):
What could I say?

Speaker 48 (51:51):
I just told her, I said, that's okay with me, lady,
providing you can lay an egg.

Speaker 29 (51:57):
You know, sometimes I wonder about you, Butcherman, you ain't
the only one.

Speaker 48 (52:01):
When I was just a little baby, I was born
at a very early age, you know, and my mama
and Papa they didn't know what they wanted me to be.
So one day Papa said to Mama, he says, I
know a sure way to find out. Welcher Right then
and there, Papa put a bible, a dollar bill, and
an apple on the floor, and he sent me crawling
into the room alone to see what I do. He

(52:23):
claimed that if and I took the Bible, I'd be
a preacher.

Speaker 20 (52:26):
If and I took the apple, I'd be a.

Speaker 48 (52:28):
Farmer, and if I took the dollar, i'd be a banker.

Speaker 29 (52:33):
Well, I know, I'm vercily for asking, But which one
did you take?

Speaker 12 (52:36):
Well?

Speaker 26 (52:36):
Was the first?

Speaker 48 (52:37):
I picked up the apple, put that in my mouth.
Then I picked up the dollar bill, put it in
my pocket. And I picked up the Bible, put it
under my arm and walked out. So Papa says, well,
what do you know, Mama, That boy of ours is
going to be a politician.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
Now that's what I call a very wise observation.

Speaker 29 (52:58):
Say, by the way, did you watch the dishes, clean
the house, scrub the floors, beat the carpets, hang the curtains,
chop the wood, milk the cows, and feed the chickens
like I told you to do this morning.

Speaker 31 (53:10):
No, but don't worry.

Speaker 12 (53:11):
I will.

Speaker 48 (53:11):
I'll do them, and I'll also shovel of snow off
of the side.

Speaker 29 (53:15):
Wait just a minute, there, buster, there's no snow on
the sidewalks this time of the year.

Speaker 48 (53:20):
No, but there will be by the time I get
done with the.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
Rest of them.

Speaker 29 (53:26):
Well, so long, Patrick, oh boy, we'll check with you
again in a few minutes. Meantime, let's all give a
careful listen to the cast County Boys singing a brand
new song called.

You really wrap that one up nice. Incidentally, speaking of
wrapping things up, did you ever hear the expression good
things come in small packages? Well, sir, Delicious refreshing Doublemint

(55:34):
chewing gum sure proves that point for me. Yes, indeed, Friends,
With five sticks of that grand doublemint gum in my hand,
I know there's many a good thing come in my way.
For instance, I know I'm going to enjoy some mighty smooth,
pleasant chewing with a flavor that's always a treat for
my taste. What's more, grand double mint gum is a

(55:58):
great aid for digestion, not for meals. Helps keep your
teeth bright and clean too, And that delicious doublemint flavor
freshens your taste, makes your mouth and throat moist and comfortable.
So you see what I mean when it comes to
chewing satisfaction. You're going to get the most from those

(56:18):
five sticks of delicious refreshing doublemint chewing gum. Now, friends,
here's the song I had the pleasure of recording not
too many years ago. You seem to like it, then,
he's hoping you still like it now. In the Blue

(56:46):
Coney in Rocky Spring is sign through the tree, and
the gold old and poppies are blooming brown, the banks

(57:09):
of lazy blue.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
Brown. The sea they call me.

Speaker 37 (57:22):
Can.

Speaker 26 (57:22):
I'm longs.

Speaker 32 (57:25):
So blue.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
For the Blue Canadian and Rockies.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
Ian A girl I love so true.

Speaker 6 (57:45):
He crowns the sea.

Speaker 45 (57:49):
They call me.

Speaker 12 (57:52):
Can.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
I'm lonesome.

Speaker 22 (57:56):
So blue.

Speaker 27 (58:00):
For the.

Speaker 41 (58:04):
Rockies Man.

Speaker 45 (58:08):
The world so wide, you.

Speaker 6 (58:41):
Know, neighbors.

Speaker 29 (58:42):
Not far from right here at Melody Ranch is a
place called Willa Valley, and they're nestled among the trees
as a church, a little church that the song you
just heard the boys and girls singing could very well
have been written about. He had a church that might
never have been built had it not been for a
man named Cyrus Carter.

Speaker 6 (59:02):
However, his fate often wills it.

Speaker 29 (59:05):
Cyrus Carter didn't live to see his dream become a reality.
As a matter of fact, it was just two weeks
before the Sunday his church was to be dedicated that
Cyrus Carter passed away, leaving his wife and son to
carry on his work.

Speaker 6 (59:20):
And that's where this story begins.

Speaker 38 (59:23):
I do hope I'm not keeping it from anything, Jane,
but well, you're the only one I know to turn
to believe me.

Speaker 6 (59:29):
I might have flattered to think that you would. Missus Carter.

Speaker 38 (59:32):
Well, I mean it, but I'm afraid this isn't something
else for like a church pledge, you see it when
it's about our son Ben Ben.

Speaker 6 (59:43):
He isn't in any kind of trouble, is he?

Speaker 18 (59:45):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (59:45):
No, not really.

Speaker 38 (59:48):
I guess being a mother, I'm just a little disappointed,
that's all, you see. Jean Cyrus's fondest dream was that
one day Ben had followed his footsteps carry on his work. Now,
since his father's gone, something seems to have changed him.

Speaker 6 (01:00:03):
How do you mean changed him, Miss Carter?

Speaker 38 (01:00:05):
Well, he told me last night that he wants to
go away, Jane. He wants to forget all about the church,
wants to build a whole new life for himself.

Speaker 18 (01:00:14):
I see.

Speaker 6 (01:00:16):
And can you think of any reason for this sudden change?

Speaker 31 (01:00:19):
I only wish I.

Speaker 38 (01:00:20):
Could, Naturally, I don't want to force him into doing
something he no longer cares about. But well, I thought
you might be better able to talk with him about it.

Speaker 29 (01:00:30):
Who believe me, I'll be glad to missus Carter, that is,
if you really think he'll do any good.

Speaker 26 (01:00:36):
I don't know, Gene.

Speaker 38 (01:00:37):
I don't honestly know that it will. But Ben thinks
the world of you that much.

Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
I do know. Tell me, is he still living at
the house with you.

Speaker 38 (01:00:45):
No, Gene, He's staying out in wille Valley by himself.
He's fixed up one of the back rooms in the
new church.

Speaker 29 (01:00:51):
In that case, I'll go right out to see it
ins afternoon. Don't worry abous, Carter. Ben's a fine young man.
You saw that he can't go too far wrong, and
so Ben, that's it. That's why I came over here

(01:01:13):
to talk to you.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
I guessed as much.

Speaker 52 (01:01:15):
Look, Jean, I'm going to tell you the same thing
I told my mother. It's my life and I'm going
to get out of it what I want.

Speaker 29 (01:01:22):
No one's disputing your right to do that. And what's
this all about anyway? Your mother just wants to make
sure that you really get those things you want.

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
And that's all.

Speaker 52 (01:01:30):
One Thing's a cinch. I'm not going to get him here.
I've lived, eating, and slept in a church all my life.
I even went to theological school to learn how to
become a minister because that's what my mom and dad
wanted me to do.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
But then dad died and somehow nothing after that made
me sense.

Speaker 26 (01:01:44):
It couldn't.

Speaker 6 (01:01:45):
No matter how I added it up, I got the
same answer.

Speaker 52 (01:01:47):
He'd given his time, his money, his food, finally, his
life to others, and for what When he died, all
he left was a mortgaged house, a lot of unpaid bills,
and half finished church that's never opened its doors.

Speaker 29 (01:01:58):
Aren't you forgetting an awful lot of people who'll never
forget him for his kindness and help?

Speaker 6 (01:02:03):
Maybe?

Speaker 52 (01:02:03):
But aren't you forgetting kindness and help. Don't buy clothes
and groceries.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
They buy a lot more than that, Ben, They buy happiness.

Speaker 29 (01:02:11):
And when it came to counting that kind of wealth,
your dad was one of the richest men I ever knew.

Speaker 52 (01:02:17):
Look, Geane, that kind of talk sounds good. Maybe it
listens okay for somebody else, but not for me. I'm
leaving here just as soon as I can get enough
money to.

Speaker 29 (01:02:24):
Do it, Okay, Ben, that's the way you feel about us.
I guess there's not much more I can say.

Speaker 52 (01:02:29):
That's the way I feel about it. I'm sorry, Gina,
hope you understand.

Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
Let's just say I wish you a lot. Thanks. We'll
keep in touch here, right, Ben?

Speaker 17 (01:02:40):
So long, so long?

Speaker 6 (01:02:51):
Funny, isn't it?

