Speaker 1: You can stay in this cabin and fight it out,
or face the men who are waiting to lynch you.
Either way, it's a poor choice. Have Gone, Will Travel,

Speaker 7: This is Frank Knight speaking for a lawn Geam, the
world's most honored watch. It's wonderful to win a Nobel
Prize in science, a Pulitzer Award in literature, and Olympic
Gold Medal in sports in the field of time. Did
you know that lawn gene watches have won more great
public honors for excellence, elegance and accuracy than any other
watch in the world. This is true for close to
a century. The highest authorities have ranked lawn gene watches
as the finest achievement in the science.
Speaker 5: And art of watchmaking.
Speaker 7: Yet for a surprisingly modest cost, you may own or
proudly give a long gaen, the world's most honored one,
much the world's most honored gift, styled with distinction, caste
and precious metal, promising a lifetime or thoughtless time keeping.
See your authorized launching with no jeweler. He will be
honored to serve you.
Speaker 8: The job was finished.
Speaker 1: The man who had hired me in Salinas had given
me an extra hundred dollars to prove that.
Speaker 4: He was pleased, and I.
Speaker 1: Was on my way back to San Francisco. It was
good to be alone on horseback. As I rode through
the verdant coastal valley, I was reminded of Illinois as
I had known it when I was younger. In my imagination,
I could see myself riding along on my father's farm,
everything very green and sparkling wonderfully. New hours became minutes.
Then suddenly I realized it was almost sundown and I
was lost. I had apparently taken the wrong turnative fork
a few miles back. My plans had been to stay
overnight in Morgan Hill with an old friend, but now
i'd have to bet down.
Speaker 8: On the trail after I found water.
Speaker 1: While I was looking for a stream, I saw some
smoke circling over the tree tops a couple of hundred
yards ahead. A closer look revealed a small cabin nestled
in the grove of eucalyptus.
Speaker 5: Ey, boy, this is private property. Hole your fire.
Speaker 8: I'm not trespassing.
Speaker 4: This is my land. Strangers ain't welcome. I'll come your
nosing around here. I was looking for a creek. My
horse needs water. People's gonna look for creeks in these parts.
Everybody around here as friendly as you.
Speaker 8: Just be on your way. Mister.
Speaker 1: Look, I've been riding all day. If you look at
my horse, you can tell you me it's water.
Speaker 8: You've got a well.
Speaker 4: I'd be willing to pay how much you tell me
it's your water? You willing to pay two dollars?
Speaker 8: That's your price.
Speaker 4: Let me see the money here, all right, you can't
have the water. Dismount and walk your horse up to
that truck by the pump.
Speaker 6: I'll be right.
Speaker 4: Behind you with this right, all right, walk.
Speaker 8: And you're mighty free without a rifle.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of horse stealing lately. You got
a lot of horses you are back. They're good ones,
they're worth stealing. I don't take any chances. Let's see
a man. Don't just happen to wander out of my land.
This ain't on the road to no place.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here if I hadn't got lost. I
was on my way to Morgan Hill. You're better than
ten miles from Morgan Hill.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 8: There's not much water in the trunk.
Speaker 4: There's more when that's gone.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I won't have any luck picking up that
trail before morning.
Speaker 8: It's going to be a dark knight, sir.
Speaker 6: What is it, Agnes?
Speaker 3: Supper is on the table.
Speaker 6: I'll be in in a minute.
Speaker 3: What's he doing here?
Speaker 8: Water in his horse?
Speaker 3: Derek? I heard the shooting?
Speaker 4: What was it?
Speaker 6: Nothing?
Speaker 3: Who's that man with you?
Speaker 4: Stranger?
Speaker 3: Is he staying for supper?
Speaker 8: No? I don't need more water?
Speaker 6: Well you just pump at yourself, Tuck.
Speaker 3: Why did you hit him?
Speaker 4: I don't trust him?
Speaker 5: You killed him.
Speaker 6: He ain't dead, he ain't moving.
Speaker 3: Why do you do it?
Speaker 4: I a'm to find out who he is.
Speaker 3: He looks like he's breathing.
Speaker 6: He's breathing.
Speaker 4: There ought to be something in this wallet telling who
he is.
Speaker 8: Here.
Speaker 4: You read the printing on this card.
Speaker 3: It says have gun, will travel wire Paladin, San Francisco.
Speaker 4: His name is Paladin, and that card means he's a
hired gun.
Speaker 3: You don't think I might have known?
Speaker 4: Come snooping around here near Doc saying he's lost.
Speaker 3: You think the ranch is hired him?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Probably old Fred Mooseley. I got more of his
horses than any others.
Speaker 3: Don't pay, really does go?
Speaker 6: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Always run and hide and pretend and don't mount to
a thing. We could make a better living digging clams
on the beach. Horse, Stephen, don't amount to a thingr Now, don't.
Speaker 6: Start that again.
Speaker 4: You just get us ready to move out of here.
By son, what are you gonna do with him? I

