Speaker 1: From New York, the makers of flipper Craft clothes from Men,
Speaker 1: and two hundred and thirty six leading retail stors from
Speaker 1: coast to coast present the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
Speaker 1: created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
Speaker 1: by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
Speaker 1: dramatations are by Edith Miser.
Speaker 2: Well, here we are, once again, settled comfortably in front
Speaker 2: of doctor Watson's cheerful fireplace outside the winter, with whale's life. Well,
Speaker 2: let's see, what does the wind sound like tonight, doctor Watson?
Speaker 2: A last soul or a baffle vanshy?
Speaker 3: What we said, he, mister Harris, that wind sounds rather
Speaker 3: like bast the ancient Egyptian cat goddess sometimes called u Bastists.
Speaker 3: She howls, they say, if anyone understands the graves of
Speaker 3: those who have consecrated themselves to her.
Speaker 4: Oh, come now, doctor Watson, you don't believe that sort
Speaker 4: of nonsense. You I'm not so sure, mister Harris. I'm
Speaker 4: not so sure.
Speaker 3: One fell and autumn night as Holmes and I crossed
Speaker 3: the wind swept was that surround the King's Thailand? We
Speaker 3: heard such a cry, a strange, harsh jutulation that struck
Speaker 3: a chill to our marrow bones. And it's for good heavens,
Speaker 3: there I go again, forgetting my manners.
Speaker 4: After all, you have something rather important to say, I believe,
Speaker 4: mister Harrison. Well, I generally have doctor Watson. And speaking
Speaker 4: of wind.
Speaker 1: And chill, there's nothing like a clipper craft over good
Speaker 1: to keep mouching on correct pity.
Speaker 4: Holmes and I went wearing a kipper craft that night
Speaker 4: of dark Moya. Now, doctors, this is my part of
Speaker 4: the entertainment. Oh sorry, old men, pussy.
Speaker 1: Thank you. There are now ten hundred thirty six fine
Speaker 1: stores across the nation that sell clippercraft clothes. Then a
Speaker 1: tribute to the efficiency of the Clippercraft plan. And that's
Speaker 1: a tribute also to the tremendous demand that an alert
Speaker 1: American public is built for clippercraft. In the Clippercraft plan,
Speaker 1: you see these ten hundred thirty six stores concentrate their
Speaker 1: buying power, affecting tremendous savings the year round.
Speaker 2: In manufacturing and distribution, costs. These savings are all yours,
Speaker 2: and it's a.
Speaker 1: Mighty nice thing to be able to outfit yourself with
Speaker 1: values so exceptional at your own local independence store where
Speaker 1: you get real service and friendly personal tension. Clippercraft suits
Speaker 1: are only forty and forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats
Speaker 1: and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
Speaker 4: Only twenty six to fifty.
Speaker 1: Seeing is believing to convince yourself beyond the shadow of
Speaker 1: a doubt. Simply compare clippercraft with clothes selling for many
Speaker 1: dollars more And after return to that icy wind on
Speaker 1: the Morris, Doc Watson.
Speaker 3: When, as a matter of fact, mister Harris, that's not
Speaker 3: where this adventure had its inception. It was a brisk
Speaker 3: all day rather early in the century. After could deal arguments.
Speaker 3: I had persuaded Holmes to accompany me on a constitutional
Speaker 3: through Kensington Gardens our listeners doubtless, No, Holmes was never
Speaker 3: a man who took exercises if he could avoid it.
Speaker 4: Lethargic sorted fellow. He doctor Watts were necessarily needless to say.
Speaker 4: When we returned to Baker.
Speaker 3: Street somewhere around five I was the one who was
Speaker 3: popping like a grampus, while Holmes downed up the steps
Speaker 3: as easily as a greyhound. Were met at the front
Speaker 3: door by Missus Hudson, the Shepherdine and general fact tutum
Speaker 3: of our bachelor domain.
Speaker 4: Ah, Missus Hudson, what's up?
Speaker 5: It's way past your tea time.
Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, Oh the places with team Adam. Give us
Speaker 4: an early supper.
Speaker 5: What's more, a gentleman was dear white It upstairs half
Speaker 5: an hour he stamping up and down on my ceilings.
Speaker 5: I thought the chandelier would come loose.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a client day Watson. Well, we could do
Speaker 4: with a case hose. The exchequer is getting a bit low.
Speaker 4: Bother the exchequer. Oh he's sake, Oh, relaxed, we're home,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 5: Instead, it'd be best if it's a case. See that
Speaker 5: he pays. Looks like he had money.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, missus Hudson's correct. Darley visitor undoubtedly had money.
Speaker 4: He got away. But what made you think the blighter
Speaker 4: was acquent to? Can't you smell it? He smoked the
Speaker 4: very best tobacco. The matter he came to consultants about
Speaker 4: must have been earli he's left his pipe here on the.
Speaker 2: Table, a nice brier with a longish stem of what
Speaker 2: the tobacco is funding for amber. Yes, he must have
Speaker 2: been thoroughly disturbed to leave behind a piping value so highly.
Speaker 3: Oh boy dash, how can you possibly know how he
Speaker 3: values his sick pie and the benry.
Speaker 2: My dear Watson elementary. The pipe has been twice mended,
Speaker 2: once in the wooden stand and once in the amber,
Speaker 2: each time with a silver band costing more than the
Speaker 2: pipe originally. What's more, he's been here before because, having
Speaker 2: run out of his own mixture, he's helped himself to
Speaker 2: a pipe for from the Persian slipper on the mantelpiece.
Speaker 4: No casuals Craine, you would know that's where I keep
Speaker 4: my tobacco. But but here's a step up stairs. Come in,
Speaker 4: Come in, confounded man. Why don't you stay at home?
Speaker 4: Way of a long hose? It's colonel Rough. I'm viercely,
Speaker 4: my dear Watson.
Speaker 2: Or bring our visitor a chair and a slight sedative,
Speaker 2: some sort of Saint brandy and soda. I don't need
Speaker 2: a brandy, Yes I do, confounded, a double brandy. But
Speaker 2: don't tell me you've had another disaster on the boors
Speaker 2: at King's Pyland.
Speaker 4: Will you have that, mister Holmes. But this time is
Speaker 4: not man that's been murdered. It's a horse worse, much worse.
Speaker 6: Let me tell you there are many men equal of
Speaker 6: Blazing Star.
Speaker 4: Good Lord, Blazing Star. Isn't that your entry for the
Speaker 4: Wessex Cup, Sir? It was dofter Watson.
Speaker 2: It was ha Blazing Star. Watson was reading me an
Speaker 2: item about it just the other day. I believe he's
Speaker 2: the son of the famous Silver Blaze.
Speaker 7: Out of lady luck.
Speaker 4: You were able to rescue his side before me, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: He's time to in the Wessex Cup. What a race, that, Holmes.
Speaker 6: But it's too late to do anything for poor Blazing Star.
Speaker 6: By the rod, Harry, I mean to catch up with
Speaker 6: the scum of the killer. And when I do, war
Speaker 6: was contented. There's a special reservation in the last hell
Speaker 6: for any man who miss tree.
Speaker 2: Dnimiles quite but tell me exactly what happened at King's Pilon,
Speaker 2: Colonel Ross, you.
Speaker 4: Remember ned Hunter, mister Holmes. He was in charge of
Speaker 4: the stable at the time Silver Blaze was adopted. Yes,
Speaker 4: fine fellow, reliable and trustworthy.
Speaker 6: It's been promoted to the post of trainer since Uras
Speaker 6: saw him, but he still sleeps in.
Speaker 4: The stable, doesn't does anyone else to do it.
Speaker 2: Blazing Star, like his sire of Forton, was the favorite
Speaker 2: for the West Cup. I believe that's right, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: So Ned was being extra particular. None of those stable
Speaker 2: boys were allowed to go near the horse. Ned groomed
Speaker 2: and exercise him himself. No one else laid a hand
Speaker 2: on the work. Can't take too many precautions with a winner, Holmes.
