Clowd to present an unusually brilliant venture of the Shadow.
Before the Shadow cuts today's adventure.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I want to ask all you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Household is a timely question. When you consider buying a fuel.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Your first question is what will it do for me?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well, here's what.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Brue Coal will do for you. It will keep your
home comforably heated morning, noon and night. It will make things.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Easier for you all the way round, and it will
cut down your heating bills.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You couldn't ask.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
For more than that, could you? But Blue Cole did
you more, and without asking too. While with every order
you employ the full benefit of your neighborhood Blue.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Coal Dealer's extra customer service. So phone him tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The Shadow the sterious character who aids the forces of
law and order. He is in rialit Halam Monk Cramston Wealth,
the young man about town. As the Shadow, Cranston is
gifted with a hypnotic power to cloud men's mind so
that they cannot see him. Cranston's friends and companion.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
The lovely Margot Lane is the only person who knows
to whom the voice of the Invisible Shadow belongs today's story,
the ghost of Caleb McKenzie. Well, here we are gathered together,
(02:00):
the happiest family. Happiest family. I wish you could all
see yourselves as I see you, nor vultures voters waiting
for the poor Caccus to die, because I don't incluse
(02:20):
you in that description, model merely an old friend of
the family. Understand that I didn't need you, uncle Caleb,
but she's the only one that I exclude. They'll better Rushdad,
that you'd be the first to speak, for you always
have been. You think after me in that respect. That is,
I hope that's the only characteristic of yours that I have. Now,
(02:43):
that's what I call putting.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
The cards on the table.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I've always admire you for that, son, You make no
pretense of your hatred phony, because more than I can say.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
For the rest of you.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh come now, Caleb, waiting for you to say that,
my dear damon, no family gathering is ever complete without
your injection of the phrase all come now, Caleb.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I don't believe you first said it.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
When I was six and you were three, and as
I recall you even then seeking something from a choice,
it was those days.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Why do you insist that all of us.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Kh because it's true, diamonds, each of you. The hatred
has a different cases. My son Paul hate me because
he feels rived in a tyrant. That's why I left
off you, Damon, Your hatred is based on envy. You're
jealous of the money I've made, the power I've gained.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
How time.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Well, now, Marie, you, oh my dear wife, you're in
a class by yourself.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yours is a long suffering.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Hatred, a patient one. I shouldn't have pratified you that
way you let me ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Your loathing was stronger then.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
But being apart from me being the only one year
who's tempered the emotion, however, I can't say the time
has less than that feeling in your son.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
His name has no place in this conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Mother, Please, they're protecting that misshapen, sniveling fun of ours.
How else could he be described? Look at it that
thinks that if there's my name Caleb, at least when
my first wife bore me a son, she bought me
a man, Paul is a man be finished. Haven't described
(04:34):
his hatred yet. I've saved that because his is the
most bitter of all. It's a cunning to the hate
that you drilled into him from the day he was born. There, please,
for mother's sake, from mother's state, always has been your cry,
Cavid Junior.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I think i'd better be leaving, Uncle Caleb.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I have someone waiting in.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Mill please, Margot.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I asked you here to night so that I might
see one friendly face, even if it wasn't one other family. No, no,
you must say, well, I'll sit down please, because you
mar goo. This little ceremony only takes place once a year.

Would you look for that envelope please?
Speaker 4 (11:21):

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Afraid of the uncle.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Oh, come now.
Speaker 3 (11:31):

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Now, perhaps you'd like to give a content about the win.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
You'll have to figure that out yourself.
Speaker 4 (12:09):

Speaker 3 (12:14):
That's the place where my.
Speaker 4 (12:15):

The book.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Well, and what are we waiting for? That sounds like

Speaker 4 (13:32):