Speaker 29 (01:02:52):
I mean, how much importance soul many of us attached
to the material things in life, and how little heed
we pay to the spiritual thing? Is that many times
means so much more? Anyway, getting back to the story.
On the following Saturday, I remember I was going over
the current bills in my back room when all of a.

Speaker 30 (01:03:11):
Sudden, Hello, Hello, Jean, Sheriff Dylan.

Speaker 13 (01:03:22):
Oh hello, Jim, get your boys together and head for
Willow Valley right away with you, Jen?

Speaker 6 (01:03:26):
Why what's up?

Speaker 13 (01:03:27):
Well, some guy just held up the Ranchers Loan exchange
here in town and got away with five thousand dollars.
We think he's headed out toward Willow Valley. I sent
a posse out from here, so I figure if you
and your boys head him off from the other way,
we ought to make contact somewhere.

Speaker 31 (01:03:41):
Near the new church, right Jim.

Speaker 6 (01:03:43):
Oh yeah, yeah. One other thing.

Speaker 26 (01:03:45):
Now, this guy is trigger happy, so watch it.

Speaker 6 (01:03:47):
Don't worry. We'll leave within five minutes.

Speaker 45 (01:03:50):
Good.

Speaker 28 (01:03:50):
So long.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
Willow Valley.

Speaker 32 (01:03:54):
Huh, Hello, hello, Ben, This is Gane. Oh yeah, Gene,

(01:04:16):
what's on your mind?

Speaker 29 (01:04:17):
Some guy just held up the Ranchers Loan exchange in
town got away with five thousand dollars.

Speaker 30 (01:04:21):
Why you think he's headed out your way?

Speaker 26 (01:04:23):
But so is the chef's bossy. So I just called
to tell you to keep your eyes open.

Speaker 52 (01:04:27):
Oh gosh, thanks Gane, thanks for tipping me off. I'll
keep a careful lookout right, so I ben.

Speaker 6 (01:04:34):
Okay, chum reaching freeze? Who are you? Never mind that?

Speaker 52 (01:04:39):
Just keep those hands up nice and high where I
can see them. You must be the one who just
held up the ranchers loan exchange.

Speaker 33 (01:04:44):
Well news shoe travels fast around here doing it. Yeah,
I'm the guy all right for your information, mister. This
five thousand bucks in this bag that you're gonna see
that I keep?

Speaker 17 (01:04:55):
Oh no, I'm not.

Speaker 6 (01:04:56):
You won't get away with it. They'll find you here.

Speaker 17 (01:04:57):
I doubt that.

Speaker 33 (01:04:58):
I doubt it very much, especially when you tell him
you won't see me.

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
Hey, what are you gonna do? First?

Speaker 33 (01:05:04):
I'm gonna hide this dough in your closet like this?

Speaker 12 (01:05:09):
Do it?

Speaker 17 (01:05:10):
You got any grub around here?

Speaker 36 (01:05:12):
Now?

Speaker 33 (01:05:13):
Don't give me that stuff. Fix me up something and
make it fast with back as soon as I hide
my horse. And uh oh yeah, just in case you
want want to call somebody to tell him I'm here.
These telephone wires I want to take care of that now,
hurry it up, I'm hungry.

Speaker 39 (01:05:33):
H Okay, you up with him? Why you don't reach
mister You're covered from all side.

Speaker 33 (01:05:48):
Oh yeah, well you ain't taking Rockie Sims a line.

Speaker 36 (01:05:52):
I had it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Well, sir.

Speaker 29 (01:06:04):
By the time me and the boys from Melody Wrench
got out to the church, the excitement was all over.
One debut had been hit, but not seriously. But the
guy we were after, Rocky Simms, was dead. The rieff
told me they hadn't been able to find all the
stolen money, though said he figured the dead guy probably
hidden it somewhere along the trail intended to pick it

(01:06:25):
up later. But somehow that explanation didn't quite ring true
to me, so I went back to talk to Ben
about it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:34):
Yeah, who is it, Jean? What are you doing out here? Hello? Ben?
Getting ready to go somewhere? Or No?

Speaker 52 (01:06:43):
I just well, I just decided to leave sooner than
I expected.

Speaker 26 (01:06:46):
It's all.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
Oh, end of the sudden decision, isn't it sudden?

Speaker 18 (01:06:51):
Oh?

Speaker 52 (01:06:52):
Yeah, yeah, you see, I figured there was no point
by sticking around any longer. It'd just make Mom and
everyone else more unhappy than they already are.

Speaker 17 (01:07:00):
Yeah, I guess you're right with that.

Speaker 29 (01:07:02):
Oh, by the way, I suppose you heard they haven't
found the stolen money from that stick up in the
town yet.

Speaker 18 (01:07:08):
Oh.

Speaker 29 (01:07:09):
The sheriff thinks they may find it hidden along the
back trail somewhere. Yeah, sounds logical, maybe funny, isn't it.
I bet a lot of guys would like to get
their hands on that much money. Just think five thousand
dollars in unmarked bills.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
What are you driving at? H Nothing?

Speaker 29 (01:07:27):
I was just wondering what I'd do if I had
that kind of money. I guess I'd buy a lot
of things, but I doubt if i'd be able to sleep.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
Much at night.

Speaker 14 (01:07:36):
Look, Jeane, like I said, I know you're in a
hurry to leave.

Speaker 6 (01:07:40):
Well, yes, I'll be going. What are you looking at
me like that? For?

Speaker 29 (01:07:48):
I was just recalling a passage your dad used to
quote ever so often from the Bible. It went, what
shall it profit a man if he gaineth the whole
world and loseth his soul?

Speaker 6 (01:08:02):
Us along?

Speaker 29 (01:08:02):
Ben, take it easy? Day was Sunday, and his pat

(01:08:32):
and I walked in to take our seats for the
morning services. The congregation was just finished and singing the
opening hymn.

Speaker 48 (01:08:42):
Hey, Jeane, look there's MSUs Carter down front, all by herself.

Speaker 26 (01:08:46):
Yeah, I see her. Pat God, I.

Speaker 48 (01:08:48):
Should think Ben at least to be here, if for
no other reason than just that his mom wants him
to be.

Speaker 31 (01:08:53):
By the way, who's preaching a sermon this morning?

Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
Do you know Lewis Lord Grimrock? I think, oh, sure,
he's nice, fellon sh he's coming out. Now.

Speaker 18 (01:09:04):
Why do you look?

Speaker 14 (01:09:05):
It's being I thought you said.

Speaker 6 (01:09:07):
The quiet, quiet, listen, good friends.

Speaker 52 (01:09:11):
The subject of my sermon this morning was inspired by
a favorite passage of my father's from the Old Testament.

Speaker 40 (01:09:18):
It reads, what shall it profit a man if he
gaineth the whole.

Speaker 12 (01:09:23):
World and loseth his soul?

Speaker 26 (01:09:26):
First?

Speaker 40 (01:09:27):
However, let us all rise and sing him number one
four six.

Speaker 12 (01:09:33):
There's where I.

Speaker 30 (01:09:50):
Can see Mother than.

Speaker 29 (01:09:53):
Whi her head in prayer has she prays for her
one looking more.

Speaker 30 (01:10:05):
It was there that I first.

Speaker 29 (01:10:09):
Found my Salbie, like an angel corner, so it seem
when she sang sweet alone in the long long ago,
in the little of my dream, I can see Mother

(01:10:53):
than with her head brown in prayer, as she prayed
for her one lurring boy.

Speaker 17 (01:11:06):
It was there that I.

Speaker 26 (01:11:09):
First on my salad.

Speaker 6 (01:11:14):
Like an angel longer.

Speaker 26 (01:11:17):
So it's seem.

Speaker 6 (01:11:21):
When she sang Sweeten.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
Long in the long long ago in the lean.

Speaker 36 (01:11:31):
Church, Oh, miss Darting, you just like always, I've had
a wonderful time in our get together.

Speaker 31 (01:11:50):
I just hope everybody else had as much fun as
I did.

Speaker 6 (01:11:53):
Well, I hope so too, Patrick.

Speaker 29 (01:11:55):
One thing sure, though, all the folks here are friends
and neighbors, so I've noticed they most generally like the
same things we do, which incidentally includes plenty of delicious,
refreshing double mint chewing gum. Believe me, that's something I'm
always glad to hear, because to my mind, grand double

(01:12:16):
mint gum is in a class all by itself, a
swell taste treat and a swell chewing treat. It's mighty
pleasant and satisfying to enjoy often every day. That's delicious
refreshing double mint chewing gum. Well, good friends and neighbors, Yes,

(01:12:37):
that just about ties all the loose ends for this
Sunday Night's Melody Ranch Front Parlor Social. But me and
the whole game will all be back again next week

Hi, partners, I'm gonna sprain the difference between ordinary stereo
phonographs and Columbia stereo.