Speaker 4: Donned rock Watson Well.
Speaker 6: Yesterday afternoon I went down to the stables myself to
Speaker 6: watch Blazing Star workouts.
Speaker 8: Haha.
Speaker 4: I wish you could have seen him.
Speaker 6: The sunshine glint on his chestnut coat like a fiery streck.
Speaker 4: He was coming down the stretch. Never went better in
Speaker 4: his life.
Speaker 6: Well, I went into supper and cleared a place off
Speaker 6: the mantel, the same place we kept the Whissex camp
Speaker 6: when Silver Plays went it.
Speaker 4: Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of
Speaker 4: the just. But along about two o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 4: I was awakened by Ned Hunter. As I lift the lamp,
Speaker 4: I could see.
Speaker 6: His face white as a sheet, and his hands shook
Speaker 6: as though he had.
Speaker 4: The possy.
Speaker 8: Day Dad, what's up?
Speaker 4: What's the matter? Man? It's the star, sir. He's took bad.
Speaker 4: I better go for the vets. Good Lord, what happened?
Speaker 4: He seemed in great shape this afternoon. I can't explain it, sir,
Speaker 4: unless it was that cat upset him. You know how
Speaker 4: he always hated cat, A white cat. We don't keep
Speaker 4: any cats. Well, black cat it was, sir.
Speaker 7: Can't say I've ever seen it before, but when I
Speaker 7: was taking in his bunk of carrots, I always gives
Speaker 7: him before I touched him in for the night. A
Speaker 7: black cat goes out of nowhere and slips into the
Speaker 7: store between the lakes. Well, sir, you know how the
Speaker 7: Star is about cats. He started stamping and winning like
Speaker 7: he was possessed. Hey, you to me, no, I'll we
Speaker 7: get this cat out here before she's killed.
Speaker 9: Oh, easy, star, You.
Speaker 6: See that cat came out of here like a bad out,
Speaker 6: bell blazing like the devil himself.
Speaker 4: And hell, hell, she's waked the star on the flag.
Speaker 7: She's drawn blood, easy boy, easy, Hey, Tommy, bring the ointment.
Speaker 4: The stars hurt?
Speaker 6: Well, mister Holmes, did hunters down the scratch and tried
Speaker 6: to quiet the horse, but Star was restless. Wrong about midnight,
Speaker 6: theyd noticed his breathing was getting heavy and labored, and
Speaker 6: he put up quite a sweat. They had rubbed him
Speaker 6: down again, but he kept getting worse instead of better.
Speaker 4: So I went for the bit.
Speaker 6: He's a new man in the district and supposed to
Speaker 6: know all is to know about animals, and I brought.
Speaker 4: Him back with me. Ned looked like he'd seen a coached.
Speaker 6: Ned. This is mister peoples new veterany sarcheon. He'll bring
Speaker 6: this Star around for us. I'm afraid the stars past
Speaker 6: helps her. I've never seen the lake just seemed to
Speaker 6: collapse him from my eyes. His bets sort of sad,
Speaker 6: and his niece gave way. Pretty soon. He couldn't stand
Speaker 6: up no more. He's lying in there on the straw pretty.
Speaker 4: He had gone, dah, you better take mister Peebles right in.
Speaker 6: Ned, yes, sir, this way, said, can't found it if
Speaker 6: anything happens to that horse.
Speaker 4: He was so fit this afternoon. Oh it's quiet around here.
Speaker 4: If I could just hear the old boy breathing.
Speaker 10: Three o'clock where these roes that blasted cat came from
Speaker 10: brah rubbish. No one dies for can't scratch and then
Speaker 10: the cats around him a year certainly on the black cats.
Speaker 11: Well, mister Feebles, how is he?
Speaker 4: What's the verdict?
Speaker 11: I'm sorry, Colonel ross He's cancer died very quietly of
Speaker 11: old age.
Speaker 2: Say the bet pronounced Blazing Star dead of old age,
Speaker 2: Colonel Rossa, that's impossible at homes to with this cup
Speaker 2: is a race for five year old ex Actually.
