Rollin', rollin', rollin' Hyah! Hyah! Rawhide! Hyah! No train in sight yet.
Kind of glad.
I don't think I could stand all that noise.
Must have been something wrong with that whiskey they served back in town.
I never heard of a three-day hangover before.
Well, I got one.
Anyway, we might be better off if Mr.
Favor ain't in on that train.
I'm beginning to think maybe he got help up in Philadelphia by something or another.
Always said Mr.
Favor's one trail boss with brains.
That what you always said? Maybe he decided to stay in Philadelphia.
No, he gotta He's gotta come out here.
He's gotta get the cattle money back to the ranchers in San Anton'.
About money, uh, Rowdy, l I know what I did with all my money.
And, uh, I know what happened to Joe's.
But what did you do with yours? Uh I had a few drinks, and then I got into that card game at the Bon Ton Saloon.
There's where my horse went.
Mine too.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You were there, weren't you? Hm.
That sure was a good horse you used to have.
Well, that was before I met the girl from Glens Falls, New York.
Don't remember hearing about no girl from Glens Falls, New York.
You know, that's funny.
I've been thinking about her.
I have a feeling Glens Falls never heard of her either.
Glens Falls, New York, is a long ways from Sedalia, Missouri.
I guess the train fare kind of cleaned you out, huh? I hope Mr.
Favor is on this train.
You know, it's a funny thing.
There ain't a drover born that don't draw every other breath on the trail and cussing the day he'd become one.
You take him off the trail, now I'm hungry.
Well, now, that's what I mean.
You're pushing cattle north.
There ain't no whiskey to drink.
There ain't no pretty girls to look at.
There's nothing but bees and dust.
We sure do get fed regular.
Wishbone? Mm? So we're kind of hungry and we thought, being as you had the chuck wagon here Are you planning on eating it? 'Cause I'm planning on eating the saddles and all that gear.
That's all we got in there.
I wonder what it's gonna taste like.
You m You mean, you don't have a-any f-food in the wagon at all? I'm lucky I got the wagon.
Almost afraid to ask, but, uh Oh.
I ain't ashamed to tell you.
It was a couple, three nights ago I wandered into one of those saloons in town.
Well, purely by accident.
I was looking for a glass of milk.
Anyway, I don't remember much, but there was this woman who'd original come from Glens Falls, New York.
Oh.
Both horses, Wish? Well, she was ailing pretty bad.
Boy, that sure is a beautiful-looking train.
You bet.
If it has Mr.
Favor aboard.
Well, if Mr.
Favor is aboard, we don't want to bother him with our troubles.
Do we? No.
No, no.
No, sir.
He'll be pretty tired traveling all that way from Philadelphia.
It sure is a pleasure to see you, boss.
Got the rest of your stuff on the chuck wagon.
Sure good to see you, boy.
Good to see you.
You're looking great.
Real great.
So are all of you.
As a matter of fact, I ain't seen you look like you look.
There, that's better.
Say, how come so many you down here? I thought you'd still be busy in town.
Well, we kind of finished up our business in there.
Yeah, yeah.
We sure did.
Real fine train.
Yeah, they're making 'em better every year.
Bet it was real comfortable riding on a train like that.
Comfortable enough to sleep in, I'll bet.
Oh, say, I hope one of you remembered to bring an extra horse along for me.
Oh, I forgot.
Of course.
I can ride into town on the chuck wagon.
Can't I? You sure can, boss.
You can ride anywhere the chuck wagon's going.
Only thing is it ain't going anywhere.
I would have headily brought you along a horse, boss, but I don't seem to have one either.
Us neither.
Well, how are you ever expecting to get to San Anton'? You're gonna hire us on again, ain't you? Well, I was thinking about it, but Well, it's You know, we can pick up horses in this country.
That's easy.
No trouble getting rid of one, either.
Especially in this part of the country, huh? I don't see how you can think You're right, boss.
It is easy to get rid of 'em.
Every one of them? Boss, don't ask any questions.
We wouldn't want to lie to you, and you wouldn't want to hear the truth.
Fair enough.
That leaves five of us on foot in the middle of Missouri.
Yeah, well Well you're gonna hire us on again.
Maybe you could advance us some money, and we'd go back into town and buy 'em back.
The only money I got's from the sale of the herd, and every penny of that's gotta get to the owners in San Anton'.
I don't even have enough money to buy a horse myself.
You too? l I mean, Glens Falls, New York, isn't that far from Phila Forget I said anything.
Well, it's gonna be a long walk back to Texas.
And we ain't used to walking.
I don't mind the walk so much, but who's gonna haul the chuck wagon? That's easy.
Chuck wagon stays here.
Oh, no.
I lost my money and I lost both my horses, but one thing I ain't gonna lose is that chuck wagon.
Well, if I was sleeping, I'd be sure I was dreaming.
I see what you mean.
Them ain't gophers.
Those are horses.
Horses? Oh, yeah.
Horses.
Must be 40 or 50 of 'em.
Must be.
We only need six.
That's all we'd need.
M-maybe we could buy six or so.
Without any money? Well, there's more than one way of getting a horse.
Scarlet, let me have your gun belt.
Sure, boss.
Oh, wait a minute, boss.
We need horses, but Talking won't get you any.
I ain't gonna let him do it.
At least he's doing it for us, Wish.
I know that.
Uh you can't stop him once he's made up his mind.
Well that being the case least we can do is help him.
Nice lot of horses you got there.
They ain't bad.
How many? Forty-eight.
Uh-huh.
They all in good shape? They sure are.
We'll, uh, take those horses now.
And don't give us any trouble.
We been drinking or have they? Ain't you forgetting something? Well, there was supposed to be 50 horses, but only 48 were delivered.
Keep your hands right where they are.
Um, don't make a move, neither of you.
I'll take some money along with the horses.
Oh, uh boss, h-horse stealing's one thing Sure, we can use the money, but taking it off the same jaspers we take the horses off of don't seem right.
I'll decide what's right.
Let's have the money.
Sure.
If you don't mind, Mr.
