This message is brought to you as a public service You we had to reach Dawson's city at all costs before the fall said him His freedom perhaps even his life depended upon it He had left Whitehorse some time before Following the cold and torturous route along the frozen Yukon River At Selkirk he had traded his weary dogs for fresh ones and it pushed on in the face of a blizzard But at times made him feel that his efforts would be hopeless But his fierce determination drove him on toward his goal Until a lone utterly weary from cold and hunger and constant travel he reached an outlined cabin on Beaver Creek Hey, you look trouble tuck it out. They go up your park and rest the spell. Let me help you son. Thanks again, mister Sure appreciate getting in out of that corner. My name is Finley Jake Finley. Oh, yeah, I don't know Mine's Tom Barry Tom Barry.

Well, oh, glad to see you sergeant. I see you still got King along with you I rarely travel without King. I'm doing all right. Come on in out of the cool. Thanks You come far sergeant from Whitehorse. Well, there was a young fellow here while it go come through from Whitehorse His name Tom Barry. Yes, that's right. Mighty nice young fellow tool. They do much talking while he was here, Jake Yes, he was right good company. I hated to see him go Barry sure has a lot of gumption. He come through from Whitehorse without stopping in spite of the storm Seemed to be in a hurry to get to Dawson City. Yes, I know. Well sit down sergeant. I'll fix up a bit of food for you No, thanks Jake. I can now go on into Dawson. We haven't any time to lose You seem to be in as much of a hurry as Tom Barry. I am you see Barry's the man. I'm at it But you mean the law wants him for something. That's right. Barry's wanted for murder. Come along King By the time Tom Barry had reached Dawson City the storm had stopped and the clouds began to break First Tom dispose of his dog team then he went to the cafe Haven't seen you around lately you've been away. Yeah He's Laura around she's back in the dressing room getting ready for her singing act. Thanks You back soon. I've been awfully worried wondering what happened in Whitehorse. What he happened as you probably know Where's your brother Lou? Tony you act so strange After all, honey, I haven't seen you for over two weeks. I asked you where Lou is. How should I know? This is our fine way for you to ask when we're supposed to be in love. Oh look, I Know I want you to tell me the truth Have you seen Lou here in Dawson lately past day or so you mean here in Dawson, you know John well He is where is he Tommy? You're hurting my arm, right? Sorry Laura, but well, I have to find Lou right away the police are after me police after you. Oh Tommy What's happened was over two weeks ago when you told me Lou had seen the man who killed your father And it followed him to Whitehorse. I know you begged me to follow Lou and keep him from killing that man Lou swore he was going after Jack Watson and get him for shooting dad But what happened? Well, I followed Lou At Whitehorse I found out Watson had a room at the hotel. I went to his room The door was partly open Watson was dead Someone passed along the hall as I was coming out. He saw the body lying inside and called a clerk They accused me of the murder. I Got away and headed for Dawson figuring Lou had come back here after he killed Watson I'm going to find him and make him clear me. Oh So now you accuse Lou is that it? Maybe you did kill Jack Watson Laura you don't really believe that I Thought you'd help me see and we plan to get married I don't love you enough to let you put the blame for a murder on my own brother, but he did it You know he went there for that purpose You were the one who asked me to stop him and not to say anything to the Monies The best thing for you to do is clear out and forget about Lou Trying to put the blame on him won't help you with the Mountie That's the way it is. Yes, that's the way it is. I Won't say anything about you being here. The bar keep already knows I came here to see you Sergeant Preston that dog of his when Whitehorse you'll be sure to trail me here I can handle piece the bar keep you get away right now and hide out The fall comes shortly and then you can escape to the outside. I'm not gonna run away and be hunted for something your brother Lou did They find out that he followed Jack Watson for the sole purpose of it Don't be a fool if you tell that story. They won't believe you But Laura you know that's the truth Lou and I will deny the whole story But if Watson killed your father like you said they might even let Lou off be told in the truth You have a lot to learn Tommy You'd better get out of here and hide someplace if you think that Mountie Preston is trailing you Tommy I have to go now and sing to those customers before they start tearing the place apart Better get away right now for Laura.