Speaker 4: Basing Star w five year old last month. Yet when
Speaker 4: I when did.
Speaker 6: To look at his body, is it lay there in
Speaker 6: this tall I'd have sworn he was the oldest horse
Speaker 6: I'd ever seen.
Speaker 4: Temples caved in, coat dry and grayish hip bones protruding.
Speaker 2: You don't think anyone could have switched horses while dead
Speaker 2: hunter came to inform you the horse was taken sick.
Speaker 4: No, mister Holmes, I know racing star anywhere. The star
Speaker 4: on the forehead, he'd interrot it from his father.
Speaker 6: The white of four foot in a long scar has
Speaker 6: left hide leg where he'd cut himself, and a bit
Speaker 6: of wire.
Speaker 4: Where As a two year ago that horse was star
Speaker 4: full five years ago last month, he couldn't have died
Speaker 4: of old age. Fantastic in the cabs, toys and quite
Speaker 4: many people. Of course, will Propit by his death had
Speaker 4: the bit of the strangers. In the neighborhood of King's Pilum.
Speaker 2: These last few weeks, Cone Rosser, there has been a
Speaker 2: band of wandering Gypsies camping on the moors.
Speaker 4: Of course, gypsies have many curious and little gnome poisons.
Speaker 4: They'd be quite apt to keep a black cat.
Speaker 3: Once more, and his claws had been dipped in some
Speaker 3: obscure venom they.
Speaker 4: Possibly Watson, possibly toy Culross.
Speaker 2: What's become of your erstwhile neighbor and rival, Lord Blackwater,
Speaker 2: who owned the Britain stables Sat Braggar.
Speaker 6: Haven't seen him since the Fair of silver Blace. He
Speaker 6: was ruled off the turf off that town. Foster sell
Speaker 6: his horses serves him jollywill ride. Maypleton has been unoccupied
Speaker 6: until recently. Fart a month ago, I understand, was leased
Speaker 6: to a professor in Egypt.
Speaker 4: Just I believe these a recluse.
Speaker 6: Spends most of his time in laboratory, fixed up for
Speaker 6: himself in the old study. Mary Baxter, our maid sister
Speaker 6: kings hous Fen, says to a queer sort of a
Speaker 6: chap works behind locked doors all night and sleeps all day.
Speaker 6: Unhealthy sort of life, Hey, homes, Yes.
Speaker 2: There are several factors around King's Pylon that don't sound
Speaker 2: healthy to me. Cone Once I suggest that Watson and
Speaker 2: I take the morning train for Exeter to investigate the situation.
Speaker 6: I hoped you'd say that, mister Holmes, I've told him
Speaker 6: not to dispose of Star's body until you arrive.
Speaker 4: Spending. I suppose you want me to take mere revolver, Hey, Holmes,
Speaker 4: your revolver.
Speaker 2: And that little black satul that contains your medical kit.
Speaker 2: This sum as I'm very much mistaken as the kids
Speaker 2: in which we should be prepared for anything. Well, Watson,
Speaker 2: now that you've finished farough examination of the cadama, what's
Speaker 2: your verdict?
Speaker 4: That was right? Hose? The horse obviously a holy But
Speaker 4: I tell you that it's impossible racing Star was only
Speaker 4: a little over five years old. Ned here will bear
Speaker 4: me out.
Speaker 7: That's right, gentlemen, horse doesn't die of old eight and
Speaker 7: five years.
Speaker 4: Looks like Blazing Starring going to be the other one neither. Aw,
Speaker 4: don't tell me another one of the horses has caught
Speaker 4: the Meladay. It's not one of the horses. Sir, it's
Speaker 4: the sheep. I noticed it when I went out to
Speaker 4: the pedagraphter you left this morning, they stood there, all
Speaker 4: addled together, shivering. Then gradually, all day long they kept
Speaker 4: getting older and older. You could first see them do it.
