  Speaker 1: But it's not there's a light, major.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Nonsense, father is it's the meaning of this? If a

  Speaker 6: lame slipped away? Can't they see it? Why is everything

  Speaker 1: I have done everything in my power, Major, I.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Can do no more, can can anyone?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Sir? I believe you wish the truth naturally, then I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: must tell you no one can help you. I was
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: almost certain your sight was gone when I first saw
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: your wound. I said nothing then, because well, because sometimes
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: miracles do happen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Sure, I'll call Captain Post then come back here. Yes,
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: he will say nothing to anyone about this until you
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: have my permission, he said, understood, won't Captain fast if
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: you mean won't Captain First assume command of this post.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Now that this has happened, I can tell you he'll
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: do nothing of the candy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: This rather irregular. Major. I mean, of course, you will
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be technically in command under Washington, can be informed and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you are officially relieved, but still.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Kept Him First will have actual command here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, Perish, you and the old friends. We've seen
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a good many campaigns together, some mighty bad ones. Major,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: We've got to know each other, of course.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Would you say there's ever been a time when I've
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: made a decision I didn't believe was for the good
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: of the army. Have you ever known me the good
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: personal advancement to applied before my duty? I have not, Sir,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: Ellen will do as I tell her because she's my daughter.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: But you, Perish, I can expect you to follow my wishes,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: and this only if I can divince you it's for
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: the good of the cause we will serve you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You want me to keep your blindness a secret? I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: one moment, let me explain myself. Kept him First is
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an excellent officer, I know, I know as sure as
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know. I'll not regain my sight. But Captain Faust
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: is not the opposite that plays in charge of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: post of this time Running Wolf exactly. Captain Faust is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not familiar with Indian fighting. What's worse, he hasn't campaigned
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: in the West long enough to be aware that he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: has wish to learn. Frankly, I haven't the leased that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: But what he'd like nothing better than to have the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: authority to take the middle on Running Wolf's trail and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: force a battle. That's just what Running Wolf forms you.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: And I realize at Perry's. But Captain Faust doesn't. Captain
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: Faust's very vigorous officer. He believes in decisive engagements. He'd
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: like to crush Running Wolf. Unfortunately, Running Wolf doesn't intend
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: to make a battle of it. He'd lead our men
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: on a fool's trail, slip away when he weighs circle
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: and sweep this district clean of every white center in it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But surely, if you explain.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Captain Faust and I've discussed as before, he pretends to agree,
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: but doesn't in command them, afraid he'd be tempted.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: What happens major doesn't he realize that the only settlers
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in the district are but then a radius of five
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: miles of the fort, the only way they can be
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: protected is to keep our troops here where they belong.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: It inst is, young man, Perish. There's more glory and
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: fighting than in watching and waiting. You'll do as I ask.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I I'd like to Major. You know that, but I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: don't see how it shouldn't be difficult.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: I have a fever. I'm come, blessing, I'm I'm anything
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: that will explain my present disability, but make it look
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: as though I'll soon be an active command again.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And when it's noticed that you don't get better, well, have.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: A week or two of grace. We play our cards greatly.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Perhaps in the meantime something will occur to change Captain
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Ferrows mind.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Major, whatever you ask, I will do.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: Thank you, perish. There was certain of it now than
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: even you've heard what's been said here. I think you
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: understand what's expected of you on father.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I don't care what happens.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: I know you're in the right, and I'll do it
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: exactly as you wish.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Almost a week later, and four days journey to the west,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a tall, masked man sat motionless astride a powerful white
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: stallion that had been rained to a stop in the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: shot of a jutting rock. While he waited. He listened
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to the sinister throbbing of distant drums. Those drums are
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: talking trouble, old fellow, plenty of trouble. Quiet boy, tell
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: us you'll be returning soon. Let's hope he learn what's happening.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: An hour passed and the shadows lengthened, while still the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: lone ranger made no move, but at the end of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the hour, swiftly approaching. Who's thundered over the trail and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it should be himself?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Back, Fellow, back it is, teller, Keep us summing, Hi, Rain,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: tell her what did you learn there?
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Pe camp?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Many engine come there, reitman come from all over?
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: What are they planning?
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Tonto not know that them? Keep close? Watch Tonto, not
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: get close.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Did you see Running Wolf?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Him there? And this is his main camp?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: And the band of braves that have been showing themselves
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: near Fort Casper must be a decoy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: While the soldiers are certain Running Wolf is with them,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: he's here instead. These Indians wouldn't be gathering such numbers
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: unless there was something deflit. And Running Wolf's mile Hunter
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: think that too. And whatever Running Wolf's scheming, he'll do.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Neither of the settlers, nor the soldier's any good?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Come and where we go.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: We're riding for Fort Casper, and we're getting there just
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: as fast as we can. Hime Onso, ride them up
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: stow all Solway. At Fort Casper, Major Davis had kept
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: to his quarters. His interviews with the officers were carried
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: on in a darkened room, and then only when absolutely necessary.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Even Captain Faust, second in command, on it hard to
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: gain admittances.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: Davis optain, I must see Major Davis at once. Very ill, Doctor,
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: this is imperative, or I wouldn't have ventured to come here.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: A courier just arrived with a message from flat Rock.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Major Davis must see the message and send an nancy.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Very well, just give me the message, Captain.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I must give it to him myself. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: you say I must give it to him myself.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: But Captain Foss, my father's a very sick man. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: am sorry. I'm afraid I'll have to insist.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Please you, sir, never mind, it'll be all right. Come along, captain.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Doctor.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You will make this stuff as brief as you can.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, of course, Major, what do you want to

