of support. Old Sade Haggard's half demented creature and Jacob
Hunchback's son live in one wing of the dilapidated old house.
A pack of great vicious cross breed hounds guards the
old place from intrudens. It is early evening in the

Speaker 8 (05:04):
It's a narrow pathway along the rim of a high cliff.
It washes out so that a slip on the gravel starts.

To slide right over the cliff.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And you mean to say four boys have been lost

If the shadow is a man, you mean, the dogs
will trail them by his And even though we can't
see him, he's right, doke, for we haven't got anything

They can get his scent from that handkerchief and trail him.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
A shadow can't escape this time.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
The shadows.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Adventure continues in just a moment. Meanwhile, I'd like to
say a few words about a subject the uppermost of
ever and mind these days, how to save money. Large
savings in cooking and heating costs can be made by
switching to blue coals. For blue coal is the perfect
home fuel. It is the best grade of Pennsylvania anthracite,
and anthracite is the fuel that furnaces, cooking stoves and
(15:16):
pola heaters in New England were designed to use. Blue
coal gives off a steady, clean heat. It lasts longer
and burns down to a fine, powdery ash without giving
off smoke or grime common to many other fuels. Blue
coal's criminess will appeal to New England housewives, for housekeeping
is greatly simplified when blue coal is used, because with
(15:38):
this dependable fuel, you not only have a more comfortable home,
but a cleaner house inside and out.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
These are the reasons why blue coal.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is so popular in Pawtucket, Rhode Islands. Sales in Portucket
this winter are twelve percent ahead of sales for the
same period a year ago. Here's another point you buy
American when buying blue coal. It is mined and prepared
in Pennsylvania by the Glen Olden Coal Company, especially for
home youth, so for economy and clemlinists start using blue
(16:06):
coal tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Order it by name.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Phone your nearest blue Coal dealer. You will find him
listed in the where to buy it section of your
classified telephone directory under the name Blue Coal.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
MAO mad Lane. The car arrive arriving an old house
of my four miles off the cliff road. The captain,
I'm in a word the back amount of killing me
of famly Helen. I've got my hand. Hi, get the
kara the kln.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Hi. Come on, Sake, keep a put where we can
see you.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Don't try to hide behind the trees if you think
you can sneak back to the house, all right, you
all right, slim, Yeah, dope. If Jake starts falling back
and again anymore trying to lose us among the trees
and the dogs so he can go back to the
house and finish off them kids, let him have it, okay, boys,
I wasn't find If there wasn't okay, then come on, hey,
you Jake, he does dogs level of time on us. Yeah,
(17:25):
if you was alone. Yeah, but I'm with you. Hear
that doke that dogs have got a shadow. It's lucky
for us. He left his hangs him with the kids,
sought the hounds could get the sand in it.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Ha.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Now there's only one or two things for the shadow
to do. Stand and be chewed by them beasts, or
else climb a tree. He's not invisible to a dog's nose.
They can smell him if he's climbed a tree.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
We got him though, Okay, guy's the dogs jump around
that tree right now, say him.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Well, what do we do now?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Well, we can't do much while it's dog What do
you mean?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I mean? We got to keep the shadow of treed
until it stay light.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, but you can't see him whether it's light or dark.
That's right. Maybe he's thinking that after all. Listen, if
we wait till daylight, then we can see.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Where he is in the tree.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
But you can't see where he is.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Yeah, but when he comes, he has to shake the
branch he's sitting on.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
And when we see any of them leave shaken, we'll
shoot right at that place. It'll be like shooting at nothing.
I know they if we don't get him that way,
he has two other things to choose from him.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, what's that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
We can keep in tread until he gets so weak
he can't work his invisibility gag anymore, and he comes down.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then the dogs get him.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Well, there's not in the door, but wait till morning.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Then no, but we got to keep awake.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Morning ain't far off, and then we'll see. Hey, Duke,
I got to think, and sitting here last night, what
about them kids?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Well, Slim, what about him?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
We didn't thought it, But they can't find a kidnap.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
And rap on it, not without evidence, Slim. No, but
she oh, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No evidence?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Eh, that's right, No kid, what do you think? Yeah, Jake,
kid don't want no evidence that as soon as we
dispose of the man who calls himself the.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Shadow, no one will know.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
And then Jake here gets rid of the kid.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, but how about Jake and old Sadie? And I
think they could disappear and not be missed.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Hey, so look, we can see the whole tree now,
but I don't see nobody.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
No, of course not. But he's there now, watch carefully, Slim.