Speaker 4: Their eyes are roomy, and their voice is weak. And oh,
Speaker 4: some of them can hardly keep on their feet, like
Speaker 4: those sheep. We're young. Most of them are dropped in
Speaker 4: this year's leaving season. What do you make of it,
Speaker 4: Doctor Watson? Have you ever heard of old age being contagious?
Speaker 3: There have been isolated cases, Colonel Ross, where young and
Speaker 3: healthy individuals have developed a wasting way that Robert resembles
Speaker 3: the appearance of age.
Speaker 4: I hardly think it possible. Who's this running across the
Speaker 4: moors in the sunset? Looks like a woman, a hair
Speaker 4: flying loose, a shawl flapping in the wind. She's staggering
Speaker 4: as if she would runk. It's Maddie, Colonel Ross. Her
Speaker 4: that works over at Mapleton. She is not suffering from
Speaker 4: the effects of alcohol. It's pipe that's upset her. It's sheer.
Speaker 5: Terror comes cut Ross. Will you take me in this night?
Speaker 5: I'm never going back. I'm never going back that again.
Speaker 5: I knew he was even the minute dilaid eyes on
Speaker 5: the man, and now I've seen him. The butcher hears.
Speaker 4: Is of Google always Mattie.
Speaker 5: The Master him at least mapletons.
Speaker 12: It's so the house full of human statues, the lower
Speaker 12: part man and the upper part beef.
Speaker 2: Those would be the statues of the ancient Egyptian gods
Speaker 2: Ra the hawk, and you miss the dog and bust
Speaker 2: the cat against us.
Speaker 5: That's what he calls her, the blast that rides everywhere
Speaker 5: with him on his shoulder.
Speaker 12: Sad eyes are alike him and the cats, both green,
Speaker 12: and they both can look at you without even blinking.
Speaker 5: Only his head moves through side to side while he
Speaker 5: stays at you. I said, his head. It don't never
Speaker 5: olds two. He's a ghoul, that's what it is. They've
Speaker 5: been bringing him boxes for weeks now.
Speaker 12: Six boxes, big like coffins a lot. He drives up
Speaker 12: in the day of night, and they carry the.
Speaker 5: Box into his study and he locks the door behind it.
Speaker 5: The last anyone ever seen of them boxes or what's
Speaker 5: in them.
Speaker 4: Never seen them in traces when you go into Cleveland Study.
Speaker 5: I've never been allowed in.
Speaker 12: No one's ever been allowed in that study except the
Speaker 12: man what brings the boxes, and then only for a
Speaker 12: minute while he puts them down. Today the men come
Speaker 12: with another big box. Only they brought it before it
Speaker 12: was dark. The master fell in a rage when he
Speaker 12: saw him bible.
Speaker 5: When they brought the box in and set it down
Speaker 5: in the study. He was that worked up. There were
Speaker 5: flex the foe on his lips.
Speaker 4: You widiots, how often have I told you not to
Speaker 4: come here by daylight? Our governor shurns your boat.
Speaker 6: Down, and there's a store coming up, maybe partner of
Speaker 6: the wrong way to drive back to Tome.
Speaker 4: We don't like them recurting the moors in the storm
Speaker 4: at night. Oh you don't. Well, this is the last
Speaker 4: time you need to come here. People who are for
Speaker 4: me a pain in my orders, your pain get out.
Speaker 4: You'll be going have a fear.
Speaker 5: He Oh, he's a terror with getting one of his rages.
Speaker 4: Or you were here.
Speaker 5: I I'm the housemaid.
Speaker 4: I know what it is. He's gotten them boxes we
Speaker 4: bring him.
Speaker 5: Haven't a notion that room's always kept locked.
Speaker 4: He never so much as looks so killed. Oh, I'd
Speaker 4: never do that. It's not right, maybe not, but I
Speaker 4: better be interesting. Hey, come along theres wire we recording
Speaker 4: the Moors. Heard at heart? All right?
Speaker 5: Lit the lamp in there. It shows through the keyhole
Speaker 5: he's taking the lid off the box. I can hear
Speaker 5: the neighbors s creak. I would sort of like to
Speaker 5: know what's in it. One peak wouldn't hurt. I guess, Hello, there's.