Speaker 53 (01:20:23):
One.

Speaker 21 (01:20:23):
Listen to an all Well on ordinary stereo. Now listen
to it on Columbia stereo. One, man, there's a real
thousand barrel a day sound. The difference is Columbia stupendous
stereo projection, not just a couple of speakers shooting in
different directions. Columbia gives you the real thing, fills every

(01:20:45):
inch of the room with all the sound and feeling
of a live performance.

Speaker 6 (01:20:49):
And I meet a Texas sized room.

Speaker 26 (01:20:52):
Man, Ain't that the prettiest.

Speaker 6 (01:20:54):
Money making sound?

Speaker 21 (01:20:56):
I mean, get down to your Columbia phonograph dealer and
ask demand to hear stereo one by Clubia. Why they
start as low as thirty nine ninety five for portables
one hundred and twenty nine ninety five for consoles.

Speaker 26 (01:21:10):
Somebody camped that, well, we're losing a.

Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
Fortune in Sacramento. I rented a horse and started on
my journey to the town of Grass Valley. It had
been over a year since I had last heard from
Lola Blackwood. She had written a letter that time telling

(01:21:34):
me that she was tired of touring the country as
an actress and had decided to buy a ranch and
settle down in Grass Valley. So my ride along the
American River to the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas was
filled with thoughts of this beautiful woman. When I tied
my horse to the hitch rail outside the Grass Valley Hotel,
I noticed a carriage standing alongside the boardwalk a few
yards down the street. Sitting in the carriage with a

(01:21:58):
young girl was the love Lola black Wooden.

Speaker 26 (01:22:03):
Lola, delightful, Lola, is so good to see you.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
Oh, this is wonderful. It's been such a.

Speaker 17 (01:22:10):
Long time, almost two years, give.

Speaker 5 (01:22:12):
Me two centuries. I was in San Francisco and I
was playing a.

Speaker 6 (01:22:15):
Field I remember, and there wasn't a dry handkerchief in
the California field.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
I just can't believe it's really you, Oh, Paladin, I
want you to meet Laurie Gallagher.

Speaker 19 (01:22:26):
Hello, Laurie, how do you do, mister Palin.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
I'm sure Laurie feels that she already knows you.

Speaker 38 (01:22:31):
Aunt Lola's told me so many wonderful things about you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:34):
Well, Laurie, your aunt Lola is a very gracious lady.
But I'm afraid she's forgotten to tell me that she
had such a beautiful niece.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Oh, why not?

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
Really, her niece, Laurie has been living with me for
several months, Palette, and ever since her mother passed away.
She and her mother traveled with our company, and before
she died, they came to live with me. I promised her,
I take care of Laurie.

Speaker 6 (01:22:53):
I see, and I suppose you're going to be an actress.

Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
To Laurie, Oh, yes, sir, I'm working very hard at it,
an natural born actress. I'm very proud of her. She's
almost thirteen. Now, in another two years you may have
the good fortune to see a perfect Juliet at your
California theater.

Speaker 6 (01:23:09):
Certainly Field be just the right age for the party.

Speaker 5 (01:23:12):
Yes, I just can't get over this delightful surprise. What
brings you into Grass Valley?

Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
We're you're a telegram.

Speaker 27 (01:23:22):
My?

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
What you sent me a wire asking me to come?

Speaker 19 (01:23:27):
What it must be some mistake I'm afraid.

Speaker 6 (01:23:30):
I don't understand, Lola. Here here's the wire I received.

Speaker 5 (01:23:36):
I don't see that need your hope desperately most urgent
you come to Grass Valley, signs Lola Blackwood. Why I
didn't send this and who didn't?

Speaker 41 (01:23:46):
Got no idea?

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
H Well, there's one way to find out who said it.

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
How mister Pallett is now go to.

Speaker 6 (01:23:53):
The Wireless office and can get a verification from their files.

Speaker 38 (01:23:57):
Lola, why don't you ask mister pallettin to stay with
us while he's here?

Speaker 5 (01:24:01):
Now, Laurie, maybe mister Paladin'd rather stay in town. I'm
sure it'd be much too dull for him at the ranch. Oh,
here comes Boone?

Speaker 27 (01:24:09):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:24:11):
Who is this man?

Speaker 29 (01:24:12):
Lola?

Speaker 12 (01:24:13):
Why?

Speaker 18 (01:24:14):
Boone? I?

Speaker 5 (01:24:15):
This is mister Paladin, an old friend of mine from
San Francisco. Paladin, this is Boone called.

Speaker 6 (01:24:21):
Well how you doing?

Speaker 9 (01:24:23):
You're a long way from San Francisco.

Speaker 6 (01:24:24):
It brings you here business trip.

Speaker 9 (01:24:28):
Not much business in Grass Valley for a man of
wears his gun like that boom.

Speaker 6 (01:24:32):
It's a peaceful town, and I'm a peaceful man, Lola.

Speaker 9 (01:24:38):
You ready to go back to the ranch, Yes, Boon.

Speaker 6 (01:24:41):
Lola, I'll ride out to see you tonight after I
check on this telegram you said. Mister I said I
would be paying my respects to Miss Blackwood this evening.

Speaker 33 (01:24:51):
You may as well know, Miss Blackwood and I are
going to be married her old friends won't be welcome
at the ranch anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
But mister Paladin isn't just an old any someone very special.

Speaker 26 (01:25:02):
Young quiet. She makes me fidgety. Lola kid should be seen,
not her.

Speaker 5 (01:25:06):
What Laurie said was true, And mister Paladin will be
welcomed at my ranch anytime he's so desired.

Speaker 9 (01:25:12):
Those are my decisions to make now, not yours.

Speaker 26 (01:25:16):
Do you understand, Paladin?

Speaker 6 (01:25:18):
I'm afraid I don't stay.

Speaker 9 (01:25:21):
Away from Lola.

Speaker 26 (01:25:23):
I can't make it any clearer than that.

Speaker 8 (01:25:27):
H get it, Harry, Hello, I want to send a wire.

(01:25:48):
Just write it out in one of these forms.

Speaker 6 (01:25:50):
No thanks. I came in to ask you if you
might remember who sent me this telegram came to me
in San Francisco three days ago.

Speaker 8 (01:26:00):
Boy, it says right here the roll of Blackwood.

Speaker 6 (01:26:02):
But did she come into this office to send it?

Speaker 8 (01:26:04):
And she'd have to do, you only telegraph office in town.

Speaker 6 (01:26:08):
But do you actually remember her coming in?

Speaker 8 (01:26:11):
Well, not to mention it. I don't think she did.
Seems I recall that little girl that lives as miss Blackwood.

Speaker 6 (01:26:19):
What's her name, Laurie?

Speaker 8 (01:26:21):
Yeah, that's the one Laurie. I remember now, she came
in here with this message already printed on a piece
of paper, told me Miss Blackwood and paid the charge later.

Speaker 6 (01:26:32):
No, don't bother Miss Blackwood with the charges. They should
take care of it.

Speaker 8 (01:26:36):
Yes, sir, he sure does.

Speaker 24 (01:26:50):
Winston taste wood like a cigarette should because.

Speaker 45 (01:26:54):
There's filter.

Speaker 54 (01:26:56):
Up front ahead of a filter and the fire you kept.
That Winstant cigarette comes from filter blend.

Speaker 45 (01:27:03):
Filter then means fine and I go filter lend the front.

Speaker 54 (01:27:06):
And the fire you get Diner Winston cigarette comes from
filter blend.

Speaker 24 (01:27:10):
Filter blend is a mighty good reason for you to
smoke Winston because it means tobaccos specially processed for filter.
Smoking a Winston secret, you get Winston's own pure white
modern filter plus the rich, delightful flavor of fine tobacco.

Speaker 54 (01:27:31):
There's filter blend the front, up front, ahead of the filter,
and the fun you get in a Winston cigarette comes
from filter glen and.

Speaker 51 (01:27:39):
Makes Winston taste good like a cigatte shot.

Speaker 39 (01:27:43):
Winston taste good like.

Speaker 20 (01:27:45):
A cigarette shirt.

Speaker 6 (01:27:57):
At the Grass Valley Hotel, I learned that Boom called
Well was a professional gambler and control the gaming tables
at the Red Dog Saloon.

Speaker 17 (01:28:06):
I wanted to talk to Lola alone, so before I
rode out to visit her, I stopped by the.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
Saloon to see if Boone was there. He was busy
at the tables.

Speaker 17 (01:28:16):
Twenty minutes later I pulled up at the ranch house.

Speaker 30 (01:28:20):
Oh, it was shot in.

