(01:03):
Did you notice anything unusual about this newspaper when you
brought it in?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Somebody has clipped an article out of the personals column.

that on March fourteenth, eighteen seventy five, in the town
of Bedrock, one Paladin, resident of the Carton Hotel in
San Francisco, will be shot and killed by Bartolo who
this man I had n't sent to prison sever years ago.
(01:52):
Apparently he's been released.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Will you not go please? And he's sound like very
dangerous man.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh well, I'll have to take a first stage. Will
you help me pack this one. Constipation is something people
(02:20):
don't talk about much, but it 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 well. 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,
(02:43):
and the medicine that can be used with complete confidence.
Now x lax has been popular with many doctors and
millions of people over the years because pleasant tasting chocolate,
A x lax is effective overnight, it helps you toward
your normal regularity. X lax is gentle next morning, it
gives you the closest thing to natural action, and that's
(03:04):
why many doctors and millions of people use x lax
with complete confidence. X lax. The laxative that helps you
toward your normal regularity gently overnight is x lax in
your medicine cabinet. Bartolo te Hada was a man to
(03:27):
be reckoned with. I had caused him to be sent
to the territory of prison of Huma So eight years
before for killing five people in the stage hold up
It was a lengthy, rowdy trial, and the moment his
sentence was pronounced, Tehada had risen slowly from his chair and,
glowering blackly at me, announced that he would someday kill
Senor Paladin. Bed Rock was on the east side of
(03:49):
the Tahachipes, halfway between San Francisco and Yuma. I arrived
there on the thirteenth of March, the day before my
scheduled death. Huh you are, mister Peladin. Yes, and I
am Arthur Jensen. I am any Queen's Hotel here in Bedrock,
mister Peladin. I had your rooms ready and waiting for you.

didn't order any, but I have your letter right here
in my pocket. See yeah, I see. He's very plain.
You were aching for a suit of rooms at the
Queen's Hotel, and it's your signature, mister Jensen. He is.
If I had wanted a suit of rooms and Bedrock,
(04:33):
I'm sure I would have chosen your hotel. Shall we go, Yes, sir.
My suit of rooms at the Queen's Hotel consisted of
one large room fronting on the main street. Besides the
usual ornate chair and the table. There was a gigantic bed,
for which I was very thankful. I wanted to face
March fourteenth with a clear head in the night of
(04:55):
sound asleep behind me. I had been asleep for what
seemed to be hours when suddenly I was awakened by
sounds from the street below.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Even though I knew that the Hada and his men
were staying at the same hotel and that I would
have to face him the next day. I managed to
get a good night's sleep. In the morning, I found
mister Jensen at the desk downstairs, and he told me
that the hata was still in his room. So I
went into the dining room and enjoyed a quiet breakfast alone.
At least it was quiet until I felt the cold
steel of a gun muzzle against the nape of my neck. No,

were staying at the same hotel and that I would

get a good night's sleep. In the morning, I found
mister Jensen at the desk downstairs, and he told me
that the hata was still in his room. So I
went into the dining room and enjoyed a quiet breakfast alone.
At least it was quiet until I felt the cold
steel of a gun muzzle against the nape of my neck. No,