Hello, mister Cston.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Well, Dickie, I hear you had quite an adventure last night.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Yes, a kind man came to my room at that
terrible house, but I couldn't see him.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Maybe you dreamt it, Dickie, wasn't gonna keep it a
secret just between us three.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Yes, I think that's a good idea, all right, But
it was a swell dream.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And here is John Barclay, Blue Cole's heating expert with
some interesting information for you.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Thank you, Ken Roberts.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Good evening friends.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
The health and comfort of your family during this period
of widely varying temperatures depends to a great extent on
wi your heating plant delivers steady, even heat when you
need it, And the efficiency of your heating plant depends
upon the proper use of furnace dampers. Here are some
helpful hints on the proper use of these dampers. First,
(26:13):
the turn or the smoke pipe damper should never be
used for day to day control of heat. This damper
should always be kept as nearly closed as possible without
retarding the free burning of your fire. If you do
not have automatic thermis that control of your furnace, the
everyday control of heat should be left to your check damper,
(26:34):
that flap like vamper located on your chimney pipe and
the ash pipe damper. To get more heat through your house,
close the check damper and open the ashpit damper. Always
remember when one is closed, the other should be open.
If the house is warm enough, close the ashpit and
open the check damper. The proper location of these dampers
(26:54):
is important. The check damper should be between the chimney
and turn damper, the latter being between the check stamper
and the furnace. If the dampers are in this position,
they are properly placed and if operated in the manner
that I have just explained, you did not experience any
trouble in maintaining an even temperature in all parts.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Of your home.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
However, if you do have trouble with your.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Furnace, phone your nearest blue coal dealer and ask him
to send a John Barclay service man to your home.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I thank you, Thank you, mister Barklets and friends take
mister Barkler's tip. Phone your nearest Blue Cold dealer, have
him send a John Barker's service man to your home tomorrow.
(27:43):
You have just heard a dramatized version of one of
the many copyrighted stories which appear in the Shadow magazine.
All the characters and all the places named or physicians
in the similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

the solid fuel for solid comfort.

(00:50):

Speaker 3 (00:52):
We are now in the midst.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Of the most treacherous season of the entire year. But
you can protect your family's health during this danger period
by burning blue coal. For a blue coal gives you clean, uniform,
healthful heat all winter long, and its harmless blue coloring
is your guarantee of better heat at last cost. So
when you order fuel, insist on blue cold at Pennsylvania's
(01:18):
finest Anthracite. Your nearest blue coal dealer will be glad
to send you at trial time phone him tomorrow. High
in the pine clad hills of North Carolina, where backwards
living is neighbor to palatial winter homes, there is a
(01:40):
haunted mansion relic of former grandeur with no visible means
of support. Old Sade Haggard's half demented creature and Jacob
Hunchback's son live in one wing of the dilapidated old house.
A pack of great vicious cross breed hounds guards the
old place from intrudens. It is early evening in the
(02:01):
dim half light. Two figures, led by one of the hounds,
approached the house.

train over cliff there?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What is this trail? Get well?
Speaker 8 (05:04):
It's a narrow pathway along the rim of a high cliff.
It washes out so that a slip on the gravel starts.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
To slide right over the cliff.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And you mean to say four boys have been lost
there in two weeks? Yes, yes, don't strike you. There
might be something more than just say, causing the disappearance
of these children.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
But what then?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
I don't know, get ah, I'd like to look at
this cliff, hellove girl, Miss Transon. You see how the
trail washes out down the cliff. That's one thousand feet
(05:43):
straight down at the river at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, I reckon.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The current must carry the body away. You haven't found
a trace of them.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Kind of a howl does a ghost lake in this
part of the country? Cutter, And that's what I asked
about here they could describe it. It was like a
dog howling a hound dog?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well, I generally sound as a dog howling means a dog.
Speaker 9 (06:43):

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I never believe what I heard, though you can't believe it.
Now listen, Duke, I'm here for only one purpose, to
save the lives of four little children.

tough spock. How Shadow, Old Sadie is crazy? Well, shall
we say, borrowed four little boys from places near here
and made it appear that they were killed, killed falling
over a cliff.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
A lie.