Speaker 12: Another box inside of the first one. It's got a
Speaker 12: painted face and hands. Now he's taken that little too.
Speaker 5: There's something lying inside. It's got a face too and hands.
Speaker 8: All it's a woman, she said. It's a woman's body,
Speaker 8: great Scott.
Speaker 4: A woman's body, then the man is a goal a
Speaker 4: body natural worsh Unless I'm very much mistaken. He's much worse,
Speaker 4: Colonel Ross. As for the body, I imagine it's been
Speaker 4: dead a long long time.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think Watson and I will take a stroller
Speaker 2: with a mapleton later this evening.
Speaker 4: I like to take a look at the contents of
Speaker 4: that box myself. What a knight to go talking about
Speaker 4: the Moor's homes. I'm soaked to the skin.
Speaker 2: Yes, the equinoxial reign seemed to be especially biggous this year.
Speaker 2: I want some big second hardly say good Lord, what
Speaker 2: was that that time?
Speaker 4: Agin?
Speaker 2: Just a member of a feline or cat family? I
Speaker 2: was half wildly homes. It's unusual for a cat to
Speaker 2: be out in this weather. Seems to be getting closer.
Speaker 4: Hangled the Latin of them.
Speaker 3: Yes, there it is in that treat left, good Lord.
Speaker 3: His eyes shine like fire. Maybe she's caught up that
Speaker 3: and can't get down here, pussy.
Speaker 5: What's the full of him looking into that cat?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 11: Because one scratch from her claws and you would decline
Speaker 11: and die of old age.
Speaker 4: You, Professor Riarty, you.
Speaker 11: Look surprised to see me. Doctor Watson. I heard you
Speaker 11: were expected at King's Pilon Homes, And when that stupid
Speaker 11: serving girl runs screaming out of my house this evening,
Speaker 11: I rather expected it wouldn't be long before you came
Speaker 11: over to Mapleton to pay your respects to the Princess
Speaker 11: hut Shepherd, Princess Hardchepnut. So that's who you have in
Speaker 11: your latest money case.
Speaker 4: Mariotte.
Speaker 11: Yes, in the most perfect state of preservation, but of absolutely.
Speaker 4: No use to me.
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, why not if she was still slender when she died,
Speaker 11: the artisans who in bound her didn't.
Speaker 9: Need to age the body to prepare it for burial.
Speaker 9: Age to body. Have you ever seen a fat mummy,
Speaker 9: doctor Watson.
Speaker 4: Come to finger it? Conseer I have.
Speaker 11: In ancient Egypt, it took upward of seventy days to
Speaker 11: prepare the body for mummy.
Speaker 4: Rare gums, resins and.
Speaker 11: Spices were used, and if the deceased was fat, a
Speaker 11: fluid was injected which aged and shrived the body after death.
Speaker 2: And it's your fary of Doc Mariotte, that that same
Speaker 2: fluid extracted from those mummies, would, if injected into human beings,
Speaker 2: produce premature old.
Speaker 4: Age and death.
Speaker 11: For so far, mister Holmes, I have only experimented with animals,
Speaker 11: but I believe the process has been sufficiently perfected so
Speaker 11: that I may now indulge in a few human experiments.
Speaker 11: How fortunate that you and doctor Watson should have decided
Speaker 11: to drop in this evening. Not so fast, doctor Watson,
Speaker 11: my servant act Bar has had you covered for some time.
Speaker 11: Is an expert shot. I promise you bluff, pure bluff
Speaker 11: of your soul. At Bar is rather dark. He doesn't
Speaker 11: show up very well at night. But to proof to
Speaker 11: you he is present, I shall have him destroy the
Speaker 11: cat up there what it.
Speaker 4: It's no trouble at all. We came out here for
Speaker 4: that purpose.
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, yesterday I spilled some of the liquid I'm experimenting
Speaker 11: with and the cat walked in it. It's no longer
Speaker 11: safe to have it at Lubich. You saw the results
Speaker 11: when she scratched Colonel Ross's horse last night.