Speaker 28 (01:28:42):
La.

Speaker 45 (01:28:42):
I'll see.

Speaker 5 (01:28:46):
It's Peladin, Paladin. Laurie, go find Ching how he can
help us?

Speaker 20 (01:28:51):
Take him in the house. What hell, Larry, please hurry Paladin.

Speaker 41 (01:28:56):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
Lola? Somebody, somebody took a shot.

Speaker 5 (01:29:00):
The bullet creased your forehead, just above the eye.

Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
Yeah, I can feel it.

Speaker 5 (01:29:07):
Can you stand up?

Speaker 6 (01:29:10):
I think so?

Speaker 5 (01:29:11):
Let me help you.

Speaker 6 (01:29:12):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm all right.

Speaker 5 (01:29:17):
We'd better go in the house.

Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
Wait a minute, listen, a man who shot me is
probably on that horse. I'm going after him.

Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
Peladin. Wait, don't go, Paladin.

Speaker 18 (01:29:28):
I know who it is.

Speaker 28 (01:29:31):
Who Come inside.

Speaker 5 (01:29:34):
We can talk there.

Speaker 6 (01:29:38):
Lola told me that a man named Judd had probably
done the shooting. He had been hired by Boone to
watch over the place at night while Boone was working
in town. Before I could learn more, we were interrupted
by Laurie and the Chinese cook Ching. How Laurie was
pleased to see that I no longer needed assistance, and
she proceeded to apply a bandage to my forehiad. Lola

(01:30:00):
asked Ching how to make some coffee, and then she
took Laurie upstairs to get her ready for bed. A
few minutes later, she returned carrying a tray from the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
Coffee's ready.

Speaker 6 (01:30:12):
Ah good, Laurie asleep?

Speaker 26 (01:30:16):
Not yet.

Speaker 5 (01:30:16):
She's such an excitable child.

Speaker 6 (01:30:19):
How does your head feel much better? Thanks to her
nursing care.

Speaker 5 (01:30:25):
Now this coffee should help too.

Speaker 6 (01:30:27):
Thank you. You're both very considerate. I'm not used to
this kind of treatment. Away from San.

Speaker 5 (01:30:35):
Francisco, things were different.

Speaker 26 (01:30:39):
We could be much more hospitable, Lola, what's between you
and Boone?

Speaker 6 (01:30:48):
Callwell? Are you really going to marry him?

Speaker 27 (01:30:51):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
At one time I was, but not now I didn't
think so. He's a despicable man. If I ever hated
any one, God forgive me. I hate him. Laurie despises him.

Speaker 27 (01:31:08):
So strange.

Speaker 6 (01:31:10):
Strange.

Speaker 35 (01:31:12):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
Boone came into town several months ago.

Speaker 7 (01:31:17):
I met him then.

Speaker 5 (01:31:19):
He was very attentive to Laurie and to me. We
loved him. At the beginning. I was having financial trouble
at the time. What money I had left was dwindling away.
So I decided to put the ranch up for sale,
but nobody wanted to buy. Boone said that, since we
were going to be married any way, that he would
make the mortgage payments and take over the bookkeeping. I

(01:31:39):
was very thankful when he did, and never was very
good at bookkeeping.

Speaker 6 (01:31:43):
How did it work out under his management?

Speaker 5 (01:31:45):
The branch worked out fine, but Laurie and I didn't
do so well. I'm afraid he owns most of the
ranch now.

Speaker 6 (01:31:51):
And this is what made you dislike him so much.

Speaker 5 (01:31:54):
It happened gradually he changed, started treating Laurie like she
didn't belong here, wanted to er away to a foundling
home back east. I begged him out of that. It
got so that he would tell me every move I
should make. After a while, I knew I could never
be possessed by anyone like him.

Speaker 6 (01:32:11):
Then you should get away leave. You could always go
back with the touring company.

Speaker 5 (01:32:17):
Laurie would love that. I told Boone I was going to,
but he's threatened to kill me if I ever try it.
We couldn't get ten miles out of this valley without
him knowing about it. He's got his man jud watching
us whenever he can't be here. There's no use, Paladin.
We are prisoners until Boone gets tired of us and leaves.

Speaker 8 (01:32:36):
That's my only hope.

Speaker 6 (01:32:38):
Someone's riding up out front.

Speaker 7 (01:32:40):
Listen, must be.

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
Judd and Boone. I could have guessed jud would go
tell him you were here.

Speaker 6 (01:32:45):
I'll go outside and meet him.

Speaker 5 (01:32:47):
Now, Paladin, they'll try to kill you. Stay in here,
and I'll see that you leave peaceably. There's no use
in your getting hurt because of my troubles.

Speaker 6 (01:32:55):
They're my troubles too, now, Lola, have you forgotten me?
They banned on my Forlorhiad.

Speaker 53 (01:33:06):
Constipation can be a problem for anyone, even doctors, and
when constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors
consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend.

Speaker 6 (01:33:20):
Well.

Speaker 53 (01:33:21):
A majority of the doctors we heard from had this
to say. A laxative should be effective, gentle, as close
to natural acting as possible, and a medicine that can
be used with complete confidence. Now xlax has been popular
with many doctors and millions of people over the years.
Because chocolated xlax is effective overnight, it helps you toward

(01:33:45):
your normal regularity. X lax is gentle next morning. It
gives you the closest thing to natural action, and that's
why many doctors and millions of people use x lax
with complete confidence. X slax, the laxative that helps you
towards your normal regularity gently overnight is x.

Speaker 6 (01:34:06):
Lax in your medicine cabinet.

Speaker 9 (01:34:22):
Hello, Boone, I told you this afternoon to stay away
from Lola.

Speaker 6 (01:34:28):
I heard you say something like that before he rode away,
but you didn't wait long enough for me to give
you my answer.

Speaker 9 (01:34:35):
Get on your horse and clear out of here.

Speaker 26 (01:34:38):
I'm not gonna waste any more words on you.

Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
Pellet. Your friend Judd doesn't like to waste words either.
You ambush everybody who walks to this door after sundown. Judd,
I wasn't trying to shoot you, mister.

Speaker 17 (01:34:52):
That was only to.

Speaker 9 (01:34:52):
Scare you off.

Speaker 6 (01:34:54):
You're lucky you did hit me, Otherwise you wouldn't have
lived long enough to ride in after.

Speaker 26 (01:34:57):
Boone, Palladin, get off this ranch.

Speaker 6 (01:35:01):
No, Boon, I won't be leaving. You will get on
your horses and move out.

Speaker 26 (01:35:09):
Both of you.

Speaker 55 (01:35:13):
Nobody talks to me like that, all right, Judd, take him,
don't you try it.

Speaker 9 (01:35:20):
Judd kill him, didn't even give him a chance to draw.

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
He reached for his gun in just a cold blooded killer.

Speaker 26 (01:35:35):
And I've taken care of men like you before.

Speaker 6 (01:35:37):
I believe you. Professional gamblers usually know how to take
care of themselves. So my gun is back in its holster.
If you want to try to outdraw me, there's no
other way, is there. It's up to you make your choice.

(01:35:58):
My advice is to turn around and ride out of
here while you're still alive, Paladin.

Speaker 12 (01:36:05):
I don't need your advice, Paladin.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
It's all right, Lulah. Is he dead, both of them.

Speaker 5 (01:36:30):
I was so afraid for you. I'm sorry you had
to get mixed up with my troubles.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
I wouldn't have come here if I hadn't wanted to.

Speaker 5 (01:36:37):
I'm grateful, Paladin.

Speaker 6 (01:36:40):
You can thank Laurie.

Speaker 41 (01:36:42):
Laurie.

Speaker 6 (01:36:42):
She sent me the telegram.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
I've forgotten about the wire. Oh oh, Laurie, Poor Laurie.

Speaker 6 (01:36:55):
Why do you say that she must never know?

Speaker 5 (01:36:58):
Paladin Boone was her father?

Speaker 6 (01:37:04):
Her father?

Speaker 5 (01:37:05):
Yes, Boone left her mother before Laurie was born. Her
mother gave me a picture of him before she died,
told me to destroy it so that Laurie would never
see it. I kept the picture for a while. It
wasn't until after I had fallen in love with Boone
that I remembered to get rid of it. I hardly
recognized him from the photograph at first.

Speaker 18 (01:37:25):
The years had.

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
Changed him so much, but I knew it was he.

Speaker 6 (01:37:29):
Did you ask him about him?

Speaker 5 (01:37:30):
Yes, but he denied everything, said he was never married,
never knew Laurie's mother. After that, he started showing his
hatred for the child. I realized then what kind of
a man he really was, But it was too late
to do anything about it. And Loa, I'd better go
in and tell her what's happened. Don't let her know
about Boone.