He sure fell for our plan Laura Imagine him going all the way to wait for us just to keep the brother of the girly love from being a killer Yes, but he didn't know you planned for him to get the blame like you did You know that story I gave him about Watson having murdered our father was a good one too Watson never saw Pop in his life When I saw him with all that gold, I knew we'd have to figure some way to get it and put the blame on somebody They didn't think he'd send Barry into the trap you two seem to be so sick with each other I was stringing him along because I knew he'd come in handy somehow If the Mounties catch up with him he tells them that story they'll think he's lying Everybody around here thinks you've been laid up sick for the past two weeks I made sure I wasn't seen in Whitehorse, so nobody will even listen to the story We can do a lot with that gold you got from Watson. Yeah Let's all be here within a week and when the first boat leaves for Seattle, we'll be on it Yeah, and once we're away from here with Who's there? We'd better watch our steps This Laura Cole. Yes, that's right. I want to ask a few questions miss Cole come inside Thank you. Come along King This is my brother Lou. He works at the cafe too. I see. I'm glad to see you, Sergeant. Thanks, Cole Quiet King. Well, that dog doesn't seem to like me very much. So I noticed Miss Cole, I understand a man named Barry Tom Barry came here to see you this evening Oh, yes Tom just returned from a business trip to Whitehorse. So he told me he had to leave right away on another trip Oh, where was it going, you know? No, I don't sergeant. We Well, we had kind of a spat about it too Tommy seemed to be touchy and upset about something, but he wouldn't tell me what it was. I Sergeant, why are you looking for Tommy? Has he done something? Tom Barry is wanted for murder in Whitehorse. Murder? Oh, that's terrible But we we hope to get married someday Tommy and I I see Sorry, I have to tell you such news. That's the way it is Sure, you can't give me any idea at all what he might have done. No sergeant. I I really can't please believe me Well, I wouldn't shield a murderer even though I understand this Tell me sergeant. Are you sure it was Barry who killed the man in Whitehorse? Reasonably sure. The victim's name was Jack Watson Jack Watson, you see So that's who it was. You knew Watson? Well, he was here at the cafe a couple of weeks ago spent a lot of gold Last time he was in he said he was heading for Whitehorse Had a chance to make the trip with a couple other prospectors who were gone. I see Well, I guess Barry trailed them all the way and then waited to get Watson when he left the other two and put up at the hotel That's about the way it was. All right Well, I have all the information you can give me. I'll pick up Barry's trail sooner or later. Good night. Good night. Come on, King Sergeant Preston with King at his side went down the main street toward the northwest modern police headquarters As he was about to go in a man stepped from the shadows sergeant Preston. Yes. I'm sergeant Preston. I I've been waiting here for you I'm I'm Tom Barry. Tom Barry I trailed you from Whitehorse. I thought you would I want to talk to you about what happened if you listen. You want to give yourself up? Oh, it isn't that I didn't kill anyone Watson was dead when I went to his room. Why did you run away? I came here to find someone Someone I thought would clear me. Why did you go to Watson's room at the hotel to warn him and to prevent him from being murdered? I see Who did you think was going to try to kill Watson? Why? I'd rather not tell you that sergeant I want to find him and get him to tell you the whole story. I know he'll clear me But you won't have a chance to find him now Barry. I'll have no please give me a chance I won't try to get away. I swear I won't tell me Who else besides Laura Cole knew you went on that business trip to Whitehorse? No one Well, that is Only the person I want to find. In other words, if you find that person you expect you'll confess and clear you. Well, yes You see, that doesn't make sense Watson was murdered because he carried a small fortune in gold And you say the man who killed him will give up that gold and confess just to clear you He'd have to be a mighty close friend of yours to do a thing like that But Watson wasn't killed for his gold at all sergeant. That's just it You see Watson was a murderer himself That killing was for revenge. I've known Watson for many years. He never killed anyone who told you he did I can't tell you that now. I'll never mind. Keep your secrets calm. I have my own idea about it anyway I want you to stay in my cabin with king while I try to get proof that you didn't kill jack Watson And I'll know where to find you if I need you in a hurry leaving the dog with tom Sergeant went back to the cafe for another talk with laura. Cole Luckily he found her alone at one of the tables Miss co. I brought you some news. Oh sergeant Won't you sit down? Thanks You spoke of bringing news. Yes, I thought you'd be interested to know that I found Tom berry You mean Tom didn't leave Dawson? No In fact, I didn't have to search for him. He came to me The story is rather a strange one. He's a fool if he thinks anyone would believe that story. He's crazy. What story? Why? I wonder when he told you That is trying to put the blame on on someone else when I talked to you before miss co. You pretended not to know what happened Why did you try to let me think you didn't know about what's his murder sergeant? I I was stalling for time That's all to help Tom But since he went to you and told that story told me practically nothing except that he's not guilty He's foolishly covering up for someone I thought perhaps you might know who it is. How should I know? Sergeant my advice is to disregard whatever he tells you and go by the facts you have against him I'll think over what you advise miss co Unless Tom waiting at my cabin. He has something with him that will definitely prove who the killer is You mean Tom Berry found something in Watson's hotel room that was led by By the one he says got there first and killed Watson. I've said too much already. So believe what you like I'm doing headquarters for meeting with the inspector. I'll see you again sometime is cool. Good night. Good night After sergeant Preston left the cafe Laura sent a message to her brother by the bar keep Then she went up to a room Short time later Lou came in What's up Laura Lou that mountain