Favor, we have rather a tight schedule.
We'll be moving along now.
All right, get moving, both of you.
Quince, Scarlet, come on up here and help unload these horses.
Boss, you can't just let 'em leave like that.
They'll be back in no time with armed men.
Why? 'Cause you didn't have your face covered, that's why.
Well, that's what they always do, isn't it? Come back with armed men? What for? Oh, boss, you been in Philadelphia too long.
You're out here now.
All you gotta do out here is whistle and you got a posse.
And this time with railroad bulls.
Just 'cause I bought some horses? Bought? What? Oh, l I knew you were kidding all the time.
Did you? No.
Oh, well, heh I sure am relieved to know that you're not a horse thief or a train robber.
For a while there, I thought I was.
Well, I'm glad to know if I ever want to steal a horse or rob a train, you're behind me.
Oh, I bought 50 horses, and they only came up with 48.
That's the reason the conductor had some money for me.
Now, let's get that chuck wagon into town and get some supplies.
Uh, if we need any.
Well, it isn't that I need 'em, but my stomach sure does.
Here to buy a horse.
And your horses too, Wishbone.
My team? Oh, where'd they come from? Well, let's quit standing around.
Get 'em watered.
Rowdy, your horse is here.
How did you know we were gonna need horses? Oh, a lot cheaper in Sedalia than San Anton'.
More in demand down there.
And here's yours, Mr.
Favor.
Why, yeah.
There's my horse.
Oh, so that's how you knew, huh? That's how I knew.
Well, those horses, huh? Lucinda, she was a busy girl.
Huh? Lucinda.
That's a girl I, you know Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! What do you think you're doing? Those are dishtowels.
They don't grow on trees.
Say, I've been thinking.
You didn't offer to mention, but where the heck's Pete? I don't know.
He went to Philadelphia with you, didn't he? Hm.
Last time I saw Pete, he said he'd never scout for me again.
Well, that's bad news.
Pete's a fairly good scout.
That he is.
What are you gonna use for a scout when we start up north from San Anton' again? Pete, of course.
One of these days you're gonna say something like that, and it isn't gonna come true.
Say, you ain't casting no shadow.
I'm a full-grown American citizen.
I cast just as big a shadow as anybody else.
Except sometimes a little shorter.
I'm talking about Mushy.
Oh, him.
Well, he's up at Orinsville.
We'll be passing by there tomorrow.
Why Orinsville? Uh, he heard about a schoolteacher up there.
Thought it about time he learned to read.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, I don't know about that.
Well, I mean, I'm thinking about the teacher.
If he wasn't a drinking man before Mushy come along, I'll bet he is now.
Hey, something's bothering those horses.
Quince, gotta go look after 'em.
This ain't hot enough for you.
Uh gonna stop in Orinsville tomorrow? No, I don't think so.
Somebody ought to rescue that teacher from Mushy.
Why? You miss Mushy? You must be out of your mind.
Now, why would I miss that overgrown, brainless? Well, yeah.
Kind of do.
Just some stray.
We tied him up.
Yeah, he was just lost and lonesome.
Hey, why don't you go into town, take the stray, give him to the sheriff, pick up Mushy at the same time? All right.
Oh, yeah.
That's the horse.
Black, pretty white stockings.
Who's boss of this outfit? That'd be me.
My name's Wilson.
Sheriff of Orinsville.
Howdy.
My name's Favor.
Get your horse.
Why? You're coming with us.
Get his gun, Chandler.
Hey, hold on a minute.
What's this all about? You're under arrest.
Charge is horse-stealing.
Look, I got a bill of sale for every one of those horses.
Including that black horse with the three white stockings? Uh, well, no.
Uh, he's a stray.
That's the only one you're accused of stealing.
Mr.
Favor didn't steal that horse.
Look, he just wandered into our camp.
The only reason we tied that horse up is it was bothering ours.
You'll have your chance to testify.
There'll be a hearing.
Go ahead, Chandler.
Take his gun.
Gonna let him get away with this? Well, I ain't gonna run with a man holding a gun on me.
Look, you might as well all stay here until l Now, when's the hearing gonna be? Pretty quick.
We don't waste too much time on horse thieves.
Why don't you try taking off your badge and saying that, huh? Let's move out.
You hold it until I get back.
I'll hold it.
Otis ride on out to Cronin's ranch and tell him we got his horse.
Right, sheriff.
Hello, Clara.
So What are you doing here? Well, I knew you were going to arrest someone.
I just wanted to make sure.
I arrested my man.
Will you empty your pockets, please? You're wearing your blue dress.
Yes.
That all? That's it.
What do you want me to do with his horse, sheriff? Stable him in the barn with Cronin's.
Look, I want that in a good, safe place.
It will be.
Is, uh, Cronin the man who reported his horse stolen? That's right.
When? Last night.
Then how come you came to us first thing this morning? Chandler's part Indian.
He's a good tracker.
Look, I'm a trail boss.
My papers will show that.
I just bought a herd of 48 horses.
Now, why would I steal one? No idea.
I pushed a herd of 3,000 head to Sedalia.
I'm taking the money from the sale back to the owners in San Anton'.
Now, why would I take a chance on stealing one horse? I don't know, Mr.
Favor.
I don't know.
Look, I'm not a judge.
A horse was reported stolen.
I found that horse in your possession.
You'll have your chance to explain how it got there.
You coming home tonight, Tom? Depends on Cronin.
If he don't show up, I'll stay here overnight.
Mm.
Well, I've got to get back to the house.
Chickens have to be fed.
Go on back then.
Tom.
Yes? Please be careful.
I will.
Well, that's the town.
Well, a good strong wind would blow it over.
There.
That jail.
Yeah? Any small-size boy could push it over without no trouble at all.
Yeah, well, you're liable to have to.
Let's go see how the boss is.
He can take care of himself.
Yeah, he might want some company, though.
Well, the best place to find out anything in a town of this sort is the saloon.
Best man for it's the bartender.
Rowdy.
Yeah? Let's stay away from girls from Glens Falls.
Well, well.
