You're surrounded with live sounds, live healing.

Speaker 4: Who let that go out?
Speaker 1: Jay Wellington Merriweather's hat stiffly on the edge of his chair,
long legged, and the scared little boy is going through
his toys in Beacon Street. Mamories. He looks to be
thirteen or fourteen years old. I tried to remember what
it was like to be back young, but too many
years got in my way, I.
Speaker 4: Know, sir. Shall we get down to business?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course. How did you have the contact me,
mister Melloweather.
Speaker 4: I've learned about this quite I can't from the captain
of the ship. I've just arrived around the horn from Boston.
Speaker 1: How was a trip?
Speaker 4: Quite present? After they found me and put me to work.
Before that, I was getting rather hungry found you. Yes, sir,
I was a store away.
Speaker 1: Are you in San Francisco alone? Of course? Did your
parents know that you're here?
Speaker 4: My parents are dead. I lived with my aunt and
uncle in Boston. I ran away from home.
Speaker 1: Mister Calladan, I see, and you'd better tell me why
you came here.
Speaker 4: Boy, precisely. Perhaps this will explain it. Excuse to me.
I have a tin to my undershirt. Uh, this, sir,
is a map. It belonged to my father, and it
came to me through the mail six months ago, along
with this note. You may read it.
Speaker 2: If you like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I promise. He wants to Kelly. Who is
this Kelly?
Speaker 4: I don't know, sir, but there was a return address
on the envelope Lighthouse Balloon Factumental, California.
Speaker 1: Well, tell me, what do you think this map indicates
buried treasure?
Speaker 4: I know it. Childishes me to say that, sir. It's
undoubtedly the location of a gold mining train. But you see,
that's what my father said when he left and came west.
He said he was going to find a buried treasure.
Speaker 1: And he left you with your aunt and uncle.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was after my mother died. He didn't want
to leave me. I understand that now, But he had
to prove something, and that's what I must do, prove
one that they're wrong, Aunt Amelia, until just all of them.
All I ever heard from him was how my father
ran out on his responsibilities, how he was worthless, a failure.
Well he wasn't a failure, and I'm going to find
his treasure and prove it.
Speaker 1: Very important to you, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, do you understand, don't m mister polity?
Speaker 1: I think I'm beginning to understand.
Speaker 4: I shall leave your help, and I wish to hire
your services now regarding financial arrangements, Oh yes, would you
consider have these? I'm a treasure, have these?
Speaker 1: Don't you think it would be wiser if he went
back to Boston and wait until you're older to come
out here to find your father's claim.
Speaker 4: Why, I'm almost sixteen years old.
Speaker 1: Mister Merriwether. If you don't have enough respect for me
to tell me the truth, then you better find someone
else to go with you.
Speaker 4: I guess you're right, sir, I'm sorry, I'm fourteen.
Speaker 1: That's more like it. But you'd let your aunt and
uncle know where you are, perhaps, But I.
Speaker 4: Can never go back until I can prove to them
that my father was just as good as they are,
that he wasn't a failure.
Speaker 1: Now, if you're that determined you'll need some protection, I'll
go along with you. Mister Merriweather, Oh, thank you, sir.
Speaker 4: By the way, the jay stands for John. You may
call me that if you like.
Speaker 1: All right, John Woo. Half of the furry treasure that
probably existed only in the hopes of a young boy
wasn't very good business, But since he had come to
me for help, I could not let him wander around
the California wilderness alone. Two days later, we arrived in
Packer Meadow and checked into a hotel after an early dinner,
and I sent the boy after his room that gets
to sleep. My next move would be to find Kelly,
the man who had sent the map. I wanted more
information about Lee Merriweather, John's father before we started for
the lost mining claims. I inquired at the hotel's desk. Oh,
mister Paladins, your room satisfactory? Oh? Yes, yes, Could you
tell me where I could find the lighthouse balloon the lighthouse, Yes,
that's three blocks now, I said, hey, just take my
Gumley's teach the company ship iron thank you? Or mister yes? Hey?
Speaker 2: Did that gentleman find the boy?
Speaker 1: What gentleman? Well, he was inquiring about the boy checked
in with you and said he was a friend of his.
I told him he could find me weather up in
his room, and I didn't know he was in the
dining room at the time. Did this gentleman go to
the boy's room?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, but he might have.