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, sorry, good modo.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Someone just run out on the board.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
See you running into the woods.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You're be going to do it?
Speaker 9 (14:12):
It's too late.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You better look down at the us. I have to
go correct to.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Wait a minute, Ye, Bady is dead muscle.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
Well we know now, Margo, that dismissing Will is important
enough for someone to murder for it.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
More from the Shadow in just a minute. The first
time off for a picture of a man getting up
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Boy, pony coal this morning. I'll soon six tracks those slippers. Ah,
there they are now, just set that blue coal heat regulator.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, more and more people are relying upon blue coal
and the blue coal automatic heat regulator for a quick,
dependable heat these cold winter mornings. For blue coal sends
up quick heat the moment drafts are opened and the
heat regulator opens drafts automatically a flick of the finger
and the furnace static step then presstol, a steady floor
heat ascends to those upstairs rooms before you can save
(15:30):
blue coal, and that heat will remain constant all day long.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
At whatever temperature you wish.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, blue coal in my furnace keeps my home comfortably
heated twenty four hours of the day, and the blue
coal automatic heat regulator enables you to control that heat
without running up and down cellar to regulate furnace dampers. Yes,
blue coal and the Blue Coal Automatic Heat Regulator make
the modern combination for convenience and comfort. Poon your neighborhood
dealer for blue coal and ask for a pre demonstration
(15:58):
of the blue Coal Automatic heat regulator. His name is
listed in the Whare to Buy It section of your
classified telephone directory under the word through gold and now
back to the shadow.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Come on, do you.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Think it's all right leaving Uncle Dan's body after the
woll the west Is men arrived.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yes, why the concentrated sky, or.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Simply trying to reconstruct this thing from the beginning. From
what you told me, Margot, there were three people prowling
about downstairs earlier in the evening, any one of whom
had access to Caleb Senior study.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Yes, that's right, Paul, Caleb June and William Well, Margot.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
That makes three suspects that we know of who could
have killed Caleb Senior.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Three you mean, oh Williams did the subject two? Definitely
of the second, old woman, now that I do think
he could.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Have killed Uncle.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Call right, perhaps it's time for the shadow to hear
more from this kindly old gentleman.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Was sorry to disturb your reveries, Williams. Who's talking to me?
I am called the shadow, the shadow, the man no
one can see. That's right, Williams, the man no one
can see.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
And you love you?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
But why don't you come here to see me?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Seeking information, old man, information that you must give me.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
What is it ist? I'd like to know why you
aren't in bed at this hour? Why are you sitting
in that chair fully clothed? I couldn't sleep. Would that
be called by a guilty conscious man?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
No, No, it's just the shock, the shock of mister
M's stabbing the kick, Williams.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Did you feel told him as the others did? Did
you hate him? I had a great funds from you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Know, of course that you will be suspected of his
murder as much.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
But I shall have no trouble proving my innocence. That's
more than I can say for some of the others.
What do you know about the will that he left,
the one that he spoke of in the note? Why
should I know about that? You were close to mister Mackenzie.
He confide it in you? No, I know he did.
He must have told you about that will. You don't
know what you're saying. Why I'm on this?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What do you know the will?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Was it in the belly of home? No?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
No, it wasn't in the I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
What you do know? Where it is?
Speaker 8 (18:49):
You also know the answer to the riddle the place
where his soul shall rest?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Tell me where is this place? Please tell me, Williams.
If he would have heard another murder, you must tell me.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, that's so interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, wherever it wasn't gotten away? Shadow.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I can't talk anymore. I can't, Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I'm going to give you time to reconsider and remember
that by telling what you know, you may save another's life.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Take that over, Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Later you shall receive another visit from the shadow. Then, Mardo,
just when I was about to tell where the will
was hidden, a noise outside the window, flighting him.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Someone was listening to our conversation. I couldn't see it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I guess that it was our murderer.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Did you hear anyone moving about the house?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
No, I didn't I that, Paul, though I was coming home. Oh,
what was easy just going into the room.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
See, this is one time on which western could get
to the scene of a crime.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
A little pastor. We have too many people to keep
track of. A loan modl Maman, did you.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Hear the come on quickly, some team to come from
down the hall? What were those shots, Bargo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
We don't know yet, Paul.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh, William's door is open.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Perhaps we better look there for I'll go down the
hall and kids, young Calvin Rea all right, why what
is it?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's no need of going there. I have found the victim.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Who's old William? Oh no, he's been shut through the head.
Come on, an idea not yet can be any one
of the three of them. Why should all William.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Because he knew the whereabouts of admissing will the person
who was listening at the window when they shadow talked
to Williams must have come back to learn his secret.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And do you think that that person has found it out?
Isn't the old man's talk? I have an idea that
he didn't. If I could only over that riddle search
the place where my soul will west. That's the peep
of the mystery. Mongo.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Do you want to come into the study with me
while I inspect Old Caleb's cobs again?
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Well, I'm not alone either.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
I just want to take another look at the placement
of the knife and the old man, the chef. I've