of dynamite inside my head. I tried to reach up
and stop the throbbing, but my hands wouldn't move. They
were tied behind my back. I tried to move my legs,
but I only felt the rope that was binding them together.
Speaker 8: Finally, when I was able.
Speaker 1: To focus my eyes, I found I was lying on
a bed in the corner of the cabin. In the
middle of the room, there was a table with a
dim lap on it, and the woman Agnes was bending
over a box, stuffing it with pots and pans. She
must have heard me move because she looked up.
Speaker 4: Oh, finally, woke up.
Speaker 8: Mah uh right, why did he hit me?
Speaker 3: It can be thankful he didn't kill you.
Speaker 8: Why would he want to kill me?
Speaker 3: We're on to you, mister. Dirk thought you looked suspicious,
and he was right. He found your card. We know
you was hired by the ranchers to come after Dirk.
Speaker 8: I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: I suppose you deny. Your name's Paladin.
Speaker 8: No, that's my name.
Speaker 3: Well, don't be tricking me. You can be honest with
me because I saved your life. Dirk wanted to kill you,
but I talked him out of it. You can thank
me for that.
Speaker 8: I'm grateful. I do thank you.
Speaker 3: It ain't your skin I'm worried about. I'm just not
going to have my husband.
Speaker 4: Start killing Why would the ranchers hire me to get Dirk?
Speaker 3: There you go again.
Speaker 8: I listen.
Speaker 4: I don't know who your husband is or what he's done.
I was lost.
Speaker 1: Smoke from your cabin led me here. I wasn't hired
by any ranchers. I don't know anybody this side of
Morgan Hill.
Speaker 8: I believe me. I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 3: If you are, we wouldn't have to move on.
Speaker 8: I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 3: We could stay here, dirt.
Speaker 2: Yerk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come in here.
Speaker 8: You believe me?
Speaker 3: Maybe I do.
Speaker 4: I wasn't lying.
Speaker 3: I'd like to believe you. Maybe because I'm tired of running.
Maybe because I like this valley, This cabin seems like
a home.
Speaker 4: I told you to keep the door closed. What do
you want?
Speaker 3: He woke up?
Speaker 4: Is that why you called me in here?
Speaker 3: I was talking to him. I think you ought to
hear what he's got to say.
Speaker 4: You don't have time to prate with bounty hunters. I
got the wagon hitched up. Are you done with a package?
Speaker 3: He says he wasn't hired by the ranchers.
Speaker 4: He's been giving you some soft talk. He always was
a sucker for soft talk. I wasn't soft talking your wife.
The ranchers didn't hire me.
Speaker 3: If he's telling the truth, we don't have to run.
Speaker 4: I'm not taking any chance now, So life getting down
on the floor.
Speaker 5: OK.
Speaker 3: Can you see anything?
Speaker 4: No? Now, it's pitch dark out there. Come on out, rk.
Speaker 1: We know what jud when.
Speaker 3: Our horse come on that spread.
Speaker 4: Moseley all night, get me Moseley. There's the answer to
your soft talking friend, Agnes.
Speaker 8: Listen to me.
Speaker 4: She was beginning to believe you. I was right you
was hired by the Mosley Game.
Speaker 8: I don't know. Mostly I didn't know you were a
horse thief.
Speaker 4: You ain't even a good liar.
Speaker 1: Look, if you'll untie me, I'll prove to you I'm
not with those men. I'll help you out of here
and see to it you get a fair trial. Otherwise
that will hang you.
Speaker 3: Derek. Maybe if we've seen trick in this.
Speaker 4: Again, don't listen to him, Magnus, he lent those men here.
I should have killed you in the first place, and
I cheat you now, but I got a better plan.
Speaker 3: Ose.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got your man tied up in here. What man?
Speaker 1: The man you hired to come.
Speaker 4: After me, weren't hiring man? He says he was hired
for you. His name's Pilot him. I'm gonna shoot him
if you don't leave me be.