Sure is a long time since I seen you fellas.
We ain't never been here before.
Well, that explains it.
Don't have much trade here in the afternoon.
Well, tell the truth, don't have much trade at night either.
Of course, the morning, we're closed.
Well, you, uh, serve whiskey though, don't you? I'm glad you mentioned that.
Are you the owner of this place? Yup.
The owner, the bartender, chief customer.
You name it, and I'm him.
Oh, darn it.
Same thing every day.
Wrong key.
Hey, uh, whoa.
Hold it.
Uh real nice town you got here.
What town? This one.
Orinsville.
Used to be just a wide place in the road.
T'ain't even that anymore.
But you got a jail, though.
Yeah.
Usually they don't have any more customers over there than I have in here.
I guess it's, uh, just a big day for both of us.
Somebody in jail? Yeah, a horse thief.
How do you know that? Oh, a town as small as this, anybody sneezes, everybody wipes their nose.
Uh whose horse was stolen? Fella named Cronin.
He's got a small spread out about four of five miles out of town.
Uh, don't go away, fellas.
I'll be right back.
Things sure are booming around here.
Well, what did we find out? We found out things sure are booming.
Yeah, well, that ain't helping Mr.
Favor none.
We gotta wait for that fella, Cronin.
We ain't heard much about him, though.
He was too quick to call for the law.
Now, that horse came in there without saddle or bridle.
We knew it straight, he should've known the same thing.
Well, it might be a pleasure waiting for Cronin.
When that owner, bartender and chief customer gets back.
Cronin can't come in till the morning.
All right.
You want me to stay around here? No.
Go on home and get some rest.
Good night, Tom.
Good night.
Hey.
That mean I gotta spend the night here? My wife'll bring you supper.
I'm staying in town myself tonight.
As soon as Cronin gets here in the morning, we'll get your business over with.
Well, I'm sure glad Mr.
Cronin can spare the time in the morning.
Boy, this is a lousy deal, you know? You can't do anything by hanging around here.
Might as well get back to the camp.
And leave you here? Well it seems like a nice, safe place to be.
No, we'll stay here and keep you company.
You got eatin' money? No.
Well, sheriff ain't gonna feed you.
I know what it is to miss a few meals.
Ain't no sense to it.
I'll see y'all in the morning.
All right.
Sheriff? Yes? Ain't any witnesses around now.
Nothing you say would be official.
You really think I'm guilty of this charge? Jim Cronin made that charge.
That doesn't answer the question.
I didn't mean it to.
Hey, don't you ever look at a man when you're talking to him? Mm.
Tom? Try again, Clara.
You look as though you'd never seen me before.
I wish I never had.
The name is James Cronin, ma'am.
You've seen me before, lot's of times.
You're gonna keep right on seeing me.
No, Jim Not anymore, Jim.
Not ever again.
The wind must be blowing from the wrong direction.
I've been trying to tell you for a long time Oh l I don't want to see you anymore.
I know.
Been knowin' even before you did.
Trouble with you is you're a good woman.
You just lost your head for a while.
It's your husband's fault mostly.
Him being stubborn as well as stupid.
We don't have to talk about Tom.
I've heard he'd changed your mind.
Well, I ain't changed mine.
It's still you and me.
No.
Suit yourself.
But what we planned still happens.
Otherwise l I can't.
I just can't, Jim.
You wouldn't want me to have a heart-to-heart talk with your husband now, would you? I never understood why anyone could kill before.
Now I do.
You're frightenin' me something terrible.
Get out of my house.
I'll do what you want.
I'm sure you will.
I'll drop by again.
I told you before a man with nothing in his pocket winds up with nothing in his glass.
Real brave thinking, huh? That's a lie.
I'm a coward.
Trouble, Ben? Well, a little bit, sheriff.
Dorn here Yeah, yeah.
Dorn here wants a drink.
Give me that bottle.
What are you gonna do about it, Mr.
Wilson? Sheriff Wilson.
Sheriff who can't even Put that bottle on that hitch rail.
What are you wanna do with that gun now, Dorn? Now, get your horse and get outta here.
Sorry to have bothered you, sheriff.
That's the job.
One of these days, Tom, they're going to shoot back.
You bring the food for the prisoner? Yes.
And you.
When are you going to give in? Realize you shouldn't be a sheriff.
Take the food inside.
Oh.
Tom, it's for your prisoner.
Tom? Thank you.
Hey, what was all the shooting about? Nothing important.
Here's your supper.
Ah, it looks good.
It is good.
My wife's a fine cook.
At least none of the prisoners ever complain.
Mm.
I can see why.
Get ready for coffee, yell.
I could use some light.
Should've left the door open.
Tom? Hm? You're not coming home tonight? No.
Oh.
Where you staying? Ben has got a spare room over the saloon.
I'll stay there.
I see.
Well would you mind if I stayed with you tonight? I mean when you're not home, I get frightened.
l I just worry about you.
May I? Cronin's coming, sheriff.
Bring the prisoner in, Otis.
Miller you know what you gotta do.
Sure, I know.
Dorn? I know, Mr.
Cronin.
Close the door, Chandler.
Leave it open.
This ain't gonna take long.
I run this office, Cronin.
Well, for right now, you ain't got no office to run.
I ain't pressing charges.
What? Wait a minute, that ain't enough.
I've been accused of horse stealing.
There ain't no horse been stolen.
You reported a stolen horse, Cronin.
Miller? That's my fault, sheriff.
I kind of forgot about the busted log in the corral fence.
I saw it, sheriff.
Told Miller he'd better own up to it.
That's what he did.
So this morning I told Mr.
Cronin the horse strayed.
Wasn't stolen at all.
I guess, Mr.
Favor, a trail boss is used to delays of one kind or another.
Sorry.
Let's go, boys.
Otis? Get Mr.
Favor's gun.
Your things, Mr.
Favor.
Too bad about what happened.
This envelope was sealed last night.
You just ripped it open.
There was $50,000 in this envelope.
If there was $50,000 in that envelope last night, there's $50,000 in there now.
Well, look at it.