They was killed. I killed them and my Dick kept
their place.
Speaker 3 (13:16):

Kill the boys.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Don't believe in, Duke.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Either way, you'll be arrested for kidnapping.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Heyduke, we don't want no part in kidnapping.
Speaker 6 (13:31):

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Say you'll let me take the boys away back to
their homes. He won't be accused of kidnapping and give.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You a chance to chip off the police away.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
We're hiding out. Oh no, let him have it. Slim
took the door, he went out the door. He's gone, dook,
he's gone.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
We can't get them, yes, we can, how the dog.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
If the shadow's a man, them dogs can follow his hands.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
If the shadow is a man, you mean, the dogs
will trail them by his And even though we can't
see him, he's right, doke, for we haven't got anything
to give the dogs to smell, to give him the scent.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Maybe he last up in the kid's room.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Let's go and see.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
Yeah, let's look right here.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
He's too clever, too left anything behind.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Hey, where the boy gets that handkerchief?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
He's sniffling in the handkerchief? Huhyah, he never had no
handkerchief when he come here?
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Who gave you this hanker?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Gives little boy? Man?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
What man?
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Man? Who spoke to me in the dark?
Speaker 6 (14:31):
You couldn't see him?
Speaker 7 (14:33):
No, he said, I hadn't believe he was here, although
I couldn't see him.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And it's the shadows.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Get the dogs.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Get the dogs.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
They can get his scent from that handkerchief and trail him.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
A shadow can't escape this time.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
The shadows.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Adventure continues in just a moment. Meanwhile, I'd like to
say a few words about a subject the uppermost of
ever and mind these days, how to save money. Large
savings in cooking and heating costs can be made by
switching to blue coals. For blue coal is the perfect
home fuel. It is the best grade of Pennsylvania anthracite,
and anthracite is the fuel that furnaces, cooking stoves and
(15:16):
pola heaters in New England were designed to use. Blue
coal gives off a steady, clean heat. It lasts longer
and burns down to a fine, powdery ash without giving
off smoke or grime common to many other fuels. Blue
coal's criminess will appeal to New England housewives, for housekeeping
is greatly simplified when blue coal is used, because with
(15:38):
this dependable fuel, you not only have a more comfortable home,
but a cleaner house inside and out.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
These are the reasons why blue coal.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Is so popular in Pawtucket, Rhode Islands. Sales in Portucket
this winter are twelve percent ahead of sales for the
same period a year ago. Here's another point you buy
American when buying blue coal. It is mined and prepared
in Pennsylvania by the Glen Olden Coal Company, especially for
home youth, so for economy and clemlinists start using blue
(16:06):
coal tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Order it by name.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Phone your nearest blue Coal dealer. You will find him
listed in the where to buy it section of your
classified telephone directory under the name Blue Coal.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
MAO mad Lane. The car arrive arriving an old house
of my four miles off the cliff road. The captain,
I'm in a word the back amount of killing me
of famly Helen. I've got my hand. Hi, get the
kara the kln.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Hi. Come on, Sake, keep a put where we can
see you.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Don't try to hide behind the trees if you think
you can sneak back to the house, all right, you
all right, slim, Yeah, dope. If Jake starts falling back
and again anymore trying to lose us among the trees
and the dogs so he can go back to the
house and finish off them kids, let him have it, okay, boys,
I wasn't find If there wasn't okay, then come on, hey,
you Jake, he does dogs level of time on us. Yeah,
(17:25):
if you was alone. Yeah, but I'm with you. Hear
that doke that dogs have got a shadow. It's lucky
for us. He left his hangs him with the kids,
sought the hounds could get the sand in it.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Ha.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Now there's only one or two things for the shadow
to do. Stand and be chewed by them beasts, or
else climb a tree. He's not invisible to a dog's nose.
They can smell him if he's climbed a tree.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
We got him though, Okay, guy's the dogs jump around
that tree right now, say him.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Well, what do we do now?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Well, we can't do much while it's dog What do
you mean?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I mean? We got to keep the shadow of treed
until it stay light.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, but you can't see him whether it's light or dark.
That's right. Maybe he's thinking that after all. Listen, if
we wait till daylight, then we can see.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Where he is in the tree.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
But you can't see where he is.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Yeah, but when he comes, he has to shake the
branch he's sitting on.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
And when we see any of them leave shaken, we'll
shoot right at that place. It'll be like shooting at nothing.
I know they if we don't get him that way,
he has two other things to choose from him.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, what's that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
We can keep in tread until he gets so weak
he can't work his invisibility gag anymore, and he comes down.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And then the dogs get him.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Well, there's not in the door, but wait till morning.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Then no, but we got to keep awake.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Morning ain't far off, and then we'll see. Hey, Duke,
I got to think, and sitting here last night, what
about them kids?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Well, Slim, what about him?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
We didn't thought it, But they can't find a kidnap.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
And rap on it, not without evidence, Slim. No, but
she oh, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No evidence?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Eh, that's right, No kid, what do you think? Yeah, Jake,
kid don't want no evidence that as soon as we
dispose of the man who calls himself the.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Shadow, no one will know.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
And then Jake here gets rid of the kid.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah, but how about Jake and old Sadie? And I
think they could disappear and not be missed.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Hey, so look, we can see the whole tree now,
but I don't see nobody.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
No, of course not. But he's there now, watch carefully, Slim.
There's no wind, any limb or branch that moves, may
be the shadow. Yeah, so when something moves, let them
have it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Hey, but how do we know when we get him
he'll come down?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Slim?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
You miss Slim?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Take your time?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Hey, what's that?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
I thought I saw a branch move. We're shooting at
the shadow, Jake.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
And when he's unconscious of dead, we can see him
all right? And then.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Then there's Doug. Good yourself though. Those dogs are hungry. Yeah,
I bet they look nice from up in the tree
waiting for their breakfast.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
How can you shoot him if you can't say him?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Shout up, Jake. I'll take your time, Slim. Good, he's there.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
Good morning, Shadow.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I hope you slept well.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Oh yeah, and you now what's close? Slim? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Would it be too much for me to ask? How
are the little boys?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
They're all right? Shadow so far?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Yeah, But I'll get rid of him, Slim.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Get around the other side of the tree.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I think he's low in the tree behind the true Okay, Duke, we're.