Speaker 4: You're working your breath trying a poolers, sir.
Speaker 6: If you don't come.
Speaker 4: Out, we'll burn out. Do you believe me now, Dirk?
Speaker 3: Maybe he was telling the truth.
Speaker 4: It don't matter now whether I have a believe you
or not. They're going to burn the cabin.
Speaker 1: Paladin, what would you do if we untied, you help
to see that your husband doesn't get lynch.
Speaker 4: How can you do that while there's at least three
men out there and they're not going to settle for
anything less than a luncheon, no matter what you or
anybody else says to him.
Speaker 1: Besides, or do you care if I hang or not?
I believe in a fair trial man's guilty it should
be decided in the courtroom, trial or no trial.
Speaker 4: I'm going to hang. At least you wouldn't hang the night.
You'll have a chance to hire a good lawyer.
Speaker 3: Are you coming after or you want to stay there
and try?
Speaker 5: Helen?
Speaker 4: How do you figure on getting me this fair trial
you're talking about? Give yourself up.
Speaker 8: They'll take you nearby.
Speaker 4: I can follow you and surprise them before they get
the rope around your neck.
Speaker 1: Agnes can go with me with a shotgun, with us
under covering the dark, the odds will be just about even.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, maybe it'll work. But there's just
one thing you didn't mention. What's that Agnes will stay
behind you all the way with that shotgun and shield
shoots you if you don't do what you.
Speaker 6: Just now said.
Speaker 4: Fair Enough, all right agnes on time.

and commentators see that you're kept well informed, kept alert
to the constantly changing pattern of world events. Clear, colorful,
complete CBS News on CBS Radio. Fred Moseley didn't believe
there was another man in the cabin. I hid behind
the door, but they didn't bother to come inside. They
were only interested in Dirk. Agnes stood outside until they
were gone, and a few minutes later we were on
horseback following the sound of Moseley and his men.
Speaker 3: Paladin. Yeah, I'm scared.
Speaker 8: For yourself, for Dirk, For Dirk. Don't think about it.
Speaker 3: Ain't no cause for me to hold his shot gun
on you.
Speaker 4: There, no, no, there isn't huh.
Speaker 3: I can feel it. You're different from most. You're clean.
There ain't no pretending with you. I know that for sure.

Speaker 6: A man brought him.
Speaker 4: By my place.
Speaker 3: You already got the rope tight on his neck.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ready, just slapped the horse out from under him.
Speaker 8: Stay behind this rock.
Speaker 4: Keep the shotgun trained on Moseley, but don't shoot unless
you have to see. Don't get it.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna move up closer.
Speaker 4: Horse get rided or slapping when I who's that?
Speaker 1: I got four men with me, im with the shotguns.
We say, you're not gonna hang Dirk.
Speaker 4: Come on out here where.
Speaker 5: I can see you. Not likely. Why do you want
to stop a hanger? He's a horse thieve. Clear out
Moseley before we start shooting. How do I know there's
four of you?
Speaker 4: Try us?
Speaker 2: You don't leave me much choice, mister.
Speaker 5: You can't fight me in we can't see.

He ain't moving, but I know he's all right.
Speaker 8: Any he's dead.
Speaker 3: We didn't stop him.
Speaker 2: Did we.
Speaker 3: Slap that horse out from under Dirk?
Speaker 5: Right before our very eyes?
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Agnes.
Speaker 3: You tried. That's all you could do.
Speaker 4: You want to cry, Agnes, go ahead, didn't help.
Speaker 3: I don't want to cry. I knew it was going
to happen one way or another. That's why I was scared.
But it's all over now and I'm not scared anymore.
Speaker 1: How would you like to help solve a mystery? This
is a medical mystery, the mystery of MS multiple sclerosis.
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic crippling disease of the central
nervous system. It can affect various parts of the body
and usually puts its victims in wheelchairs. Those victims, thousands
of them, are hit mainly in young adulthood, in the
age group between twenty and forty. Nearly all of them,
when they're told they have multiple sclerosis, they've never dreamed
it could happen to them. As a matter of fact,
it can happen to anybody. That's one of the few
things we know about MS. Much of the rest is
a mystery. But you can help solve that mystery. Its
solution will come through painstaking, costly medical and scientific research.
The money for this research must come from the MS
Hope Chest. Help fill that Hope Chest. Now give new
hope to thousands of sufferers from MS by giving to
your nearest chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society or sending
your contribution to MS in care of your local postmaster.