just had a fantastic notion about his stabbing, and Margot,
the knife is gone gone. Yes, a murderer has wasted
no time in covering up the killer fun.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Of opportunity, Margo. This is Jeff Paul. What can you
tell me about him? What you don't suspect him? I
suspect all fear of them. What can you tell me why?
I don't Paul all my life? He couldn't have killed
his paw. I know we played together as children. Might
be on the estate.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
We have treasure hunts and the Devil's played round him
over the mon.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Where did you say you played the Devil's playground. It's
a large cable up above the Margo. That's it. That
solves the riddle. What are you talking about? Search the
place where my soul will rest? That's what Calebs Andia meant. Margo,
I'm sure of it. The devil's playground.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
If you're right, that's where the will.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Is hidden, exactly, and before many more moments, the shadow
has an appointment there with a murderer.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
I demand to know why you're hearing the Devil's playground
for the.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Family with joy here, my dear stepmother.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And no, that wasn't necessary.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I know this place very.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Well, and you've come here seeking the will exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
You'll never get it, to understand. Oh, so you found it.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
I found the will and I'm going to keep it.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
You'll forgive my inclusion. I hope I am going as
a shadow. Where are you? I can't, so you don't
worry too much, Marie. No one has ever seen what
you want here.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Shadow.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well, my clever friend, I have come in quest of
a murderer, and I believe my search has ended. What
do you mean one of you has.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Come here because of the information that you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Learn from Old Williams.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now which of you is that one? Obviously one of
you is lying well well, which to the next point
of you?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
The search? The search for the murderer's gun. I'm sure
that neither of you will object to this, so we'll
just proceed. What makes you so positive? Shadow? But don't
you see, missus McKenzie, this is your check I warn
you don't come here me. Why not, missus McKenzie. Is
it because you're afraid I'll find that gun? Answer my question,
(23:50):
Missus McKenzie, very well, this is my answer.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
What you You have the gun here.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
So keep away from me, both you, particularly mister Shadow.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I don't like your inquisitive spirit. You forget I have
the advantage of invisibility.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I think this gun will remove that's so called advantage.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So you wish to add me to your list of victims?
Missus McKenzie.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I can't believe that she's sure that is the same
gun that chat Damon and Old Williams, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Missus McKenzie, you're that clever.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You shouldn't have to ask Shadows why Did you do it, Lourie,
I'll answer that Damon was unfortunate enough to be in
her way, and old Williams was killed when you revealed
the hiding place of the will.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Isn't that true? Yeah, that's true. You also feared that
they might be named in the will as your husband's
leg didn't you?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Very interesting? John?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
But of one of bad and she murdered him too. No,
I don't believe so didn't murder dead? No, but she
thought that her son, Caleb did. That's not true. My
boy had nothing to do with my husband's murder, nor
did I.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I admit I did kill Damon william but I had
nothing to do with the first murder.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Did you did? That's a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
You can't plame me for your crime.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Thermometer.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I don't think either of you will kill me of
the murder of Caleb Senior. But who did do it?
We should learn presently.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I've heard enough.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
I'm leading here, and neither of you had.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Better try to stop with don and drummery.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'm sorry, Paul, but you will be the first to go. Don't.
Don't you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Thank your shadow for serving my life?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
If you don't mind I think I copy in the
will to give me. Now, let's have a look at
this precious paper. Let's go listen to me, missus mc kennedy,
I have having to read to you.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I'm sure as I am, you will point out a
lesson even to you, as I have said.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You thought that your son Caleb kills your husband, you
protect him and your share of the fortune. You murdered too. Men.
Now attached to.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
This will, I find a single slip of paper signed
by Caleb McKenny.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Sea.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Listen to what it says. When you read this, I
shall have permitted suicides in my will, you shall learn
that I have left my entire.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fortune to my wife Marie and her son Caleb Junior. No,
you get tomorrow, missus McKenzie. It's one that I can't
repeat too often. Crime does not say.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And now before we hear from the shadow again, here's
John Barclay America's Home Meeting. But say, mister Buckley, may
I ask you afruct him sadly? Mister King, Oh, I've
often heard you mention the check damper on the furnace,
and I've never quite understood what function it performs.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Is it really necessary? Mister King?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
The best way I can explain the function of the
check damper is by comparing it to the accelerator on
your car. You know how you press down on the
accelerator when you want to go faster, or you mean
that the check damper feeds up the burning of the
cold precisely, when you want your furnace to produce more heat,
you just close the check damper. And when you want
the cold to burn slower, you open the check damper. Oh,
(27:34):
I see, mister Barclay, all I should say, the check damper.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Is very important, mister King.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The check jamper is so important that anyone whose heating
plant is not equipped with one should have it installed immediately.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Well, thank you, mister Barkley. Now I know what it's
all about.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Glad to help you out.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Mister King.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
And if any of you listeners have a heating.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Plant without a check damper, or if you have a
heating problem, here is what you do. Simply call your
neighborhood blue coal dealer tell him you'd like the advice
of John Barkley, trained serviceman.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
This service is free.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:21):