Speaker 1: Is there something wrong? I'm not sure? Gon Gon? What's
the matter? Boy? What happened?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: My head?
Speaker 4: Somebody hit me on the back.
Speaker 1: Of him had let me help you up? You better
lie down on the bed.
Speaker 4: I think I'm quite all right since just here.
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 4: I came up to the room after I left you downstairs.
When I opened the door, I remember thinking it was
peculiar that the light was on, and then someone hitted
me over the head.
Speaker 1: Did you see who it was?
Speaker 4: No, sir, I didn't peladan. Look my belief. My clothes
all over the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody was looking for that map.
Speaker 4: Why would they hit me over the head? Do you
think they'd ask me for it?
Speaker 1: You probably didn't want you to know who they were.
After they began rummaging to your suitcase.
Speaker 4: I'm probably glad you had the map with you. What
do you make of this, mister Palladin.
Speaker 1: I don't know, John. Maybe your friend Kelly will have
the answer. I go to bed and get some sleep,
and you keep that door locked while I'm gone. Wind
in haste wood like a figurette should because still.
Speaker 4: Half on the head of the filters and the fight.
Speaker 3: Get in the Western cigarette, come tail the bland silent
fine tails to blend the fun and get the Western cigarette.
Speaker 1: Sails to blend silver.
Speaker 4: Blend.
Speaker 1: Is a mighty good reason for you to smoke Winston,
because it means tobagos.
Speaker 7: Especially processed or filter smoking a Winston bigre you get
Winston comes pure white modern filters, but the rich, delightful
flavor of fine tobacco.
Speaker 3: Still punk off on the head of.

Speaker 4: Well. I'm going bester.
Speaker 1: You know anybody here by the name of Kelly.

Speaker 1: Interest Right here?
Speaker 4: Kelly is the boss.
Speaker 1: I like to see him?
Speaker 4: Is he here? Odi? Argal? Right over there, it's the
money table. He's Kim of King Direct.
Speaker 1: I mean got it, Kelly, it's sure. I thank you.
That's Kelly. Yes, my name is Paladan. May I talk
to you? Well, let me ask you this one question?
Did you know Lee Mary wasn't?
Speaker 2: Let that's my business in wait take off for me.
Then we can sit at that table over there. Mister callaghan?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: May I order you a drink?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Thank you? What about Lena Weather?
Speaker 1: Did you want to his son in his Boston?
Speaker 2: What I've got to do with you?
Speaker 1: I'm a friend the boys, and since you've sent him
that map, I guess you are too. The boy and
I are here to find that lost mining thing.
Speaker 2: The boy, his's son is here in Scramento.
Speaker 1: Yes, he came to San Francisco to stowing.
Speaker 6: Why that little punch, mister Pelton, I'd like to see
the boy.
Speaker 2: How do you put into this?
Speaker 1: They in my hotel and asked me to help him
find the mind. I likely to do it. Do you
want to tell me what you know about it?
Speaker 2: Did you know the boy's father?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I was a man worth knowing. He didn't talk much
except about his son. But I think I had him frigid.
Speaker 6: He saw he had to strike a big to prove
to the kid that his old man was a success
expected all over this country.
Speaker 2: I never knew a guy who could run into so
much bad luck.
Speaker 1: Well, and miss Kelly, what about the map?
Speaker 6: He stayed out there three weeks that time. When he
came back, he had a park full of samples of
high grade ore.
Speaker 1: He made it.
Speaker 6: Uh huh. He never worked the claim. He shaped it
and hurried back into town to file. When he got here,
it was late, the essay office was closed, so he
gave me the map of the location in the Pals
to piece for him, and he went out to celebrate.
Speaker 1: I guess you had it coming.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the word got around about him making a rich strike.
Somebody must have realized he didn't have time to file
and figured he had the map on him. He was
waylaid knife and thirty left foot dead.
Speaker 1: Did they find who did it?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: Lee somehow managed to get back here to my place.
Speaker 6: That's when he asked me to send the map back
there to Boston to the kid and said something about
how he kept his promise.
Speaker 2: Missi Paladin. That plain hasn't been filed, so it belongs
to anyone who finds it.
Speaker 1: Yes, I understand.