  Speaker 7: send a platoon also, sir, two details could meet somewhere
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: in Royal Canyon.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Compare notes.

  Speaker 7: Colonel Osgood requests that you reply by telling him one
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: a platoon will leave Fort Casper and when it can
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: be expected to reach Royal Canyon.

• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Hey, of course, captain. Of course.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, sir, but I must contradict you.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: What's this?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care, Captain Doctor Parrish.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Major Davis. That sheet of paper I just brought in
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: is completely blank. Major Davis. I've suspected for some time
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: what you've just proven to me. You are blind, sir.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: You're forgetting yourself, im you superior officer.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Captain, you're blind?
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Do you hear me? Blind? Captain? First start in my eyes.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: A week you said this paper contained a certain message,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: and to see my eyes, I agreeed you, though there's
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: nothing more to it. Please give me an explanation with
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: this conduct or the corporal of the guys who we
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: told you under arrest. Major.
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: I don't pretend to understand your purpose, but you're cheating
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: me of my right to command this post. I have
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: absolutely no explanation to make except the one I just
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: gave you. You've lost your sight, sir, and.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: I tell you to prove that you're have it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Tell you what's that is?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: That's trouble harnted while.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: The rest in sirt fired in the guard.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's more willing right there? He to Davis, how
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: return when we fought that dollar?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, Major, you can have him arrested, but it's worth
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and it'll come out that you are blind, and Washington
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: will want to know why the fact wasn't important at once?
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Heavy said, fellow isn't going to have my command.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Under the circumstances, how can it be prevented?
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: He's got to be weird.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I wish I could think of one. This is going
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to be my hird, Major as well as you.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Hey, dude, what is it? Masked?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But not a doctor Perris?
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: What's going on here? Who is this fellow? He's masked?
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: You say?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm Major Davis. Had you get past the guards
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to a friend of mine? Helped me. He fired in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the air, let himself be seen, and rode away. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the confusion.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I came here, just tried and get away without being caught. Perhaps, Sir,
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: after you've heard what I have to say, you won't
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: want me caught. The curtain falls on the first act
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: please promot us to pause for just a few moments.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Ah got to continue our story. While Tonto drew the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: attention of the troopers at Purtcasper, the Lone Ranger made
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: his way to the quarters of Major Davis. There he
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: silenced the protests of the Major and the post surgeon,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: doctor Perrish. Both of you can talk later at this time.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Now you're going to listen to me. Why did you
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: come here?
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: The woe?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Major Davis? If the Indians are assembling in the hills,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: running wolf is making ready for an attack. He a
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: four days ride from here. You're mista hidden. We have
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: proved of these no further than the hilst of the North,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: which is exactly what he wishes you to believe. He's
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: placed a small band they to mislead you.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Major, You said yourself you suspected something of the sort.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Who are you? Why should we believe you?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I tell no one my name. You've been white, but
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you may have heard of me.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Nevertheless, I ride a white horse, A white horse I've
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: named silver it a loon ranger. Now will you accept
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: my word if you are the lone ranger? Yes, Major Davis,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: you're badly in need of help.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: How did you know that?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I've heard of the wound you received?
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Major?
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Before I came here, I heard certain talk in the vicinity,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: and since I entered this room, I've discovered for certain
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: that that talk is correct. You've lost your sights. No
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: need to pretend with me. There's been talk, but no certainty.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: You wish me to keep silent?
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: I shall you?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: You said you could help first tell me why Major
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Davis doesn't want his blindness known.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: No, I may as well tell him perish he might
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: be able to help.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It's up to you to decide.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Of course, Major, Well, it's simple enough saying my second
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: in command is Captain Faust, a good officer, but an
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: officer unused to the west of the ways Vidians. I