Speaker 6 (01:37:50):
Don't worry, Lola, I won't.

Speaker 17 (01:38:11):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:38:12):
Good morning, miss Wong, No.

Speaker 12 (01:38:14):
Miss welcome home?

Speaker 5 (01:38:16):
And you come back last night?

Speaker 6 (01:38:18):
Yes, the stage didn't get into almost midnight.

Speaker 8 (01:38:20):
So you had a nice trip, very nice.

Speaker 20 (01:38:23):
Oh please excuse miss Wang.

Speaker 8 (01:38:27):
I will be back to finish making.

Speaker 5 (01:38:28):
A few bed in a few minutes.

Speaker 31 (01:38:30):
Where are you going to get another girl to help?

Speaker 8 (01:38:32):
Miss Wang?

Speaker 5 (01:38:34):
When I bend over to make up bed, my head
become very dizzy.

Speaker 6 (01:38:39):
Something wrong? Don't you feel all right?

Speaker 28 (01:38:41):
I think so?

Speaker 29 (01:38:42):
But Miss Wog's head is all filled with champagne.

Speaker 6 (01:38:47):
Champagne.

Speaker 9 (01:38:48):
Sah.

Speaker 5 (01:38:49):
We have a big birthday.

Speaker 29 (01:38:50):
Party for honorable Land.

Speaker 5 (01:38:51):
Last night, miss Wong doing too much champagne.

Speaker 6 (01:38:55):
Oh oh, that's bad. Was hey boy at the party?
And how does he feel this morning? I did not
know he not come to work yet. Oh oh, he

Speaker 1 (01:43:09):
Civil defense is common sense. This is Pat boone. In
case of enemy attack, you must know your warning signals.
A steady blast of three to five minutes means junior
radio dial to six forty or twelve forty, a three
minute wavering tone, or a series of short blasts, take
cover immediately.

Speaker 7 (01:43:31):
You know, of all these people that we've heard from
today on civil defense, Pat Boon, I think is the
only one that's still with us. Really, Yeah, I just
thought i'd mentioned it. Let's listen to the fu Yes,
the few an episode of gun Spoke. This goes back
seventy one years September twentieth, nineteen fifty four.

Speaker 56 (01:44:02):
Gun Smoke brought to you by Chesterpiel, America's most popular
two way cigarette. What a pair Chesterfield King Size at

US Marshall and the Smell of Gun Smoke, Guns Smoke,

(01:44:47):
starring William Conrad transcrub story of the violence that moved
west with Young America and the story of a man who.

Speaker 6 (01:44:55):
Moved with it.

Speaker 51 (01:44:57):
I'm that man, Matt dyllon United States marsh the first
man they look for and the last they want to meet.

Speaker 26 (01:45:04):
It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful
and a little lonely.

Speaker 49 (01:45:41):
Mister Dylan Chester, I sure, I am glad you go back.

Speaker 26 (01:45:48):
I've only been gone a couple of hours. Well, that's all.

Speaker 31 (01:45:50):
It takes a couple of hours. Only Becker's been shot.

Speaker 26 (01:45:53):
Huh, only Becker.

Speaker 31 (01:45:55):
You know, I'm that little side buster lives out near
a clear spring.

Speaker 26 (01:45:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's up at doctor You on scene? Yeah,
well tell me about it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:03):
Chester.

Speaker 49 (01:46:03):
That's all I know is he was gambling this morning,
or at the Texas Trail. He left there a little
afternoon and then from palastanding laying in an alley with.

Speaker 31 (01:46:10):
A bullet in him.

Speaker 26 (01:46:11):
We can't he talk, no shirt.

Speaker 31 (01:46:13):
He'd been unconscious the whole time. But Doc working on
him in here.

Speaker 6 (01:46:19):
Oh, oh, hell on man, how is he? Doc?

Speaker 20 (01:46:24):
He's dead?

Speaker 26 (01:46:25):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:46:26):
About ten minutes ago.

Speaker 26 (01:46:28):
Uh, I made Becker. Now, who'da shot a harmless little
man like that?

Speaker 6 (01:46:35):
Harmless is right?

Speaker 14 (01:46:37):
He didn't even have a pocket knife on him. And besides,
he was shot in the back.

Speaker 31 (01:46:41):
Maybe it was an accident of some kind.

Speaker 6 (01:46:44):
Accident, Chester.

Speaker 57 (01:46:46):
I once tried to save a man who pulled a
side across the back of his neck by accident. Yes,
and I remember a boy who fell between the slats
of a fence and got home. But I never heard
of a man shooting himself in the back by accidents.

Speaker 31 (01:46:58):
Well, I meant maybe somebody else.

Speaker 14 (01:47:00):
Of course, somebody else did it.

Speaker 26 (01:47:02):
I know that I'm in by.

Speaker 14 (01:47:03):
Miss dog Chester.

Speaker 41 (01:47:06):
Chester.

Speaker 57 (01:47:07):
Are you sure you've been keeping your hat on when
you're walking around in the sun?

Speaker 31 (01:47:11):
Oh, you're just mad, Becauzoni.

Speaker 14 (01:47:12):
Becker died on It was nothing I could do to
save him. He bled to death inside.

Speaker 26 (01:47:17):
Oh you didn't want you cut duck?

Speaker 6 (01:47:18):
Yeah, that's well I did.

Speaker 26 (01:47:21):
I ain't say anything anything at all, No, mad.

Speaker 6 (01:47:24):
He never even opened his eyes.

Speaker 26 (01:47:27):
He was shot in the back. So it wasn't anybody
he was fighting with.

Speaker 49 (01:47:30):
Well, I don't know, mister doing only was fighting, or
at least having an argument over a card this morning
with that gambler?

Speaker 31 (01:47:37):
What your name? Al Clovis? Or the Texas Trail?

Speaker 40 (01:47:40):
He was?

Speaker 18 (01:47:41):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:47:41):
I didn't just say so before Chester?

Speaker 14 (01:47:43):
I never heard of this al Clovis.

Speaker 26 (01:47:46):
Oh, he's only been here about a week. Duck Chester.
You wait here, I'm going over the Texas Trail?

Speaker 9 (01:48:20):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:48:22):
Is that you?

Speaker 26 (01:48:23):
Whoa?

Speaker 6 (01:48:24):
Hello Marshall? Hello?

Speaker 18 (01:48:26):
John?

Speaker 5 (01:48:30):
Looking for somebody?

Speaker 28 (01:48:31):
Matt?

Speaker 18 (01:48:31):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:48:31):
Hi you Kitty?

Speaker 18 (01:48:32):
Uh?

Speaker 26 (01:48:33):
Is al Clovis here?

Speaker 14 (01:48:35):
I was wondering when you'd get around him?

Speaker 26 (01:48:37):
What do you mean?

Speaker 37 (01:48:37):
And al Clovis threatened him this noon just before I
only went out and got shot. Almost seemed like al
was trying to start a fight with him.

Speaker 26 (01:48:44):
That Where was Clovis when that happened?

Speaker 6 (01:48:46):
Kitty wasn't in here?

Speaker 26 (01:48:49):
Kitty, you know our Clovis better than I do.

Speaker 51 (01:48:51):
Would you say he's the kind of a man who
would murder Ody Becker because of an argument over cards?

Speaker 26 (01:48:57):
You know, shoot him in the back. I don't know
him that well, Matt, Well, maybe he had another reason
to kill him if he did it.

Speaker 37 (01:49:04):
Shooting a little loney Beckers like shooting a pet deer,
makes about as much sense.

Speaker 26 (01:49:09):
Yeah, But usually when a man gets murdered as a
reason of some kind for it.

Speaker 37 (01:49:14):
You mean it to take more than plain anger to
follow a man down an alley and shoot him in
the back ordin early it would, Oh, Clovis must have
wanted only dead for some special reason, Matt. Maybe he
only had something on him. Yeah, maybe he was in
here a while ago, but he left.

Speaker 26 (01:49:31):
Well, I'll find him.

Speaker 37 (01:49:32):
He might be at the depot, Matt. At the depot,
he said something about going to Saint Louis. Now everything's
been taken care of here. I didn't know what he
meant at the time, but he said it loud, and
I know the train leaves.

Speaker 6 (01:49:42):
At four thirty.

Speaker 26 (01:49:43):
Four thirty.

Speaker 6 (01:49:44):
That's about that.

Speaker 14 (01:49:45):
Now, Maybe he said it just to throw you off
his trail.

Speaker 26 (01:49:48):
And I'll find out. I'll see you later. Kidding, You
got a hurry, Mat.