Are you blind?! Yes, Mr.
Favor.
I am.
You You said your wife was wearing a blue dress.
Her blue dress is gingham.
And that smells a lot different than cotton or silk.
It's newspaper, Mr.
Wilson.
Cut up into the shape of money.
Then that's what was in there last night.
Philadelphia newspaper.
And you were in Philadelphia.
And brought the newspaper back with me.
And the money.
And I'm the only man that knows the combination to that safe.
Well, you know where that puts you.
Because I'm telling you, there was money in that envelope.
Are you calling me a thief? I'm saying that somebody is.
Look, maybe you lost the money or gambled it away.
Maybe you think by accusing me, you can get yourself out of trouble.
Did I know I was gonna be arrested? To have my things taken away from me? So I could plan this thing? If there was money, and it was stolen, then I'm the only one could've stolen it.
Then you're the man that stole it.
Man could get himself shot saying that about Mr.
Wilson.
I'm going back to our camp.
I'll give you time to get the money together.
But you'd better show up with it soon.
Or we'll all be coming back into town.
Oh.
I didn't take the money, Jim.
You're a liar! No! We hung around long enough to find out the money's gone.
I don't know anything about that.
I just know I couldn't do what you asked.
There was a time Yes, there was.
But not anymore! Can't you understand that I love my husband? So much, you'd like to convince me that he stole the trail boss's money He didn't! It ain't in that room either, Mr.
Cronin.
It's got to be.
Were you planning on keeping it all for yourself? I was afraid you'd try taking it at the jail.
You're not as smart as I thought.
Would I have planned all this, starting with accusing the trail boss of stealing my horse, if I'd wanted to grab and run? No.
This way it's either the sheriff or the trail boss.
It's nothing to do with Jim Cronin at all.
Miller, saddle up a horse for Mrs.
Wilson.
She's coming with us.
You've got the money, now, why don't you leave me alone? The horses are real peaceful.
Thanks, Mush.
No one's riding in with the money.
Yeah, l-I know.
You know that as well as I do.
But you ain't doing nothing about it.
What you wanna do, shoot it out with a blind man? Yeah, but we could go in and take that town apart, and get the money that way.
Town ain't got it.
The town's backing that sheriff.
Sheriff didn't think I took the horse, I don't think he took the money.
Why, 'cause he's blind? Because he couldn't have known I'd ever be in his jail.
Hello, Mr.
Favor.
Mr.
Quince, Mr.
Yates, Mr.
Wishbone.
Mr.
Scarlet.
You're not in school now.
You don't need to be calling the roll.
Well, it's just, uh Harkness.
I was just Harkness.
Well, he must be right fond of you to tell you his given name.
Well Harkness was my grandfather's name.
On the Mushgrove side.
Uh, this is Miss Winkle.
Miss Winkle.
How do, ma'am? How do you do? Uh, she She's my schoolteacher.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
You're Mr.
Favor, aren't you? Harkness told me a lot about you.
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
And you're Mr.
Wishbone, of course.
That's who I am.
Harkness told me a lot about you too.
I am not.
Oh, I'm sure it is.
Harkness told me you were the finest trail cook in the world.
Oh, well he's kind of the finest cook's louse.
I don't think that's very nice.
Oh, well, there's a difference between a plain, ordinary louse and a cook's louse.
Harkness told me how proud he is to be your assistant.
Yeah, that's what he is: my assistant.
Well, Miss Winkle and me was out picnicking.
Miss Winkle and "I," Harkness.
Uh Uh, Harkness and I was I mean Well, anyway, Mr.
Favor I just heard what happened in town.
And I told Miss Winkle right away that you wouldn't be doing nothing but telling the truth.
Thanks, Mush Uh, Mr.
Mushgrove.
And, uh, Miss Winkle said right away that Mr.
Wilson wouldn't be lying neither.
Well, that doesn't help very much.
I said "Mr.
Wilson.
" I didn't mention any other name.
Who else might you have mentioned? If I were a gossip, Mrs.
Wilson.
I don't care much for gossip, Miss Winkle.
Oh, neither do I.
Of course, there are times And this is one of those times.
Mrs.
Wilson almost left Mr.
Wilson two or three times after he was blinded.
But she didn't.
If I were a gossip Of course you're not, Miss Winkle.
Orinsville's such a small town, anyone could tell you.
Tell me what? The name of the reason why Mrs.
Wilson didn't go.
Well, I'd appreciate your telling me.
James Cronin.
Yeah, Cronin would be the one who planned the whole thing.
You're sure about this? Sure I'm sure.
And the only one in town who doesn't know about it is Mr.
Wilson himself.
Quince, saddle me a horse.
And I'm going with you.
No, uh don't need any help breaking up a man's life.
Thanks, Mr.
Wishbone.
Thank you.
Mr.
Favor.
Huh? Yeah.
Oh, it's no great mystery.
I know every man's footsteps in town.
Look, sheriff uh, I have to tell you something.
I don't know where to begin.
About my wife? Go ahead.
Yeah.
This is not that easy.
Uh Maybe I can make it easier for you.
You're a stranger in town.
But you found out in one day what it's taken me months to find out.
Except underneath I really knew it all the time.
After losing my sight I spent a year learning.
Learning how to see with my ears and my hands.
And my nose.
Then I thought l I really wasn't blind.
But I was wrong.
Even if I'd gotten my eyes back, I'd a-still been blind.
But there's one thing I didn't know.
That she was a thief too.
You'd better come with me.
Clara? Clara? She's not here.
I don't need you to tell me that.
She took the money and she ran.
Oh, stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Place has been searched, turned upside down.
She would've known where the money was.
Mr.
Favor? There's one thing I need from you.
I know the road between here and town.
But I don't know the road between here and Cronin's ranch.
Let's go.
Forcing me to come with you, it's not going to do you any good.
I didn't wanna leave this part of the country.
I like it here.
Mr.
Cronin? Out there.
Take her to the barn, tie her up and keep her quiet.
Let go! Let go of me! 'Evening, sheriff.
Mr.