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: have tried to avoid turning my authority over to him.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: I know what he wishes to do. I'm afraid authority
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: in his hands would lead to disaster him. I see
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: he wishes to take the troops and hunt running Wolf out.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I believe the troops should remain in the fort.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: There's something you've forgotten, Major forgotten. It's sometimes good tactics.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Let the enemy think you've taken the bait offered you
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: as long as you know it's faith and stay clear
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: the trap.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: You're safe, eh.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Don't understand Running.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Off obviously wants your soldiers to leave the fort, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: why not let them leave and see what happened.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: I know what would happen the minute they were beyond
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: recall you it strike.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: But if your troops could be brought back to meet
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: him when he strikes, Yes, there's something to that. If
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: you look at it, clearly, you have no choice what
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: happens if you oppose Captain Faust. I'll call for a
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: show down. It'll be definitely established that you are to say,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: and he'll be within his rights to assume active command.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Captain Fous has already called for a showdown, and why
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I granted to him turn over the command to a major,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: but do so without openly admitting your disability and defa.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I think I can find a way to turn the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: situation to your advantage.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: And your plan.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you after I've seen a friend of them.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: I have no time.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Captain Fouse will be returning.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: You haven't to me again.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: The lone ranger raced away from the fort and across
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: the plain to a distant grove of trees where Todda
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: was waiting for him, Steady Silver.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: What happened?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I think I gained my point, Kim, I've did you
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: have any difficulty escaping the soldiers.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: That not hard?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Scount right away from him, even scared. I don't finished yet, Tata,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: and want time to do. I want you to return
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: to where we saw the Indians gathering. Watch them when
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: they move out on the war path. Send me the
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: smoke signals we've used before. Huh counter do it? In
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: the meantime, remaining near the fort, huh, and got an idea.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: It won't belong till the troop tried out in force,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: and when they do, I'm calling on Major Davis again.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Major Davis has finished the wound they got, has permanently
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: disabled him, and have plenty band but just once more
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: before he retires, chemis having He's going to lead a
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: squadron in a battle that good, and when he does,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: it'll be the finish of Running Wolf.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Captain Faust returned to the fort after his unsuccessful pursuit
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: of Tonto and headed for the Major's quarters. This time,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: he was given a far different reception.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Give you may figure over what you said, Sir.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: I realize how seriously I could be punished for what
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I've done. On the other hand, I believe I did right.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Who I never questioned your society.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I have almost certain evidence, sir, that you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Never mind never mind will leave me and my supposed
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: condition out of these If I'm not mistaken, you believe
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: you still for the reason for taking the course you're
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: dead I have, Sir, you think you'd like to chase
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: running Wolves down.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I am convinced that's what should be done.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Have you ever stopped to consider, Captain of these apaches
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: know this country like you know the inside of your hand.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: That an Indian used to brush fighting can strike and
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: disappear before you can even put your mid into formation.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: Sir, I certainly do not believe these savages better fighters
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: than train troopers.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Your man, I'm going to try an old fashioned remedy
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: on your own.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: When I was a young student stubbornly insisted on doing
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: what miss foolish, my father would tell me to go
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: ahead and do as I wished. That the leaston I'd
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: learned would teach me more than all of his advisor.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: You mean, I mean, Captain Faust, that from this moment
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: you're in complete charge of Fortunates troops. Whatever tactics you
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: wish to adapt. I'll make no effort to prevent you home.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: And when you've done your best or worst, we will

  Speaker 5: men ride at dawn.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: In the morning, the troopers were assembled, given their orders,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: and led to the gates of the fort. The post
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: was quiet all day long, but that night.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Here you Helen, Helen, what's that confunded noise? That said, Helen,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: head noise, what is he in sign with? You? Walk

