From all of the past, comethe thundering hoof beats of the great
horse Silver. The Lone Ranger ridesagain Moon Silver. So Dan Read,

(02:36):
teenage nephew of the Lone Ranger,left the general store in Hayville early one
morning with supplies and walked toward thehitch rack. Suddenly he was startled by
shouts and guns. Guns, theninstinctively took cover behind a nearby water and
frost as several mask men ran totheir horses as ten parts to avoid being

(02:58):
hit. He saw a bullet thelatter heel of one of the outlaws boots
just before the man mounted. Amoment later, the Cook's raced from town.
All right, can't yes, sir, when you're lucky? A horse

a low razor and tunnel bot collector. When Dan arrived at camp, he
told the Lone Ranger and Toto aboutthe robbery. Dan also mentioned the bullet
mark on one of the outlaws boothheeels. Then the Lone Ranger and Toto

(03:43):
left to find the outlaws trail.Meantime, after leaving town, the members
of the gang separated and each coveredhis trail carefully. Around noon, they
arrived one by one at a smallfarmhouse a few miles from town. A
small, wiry Mexican woman hovered aboutthe table what they gathered to eat.
Oh, at last, you're allcompared. That's good. Yeah, we're

(04:05):
all here, Marie. Eh,a bullet make my boot huge. Just
as I was mounting, My footwas numb for quite a while after.
Yeah, you're lucky didn't get youin the foot figures he You are all

the law. Ever since, Ihad been glad to help his friends sing

(04:25):

I don't worry, and men areall mighty good at covering their trails.
Maria, we'll pay you well forputting up with us for a few
days. Way, But tomorrow Imust go for more food. I was

(04:46):
leave unusual mark, I'm wail tomorrowmorning, Fakers, then it'll be safe
enough to ride to the Black Man. Will I love here today till the
Possi gets tired of hunting? BuckyHooker was right when he said his men
were clever at covering their tracks.The sheriff and his posse lost the trail,

(05:08):
and the lone Ranger and Tottle wereunable to make any headway in their
efforts to follow the outlaws. There'sno use wasting more time. The only
tractually been able to find all dayhave been those left for the posse.
That's right, we'll get down andreturn to camp for the night. Morrow,
we'll search the territory for the possiblehideout. Early the next morning,

(05:35):
before starting out to search for theoutlaws hideout, Toto went to the blacksmith's
on the edge of town to buyhorseshoe nails. When he arrived, the
blacksmith was just finishing with Pacus's horsehorse cut old fire. Toto entered the
shop and stood waiting. Hell thereyou are, mister. Oh good,
here, here's money? Is rightmaking it? Oh? Yes, come

(06:00):
on? Toto glanced after Pakos,says the crook let his horse out into
the sunlight. As Pacos lifted hisleft foot to the stirrup, balancing a
moment on his right, the Indian'seyes caught sight of a deep, newly
made groove on the inside of aman's right bootheel, hey, what do
you want engine? Bring your horseinside me be back maybe see wait a

(06:21):
minute, need work done, I'mnot busy me and hurry get him off
scow. After a two hour wait, the lone ranger became impatient and sent
then to town to find Toto.Meanwhile, Toto, suspicious of a bullet

(06:44):
groove in Pacos's right boot Heeel hadfollowed the crook to the small farmhouse scottold
Funain. He watched as pecos rodeout of sight around the house scouts.
Then leaving Scout among the trees nearby, Toto cautiously made his way through the
brush grown backyard and crouched me windowto look inside. Then reach Indian.
H don't turn around, U,lucky? You tipping me off that this

(07:05):
season was trailing me. Jake,get his gun's fickers and be careful,
right, h yeah, I gothim. I had not turn around red
skin. Uh, hey, Jake, this is the same risk. Can
I sor at the blacksmith shopper willtake him inside and find out why he
trailed me? Get moving engine ofyou. Hey, Bucky looking with fond

(07:31):
snooping outside right? Huh? Whatare you doing here? I can tell
you that Bucky I saw him atthe blacksmith shop. He trailed me here?
Why did you trail him? Indianspeak up? Oh? What holy
smoke? What's at me? Meanshe can't speak English? I reckon take
him out to the barn and tiehim up. Marie understands some of the

(07:54):
Indian lingo, but she comes backfrom town maybe she'll get him to talk
one way or another. He's goingto be mighty sorry. He followed the
strap. Dan Reid entered town fromthe north. He looked for Toto's horse
along the street, but not seeingScout, the youth rode to the blacksmith's

(08:16):
shop at the south edge of Haybill. He learned from the blacksmith that an
Indian of Toto's description had been there, but had suddenly left to follow another
man on the south trail. Thenleft the shop and stood a moment,
thinking the lone Ranger's camp was afew miles north Toto had gone south.
He quickly decided to follow Toto andfind him. Easy boy call Victor.