Favor.
Where's my wife? You oughta know better than me.
I know as well as you.
Well then, neither one of us knows a thing.
We're searching your place.
I don't think so.
No light in the house.
There's one in the barn though.
Couple of Cronin's men are just coming out of the barn.
Then that's where we start.
You ain't starting nowhere, sheriff.
You're finished.
You got nothing to hide in that barn It's my barn.
To your right! Tom.
Tom?! That's Clara.
She in that barn? Yeah.
Tom! Tom.
It's dark now.
Did you hear that, Cronin? Now, this'll make us even.
And so you can say as much about what happened as you like, or as little.
We got our money back.
There's nothing more to be said.
I have no way to repay you.
The only thing I can do is tell you that I am I'm resigning as sheriff.
Because it's better for the town, I guess.
And because my wife wants it that way.
Horses are ready to go, boss.
Shh.
Everything's not quite ready.
Um well, uh, goodbye until next year.
Aren't you going to kiss me goodbye? In front? In front of everybody? Mushy! Mushy! Goodbye, Harkness.
You were a good student.
Uh, goodbye, uh Thanks for the books.
Uh, you're a real great teacher.
Kind of glad.
I don't think I could stand all that noise.
Must have been something wrong with that whiskey they served back in town.
I never heard of a three-day hangover before.
Well, I got one.
Anyway, we might be better off if Mr.
Favor ain't in on that train.
I'm beginning to think maybe he got help up in Philadelphia by something or another.
Always said Mr.
Favor's one trail boss with brains.
That what you always said? Maybe he decided to stay in Philadelphia.
No, he gotta He's gotta come out here.
He's gotta get the cattle money back to the ranchers in San Anton'.
About money, uh, Rowdy, l I know what I did with all my money.
And, uh, I know what happened to Joe's.
But what did you do with yours? Uh I had a few drinks, and then I got into that card game at the Bon Ton Saloon.
There's where my horse went.
Mine too.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You were there, weren't you? Hm.
That sure was a good horse you used to have.
Well, that was before I met the girl from Glens Falls, New York.
Don't remember hearing about no girl from Glens Falls, New York.
You know, that's funny.
I've been thinking about her.
I have a feeling Glens Falls never heard of her either.
Glens Falls, New York, is a long ways from Sedalia, Missouri.
I guess the train fare kind of cleaned you out, huh? I hope Mr.
Favor is on this train.
You know, it's a funny thing.
There ain't a drover born that don't draw every other breath on the trail and cussing the day he'd become one.
You take him off the trail, now I'm hungry.
Well, now, that's what I mean.
You're pushing cattle north.
There ain't no whiskey to drink.
There ain't no pretty girls to look at.
There's nothing but bees and dust.
We sure do get fed regular.
Wishbone? Mm? So we're kind of hungry and we thought, being as you had the chuck wagon here Are you planning on eating it? 'Cause I'm planning on eating the saddles and all that gear.
That's all we got in there.
I wonder what it's gonna taste like.
You m You mean, you don't have a-any f-food in the wagon at all? I'm lucky I got the wagon.
Almost afraid to ask, but, uh Oh.
I ain't ashamed to tell you.
It was a couple, three nights ago I wandered into one of those saloons in town.
Well, purely by accident.
I was looking for a glass of milk.
Anyway, I don't remember much, but there was this woman who'd original come from Glens Falls, New York.
Oh.
Both horses, Wish? Well, she was ailing pretty bad.
Boy, that sure is a beautiful-looking train.
You bet.
If it has Mr.
Favor aboard.
Well, if Mr.
Favor is aboard, we don't want to bother him with our troubles.
Do we? No.
No, no.
No, sir.
He'll be pretty tired traveling all that way from Philadelphia.
It sure is a pleasure to see you, boss.
Got the rest of your stuff on the chuck wagon.
Sure good to see you, boy.
Good to see you.
You're looking great.
Real great.
So are all of you.
As a matter of fact, I ain't seen you look like you look.
There, that's better.
Say, how come so many you down here? I thought you'd still be busy in town.
Well, we kind of finished up our business in there.
Yeah, yeah.
We sure did.
Real fine train.
Yeah, they're making 'em better every year.
Bet it was real comfortable riding on a train like that.
Comfortable enough to sleep in, I'll bet.
Oh, say, I hope one of you remembered to bring an extra horse along for me.
Oh, I forgot.
Of course.
I can ride into town on the chuck wagon.
Can't I? You sure can, boss.
You can ride anywhere the chuck wagon's going.
Only thing is it ain't going anywhere.
I would have headily brought you along a horse, boss, but I don't seem to have one either.
Us neither.
Well, how are you ever expecting to get to San Anton'? You're gonna hire us on again, ain't you? Well, I was thinking about it, but Well, it's You know, we can pick up horses in this country.
That's easy.
No trouble getting rid of one, either.
Especially in this part of the country, huh? I don't see how you can think You're right, boss.
It is easy to get rid of 'em.
Every one of them? Boss, don't ask any questions.
We wouldn't want to lie to you, and you wouldn't want to hear the truth.
Fair enough.
That leaves five of us on foot in the middle of Missouri.
Yeah, well Well you're gonna hire us on again.
Maybe you could advance us some money, and we'd go back into town and buy 'em back.
The only money I got's from the sale of the herd, and every penny of that's gotta get to the owners in San Anton'.
I don't even have enough money to buy a horse myself.
You too? l I mean, Glens Falls, New York, isn't that far from Phila Forget I said anything.
Well, it's gonna be a long walk back to Texas.
And we ain't used to walking.
I don't mind the walk so much, but who's gonna haul the chuck wagon? That's easy.
Chuck wagon stays here.
Oh, no.
I lost my money and I lost both my horses, but one thing I ain't gonna lose is that chuck wagon.
Well, if I was sleeping, I'd be sure I was dreaming.
I see what you mean.
Them ain't gophers.
Those are horses.
Horses? Oh, yeah.
Horses.
Must be 40 or 50 of 'em.
Must be.
We only need six.
That's all we'd need.