Big to cut down. Very ingenious.

Yeah, but the dogs.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
It ain't safe to leave without Jake.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
The dogs they won't touch you.

They're after the shadow, and Jake will.

secret just between us three.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Yes, I think that's a good idea, all right, But
it was a swell dream.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And here is John Barclay, Blue Cole's heating expert with
some interesting information for you.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Thank you, Ken Roberts.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Good evening friends.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
The health and comfort of your family during this period
of widely varying temperatures depends to a great extent on
wi your heating plant delivers steady, even heat when you
need it, And the efficiency of your heating plant depends
upon the proper use of furnace dampers. Here are some
helpful hints on the proper use of these dampers. First,
(26:13):
the turn or the smoke pipe damper should never be
used for day to day control of heat. This damper
should always be kept as nearly closed as possible without
retarding the free burning of your fire. If you do
not have automatic thermis that control of your furnace, the
everyday control of heat should be left to your check damper,
(26:34):
that flap like vamper located on your chimney pipe and
the ash pipe damper. To get more heat through your house,
close the check damper and open the ashpit damper. Always
remember when one is closed, the other should be open.
If the house is warm enough, close the ashpit and
open the check damper. The proper location of these dampers
(26:54):
is important. The check damper should be between the chimney
and turn damper, the latter being between the check stamper
and the furnace. If the dampers are in this position,
they are properly placed and if operated in the manner
that I have just explained, you did not experience any
trouble in maintaining an even temperature in all parts.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Of your home.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
However, if you do have trouble with your.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Furnace, phone your nearest blue coal dealer and ask him
to send a John Barclay service man to your home.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I thank you, Thank you, mister Barklets and friends take
mister Barkler's tip. Phone your nearest Blue Cold dealer, have
him send a John Barker's service man to your home tomorrow.
(27:43):
You have just heard a dramatized version of one of
the many copyrighted stories which appear in the Shadow magazine.
All the characters and all the places named or physicians
in the similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And so evil. So shall you reap evil.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
Crime?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Not day a shadow nose.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Next week, same time, same station, Blue Coal America's finest
Stampra site will again present another thwimming adventure of the Shadow.
Be sure to listen, and be sure to burn blue coal,
the solid fuel for solid comfort.