Clowd to present an unusually brilliant venture of the Shadow.
Before the Shadow cuts today's adventure.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I want to ask all you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Household is a timely question. When you consider buying a fuel.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Your first question is what will it do for me?

Well, here's what.

Brue Coal will do for you. It will keep your
home comforably heated morning, noon and night. It will make things.

you more, and without asking too. While with every order
you employ the full benefit of your neighborhood Blue.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Coal Dealer's extra customer service. So phone him tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
The Shadow the sterious character who aids the forces of
law and order. He is in rialit Halam Monk Cramston Wealth,
the young man about town. As the Shadow, Cranston is
gifted with a hypnotic power to cloud men's mind so
that they cannot see him. Cranston's friends and companion.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
The lovely Margot Lane is the only person who knows
to whom the voice of the Invisible Shadow belongs today's story,
the ghost of Caleb McKenzie. Well, here we are gathered together,
(02:00):
the happiest family. Happiest family. I wish you could all
see yourselves as I see you, nor vultures voters waiting
for the poor Caccus to die, because I don't incluse
(02:20):
you in that description, model merely an old friend of
the family. Understand that I didn't need you, uncle Caleb,
but she's the only one that I exclude. They'll better Rushdad,
that you'd be the first to speak, for you always
have been. You think after me in that respect. That is,
I hope that's the only characteristic of yours that I have. Now,
(02:43):
that's what I call putting.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
The cards on the table.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I've always admire you for that, son, You make no
pretense of your hatred phony, because more than I can say.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
For the rest of you.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh come now, Caleb, waiting for you to say that,
my dear damon, no family gathering is ever complete without
your injection of the phrase all come now, Caleb.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I don't believe you first said it.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
When I was six and you were three, and as
I recall you even then seeking something from a choice,
it was those days.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Why do you insist that all of us.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Kh because it's true, diamonds, each of you. The hatred
has a different cases. My son Paul hate me because
he feels rived in a tyrant. That's why I left
off you, Damon, Your hatred is based on envy. You're
jealous of the money I've made, the power I've gained.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
How time.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Well, now, Marie, you, oh my dear wife, you're in
a class by yourself.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yours is a long suffering.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Hatred, a patient one. I shouldn't have pratified you that
way you let me ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Your loathing was stronger then.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
But being apart from me being the only one year
who's tempered the emotion, however, I can't say the time
has less than that feeling in your son.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
His name has no place in this conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Mother, Please, they're protecting that misshapen, sniveling fun of ours.
How else could he be described? Look at it that
thinks that if there's my name Caleb, at least when
my first wife bore me a son, she bought me
a man, Paul is a man be finished. Haven't described
(04:34):
his hatred yet. I've saved that because his is the
most bitter of all. It's a cunning to the hate
that you drilled into him from the day he was born. There, please,
for mother's sake, from mother's state, always has been your cry,
Cavid Junior.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I think i'd better be leaving, Uncle Caleb.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I have someone waiting in.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Mill please, Margot.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I asked you here to night so that I might
see one friendly face, even if it wasn't one other family. No, no,
you must say, well, I'll sit down please, because you
mar goo. This little ceremony only takes place once a year.
I'm like, oh, my beloved king here so that they.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
May closely inspect my state of health.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
If I look wan or tale, perhaps if reassure them
that the Mackenzie fortune will soon pass.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Into their Oh, come now, Cayli.