(08:50):
Then had gone about a mile onthe south trail when he saw a buddy
ahead of him. As then approachedthe buggy from the rear, the horse
hitched to the vehicle suddenly snorted andbegan to walked inside step. A moment
later, the buggy tipped dangerously,throwing a top. You putot on the
trail, then quickly rode alongside andgrabbed a horse's bidle. You man,

(09:16):
the horse is quiet. Now myhe's hurt. Let me help you out,
But for you. I might havebeen trampled by the horse or run
over by the buggy. Something frightenedthe horse. I'm sure he'll be all
right. Now, I'll help youunder the buggy. Man, I cannot
drive now, I'll tie my horsebehind the buggy and I'll drive you home.

(09:50):
When they reached the entrance to thefarm, Maria asked them to stop.
Hold I remanage from here. Whatis your name? Read, ma'am?
I am grateful to you for drivingme home. God, Yes,
now you must leave. Yes,good bye. Then quickly untied figure from
the buggy and watched as Maria drovetoward the farmhouse. As then stood watching

(10:16):
a man let a paint horse froma grove of trees and crossed the barnyard.
Victor, let's scout. You recognizethem too, follows at that farmhouse
and there's something wrong. I'm gonnasee what it's all about. Right now.

(10:37):
We'll continue our lone ranger adventure injust a moment. A champions today,
not yes, sir, Get onyour way, Get on your way,
Get on your way with me.It's encouraging for all of us to
know that champions are made, notborn. We can get ahead like Ted
Klezuski, power hitter for the CincinnatiRed Legs. Here's the story of little

(11:00):
Head and how he worked to getahead by playing ball each chance he got
and doing what the champs all taught. A bowl of wheaties helped a lot.
Now Ted slams him off the wall. Still likes Sweety's best of all,
while Big Ted Klezuski was raised onwheaty's, and you bet he still
eats them. Ted knows there's awhole kernel of wheat in every wheaty slate.

(11:20):
Come on, Ted, break upthe game. He's on his way,
on his way. He's on hisway, on his way, Get
on your way, get weedy Godchampions. Guess sir, get on your
way. Get on, get onyour way with wheedys champions. No to

(11:54):
continue in case anyone might be watching. Dan mounted Victor and rolled a short
Biston's back along the trail. Thenhe turned in among the trees and stopped,
Oh no, daddy, I'll hideyou here, Victor. Then I'll
go on foot to the farmhouse.Hidden by the trees, Dan circled the
house and came up through the brushbehind the barn. Though at times he

(12:18):
was allowed to carry a gun.Dan was now unarmed and moved with great
caution. When he reached the backof the barn, Dan looked through a
crack to see if Scout was stabledinside. Instead, he saw something that
caused him to tents. Toto wasinside on the barn floor, tied hand
and foot. Tota and he's aprisoner. I have to get inside without

(12:39):
being seen. Crouching load and slowlymade his way around to the barn door.
No one was inside, so hequickly stood up, opened the door
and entered as Scout. Dan.It not good you here, hooker Gang
in farmhouse Charley. I'll untie you, then we'll g I got the cover

(13:01):
all right. A short time afterDan was captured and tied in the barn
with Toto, a thunderstorm accompanied byheavy rains hit the territory. At the
camp, the lone ring here waiteduntil the storm subsided. Finally, he

(13:22):
became concerned when neither Dan nor Totoreturned, so he mounted his white Stallion
silver and heavy Todd town. Theheavy rains had eliminated all tracks, so
the maskman decided to question the blacksmith. He circled the town and soon drew

(13:45):
rain in front of the blacksmith shop, who seems to be closed. As
a finished sang tacked to the door. See gone away for the afternoon,
be back in the morning. Fora moment, the lone Ranger stood,
thinking there was no way for himto find out if Toto and Dan had

(14:05):
stopped at the shop, nor couldhe pick up their trails because of the
rain storm. He was sure theywouldn't be in town since they knew he
was waiting for them. Ulluh,I'm sure Toto and Dan ran trouble and
must find them quickly. The questionis how. After another moment of thought,
the Lone Ranger decided to make inquiriesin town. He led Silver into