Speaker 56 (01:50:07):
This is George Fennamon. In choosing your cigarette, be sure
to remember this. You will like Chesterfield best because only
Chesterfield has the right combination of the world's best tobaccos.

for you. You and I smoke for relaxation, for comfort,

(01:50:31):

Speaker 6 (01:50:35):
No cigarette satisfies like a Chesterfield.

Speaker 19 (01:50:50):

Speaker 46 (01:50:52):
The best smoke ever made's the Chesterfield you buy today.

Speaker 4 (01:50:56):
Smoker's coast to coasts are changing. It's the sense to do.

Speaker 26 (01:51:00):
Here's all you have to say to get the one
that's best for you.

Speaker 6 (01:51:03):
Chester feels for me.

Speaker 39 (01:51:05):

Speaker 26 (01:51:07):
You just say it.

Speaker 6 (01:51:09):

Speaker 31 (01:51:39):
One more card, go, mister Jones, fout. Clovis ain't in there.
He ain't on this train.

Speaker 26 (01:51:44):
He might have fooled us after Rochester.

Speaker 49 (01:51:48):
He could be right and west while we're heading these
We'll never find him here.

Speaker 26 (01:51:53):
Let's take a look into this car before we walk in. Huh, sir, Oh,
I'm sure I don't see him.

Speaker 27 (01:52:00):
Not in there.

Speaker 31 (01:52:01):
I don't.

Speaker 51 (01:52:02):
Yeah, unless that's him down there, lying back with his
hat welled over his face. It could be all that
better be now, come on, okatri, Hey, wake up, mister.

Speaker 6 (01:52:28):
Come on, come on, wake up quick.

Speaker 22 (01:52:30):
Brother.

Speaker 51 (01:52:31):
What do you want here?

Speaker 6 (01:52:35):
Marshall Dillon, what are you doing here?

Speaker 26 (01:52:38):
Keep your hands on your knees, Clovis tight.

Speaker 17 (01:52:41):
Wha what's it all about?

Speaker 26 (01:52:43):
You're carrying a gun.

Speaker 17 (01:52:44):
Why should I carry a gun?

Speaker 26 (01:52:46):
Stand up, Clobas, come on, stand up?

Speaker 14 (01:52:49):
Okay?

Speaker 27 (01:52:52):
What for?

Speaker 26 (01:52:53):
All right? Search him Chester now, keep the one side
of him out of my way.

Speaker 31 (01:52:59):
Don't you try not Clovie?

Speaker 9 (01:53:00):
Why should I told you?

Speaker 17 (01:53:02):
It wasn't arm Ain't nothing on him?

Speaker 26 (01:53:05):
All right, Okay, you can sit down.

Speaker 6 (01:53:08):
Clovis.

Speaker 17 (01:53:11):
I don't understand this, Marshall.

Speaker 5 (01:53:13):
What are you looking for?

Speaker 26 (01:53:15):
I'm looking for the man who murdered on a Becker
this afternoon.

Speaker 51 (01:53:19):
You mean you.

Speaker 17 (01:53:20):
Followed me and got on this train because you thought
I killed Only it's.

Speaker 51 (01:53:24):
About one hundred miles to Great ben Clovis. We'll get
off there and take tomorrow's train back to Dutch.

Speaker 6 (01:53:30):
You're making a big mistake, Marshall. While you were riding
up and down on this railroad. Whoever did kill Ony
Becker's leaving the country for good. You'll never catch him now.

Speaker 26 (01:53:40):
What you're trying to say is that you don't admit
killing in yourself.

Speaker 17 (01:53:43):
And I'm not a murderer, Marshall.

Speaker 26 (01:53:47):
No, we'll see.

Speaker 17 (01:53:49):
Oh I know what Jersey you heard Onie and I
had a little.

Speaker 6 (01:53:52):
Argument this morning, didn't you.

Speaker 17 (01:53:54):
I'm sure that doesn't prove anything. Argue with lots of men.

Speaker 26 (01:53:58):
You're threatened to kill him.

Speaker 6 (01:54:00):
I was just to scare him. He was being kind
of stubborn about it. Or you know what those farmers
are like. I suppose it takes a stubborn man to
grow potatoes.

Speaker 51 (01:54:09):
If you're so innocent, why didn't you announce everything had
been taken care of and that you were going to
Saint Louis?

Speaker 26 (01:54:14):
Did I say that?

Speaker 6 (01:54:15):
Marshall?

Speaker 26 (01:54:18):
You know clubs. I can always kick you on my
head and take you back to Dodge on a sack. Now,
why did you run?

Speaker 17 (01:54:27):
I'm not running, no reason why I should.

Speaker 6 (01:54:30):
That's the truth, Marshall.

Speaker 26 (01:54:32):
Where were you when Annie Becker was killed?

Speaker 6 (01:54:35):
I was wondering when you asked me that.

Speaker 26 (01:54:37):
I suppose you got an alibi.

Speaker 17 (01:54:39):
You know mister Bodkin, don't you, Marshall?

Speaker 26 (01:54:42):
I ought to Buckins run the Dodge bank ever since
it was an old whiskey barrel.

Speaker 6 (01:54:46):
Well.

Speaker 17 (01:54:46):
I was with him in his office at the bank.

Speaker 6 (01:54:48):
Marshall. I suppose you'll take his word for it, Yeah,
sure I will. Well, we were discussing the money I
placed in the bank when I arrived in Dodge week ago,
five thousand dollars. Marshall, ja Bodkin is gonna transferred to
Saint Louis for me.

Speaker 51 (01:55:03):
Chester, Sir, go out and tell the engineer to stop
the train at Chain's crossing.

Speaker 31 (01:55:08):
Stop the train.

Speaker 26 (01:55:09):
There's a ranch about a mile from there where we
can borrow some horses.

Speaker 17 (01:55:12):
I thought you said we're spending the night at Great Bend, Marshall.

Speaker 26 (01:55:15):
I changed my mind.

Speaker 6 (01:55:16):
Clothes.

Speaker 51 (01:55:17):
Your story doesn't make much sense, and I want to
get back to Dodge and find out why.

Speaker 31 (01:55:41):
It must be about midnight, sure is, and I'm tired.

Speaker 6 (01:55:45):
I'm on a horse and he oh, well.

Speaker 31 (01:55:47):
Why didn't you say so close? We have borrowed the
wagon for you.

Speaker 51 (01:55:51):
Never mind, Chester, Now you take him on down to
the jail and lock him up. I'm gonna stop here
at mister Bodkin's house, his lights still on us.

Speaker 6 (01:55:59):
Want me to go in with Marshall.

Speaker 51 (01:56:00):
I'll let you know what he has to say. Clovis,
I'll be along a little while, said where's it, Matt Dylan,

(01:56:31):
mister Buckin.

Speaker 17 (01:56:32):
Uh well, Marshall, come in, come in.

Speaker 51 (01:56:39):
I wouldn't have bothered you this late mister Buckan. But
I saw your light was on and I figured you
were still up.

Speaker 6 (01:56:44):
Of course I'm up. How could I sleep tonight?

Speaker 26 (01:56:48):
Why?

Speaker 6 (01:56:49):
What's wrong?

Speaker 58 (01:56:49):
Where have you been?

Speaker 31 (01:56:50):
Marshall?

Speaker 58 (01:56:51):
The whole town of Dodge has been looking for you.
Find time for you to be up riding off somewheres.

Speaker 6 (01:56:56):
I must say, we'll tell me what happened?

Speaker 31 (01:56:58):
What happened?

Speaker 39 (01:56:59):
Don't you know even yet?

Speaker 17 (01:57:00):
What are you doing here at my house?

Speaker 26 (01:57:02):
Well, you'll calm down, I'll tell you.

Speaker 20 (01:57:03):
You tell me.

Speaker 6 (01:57:04):
I'd better tell you, Marshall.

Speaker 58 (01:57:06):
Well, you're out gallivanting around on the prairie Somewhere's My
bank was held up? What about five o'clock, just as
we were closing three men that got away with over
twenty five thousand dollars every cent of cash. I hadn't
a vault, Marshall.

Speaker 26 (01:57:22):
Oh, didn't anybody try to follow them?

Speaker 18 (01:57:24):
No?

Speaker 58 (01:57:24):
They tied me and the cashiers up to tight. They
were miles out of town before we could get loose
because a few men saw them leave, but they were
afraid to do anything about it.

Speaker 6 (01:57:33):
And of course the United States. Marshall, he wasn't even
in town.

Speaker 26 (01:57:39):
You gotta look at him.

Speaker 17 (01:57:40):
No, no, they were matched.

Speaker 58 (01:57:43):
Nobody I found can even identify their horses. They had
just gone Marshall with twenty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 51 (01:57:53):
Luck, mister back, and I came here to ask you
a question. It might have something to do with your
bank being robbed. Oh, well, what is what's out clothes
with you in your office about noon today?