M-maybe we could buy six or so.
Without any money? Well, there's more than one way of getting a horse.
Scarlet, let me have your gun belt.
Sure, boss.
Oh, wait a minute, boss.
We need horses, but Talking won't get you any.
I ain't gonna let him do it.
At least he's doing it for us, Wish.
I know that.
Uh you can't stop him once he's made up his mind.
Well that being the case least we can do is help him.
Nice lot of horses you got there.
They ain't bad.
How many? Forty-eight.
Uh-huh.
They all in good shape? They sure are.
We'll, uh, take those horses now.
And don't give us any trouble.
We been drinking or have they? Ain't you forgetting something? Well, there was supposed to be 50 horses, but only 48 were delivered.
Keep your hands right where they are.
Um, don't make a move, neither of you.
I'll take some money along with the horses.
Oh, uh boss, h-horse stealing's one thing Sure, we can use the money, but taking it off the same jaspers we take the horses off of don't seem right.
I'll decide what's right.
Let's have the money.
Sure.
If you don't mind, Mr.
Favor, we have rather a tight schedule.
We'll be moving along now.
All right, get moving, both of you.
Quince, Scarlet, come on up here and help unload these horses.
Boss, you can't just let 'em leave like that.
They'll be back in no time with armed men.
Why? 'Cause you didn't have your face covered, that's why.
Well, that's what they always do, isn't it? Come back with armed men? What for? Oh, boss, you been in Philadelphia too long.
You're out here now.
All you gotta do out here is whistle and you got a posse.
And this time with railroad bulls.
Just 'cause I bought some horses? Bought? What? Oh, l I knew you were kidding all the time.
Did you? No.
Oh, well, heh I sure am relieved to know that you're not a horse thief or a train robber.
For a while there, I thought I was.
Well, I'm glad to know if I ever want to steal a horse or rob a train, you're behind me.
Oh, I bought 50 horses, and they only came up with 48.
That's the reason the conductor had some money for me.
Now, let's get that chuck wagon into town and get some supplies.
Uh, if we need any.
Well, it isn't that I need 'em, but my stomach sure does.
Here to buy a horse.
And your horses too, Wishbone.
My team? Oh, where'd they come from? Well, let's quit standing around.
Get 'em watered.
Rowdy, your horse is here.
How did you know we were gonna need horses? Oh, a lot cheaper in Sedalia than San Anton'.
More in demand down there.
And here's yours, Mr.
Favor.
Why, yeah.
There's my horse.
Oh, so that's how you knew, huh? That's how I knew.
Well, those horses, huh? Lucinda, she was a busy girl.
Huh? Lucinda.
That's a girl I, you know Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! What do you think you're doing? Those are dishtowels.
They don't grow on trees.
Say, I've been thinking.
You didn't offer to mention, but where the heck's Pete? I don't know.
He went to Philadelphia with you, didn't he? Hm.
Last time I saw Pete, he said he'd never scout for me again.
Well, that's bad news.
Pete's a fairly good scout.
That he is.
What are you gonna use for a scout when we start up north from San Anton' again? Pete, of course.
One of these days you're gonna say something like that, and it isn't gonna come true.
Say, you ain't casting no shadow.
I'm a full-grown American citizen.
I cast just as big a shadow as anybody else.
Except sometimes a little shorter.
I'm talking about Mushy.
Oh, him.
Well, he's up at Orinsville.
We'll be passing by there tomorrow.
Why Orinsville? Uh, he heard about a schoolteacher up there.
Thought it about time he learned to read.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, I don't know about that.
Well, I mean, I'm thinking about the teacher.
If he wasn't a drinking man before Mushy come along, I'll bet he is now.
Hey, something's bothering those horses.
Quince, gotta go look after 'em.
This ain't hot enough for you.
Uh gonna stop in Orinsville tomorrow? No, I don't think so.
Somebody ought to rescue that teacher from Mushy.
Why? You miss Mushy? You must be out of your mind.
Now, why would I miss that overgrown, brainless? Well, yeah.
Kind of do.
Just some stray.
We tied him up.
Yeah, he was just lost and lonesome.
Hey, why don't you go into town, take the stray, give him to the sheriff, pick up Mushy at the same time? All right.
Oh, yeah.
That's the horse.
Black, pretty white stockings.
Who's boss of this outfit? That'd be me.
My name's Wilson.
Sheriff of Orinsville.
Howdy.
My name's Favor.
Get your horse.
Why? You're coming with us.
Get his gun, Chandler.
Hey, hold on a minute.
What's this all about? You're under arrest.
Charge is horse-stealing.
Look, I got a bill of sale for every one of those horses.
Including that black horse with the three white stockings? Uh, well, no.
Uh, he's a stray.
That's the only one you're accused of stealing.
Mr.
Favor didn't steal that horse.
Look, he just wandered into our camp.
The only reason we tied that horse up is it was bothering ours.
You'll have your chance to testify.
There'll be a hearing.
Go ahead, Chandler.
Take his gun.
Gonna let him get away with this? Well, I ain't gonna run with a man holding a gun on me.
Look, you might as well all stay here until l Now, when's the hearing gonna be? Pretty quick.
We don't waste too much time on horse thieves.
Why don't you try taking off your badge and saying that, huh? Let's move out.
You hold it until I get back.
I'll hold it.
Otis ride on out to Cronin's ranch and tell him we got his horse.
Right, sheriff.
Hello, Clara.
So What are you doing here? Well, I knew you were going to arrest someone.
I just wanted to make sure.
I arrested my man.
Will you empty your pockets, please? You're wearing your blue dress.
Yes.
That all? That's it.
What do you want me to do with his horse, sheriff? Stable him in the barn with Cronin's.
Look, I want that in a good, safe place.
It will be.
Is, uh, Cronin the man who reported his horse stolen? That's right.
When? Last night.
Then how come you came to us first thing this morning? Chandler's part Indian.
He's a good tracker.
Look, I'm a trail boss.
My papers will show that.
I just bought a herd of 48 horses.
Now, why would I steal one? No idea.