Let's break this up. Show it.
Speaker 4 (05:35):

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yes, yes, my eager brother, Yes, I all Where is it?

Thank you, and thank you that means that Dame for
all of you showed them to their rooms, William, save

die this way?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And why shouldn't have anticipated this?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I do know that, Junior, and I also know that

Would you look for that envelope please?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yes? Perhaps it will contain a clue to his death.

the police arrive to look at it?

You'll have to figure that out yourself.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
It says, to find the one who's passed the test.

That's the place where my.
Speaker 4 (12:15):

The book.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Well, and what are we waiting for? That sounds like
the cancer to the riddle? Where is the missing Will?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I'm the one who's the face? Where man is? It?
Must be? It must be now now I time it

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Who are you? Speak up? Come on? I can't do

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, sorry, good modo.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Someone just run out on the board.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
See you running into the woods.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You're be going to do it?
Speaker 9 (14:12):
It's too late.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You better look down at the us. I have to
go correct to.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Wait a minute, Ye, Bady is dead muscle.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
Well we know now, Margo, that dismissing Will is important
enough for someone to murder for it.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
More from the Shadow in just a minute. The first
time off for a picture of a man getting up
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Boy, pony coal this morning. I'll soon six tracks those slippers. Ah,
there they are now, just set that blue coal heat regulator.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, more and more people are relying upon blue coal
and the blue coal automatic heat regulator for a quick,
dependable heat these cold winter mornings. For blue coal sends
up quick heat the moment drafts are opened and the
heat regulator opens drafts automatically a flick of the finger
and the furnace static step then presstol, a steady floor
heat ascends to those upstairs rooms before you can save
(15:30):
blue coal, and that heat will remain constant all day long.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
At whatever temperature you wish.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, blue coal in my furnace keeps my home comfortably
heated twenty four hours of the day, and the blue
coal automatic heat regulator enables you to control that heat
without running up and down cellar to regulate furnace dampers. Yes,
blue coal and the Blue Coal Automatic Heat Regulator make
the modern combination for convenience and comfort. Poon your neighborhood
dealer for blue coal and ask for a pre demonstration
(15:58):
of the blue Coal Automatic heat regulator. His name is
listed in the Whare to Buy It section of your
classified telephone directory under the word through gold and now
back to the shadow.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Come on, do you.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Think it's all right leaving Uncle Dan's body after the
woll the west Is men arrived.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yes, why the concentrated sky, or.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Simply trying to reconstruct this thing from the beginning. From
what you told me, Margot, there were three people prowling
about downstairs earlier in the evening, any one of whom
had access to Caleb Senior study.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Yes, that's right, Paul, Caleb June and William Well, Margot.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
That makes three suspects that we know of who could
have killed Caleb Senior.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Three you mean, oh Williams did the subject two? Definitely
of the second, old woman, now that I do think
he could.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Have killed Uncle.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Call right, perhaps it's time for the shadow to hear
more from this kindly old gentleman.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Was sorry to disturb your reveries, Williams. Who's talking to me?
I am called the shadow, the shadow, the man no
one can see. That's right, Williams, the man no one
can see.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
And you love you?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
But why don't you come here to see me?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Seeking information, old man, information that you must give me.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
What is it ist? I'd like to know why you
aren't in bed at this hour? Why are you sitting
in that chair fully clothed? I couldn't sleep. Would that
be called by a guilty conscious man?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
No, No, it's just the shock, the shock of mister
M's stabbing the kick, Williams.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Did you feel told him as the others did? Did
you hate him? I had a great funds from you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Know, of course that you will be suspected of his
murder as much.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
But I shall have no trouble proving my innocence. That's
more than I can say for some of the others.
What do you know about the will that he left,
the one that he spoke of in the note? Why
should I know about that? You were close to mister Mackenzie.
He confide it in you? No, I know he did.