Speaker 6 (01:58:05):
Close?

Speaker 31 (01:58:07):
Yes, he was for a couple of hours.

Speaker 26 (01:58:08):
Why he had some money on deposit.

Speaker 58 (01:58:11):
Eh that five thousand dollars cash. Of course that's gone too,
That's part of the money they took. I'm afraid Clothes
just broke now, along with me and a lot of
other people.

Speaker 26 (01:58:23):
Maybe he isn't as broke as you think.

Speaker 58 (01:58:24):
Oh, he's broke unless you can get that money back more.

Speaker 51 (01:58:28):
Look, I got an idea I might find it for you,
mister Buckin, And it won't take very long either.

Speaker 31 (01:58:52):
Well, I got clothes all locked up, mister Dyllan.

Speaker 49 (01:58:54):
He won't be taking no more trains for a while. God,
why'd you find out for mister Buckkin?

Speaker 51 (01:59:00):
And I'll tell you in Clovis at the same time, Chester, Well,
he's writing in the first twn. Well, Marshall, come to
turn me loose, mister Budkins says your alibi is good.

Speaker 6 (01:59:17):
Clovis. If you don't believed me in the first place,
you'd have saved us all a lot of trouble. Yeah, well,
let me out. I don't want to spend the night here.

Speaker 51 (01:59:29):
You better got used to it, Clovis. You're gonna be
spending a lot of nights in here, what at least
a month.

Speaker 26 (01:59:35):
Or two of them.

Speaker 6 (01:59:36):
No, they can't keep me here, Marshall. What's illegal?

Speaker 5 (01:59:39):
Is it?

Speaker 26 (01:59:40):
Of course it is?

Speaker 51 (01:59:41):
Well, maybe you know more about the law than I do, Clovis,
but I run this jail, and you're gonna stay here
a long time now. Once morning, I'm gonna tell the
whole town why you are come Manchester, Marshall.

Speaker 26 (01:59:51):
Like the man.

Speaker 17 (01:59:51):
If you released it once, I'll come back here. You're
costing your job just over here.

Speaker 6 (01:59:56):
Shut the door, Chester, you'd.

Speaker 31 (02:00:01):
Are you really gonna keep him locked up? Mister Dylan?
I am, But he ain't done nothing. I mean if
mister Buckkins.

Speaker 26 (02:00:07):
Said he is with him, Oh, Clovis didn't call Onnate Becker.

Speaker 31 (02:00:10):
If that's what you mean, well then why don't you
turn him loose?

Speaker 26 (02:00:13):
Chester?

Speaker 51 (02:00:13):
The bank was robbed at twenty five thousand dollars today.
It was yeah, just after we got on the train.
Looks to me like one becker was murdered just to
get me to follow out Clovis out of town. We'll
find out in a few minutes. I don't think Clovis
can stand the idea of sitting in jail while his
partner's ride off with all that money.

Speaker 49 (02:00:34):
You mean he was supposed to get out of here
and meet them as soon as his alibi was made good.

Speaker 26 (02:00:39):
Huh, that's the what makes sense to me, Marshall.

Speaker 17 (02:00:44):
Marshall Dylon, No.

Speaker 51 (02:00:48):
That didn't take as long as I thought. Come on,
mar Shall, I gotta talk to you all right, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (02:01:04):
You really gonna keep me in jail here? You mean
then that's all you want it?

Speaker 26 (02:01:10):
Don't bother me again.

Speaker 6 (02:01:12):
Don't go, Marshall, what do you want? Then?

Speaker 26 (02:01:13):
It's late, Clovis.

Speaker 6 (02:01:14):
I want to get to bed, eh, Marshall, I'm a kid.
Deal about what if I help you get back whatever
was stolen from the bank today? Can I keep my
five thousand out of it?

Speaker 26 (02:01:30):
How did you know the bank was robbed?

Speaker 6 (02:01:32):
Clovis. You're a smart Marshall. I can tell you got
this all figured. Holding me in jail and all. But
I'm smart too. I have smart enough to know you
need me as much as I need you. You'll never
find those men without me, Marshall. But I can take
you to where they are, and I'll identify them for you.

(02:01:53):
Why all I want out of it is my five
thousand dollars. Now that's mine. You can do what you
like with it.

Speaker 26 (02:02:00):
Card will have to decide about your five thousand, not me.

Speaker 6 (02:02:04):
Well you think there's a chance I might get it?
And I don't know.

Speaker 26 (02:02:08):
But you're a gambler, aren't you.

Speaker 6 (02:02:11):
You'll help my showing you where they are? Worn, Yeah,
it'll help. Okay. I'm supposed to meet them tonight or
early tomorrow, Marshall. They won't wait longer than that, all right?
Who I like? We they're not friends of mine, Marshall.
I never saw him before two weeks ago in Saint Louis,
and they're all hiding behind summer names.

Speaker 26 (02:02:31):
How fast away the meeting place?

Speaker 6 (02:02:33):
Hey, it's an old cabin about twenty miles from here.

Speaker 26 (02:02:36):

Speaker 56 (02:03:16):
One way cigarettes one size that is are almost obsolete
because they just don't give smokers what they want either way.
You'll like Chesterfield best. It's America's most popular two way
cigarette because only Chesterfield gives you the right combination of
the world's best tobaccos, Tobaccos that are highest in quality,

(02:03:39):
low in nicotine, best for you. You and I smoke
for relaxation, for comfort, for satisfaction, and in the whole
wide world, no cigarette satisfies like a Chesterfield. You smoke
with the greatest possible pleasure when your cigarette is Chesterfield. Yes,

(02:04:00):
these six words highest in quality, low in nicotine mean
Chesterfield is best for you.

Speaker 6 (02:04:08):
Get a carton of Chesterfield.

Speaker 56 (02:04:10):
Chesterfield Regular Chesterfield King Sign, both at the same price.

Speaker 6 (02:04:15):

You're sure you can find this. Cavin Clovis, I made
the Riot Hodder one night just to be sure.

Speaker 6 (02:04:49):

Speaker 31 (02:04:50):

scudded up with cloud.

Speaker 26 (02:04:55):
Chester You still don't understand that if you can see
them they can see you.

Speaker 31 (02:04:59):

Speaker 26 (02:05:18):
That's the matter, Cluvius. You're getting scared.

Speaker 27 (02:05:22):
You know what they.

Speaker 6 (02:05:24):
What they'll do to me if you don't take them. Marshall.

Speaker 26 (02:05:28):
And like I said, you're a gambler.

Speaker 6 (02:05:30):
Aren't you. Look Why don't you give me a gun?

Speaker 26 (02:05:33):
I'll help you well manage.

Speaker 6 (02:05:35):
You can trust me, Marshall. I'm on your side, love us.

Speaker 26 (02:05:38):
I wouldn't trust a man like you if you were
in church praying.

Mister Dylan ain't exactly green at this game.

Speaker 6 (02:06:32):
Clovis. They wouldn't kill me, it'd burn me or something. First.

Speaker 31 (02:07:39):
Donder Clovis, you'll be here in a different kind when
mister Dylan gets back here.

Speaker 6 (02:07:43):
He's not coming back here. We're going to him. And
if you shoot, anybody will be you, because you're going
to be right in front of me like this. All right,

You heard the marshall. I'll kill him. Sure if you try.

Speaker 6 (02:08:49):
Anything, ain't close enough.

Speaker 31 (02:08:51):
I tell you, he'd probably clear up there at the cabin.

Speaker 6 (02:08:53):
Okay, I'm gonna start walking Chester straight ahead, and so

give up unless he wants you dead. Chester.

Speaker 51 (02:09:44):
I don't say anything. Let's try to find our horses.
We'll get Clovis later.

Speaker 31 (02:09:51):

Speaker 43 (02:10:17):
Huh yeah, sure, that's about the way it happened. It's Dylan,
you should let him take you into that cabin. And
they'd had killed me, but you could have got them.
They wouldn't have got away like they did.

Speaker 26 (02:10:32):
I know, I was close enough to hear what clothes said.

Speaker 31 (02:10:35):
Well, then why did you save me? Everything'd have been okay?

Mine, What a terrible mess?

Speaker 26 (02:11:00):
Was my choice Chester, not yours?

Speaker 31 (02:11:05):
Yes, thank you, mister Dolan, mister Doon, would you like
to poorhound drops?

Speaker 56 (02:11:41):
Ell and M filters are sweeping the country, and the
reason simple. No filter compares with L and m's exclusive
Miracle tip for quality or for effectiveness, and notice how
easy it draws. You get much more flavor, much less nicotine. Yes,
only Ellen M gives you effective filtration, and no other

(02:12:03):
cigarette has it. Our statement of quality goes unchallenged. L
and M is America's highest quality and best filter tip
cigarette by L and m's now King size or regular
both at the same low price.