Speaker 2: Then don't let anyone know you have that map.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the trouble, miss Kelly, if someone already knows
about it and he runs out this room tonight while
we were having dinner.
Speaker 2: You know who it was?
Speaker 1: No, No, I thought you might be able to help
me after that.
Speaker 2: Oh, it could be one of a dozen men. Whoever
it was, he knows you're in town. You'll find out
soon enough who it was.
Speaker 1: You're right, miss Kelly, I'll find him. It was late
when I reached the hotel. A single dim lamp burned
in the lobby, and it took me a moment before
I noticed John sitting in the corner talking to a
strange man. Oh, mister palady, John, you're supposed to be
in bed.
Speaker 4: I couldn't sleep. I came down stairs to see if
I could get a glass of milk and go. I
met mister Morse here, mister Morris, Missipalody.
Speaker 1: Hello, you know my father, yay new Merriweather. Very well
understand you're going out looking for that lost claiming his
If we are as a private adventure figure, you're wrong.
Belongs to whoever finds it first. A lot of people
are inserted in that claim. Are you mister Morse, Well,
of course i am. I'm a mining man. Mister Pallamy,
would you be interested enough to knock that boy over
the head from maps you think he might have? Oh,
I don't know what you're talking about. If you're with
the one Morse, I'll find out soon enough. Meanwhile, you
stay away from that boy. Constipation is something people 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 head dish to say elaxity be effective, gentle,
as close the natural acting as possible, and the medicine
that can be used with complete confidence. Now x FLAGS
has been popular with many doctors and millions of people
over the years because present tasting comforted x FLAGS is
effective overnight, it helps you toward your normal regularity. xFE
is gentle next morning. It gives you the closest things
of natural actions. And that's why many doctors and millions
of people you are it was important to have time
on our side. Now that it was known. We have
the map. I got geared together and we started early
the next morning. I told John about Kelly and what
he had said about his body be seen. Pleased. The
map was clearly marked, well drawn. On the second day
we found the stake out playing well there there is John,
no wonder, no one concerned it. Tunnel opening is all
covered with that brush. But this has to be it.
Here's a discovery monument, you Monston. That pile of rock, Yeah,
the location notice is buried there, the rocks is set up,
the market the tunnel. Yeah, sure, helped me clear this
brush away.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Your father must have tunneled into this hill just far
enough to to satisfy himself.
Speaker 4: There was gold.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 4: May we go in?
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, bringing up pick watch the falling rocks.
There's no shoring away. Yeah, here's the alleged he work.

brought back. Hand me that picture. See what we have here? Yeah,
pretty dark in here, John, When you get a couple
of those channels he stored in our gear.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: M m yeah hm, it's strange. You can stop your
work now, Paladin. I'm checking over this claim. Yeah, you
didn't waste much time. I'm much obliged to you if
they showed me the way since I couldn't find the
map in the boy's room. Is that a knife you
have in my bag? That's right, A nice killed Meryweather. Yeah,
I get quite an investment already in this claim. It's
the poor investment. This claim is worthless. I saw some
of your that come out of here. There's a shallow pocket.
Merryweather was too excited over what he'd found the checking.
I don't believe you. Uh huh, you're a mining man.
See for yourself. I can't see.
Speaker 4: Who I can use a gun too. Paladin, it's the Paladin.
Are you all right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: When I came back with the candles, I heard you
talking with mister. I wanted to help you, but I
was afraid to come in.
Speaker 1: Now I'm glad you stayed out of the way. John.
I well, I to go back to town. Tell you
a sorry. If we found the man who murdered your father,
he met with the man. Yeah, he's dead.
Speaker 4: Man was he's the one who hit me in my room? Yes,
mister Pelton. When I was outside I heard you talking.
That was Trevor. What you told him about the claim
being worth us.
Speaker 1: Wasn't being clever John, That's the truth. Oh no, sir,
It was a long silent drive back to back of land.
I knew that Kelly could help me make the boy understand.
We found her in her office. You met John for
the first time.
Speaker 4: He looked like your father. Boy. Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: We thought you should know, Kelly, he found the Q
didn't pay out.
Speaker 2: Oh well that happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a great disappointment to John here.
Speaker 2: Of course. It was Wait, I have something for you.
I've been saying it for you, John. These are the
ore samples your father dug out of that plane. That's
a good or rich too bad. That's all there is.