I pushed a herd of 3,000 head to Sedalia.
I'm taking the money from the sale back to the owners in San Anton'.
Now, why would I take a chance on stealing one horse? I don't know, Mr.
Favor.
I don't know.
Look, I'm not a judge.
A horse was reported stolen.
I found that horse in your possession.
You'll have your chance to explain how it got there.
You coming home tonight, Tom? Depends on Cronin.
If he don't show up, I'll stay here overnight.
Mm.
Well, I've got to get back to the house.
Chickens have to be fed.
Go on back then.
Tom.
Yes? Please be careful.
I will.
Well, that's the town.
Well, a good strong wind would blow it over.
There.
That jail.
Yeah? Any small-size boy could push it over without no trouble at all.
Yeah, well, you're liable to have to.
Let's go see how the boss is.
He can take care of himself.
Yeah, he might want some company, though.
Well, the best place to find out anything in a town of this sort is the saloon.
Best man for it's the bartender.
Rowdy.
Yeah? Let's stay away from girls from Glens Falls.
Well, well.
Sure is a long time since I seen you fellas.
We ain't never been here before.
Well, that explains it.
Don't have much trade here in the afternoon.
Well, tell the truth, don't have much trade at night either.
Of course, the morning, we're closed.
Well, you, uh, serve whiskey though, don't you? I'm glad you mentioned that.
Are you the owner of this place? Yup.
The owner, the bartender, chief customer.
You name it, and I'm him.
Oh, darn it.
Same thing every day.
Wrong key.
Hey, uh, whoa.
Hold it.
Uh real nice town you got here.
What town? This one.
Orinsville.
Used to be just a wide place in the road.
T'ain't even that anymore.
But you got a jail, though.
Yeah.
Usually they don't have any more customers over there than I have in here.
I guess it's, uh, just a big day for both of us.
Somebody in jail? Yeah, a horse thief.
How do you know that? Oh, a town as small as this, anybody sneezes, everybody wipes their nose.
Uh whose horse was stolen? Fella named Cronin.
He's got a small spread out about four of five miles out of town.
Uh, don't go away, fellas.
I'll be right back.
Things sure are booming around here.
Well, what did we find out? We found out things sure are booming.
Yeah, well, that ain't helping Mr.
Favor none.
We gotta wait for that fella, Cronin.
We ain't heard much about him, though.
He was too quick to call for the law.
Now, that horse came in there without saddle or bridle.
We knew it straight, he should've known the same thing.
Well, it might be a pleasure waiting for Cronin.
When that owner, bartender and chief customer gets back.
Cronin can't come in till the morning.
All right.
You want me to stay around here? No.
Go on home and get some rest.
Good night, Tom.
Good night.
Hey.
That mean I gotta spend the night here? My wife'll bring you supper.
I'm staying in town myself tonight.
As soon as Cronin gets here in the morning, we'll get your business over with.
Well, I'm sure glad Mr.
Cronin can spare the time in the morning.
Boy, this is a lousy deal, you know? You can't do anything by hanging around here.
Might as well get back to the camp.
And leave you here? Well it seems like a nice, safe place to be.
No, we'll stay here and keep you company.
You got eatin' money? No.
Well, sheriff ain't gonna feed you.
I know what it is to miss a few meals.
Ain't no sense to it.
I'll see y'all in the morning.
All right.
Sheriff? Yes? Ain't any witnesses around now.
Nothing you say would be official.
You really think I'm guilty of this charge? Jim Cronin made that charge.
That doesn't answer the question.
I didn't mean it to.
Hey, don't you ever look at a man when you're talking to him? Mm.
Tom? Try again, Clara.
You look as though you'd never seen me before.
I wish I never had.
The name is James Cronin, ma'am.
You've seen me before, lot's of times.
You're gonna keep right on seeing me.
No, Jim Not anymore, Jim.
Not ever again.
The wind must be blowing from the wrong direction.
I've been trying to tell you for a long time Oh l I don't want to see you anymore.
I know.
Been knowin' even before you did.
Trouble with you is you're a good woman.
You just lost your head for a while.
It's your husband's fault mostly.
Him being stubborn as well as stupid.
We don't have to talk about Tom.
I've heard he'd changed your mind.
Well, I ain't changed mine.
It's still you and me.
No.
Suit yourself.
But what we planned still happens.
Otherwise l I can't.
I just can't, Jim.
You wouldn't want me to have a heart-to-heart talk with your husband now, would you? I never understood why anyone could kill before.
Now I do.
You're frightenin' me something terrible.
Get out of my house.
I'll do what you want.
I'm sure you will.
I'll drop by again.
I told you before a man with nothing in his pocket winds up with nothing in his glass.
Real brave thinking, huh? That's a lie.
I'm a coward.
Trouble, Ben? Well, a little bit, sheriff.
Dorn here Yeah, yeah.
Dorn here wants a drink.
Give me that bottle.
What are you gonna do about it, Mr.
Wilson? Sheriff Wilson.
Sheriff who can't even Put that bottle on that hitch rail.
What are you wanna do with that gun now, Dorn? Now, get your horse and get outta here.
Sorry to have bothered you, sheriff.
That's the job.
One of these days, Tom, they're going to shoot back.
You bring the food for the prisoner? Yes.
And you.
When are you going to give in? Realize you shouldn't be a sheriff.
Take the food inside.
Oh.
Tom, it's for your prisoner.
Tom? Thank you.
Hey, what was all the shooting about? Nothing important.
Here's your supper.
Ah, it looks good.
It is good.
My wife's a fine cook.
At least none of the prisoners ever complain.
Mm.
I can see why.
Get ready for coffee, yell.
I could use some light.
Should've left the door open.
Tom? Hm? You're not coming home tonight? No.
Oh.
Where you staying? Ben has got a spare room over the saloon.
I'll stay there.
I see.
Well would you mind if I stayed with you tonight? I mean when you're not home, I get frightened.
l I just worry about you.
May I? Cronin's coming, sheriff.
Bring the prisoner in, Otis.
Miller you know what you gotta do.