He must have told you about that will. You don't
know what you're saying. Why I'm on this?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What do you know the will?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Was it in the belly of home? No?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
No, it wasn't in the I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
What you do know? Where it is?
Speaker 8 (18:49):
You also know the answer to the riddle the place
where his soul shall rest?
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Tell me where is this place? Please tell me, Williams.
If he would have heard another murder, you must tell me.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, that's so interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, wherever it wasn't gotten away? Shadow.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I can't talk anymore. I can't, Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I'm going to give you time to reconsider and remember
that by telling what you know, you may save another's life.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Take that over, Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Later you shall receive another visit from the shadow. Then, Mardo,
just when I was about to tell where the will
was hidden, a noise outside the window, flighting him.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Someone was listening to our conversation. I couldn't see it.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I guess that it was our murderer.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Did you hear anyone moving about the house?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
No, I didn't I that, Paul, though I was coming home. Oh,
what was easy just going into the room.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
See, this is one time on which western could get
to the scene of a crime.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
A little pastor. We have too many people to keep
track of. A loan modl Maman, did you.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Hear the come on quickly, some team to come from
down the hall? What were those shots, Bargo.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
We don't know yet, Paul.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh, William's door is open.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Perhaps we better look there for I'll go down the
hall and kids, young Calvin Rea all right, why what
is it?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's no need of going there. I have found the victim.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Who's old William? Oh no, he's been shut through the head.
Come on, an idea not yet can be any one
of the three of them. Why should all William.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Because he knew the whereabouts of admissing will the person
who was listening at the window when they shadow talked
to Williams must have come back to learn his secret.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
And do you think that that person has found it out?
Isn't the old man's talk? I have an idea that
he didn't. If I could only over that riddle search
the place where my soul will west. That's the peep
of the mystery. Mongo.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Do you want to come into the study with me
while I inspect Old Caleb's cobs again?
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Well, I'm not alone either.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
I just want to take another look at the placement
of the knife and the old man, the chef. I've
just had a fantastic notion about his stabbing, and Margot,
the knife is gone gone. Yes, a murderer has wasted
no time in covering up the killer fun.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Of opportunity, Margo. This is Jeff Paul. What can you
tell me about him? What you don't suspect him? I
suspect all fear of them. What can you tell me why?
I don't Paul all my life? He couldn't have killed
his paw. I know we played together as children. Might
be on the estate.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
We have treasure hunts and the Devil's played round him
over the mon.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Where did you say you played the Devil's playground. It's
a large cable up above the Margo. That's it. That
solves the riddle. What are you talking about? Search the
place where my soul will rest? That's what Calebs Andia meant. Margo,
I'm sure of it. The devil's playground.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
If you're right, that's where the will.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Is hidden, exactly, and before many more moments, the shadow
has an appointment there with a murderer.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
I demand to know why you're hearing the Devil's playground
for the.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Family with joy here, my dear stepmother.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And no, that wasn't necessary.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I know this place very.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
Well, and you've come here seeking the will exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
You'll never get it, to understand. Oh, so you found it.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
I found the will and I'm going to keep it.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
You'll forgive my inclusion. I hope I am going as
a shadow. Where are you? I can't, so you don't
worry too much, Marie. No one has ever seen what
you want here.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Shadow.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Well, my clever friend, I have come in quest of
a murderer, and I believe my search has ended. What
do you mean one of you has.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Come here because of the information that you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Learn from Old Williams.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now which of you is that one? Obviously one of