Speaker 60 (02:12:30):
Gun Smoke, produced and directed by Norman McDonald, stars William

Chesterfield will bring you another transcribed story of the Western
Frontier on gun Smoke.

Speaker 6 (02:13:15):
This is the CBS Radio Network.

Speaker 7 (02:13:28):
From Monday, September twentieth, nineteen fifty four. Gun Smoke. On
that same Monday night, you also got to hear Bibber
McGhee and Molly.

Speaker 25 (02:13:44):
Civil Defense is common sense. This is Fred McMurray. Home
shelters can be built for as little as one hundred dollars.
Simple plans for building inexpensive home shelters are available free
from your Civil Defense office. Ask for a copy of
the Family Fallout shelter booklet.

Speaker 7 (02:13:59):
And you'll get to hear at McMurray on Tuesday's Classic
Radio Theater with Wyatt Talks. For right now, we'll hear
from a Monday night what it was like in Wistful
Vista seventy nine. To be precise, with Fiber McGee and Mollie.

Speaker 9 (02:14:13):
It's time for Fiber McGhee and Mollie.

Speaker 55 (02:14:23):
Sundays through Thursdays, NBC brings you Fibber McGhee and Molly Transcribe.
The show is written by Phil Leslie and Lenn Levinson
and directed by Max Huddle. We'll join Fiber and Mally
in just a moment. Vacation days are over for America's

(02:14:45):
millions of school children, or so many parents think. The
actual truth is most of these youngsters are beginning a
part time vacation. For generally speaking, our public school system
is in such sad condition that it can offer only
a part time education to these children. The nation is
short some three hundred and forty five thousand classrooms this fall,
which means three out of every five classrooms are overcrowded.

(02:15:08):
We need one hundred eighteen thousand new elementary teachers to
take care of the increased enrollment and to replace teachers
leaving the profession. Obviously, nothing will be done unless parents
and citizens generally take an active interest in bettering the
existing conditions. The National Citizens Commission for Public Schools was
founded to encourage such interest and to help people transform

(02:15:29):
interest into constructive action for improving our schools. For guidance
from this Commission, and for free material on what's being
done in other communities, write better Schools to West forty
fifth Street, New York City. Ever, fall heir to a

(02:15:52):
windfall so small you didn't know what to do with it. Well,
that seems to be the current problem of Fibermagee and.

Speaker 20 (02:15:58):
Mali dollars eighty eight cents for eighty eight a fine
tax refund on all the money I poured into that
federal government.

Speaker 3 (02:16:08):
Well, I know you were expecting more, but there's no
old saying I just made up. It's better than a
poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Speaker 20 (02:16:15):
Well, there's no use setting up a trust fund, or
going into business or finding my retirement with four eighty eight, kiddle,
we might as well live it up.

Speaker 3 (02:16:22):
That's for me. What did you have in mind?

Speaker 20 (02:16:24):
A little surprise, kittle, I'm gonna take you out to dinner.

Speaker 3 (02:16:27):
Wonderful, I'm your girl.

Dig you out for that swell tuc buffet dinner they

shoe polish?

Speaker 3 (02:16:43):
Sandpaper and shoe polish. What are you gonna do with
that combination?

Speaker 20 (02:16:46):
Spruce myself up for dinner? What else gonna take the

Oh I'm sorry, monsieur.

Speaker 20 (02:17:45):
What's the matter you're saving for somebody else? Well, I'll

I would like to blige you, sir, bet I really cannot.

Speaker 20 (02:17:59):
Oh, so you cannot.

And if you're gonna be stubborn about it, but we'll
talk to the boss. Who's the boss of this joint?

Speaker 41 (02:18:07):

the counter orders. The waiters they have the union.

Speaker 18 (02:23:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (02:23:00):
I can't eat those things. If I hadn't known what
it was, why look at it four Measley frog's legs
five bucks one frog? Hey, nader or a hare?

Speaker 12 (02:23:11):
Sure?

Speaker 41 (02:23:11):
Please?

Speaker 26 (02:23:12):
What is wrong?

Speaker 20 (02:23:13):
This is what is wrong?

Speaker 14 (02:23:14):
We oh, bet you haven't touched it.

Speaker 20 (02:23:16):
And what's more, I don't intend to look at the
size of that order. Five bucks from one frog. I
can't swallow that.

Speaker 14 (02:23:23):
No, no, monsieur, you're wrong. Only the ant legs are used.
There two frogs there.

Speaker 20 (02:23:27):
It's still exorbitory. Don't tell me frog's legs has jumped
that high.

Speaker 12 (02:23:31):
I do no, monsieur.

Speaker 14 (02:23:32):
The chef he sets the prices. Should I say him
for him?

Speaker 20 (02:23:36):
No, we'll go to him. Which way is the kitchen downstairs? Hey, well,
come on, Molly, let's get to the bottom of this.

Speaker 40 (02:23:55):
But I tell you, five dollars is most reasonable for
frog's legs.

Speaker 20 (02:23:58):
For them little things out as much meat on them
as a chicken wing.

Speaker 52 (02:24:01):
But it is a great delicacy, fresh green Wye. They
are so hard to find, hard to fine. What did
you hear that, Molly?

Speaker 3 (02:24:08):
Frankly, I'm no expert on the subject.

Speaker 20 (02:24:10):
You don't have to be an expert. You know that's
swamp near the south end of Dugan's Lake. Why it's
got a thousand frogs? In there, a thousand, more likely
a million. Why at the rate you sell them for,
that's five million bucks worth of frogs there for the picking.

Speaker 52 (02:24:22):
Maybe, But I am a chef, not a frog picker.
You bring them to me, I will pay you very well. Yes,
for every pound of fresh frogs legs, I will give
you a dollar and a quarter. But they must be fresh.

Speaker 20 (02:24:33):
Probably lots of kids who'd be glad to go out
and a dollar and a quarter.

Speaker 3 (02:24:36):
A pounds, you said, Micky, what are you thinking about?

Speaker 32 (02:24:39):
Heck?

Speaker 26 (02:24:40):
Why?

Speaker 20 (02:24:40):
But I can go out there just one night and
bring back one hundred, one hundred and fifty pounds of frogs.

Speaker 40 (02:24:44):
Then you will make up to two hundred dollars and
I can use that much every week.

Speaker 20 (02:24:48):
You just made yourself a deal. Cheffy, Come on, Molly,
let's go home so I can get ready for this
frog hunting expedition.

Speaker 3 (02:24:53):
What about our dinners out there? You're stuck for ten
dollars whether we eat those frog legs or not. And
I can't eat them either.

Speaker 20 (02:25:00):
I'm not paying for something like hmm made or d
standing right by our table with the check any yes
and a suspicious look, I'll handle this, old chef before
we go.

Speaker 26 (02:25:13):
Yes, what is it?

Speaker 20 (02:25:14):
Kind of an odd ball made? Or d you got
out there? He claimed you'd get sore if we came
out in the kitchen here. In fact, he claimed the
hotel charges admission just to let people come out here
in the kitchen to look at the chef.

Speaker 9 (02:25:25):
What that is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (02:25:27):
I didn't hear him say.

Speaker 20 (02:25:28):
Yeah, that's what he said. I guess he figured that'd
keep us out. Chef, would you mind hollering out to
him and telling him not to earth that crazy ree
and re yes? Omo, these people, what do you mean
there would be a charge.

Speaker 4 (02:25:41):
For this charge?

Speaker 14 (02:25:43):
You mean we do not chuck?

Speaker 20 (02:25:46):
No charge on raingulous?

Speaker 3 (02:25:49):
You say so heavenly days if that isn't the slickest well.

Speaker 20 (02:25:52):
In fact, chef, I'll see you want to get the
frogs lined up. I will be waiting tear up the
check on Rie. You heard him? No charge, garsan my sombrero,
missus McGhee, my arm, come my dear, leave us party.

Speaker 55 (02:26:15):

Speaker 3 (02:27:23):
Micgee, turn out the light so I can go to sleep.

Speaker 20 (02:27:25):
As soon as I finished figuring, boy, this frog hunting
is too valuable racket to pass out. Oh no, oh yeah,
why that chef at the risk Mista will take two
hundred dollars worth of week. There must be hundreds of
high class places all over the US which I can
shift to. Well, I bet I could sell fifteen twenty
thousand frogs a week. No, I'm worried.

Speaker 3 (02:27:43):
What are you worried about?

Speaker 18 (02:27:44):
Now?

Speaker 31 (02:27:45):
Scared?

Speaker 20 (02:27:45):
I may run out of frog Ah.