(14:28):
a grove behind the blacksmith's shop.Then he took time to disguise his features
so that he could go without hismask for the time being. When he
was satisfied with the result, hemounted Silver and shot it up cloud.
After leaving Silver at the hitch rackin front of the cafe, the Lone

(14:50):
Ranger made inquiries concerning an Indian ona paint horse and a youth riding a
white horse. Finally, he learnedboth had been seen riding southward through town,
but and been seen returning. Themasked man decided to search for them
south of town. Sometime after thestorm, Maria, Bucky and the men

(15:20):
entered the barn where Tatoo and Danwere tied. There they are trussed up
like chickens. When the young man, how did he get here? Jake
and I caught him about the freethe engine their friends. Hey, you
act like you know him, Marie, No, no, I do not.
Dan glanced quickly at the Mexican womanwho stood slightly behind the men.
She placed her finger across her lips, indicating that Dan was not to recognize

(15:41):
her. Dan said nothing. ThenBucky spoke to Toto, well and in
you were heard talking to this youngsterhere. So you can't speak English.
Now, maybe you'll do some talkme not talk, Maybe a little gun
weapon to loosen his tongue, stubborn. We might get the young fellow to

(16:03):
talk if we knock him around alittle. No, you wait, you'll
not hurt him. Say you don'twant him to get hurt. That gives
me an idea. Lift the boyup in time to that post over there.
Time soas he's facing the post quicklyand roughly two of the men lifted
Dan and tied him with his faceto the post. Bucky indicated. Then

(16:23):
Bucky took a heavy whip from itsplace on the wall of the barn and
handed it to fakers. Here.I have some questions to ask Handy in
anytime he doesn't answer, use thewhip on the young fellaw's back. You
go ahead with the question. Waitthen your I do not care to watch.
I would go outside. Go ahead, Maria if you feel screamish.

(16:45):
Maria stepped outside and stood to oneside of the doorway, listening. She
felt obligated to Dan Reid because ofhis kindness to her earlier that day,
but knew she dared not interfere directly. She could hear Bucky inside asking Toto
questions taken. Your young friend getsthe whip. Do you know who I
am? Right though? I've seenyou someplace before, but I can't place

(17:10):
you. You've seen me before,haven't you? We'll speak up when and
where? Here go Larado. Whenewan gang rob expressed ewan gang get away.
One fella get caught him name Carlo. Later you help me escape and
then shoot him. Play ride withPossy to find June gang Oh Bucky,

(17:34):
shoot my Carlos, He said,it always to blame Karambai shall see that
they pay for you. While Buckywas questioning Tato in the barn Malone Range,
he rode along the trail nearby.As he passed a thick roll not
far from the farmhouse, he andSilver heard a familiar sound, easy boy,

(17:59):
easy to horse. Silver immediately recognizedthe whinny of his offspring, Victor
that when he came from the grove, there a Monsilver. A moment later,
the lone ranger stopped beside Victor.Then must be hereby. I'll leave
you here with Victor. Silver willI look around. Meantime, Maria,

(18:25):
angered by what she had learned anddetermined to revenge her husband's death, hurriedly
entered a small hay barn where thegang kept their riding gears. They must
not escape, I should get help. Quickly, taking a can of coal
oil, she spread the oil overthe floor. Then, stepping outside the
door, she lit matches and threwthem inside. The oil quickly caught fire,

(18:48):
and as the flame spread, sheran back to tell the men.
More questions with you, how didyou quik? You say? Hey,
Barney, he's on board. Wegotta put that so they are gone now
I will release you now the Indian. A moment later, both Dan and
Toto were free. Then Maria reachedinto the poles of her voluminous skirt.

(19:12):
See I have found your guns inside, Indians here, I give them back
to you. Thanks so lod.But you'll get up and the hay barn
it will soon be blazing high deeperwill come. We must keep the gang
here to be captured. Why youdo this? The boy he was kind
to me, al so they murderedmy husband, Carlos. Quick, No,
get the horses out and chase himaway. Soon the men will come

(19:34):
back for them. For to getaway. Hurriedly, Dan, Toto and
Maria let the horses outside and sentthem running back among the trees. Her
plans were already leaping high. Inspite of the gang's efforts to put the
fire out. Totoed Dan and thewoman hidden the shadows outside as Pucki and
his men entered the big barn.Away from any here's the horses to go