you is lying well well, which to the next point
of you?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
The search? The search for the murderer's gun. I'm sure
that neither of you will object to this, so we'll
just proceed. What makes you so positive? Shadow? But don't
you see, missus McKenzie, this is your check I warn
you don't come here me. Why not, missus McKenzie. Is
it because you're afraid I'll find that gun? Answer my question,
(23:50):
Missus McKenzie, very well, this is my answer.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
What you You have the gun here.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
So keep away from me, both you, particularly mister Shadow.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I don't like your inquisitive spirit. You forget I have
the advantage of invisibility.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I think this gun will remove that's so called advantage.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
So you wish to add me to your list of victims?
Missus McKenzie.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I can't believe that she's sure that is the same
gun that chat Damon and Old Williams, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Missus McKenzie, you're that clever.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You shouldn't have to ask Shadows why Did you do it, Lourie,
I'll answer that Damon was unfortunate enough to be in
her way, and old Williams was killed when you revealed
the hiding place of the will.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Isn't that true? Yeah, that's true. You also feared that
they might be named in the will as your husband's
leg didn't you?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Very interesting? John?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
But of one of bad and she murdered him too. No,
I don't believe so didn't murder dead? No, but she
thought that her son, Caleb did. That's not true. My
boy had nothing to do with my husband's murder, nor
did I.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I admit I did kill Damon william but I had
nothing to do with the first murder.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Did you did? That's a lie. That's a lie.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
You can't plame me for your crime.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Thermometer.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I don't think either of you will kill me of
the murder of Caleb Senior. But who did do it?
We should learn presently.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I've heard enough.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
I'm leading here, and neither of you had.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Better try to stop with don and drummery.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'm sorry, Paul, but you will be the first to go. Don't.
Don't you.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Thank your shadow for serving my life?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
If you don't mind I think I copy in the
will to give me. Now, let's have a look at
this precious paper. Let's go listen to me, missus mc kennedy,
I have having to read to you.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I'm sure as I am, you will point out a
lesson even to you, as I have said.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You thought that your son Caleb kills your husband, you
protect him and your share of the fortune. You murdered too. Men.
Now attached to.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
This will, I find a single slip of paper signed
by Caleb McKenny.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Sea.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Listen to what it says. When you read this, I
shall have permitted suicides in my will, you shall learn
that I have left my entire.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fortune to my wife Marie and her son Caleb Junior. No,
you get tomorrow, missus McKenzie. It's one that I can't
repeat too often. Crime does not say.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And now before we hear from the shadow again, here's
John Barclay America's Home Meeting. But say, mister Buckley, may
I ask you afruct him sadly? Mister King, Oh, I've
often heard you mention the check damper on the furnace,
and I've never quite understood what function it performs.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Is it really necessary? Mister King?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
The best way I can explain the function of the
check damper is by comparing it to the accelerator on
your car. You know how you press down on the
accelerator when you want to go faster, or you mean
that the check damper feeds up the burning of the
cold precisely, when you want your furnace to produce more heat,
you just close the check damper. And when you want
the cold to burn slower, you open the check damper. Oh,
(27:34):
I see, mister Barclay, all I should say, the check damper.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Is very important, mister King.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The check jamper is so important that anyone whose heating
plant is not equipped with one should have it installed immediately.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Well, thank you, mister Barkley. Now I know what it's
all about.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Glad to help you out.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Mister King.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
And if any of you listeners have a heating.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Plant without a check damper, or if you have a
heating problem, here is what you do. Simply call your
neighborhood blue coal dealer tell him you'd like the advice
of John Barkley, trained serviceman.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
This service is free.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Thank you.