  Speaker 6: door behind you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir fa there is is this the mask?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: And then you told me about it? Is? There is
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: a stranger? Did you do me? Now? Thanks to you advice,
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: the simplers around the fort no longer have any petition. Jim,
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: you and I are riding riding No, father, No, you
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: can't stranger, explain yourself.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: You and I are joining the troops that left here
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: this morning. Thirty miles is a good day as march.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't be further. We can reach them before sun up.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Way should we join them so that you can assume
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: command again before the troops have gone so far that
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: they can't return to the fort in case of an
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: attack in the new condition to command troops in the field.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: You will Major Davis for one last time. Captain Faust
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: is going to be convinced that he was mistaken. He's
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: going to believe that you can see and I can see.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Get ready as quickly as you can. I'll explain as
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: we riding.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Master and Major Davis came within the healing distance of
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the soldier's camp long before dawn. They waited outside of
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the camp until the troopers had saddled. The lone ranger
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: substituted a disguise for his mask, and then changed horses
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: with his companion before we join your men. Majors and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Silver will follow me no matter where I ride. You
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: should be able to give what commands are necessary without detection.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I'll ride your horse in the direction you should go.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And if you give Silver a free reign, no one
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I'll guess that you are not guiding excellent.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: And if I'm questioning about you, I brought you along
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: as a guy.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: One thing more so much time, it's understood that you're
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: to pretend to fire a quick shot at a target
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: to prove that your eyes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Are all right. It's the difficult part of the entire business.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't be. I can see a dead tree behind
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: the camp. There's one branch, a small one. Tell Captain
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Faust that's your target. He'll watch the target and not us.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Draw and let the hammer of your gun fall on
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: an empty chamber. I'll fire at the same moment, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I guarantee I won't be observed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Anything is That's all? Get along, Come on, silver carrying.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Major Davis followed the low ranger, but it looked to
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the startled troopers as though the Major himself were guiding
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the great horse straight toward Captain Faust.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, Major Davis, what's the meaning of.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: This taking command? But if you have any doubt about
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: my ability to do so, I believe you'll observe it
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: the tree one day. But what on that tree? There's
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: well limb? Sir, what do you mean I ssure you
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: whether I've been disabled or not? Captain how are you
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: watching that branch closely? Of course? Well, then you hit
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: it yours. He next time you will be sue competent.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Major Davis is the signal, the smoke signal from Tado.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Running Wolf is leading his brains for the settlers anywhere.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: Return at once, Captain Davis, you will take your place
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: at the head of your troop.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, hurry attend John repair tomorrow. I pause.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Howard below the cliff here Tandhoe had lighted his smoke signal.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Painted savages urged their ponies in the direction of the
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: settlements near Fort Casper, and the clustered dwellings came into sight.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: They broke into shrill piercing yells, then beating their hues
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: against their ponies. Leaning flanks, they swept down upon their quarry. Suddenly,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: before they could strike, a new sound drifted across the plains,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: and nowhere, seemingly a desperately charging squadron raced toward Running
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Wolf's bewildered graves. The Indians wavered, then wheeled their mounts
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: ready for a flight, but the move came too late.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: The soldiers had cut off their escape. One by one,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the red men slipped from their mounts and fell on
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the ground. Running Wolf himself was hitting mortally wounded. The
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: remnants the routing band threw down their arms.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: The telepalons osk, the.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Work is done, Major Jose. They twisted you long, jo
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We can change mounts now. Never go to horse half
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: as powerful as you was before. You'll never find a
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: finer horse anywhere. Major, Ye, I think, Captain faust, which
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: is to speak to you? He's riding this way rather
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: expected him. Maybe, Captain, I'm ready.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: Sir, I said, what do you say? What I before?
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: I was in supportinate, Sir?
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Worse a fool, Captain. You can't hardly claim to be
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: the first man to be a fool.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know what made me think you'd lost your sight, sir.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: Captain First, I'll tell you a secret. I can't see
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: two inches beyond my nose. What you said I was blind?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I am blind blind impossible, Sir, your joke to leave me, Captain,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: However, Yes, if you can forget that I tried to
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: keep the truth from your way, perhaps I can forget
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: that matter of insubordination.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: But I don't understand you led the charge. I don't
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: see how.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: You're going, Captain First. The explanation can wait, But don't
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: give me credit for what's happened here. It belongs to
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: that fellow riding away, the Lord Ranger.