Speaker 4: You see, I.
Speaker 11: Don't want to kill people. I should be satisfied just
Speaker 11: to make them senile. Don't excite yourself, doctor Watson at
Speaker 11: bar the cat.
Speaker 4: Such a geez. I was rather fond of the beasts.
Speaker 11: Now, gentlemen, if you will accompany me.
Speaker 1: When you're in your favorite clothing store these wedter days
Speaker 1: and hear someone say how do they do it? He's
Speaker 1: probably trying on a clipper Craft suit or overcoat. Because
Speaker 1: in this era of higher prices, it's really startling to
Speaker 1: see so much truly fine quality in clothes for such
Speaker 1: a modest amount. For Clippercraft suits are only forty and
Speaker 1: forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats are only forty dollars,
Speaker 1: and sport jackets are only twenty six fifty. The fabrics
Speaker 1: are really long wearing, style and fit is super because
Speaker 1: Clippercraft clothes are expertly designed. Now you may ask how
Speaker 1: all this is possible. Well, the answer is ill manufacturing,
Speaker 1: genius and a plan. Famas Clippercraft Plan concentrates the buying
Speaker 1: power of two hundred thirty six of the nation's finest
Speaker 1: stores from coast to coast. Thus you get the amazing
Speaker 1: advantages of the group buying at your own local independent store,
Speaker 1: at the store you can trust. Selling expensive clothes at
Speaker 1: inexpensive prices at the nation's finest independent stores is the great,
Speaker 1: big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's why men who
Speaker 1: know insist on Clippercraft clothes. So be sure to visit
Speaker 1: the clipper Craft store in your city.
Speaker 13: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
Speaker 13: add their names to Clippercraft and your Suit, top code
Speaker 13: and overcoat. In Manhattan, Sas thirty fourth Broadway at thirty
Speaker 13: fourth John WANNAMECA Men's Stores Broadway at.
Speaker 4: Eighth and sixty.
Speaker 13: Seven Liberty Street in Brooklyn, Abraham and Strauss in Newark.
Speaker 4: New Jersey Boulevard Men's Shop Cresby Newarck.
Speaker 13: And in Jamaica, the B and B Clothes Shop one
Speaker 13: sixty four oh eight Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 1: And now to return to doctor Watson and Sherlock Halls,
Speaker 1: we find them in Moriarty's laboratory.
Speaker 11: Sorry, I'm forced to have bar tie your hands to
Speaker 11: the back of your chairs. Gentlemen at bar, if you
Speaker 11: will remove doctor Watson's revolver from his right hand pocket,
Speaker 11: that's it.
Speaker 9: No, no, no, you needn't take his satchel off his knees.
Speaker 9: I know how lost a doctor feels without his little
Speaker 9: black bag.
Speaker 4: Very generous of you, Mariarty, not at all.
Speaker 9: That will be all Akbar. You may leave the room
Speaker 9: and lock the door. And now for the lady hat
Speaker 9: sheep nat. She's in the mummy chase here. I thought
Speaker 9: you might enjoy the sight of a charming female while
Speaker 9: I give you.
Speaker 11: The injection that will deprive you of your youth and vigor.
Speaker 4: Now look sure you are Dodgerson.
Speaker 2: If by any chance, Professor Moriarty the mummy case in
Speaker 2: which the and says ha chepknot was in Tombe, I believe.
Speaker 14: So she was removed from the tombs of the Royal
Speaker 14: mummies at Dar el Pari by those famous grave robbers,
Speaker 14: the brothers Abda Rasoul, whose exploits finally led the British
Speaker 14: archeologist to the left bank of the Nile.
Speaker 4: Opposite Konnek.
Speaker 11: What's how clever of you, mister Holmes, to be so
Speaker 11: well informed on Egyptian mummies.
Speaker 4: Holmes, no living or didn't you know?
Speaker 2: A Watson on the other hand, well, no, mental mastodon
Speaker 2: has hidden possibilities that did you know, professor?