he was here again to talk to me. What about it? He found Tom Berry. That was quick work in the part of the money Barry and jail that's just it. He isn't in jail That sergeant Preston isn't convinced Tom killed Watson. Tom must have told the money the story we cooked up No, that poor Barry is still keeping his mouth shut for my case He thinks you're going clearly That's your hot one. I know But the main reason I sent for you Lou is because of something that Mountie said without meaning to Yeah, what? He said Tom was waiting at his cabin and that he had something that would definitely prove who the real killer is Now sergeant Preston has a meeting on at headquarters. He just left to go there meantime, Tom Berry is waiting at Preston's cabin out on the edge of town This is your chance to go out and see him Lou. Yeah, yeah, so it is Tell him you're going to help him and that we want to talk to him You mean you want me to bring him back here? Don't be a fool Once you get him to leave that cabin of Preston's I don't care what you do If something should happen so that Barry doesn't show up and can't be found That Mountie will think he was guilty after all and skipped out because he was scared Leave it to me Laura. We'll have nothing to worry about after tonight We'll continue our adventure in just a moment Say why aren't you fellas and girls out of the ballpark these days watching those home runs walloped into the grand stands Eating peanuts popcorn and hot dogs Come out to the ball game as guests of a major or minor league team All over the country kids 12 years or younger are seeing major or minor league games free All you do is bring mom or dad or another paying adult and you get your free baseball ticket immediately Inside packages of quaker pop wheat quaker pop rice and mufflet shredded wheat You'll find two free baseball tickets inside quaker packle 10 names of teams and dates are on every ticket So be guest of your favorite team at the ballpark Crush to the storm with your mom and grab free baseball ticket packages of quaker pop wheat or rice mufflet shredded wheat or Quaker packle 10 which has two free tickets the more packages of these delicious quaker cereals you get The more free baseball tickets you get How would you continue in sergeant Preston's cabin tom berry sat waiting for the sergeant to return King lay in his favorite place near the fire Suddenly tom was startled by a knock at the door Hello, um, I found out you were here and came right over blue. I'm glad to see you. Come here. Come here Quiet king, this is a friend How did you know I was waiting here by that mounty Preston's olora? Oh, I knew you wouldn't let me take the plane to what happened to Watson Sergeant Preston said he's known him for a long time and that he never killed anyone But naturally Watson would keep quiet about what he did to your father. Well, yeah, that's right Now look get your things down and come on over the cafe to talk to lora and me We'll get things straightened out tonight. Oh, but I promised to wait here for the money. Well, he's over the cafe now We was telling the whole story. Well, all right I'm sorry. You didn't tell him about jack Watson before Lou You shouldn't have taken the law into your own hands like that. Well, he deserved what he got Well, let's get going. All right. I'll get my parking I was afraid lora had changed toward me. She acted so strange when I talked to her lora was worried about both of us He didn't know just what to do. Yeah, the poor girl I guess she was under a strain of death. She sure was Now you have to stay here king and wait for sergeant Preston. Lie down fella Hurry up, son. All right. I'm ready Stay here king boy We'll take the short cut along the ravine town as soon as we get there the better. All right. Let's go The two men walked along the narrow trail that boarded a deep ravine on the edge of town. Gosh, I feel better already You know, Lou, I'm glad you came for me like you did I was sure you would That's why I didn't tell about you following Watson the white horse then Preston has no idea about it. Oh, no I did tell him I didn't kill Watson, but I wouldn't tell him anything else for lora's sake Tom, what was it you found in that hotel room? Something I dropped. So what do you mean stop stalling Preston told law you had something of a cabin with you that would prove who killed Watson But it's not so I don't know what he could have meant by that Come on. Let's get moving. Oh, wait Hey, what's that for Lou? Why do you pull a gun and you trust in the fool? Laura doesn't care a wrap about you You came in handy that's all I can't believe that until we talked you're not gonna talk to her now or any other time I thought we were you thought I was cool enough to clear you at my own expense, huh? Preston was right Jack Watson never killed anybody and you did follow and kill him for it Now you're waking up. You won't have a chance of getting away with it Sergeant press no question and everyone else will think you've got cold feet and cleared out when they can't find you What do you mean? I mean, I'm putting a bullet in you and toss me in the ravine When the thaw comes the water down there carry your body away for good So you can't do that I haven't told about you and you won't get the chance This is it belly Sergeant Preston shouted luco turned king leap forward like a speak of lightning He grabbed luke's gun on before he could pull the trigger Take him off. Take him off. Oh king. Don't worry Sergeant Preston you and king got here just in time luke was gonna kill me I know tom. I was waiting near the cabin when he went there Laura said you were going to a meeting. That's what she thought I told her tom had something at the cabin that would prove you killed jack watson. I was talking about king You can't prove that I don't know anything about jack watson's murder. Oh, and I'll get to choose before long Right now i'm taking you in for the attempted murder of tom berry After we leave you at headquarters tom and I have a visit to make at the cafe All right, let's get going Later that evening laura co was waiting in her room for luke to return Finally she heard steps on the hallway outside and looked up expectantly as the door opened Hello laura you Didn't luke go to the cabin and he went there miss co come in king I'm mounting and the dog you seem surprised to see us. Why did you come here with tom berry? Where's my brother miss co your brother luke is at headquarters right now at headquarters Then you've arrested him.
