I Knew this country. Well, it's low green valleys and crisp ocean air. I did not know he in crown I inquired at the stage office Yes, sir, what can I do for you? How far is it to the crown ranch in crowns place? Yes Little past a mile southeast of here head right on out the main road and take the fork to the left just before you get to the mission Any place I can rent a horse around here. Well, every stable just cross-street. Mr. Can't miss it. It's only building on that side. Thanks. Yes Would you give something for the mission? Something for the mission, please you give money a donation see please a donation Well, I think we can manage that. I Should have a dollar in my wallet Senior you are very rich so much money. I see now Yeah, here we are Hey, hey, you come back here You little thief What happened mister when a boy stole my wallet Peter you know him Yeah, that was Pedro from the mission. He asked me for a donation when I offered him a dollar He grabbed my wallet and ran off. That doesn't seem like Peter He's a good boy. He's got a good wallet Did you say he's from the mission? That's right. He lives there. I Haven't planned on it, but I think I'll pay this mission a visit I figured that if crown had waited for me to travel all the way from San Francisco a few more hours delay wouldn't hurt And I wanted my wallet back. It wasn't bulging with money, but there were papers. I couldn't replace At the mission of San Sebastian a Franciscan monk met me Introducing himself as father Bartolo me As we walked through the cool flower-filled courtyard of the lovely old mission I told the priest about Pedro and what had happened. He invited me to his study Won't you be seated on your Paladin? Thank you I'm so very sorry about all this How much money did you have in your wallet? $22 in cash. There was also a bank note for $50 I have exactly $22 on my desk. They are undoubtedly yours Pedro brought it to me less than 30 minutes ago. He was somewhat out of breath and quite nervous Your story explains these actions You are send your paladin. Thank you for that I don't suppose he said anything about the wallet. No, sir. Do you think he still hasn't? Perhaps he can answer that question himself. Will you excuse me, sir your paladin? Pedro Would you come in here, please? Pedro, you know why this man is here See Patrick. Is it not true that you took his wallet and ran away? See that was very wrong Pedro See Patrick Why would you do this? I'm sorry Padre, but There was so much money. I had to take it for San Sebastián It was wrong Padre. I know it was wrong Where is the wallet now my son? In the stable. Please get it and bring it back to this room See Padre Father, I'm sorry this has happened. I hope you won't find it necessary to be too severe with a boy More than you. He had learned his lesson already Why does Pedro beg for donations for this mission? It's by far the best preserved and the most beautiful of all the missions I've seen. Oh, yes, he's a new one San Sebastián is a diamond of all missions. Thanks to your crown Ian crown. See No, we haven't met but I was on my way to his ranch when this happened, but what is his connection with this mission? Well, son, you're several years ago before California became a part of the United States The Mexican government sold the missions to raise defense funds for their treasury It was then that senior crown became the owner of San Sebastián You mean crown bought the mission from the Mexican government. See senior Well, most of the others wasted to ruins This mission prospered under the skilled management of senior crown But then when President Lincoln signed the bill giving the missions back to the church I said your crown was forced to relinquish this mission on the land around the country He was paid for the land wasn't it? Oh, see senior But he was not in sympathy with the price To compensate for the additional payment he felt was due to him He took the statue of our patron saint San Sebastián from its rightful place in this mission he is now in his home and He refuses to return it to us. Do you think he'll ever give the statue back to the mission? No, senior. Not unless we pay him for it. How much does he want? Two thousand dollars. Not impossible son. It would take many years to accumulate that much money And that's why Pedro begs for donations Our people are most anxious to have the statue return. Shouldn't be How much money have you collected father? So your paladin. This is not a rich parish in ten years. We have secured only nine hundred eighty five dollars Come in Brought the wallet father. Oh, you know Give it to senor paladin Senor Thank you Pedro. I'm sorry, senor Please forgive me senor paladin. Please check your wallet for the bank not you mentioned. It's here father everything here Pedro See senor At the stage office, I was going to give you a donation You remember see Would you accept this five dollar gold piece for the statue of son Sebastian? When friends drop in let your hospitality show your sociable in the modern manner Pepsi, you know is the favorite of the smart and young at heart. Have you tried a Pepsi lately? The green rolling acres that surrounded the crown ranch were covered with giant oaks and thousands of black Angus cattle And a mile beyond the main gate on a tree studded knoll sat the house of Ian crown imposing rich almost feudal From my talk with father Bartolo may I had pictured crown as the typical elderly austere rancher Instead I found a cordial man who was having more than a share of trouble with an outlaw Sun show Fernandez No during the last three months. He's robbed two of my payroll shipments He's run off near 300 head of prime beef He's got to be stopped paladin. I'm dependent on you to bring him in I've never heard this Fernandez before does he can find his activities to this part of the country? Strictly to my reign to your reign there hasn't even plaguing the other ranchers. No, just me Why is he singled you up? Well, his brother used to work for me killed an accident during a cattle drive Fernandez thinks I'm responsible Well, I'm not a man was thrown from his saddle. It was an accident. I see Hey, let me fill your glass. Oh, yes. Thank you very much That's excellent wine. Thank you We make it ourselves grapes come from my own venue You must be proud of this ranch.

Oh, I see Well, he told you what he and I am because I won't give back your statue We didn't discuss your personal I get that statue back when I get the money Man Mr. Crown. Oh, what is it Carl? Fernandez, he stopped the stage and took the payroll Anybody hurt no he made us get out of the stage took the money from me and then stampeded the horses That's the third time. Oh Paladin this is my foreman Carl stalker. How do you do how are you? Carl here is bringing the payroll money from the bank in cold water where did it happen about three miles before we got Into San Sebastian. We had a walk into town and he's had plenty of time to hide out Mr. Crown you'll be needing more money from the bank to meet the payroll. That's right I'll go up to cold water tomorrow and bring it back Now you let everybody know I'll be returning alone on horseback I had concealed the payroll money under my shirt and was on the trail back from cold water a Mile out of San Sebastian. There was still no sign of San Joe Fernandez But he didn't disappoint me My rival is pointed directly between your shoulders. It would be a mistake to turn around. I believe you Know drop your gun back to the ground This mountain stand with your back to me You have some money for senior crown Where is it? You're well informed Money, where is it? In my shirt with a gun now that Do not move Turn around nothing you'll drop the money to the ground Careful how you may turn around and take a few steps away that will be far enough Now you will not be needing your horse Just an steady senior Not too long a walk to the ranch.