Speaker 4: He once played Rugby or Blackheath fascinating I am.
Speaker 2: I gather from the fact that the mummy case has
Speaker 2: the hands carved in relief, that it dates from the
Speaker 2: seventh theban dynastic.
Speaker 11: You are absolutely correct, mister Holmes. Weight I will raise
Speaker 11: the lid and permit you to see the lady herself.
Speaker 11: Good Lord, she looked as if she had died yesterday. Yes,
Speaker 11: doctor Watson, the mummies of Memphis are black, dry and brittle,
Speaker 11: but those of Thieves are yellowish, flexible and so how
Speaker 11: elastic that the flesh yields to the touch and the
Speaker 11: limbs may be moved so without breaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah it Sis Remuel, I should have liked to be
Speaker 2: present when they discovered the tombor dadel behind.
Speaker 4: Imagine, Watson, there were thirty six mummies and twenty of
Speaker 4: them kings and queens.
Speaker 11: Suppose we dispense with any further lectures on antiquity, Mister Holmes,
Speaker 11: I think the substance I have here in this little
Speaker 11: glass file may prove even more fascinating.
Speaker 4: This is the liquid I've.
Speaker 11: Distilled from five previous mummies, the ones who have been
Speaker 11: shall we say, aged once all scratch with a pin
Speaker 11: dipped in this fluid shulede. If my calculations are correct,
Speaker 11: turn you both into old men. What would be the
Speaker 11: object of that?
Speaker 4: He asked?
Speaker 11: The first place, it would render you no longer able
Speaker 11: to interrupt my activities.
Speaker 4: And in the second place, if my experiment is successful,
Speaker 4: I flatter myself. I can change the course of history. Interesting.
Speaker 4: Think what would happen if I were to make.
Speaker 9: Certain mansenile the Kaiser, for instance, and that new American
Speaker 9: president Roosevelt, mister Theodore Roosevelt. And as a man over
Speaker 9: in France, Monsieur Cromon Saux, and the young man right
Speaker 9: here in England his name is Winston Churchill.
Speaker 11: I think history might be quite different if he suddenly
Speaker 11: became old and feeble minded. Let me see my tie
Speaker 11: pin should do very nicely.
Speaker 4: There's a very interesting hypothesis, Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 2: But that file is so small. I is that all
Speaker 2: the fluid you have, which would suffice mister Holmes. I
Speaker 2: should prick only the key man now, then I'll dip
Speaker 2: in the pin so.
Speaker 4: And Confindo, you've broken a fire and a bravo, Watson,
Speaker 4: a perfectly plaised dropkick.
Speaker 2: I wondered a bit of the court you to use
Speaker 2: your little back bag for a football.
Speaker 4: Well it was an arrow squeak, doctor Watson, it was indeed,
Speaker 4: mister Harrison. But even then you were still tired of
Speaker 4: those chairs. Just how did you and Sherlock Holmes get
Speaker 4: away from the professor? Oh?
Speaker 3: At that point, mister Harris, Colonel ross And and ned
Speaker 3: Hunter broke in and rescued us. We left the Mother
Speaker 3: Moore with instructions to come in and get us if
Speaker 3: we didn't return in half an hour. Why did you
Speaker 3: think Hose became so chatty about Egyptian history?
Speaker 4: You don't mean he was stalling. What do you think,
Speaker 4: mister Harris? What do you think? Well?
Speaker 1: What could I think? Doctor hellw Doctor Watson? How about
Speaker 1: giving us a hit about next week's story?
Speaker 3: Yes, next week, I think I should tell in the
Speaker 3: Case of the Lucky Shilly. In it, Holmes prevented the
Speaker 3: death of a certain reckless nobleman and acquired the money
Speaker 3: to pay for a much needed operation. It was done
Speaker 3: with the not too honest racetrack device, which Hose called
Speaker 3: the Trick of the Lucky Shitty.
Speaker 1: The makers of Clippercraft Clothes and ten hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six leading stores from coast to coast have brought you
