It does There you'll find a picture of Andre on the dressing table Take it. All right Bring him to me. Mr. Paladin Bring him to me Contest You'll have your grandson Placer, Oregon was a small mining town nestled in the mountains near the crystal clear water of Grave Creek After searching the town for Andre de Mulan and Faisal I learned that two men answering their descriptions had left a few days ago And headed south toward Grant's Pass I followed and on the second day picked up their trail They were moving slow, and I figured I'd catch them the next day so I made camp for that night Don't move And don't turn around Drop your gun belt. You're done. Just fine Andy come in here. Are you sure surprised them? You surprised them real good How about it? Mr. Did I surprise you? Yeah? You sure did want to know why? Because I've seen you following us. Why were you following us? What makes you think I was no you were right enough What'd you do see Andy and me winning all that money back in plaster and figure on taking it from us? You seem to have all the answers Well, I'll tell you something mister. I don't like nobody following me. I don't like it at all You're gonna die for it. You always shoot men in the back. No Nobody can say that about Faisal and not ever So you just turn around and get it in the belly All right, don't move Andy. There's still one bullet left in this derringer You killed Fezlin. He was only fooling you. He wasn't gonna shoot boy. You don't know men like him Fezlin was my friend friend. Who are you anyway? What were you following us? Shut up? I'll tell you I'm gonna take you back to your grandmother. Why? Why would you want to do that? She wants you home before she dies She never won't ever die. She hired you to get me didn't she yes, and you're going back either peacefully or tight on your horse Now it's up to you. No No, I'm not going back. You have no choice Maybe not now But the time will come you'll have to watch me every second mister because I don't intend to ever see her again The laughs on you if you're not tuned into comedy time every week day evening on CBS radio The laughs on you because you're missing the funniest part of the day That's when you hear the Amos and Andy music hall people by Amos Andy the Kingfish and all those other wonderful Characters invented by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll These two witty gentlemen have been entertaining radio listeners for over 30 years and they're funnier and more popular than ever CBS radio's comedy time is also time for Andy Griffith Drolls star of the Broadway musical Destry rides again and just as Droll as a commentator on some of the crazy things you and I do every day Also in on the fun are George Burns and Gracie Allen the zanyest couple who ever went to the altar and of course those wonderful Satterists Bob and Ray with their riotous interviews contests and clubs But then probably the laughs on me. Maybe you haven't been missing CBS radio's comedy time at all Chances are you're already among the millions who've rallied to comedy time Monday through Friday evenings on CBS radio We buried Andre's friend Fezlin and for the next two days rowed in uneventful silence Andre was watching On the second night out. We made camp late before bedding down. I tied him hand and foot The mountain air was cold. So I left the campfire burning After I went to sleep Andre must have somehow wiggled over to the fire Burned off the ropes. I awoke just in time You're a fool boy you're a fool for trying that I Thought you were asleep. I know you tell me You tell me why are you so afraid of going back to the ranch? You? You don't know my grandmother She's a devil a witch My father he was just like her But he's dead now, and I'm glad that's a bad thing to say about your own father Just let me tell you something paladin My father was a tyrant. He used to tie people to a post and have him whipped when they disobeyed I'd watch from the house and then I'd hide because I was afraid he'd do it to me Well, that's pretty hard to believe there are laws here and people to enforce them Only laws on that ranch are made by the demulans and I'm ashamed of the name I wish I'd never been born with your choice of friends doesn't speak very well of your judgment Fezzelin was all right. He liked me. He taught me all kinds of things He sure was good with a gun. Look where it got him. Well, that's because you tricked him How is he supposed to know you had a derringer hit on you? Doesn't it mean anything to you that he was gonna shoot me in the back without a chance to defend myself He wouldn't have done that. He was just scaring you. He wasn't scaring anybody boy He was going to kill and I wish he had I wish he'd shot you dead You just bought yourself another rope. Yeah, these are real high cliffs, aren't they? Uh-huh on drop to the bottom of the canyon You better turn around and watch where you're going Andre, can you hear me? That's kind of like an answer to a prayer paladin Only you didn't fall all the way down just to the ledge Yeah You'll have to help me up Now why would I ever do that? Look Andre Get the rope off my saddle lower it to me and Wrap the other end around the saddle horn Paladin pull you up. Will you still take me to the ranch? Yes, I will And I got to leave you I'll die here boy. I've got no choice. I told you I'm not going back to that ranch You'll be murdering a man just as sure as if you put a gun in his back and shot him I'm sorry about that Goodbye, mr. Paladin Constipation 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 had this to say a Laxative should be effective gentle as Close to natural acting as possible and a medicine that can be used with complete confidence Now x-lax has been popular with many doctors and millions of people over the years because chocolate at x-lax is Effective overnight it helps you toward your normal regularity X-lax is gentle next morning. It gives you the closest thing to natural action And that's why many doctors and millions of people use x-lax with complete confidence x-lax the laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity gently overnight is x-lax in your medicine cabinet The ledge I had fallen on to was about 15 feet below the narrow twisting trail and was impossible to climb Below me was a sheer drop of a hundred feet or more. I Crouched on the ledge for what seemed like hours before I finally heard the sound of a horse coming up the trail When it was near I shouted the sound stopped a Rope was lowered and I gratefully clambered to the top Andre I Couldn't do it paladin. I don't know why I I Thought about it for a long time, but I just couldn't let anybody die like that You've done a good thing boy I think that's the first good thing. I've ever done Andre Why don't you want to go back to your grandmother? I told you why now? That's hardly reason enough since she's going to die. I promise to bring it back to her. I know I'll go with you. I'll tell you this After you see her if you still want to leave I'll help you thanks But I don't think you'll want to not then I'm scared paladin. I don't want to go in Andre she's an old woman. She wants to see you before she died, but I don't want to see her I tell you you don't know her. She's mean real mean Her fierceness frightened you as a boy, but you're a grown man now Andre. That isn't it. There's something I What Nothing all right quiet now Come in hello contest you've done it. Yes He's here. I'm so happy you found him mr. Paladin So happy come here Andre Let me look at you Go on boy. No, no Why Mr. Paladin You can see I'm an excellent shot why Why would you do a thing like this? You ask me why? You fool Because he killed my son He murdered his own father. He desecrated the name of Damolan murdered his own father. Yes. Yes Yes, but why because he was a weakling a filthy little weakling His father gave him a whipping just of whipping and he killed him But the world will never know The name of Damolan will not be blackened The name is already black contests.