Sure, I know.
Dorn? I know, Mr.
Cronin.
Close the door, Chandler.
Leave it open.
This ain't gonna take long.
I run this office, Cronin.
Well, for right now, you ain't got no office to run.
I ain't pressing charges.
What? Wait a minute, that ain't enough.
I've been accused of horse stealing.
There ain't no horse been stolen.
You reported a stolen horse, Cronin.
Miller? That's my fault, sheriff.
I kind of forgot about the busted log in the corral fence.
I saw it, sheriff.
Told Miller he'd better own up to it.
That's what he did.
So this morning I told Mr.
Cronin the horse strayed.
Wasn't stolen at all.
I guess, Mr.
Favor, a trail boss is used to delays of one kind or another.
Sorry.
Let's go, boys.
Otis? Get Mr.
Favor's gun.
Your things, Mr.
Favor.
Too bad about what happened.
This envelope was sealed last night.
You just ripped it open.
There was $50,000 in this envelope.
If there was $50,000 in that envelope last night, there's $50,000 in there now.
Well, look at it.
Are you blind?! Yes, Mr.
Favor.
I am.
You You said your wife was wearing a blue dress.
Her blue dress is gingham.
And that smells a lot different than cotton or silk.
It's newspaper, Mr.
Wilson.
Cut up into the shape of money.
Then that's what was in there last night.
Philadelphia newspaper.
And you were in Philadelphia.
And brought the newspaper back with me.
And the money.
And I'm the only man that knows the combination to that safe.
Well, you know where that puts you.
Because I'm telling you, there was money in that envelope.
Are you calling me a thief? I'm saying that somebody is.
Look, maybe you lost the money or gambled it away.
Maybe you think by accusing me, you can get yourself out of trouble.
Did I know I was gonna be arrested? To have my things taken away from me? So I could plan this thing? If there was money, and it was stolen, then I'm the only one could've stolen it.
Then you're the man that stole it.
Man could get himself shot saying that about Mr.
Wilson.
I'm going back to our camp.
I'll give you time to get the money together.
But you'd better show up with it soon.
Or we'll all be coming back into town.
Oh.
I didn't take the money, Jim.
You're a liar! No! We hung around long enough to find out the money's gone.
I don't know anything about that.
I just know I couldn't do what you asked.
There was a time Yes, there was.
But not anymore! Can't you understand that I love my husband? So much, you'd like to convince me that he stole the trail boss's money He didn't! It ain't in that room either, Mr.
Cronin.
It's got to be.
Were you planning on keeping it all for yourself? I was afraid you'd try taking it at the jail.
You're not as smart as I thought.
Would I have planned all this, starting with accusing the trail boss of stealing my horse, if I'd wanted to grab and run? No.
This way it's either the sheriff or the trail boss.
It's nothing to do with Jim Cronin at all.
Miller, saddle up a horse for Mrs.
Wilson.
She's coming with us.
You've got the money, now, why don't you leave me alone? The horses are real peaceful.
Thanks, Mush.
No one's riding in with the money.
Yeah, l-I know.
You know that as well as I do.
But you ain't doing nothing about it.
What you wanna do, shoot it out with a blind man? Yeah, but we could go in and take that town apart, and get the money that way.
Town ain't got it.
The town's backing that sheriff.
Sheriff didn't think I took the horse, I don't think he took the money.
Why, 'cause he's blind? Because he couldn't have known I'd ever be in his jail.
Hello, Mr.
Favor.
Mr.
Quince, Mr.
Yates, Mr.
Wishbone.
Mr.
Scarlet.
You're not in school now.
You don't need to be calling the roll.
Well, it's just, uh Harkness.
I was just Harkness.
Well, he must be right fond of you to tell you his given name.
Well Harkness was my grandfather's name.
On the Mushgrove side.
Uh, this is Miss Winkle.
Miss Winkle.
How do, ma'am? How do you do? Uh, she She's my schoolteacher.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
You're Mr.
Favor, aren't you? Harkness told me a lot about you.
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
And you're Mr.
Wishbone, of course.
That's who I am.
Harkness told me a lot about you too.
I am not.
Oh, I'm sure it is.
Harkness told me you were the finest trail cook in the world.
Oh, well he's kind of the finest cook's louse.
I don't think that's very nice.
Oh, well, there's a difference between a plain, ordinary louse and a cook's louse.
Harkness told me how proud he is to be your assistant.
Yeah, that's what he is: my assistant.
Well, Miss Winkle and me was out picnicking.
Miss Winkle and "I," Harkness.
Uh Uh, Harkness and I was I mean Well, anyway, Mr.
Favor I just heard what happened in town.
And I told Miss Winkle right away that you wouldn't be doing nothing but telling the truth.
Thanks, Mush Uh, Mr.
Mushgrove.
And, uh, Miss Winkle said right away that Mr.
Wilson wouldn't be lying neither.
Well, that doesn't help very much.
I said "Mr.
Wilson.
" I didn't mention any other name.
Who else might you have mentioned? If I were a gossip, Mrs.
Wilson.
I don't care much for gossip, Miss Winkle.
Oh, neither do I.
Of course, there are times And this is one of those times.
Mrs.
Wilson almost left Mr.
Wilson two or three times after he was blinded.
But she didn't.
If I were a gossip Of course you're not, Miss Winkle.
Orinsville's such a small town, anyone could tell you.
Tell me what? The name of the reason why Mrs.
Wilson didn't go.
Well, I'd appreciate your telling me.
James Cronin.
Yeah, Cronin would be the one who planned the whole thing.
You're sure about this? Sure I'm sure.
And the only one in town who doesn't know about it is Mr.
Wilson himself.
Quince, saddle me a horse.
And I'm going with you.
No, uh don't need any help breaking up a man's life.
Thanks, Mr.
Wishbone.
Thank you.
Mr.
Favor.
Huh? Yeah.
Oh, it's no great mystery.
I know every man's footsteps in town.
Look, sheriff uh, I have to tell you something.
I don't know where to begin.
About my wife? Go ahead.
Yeah.
This is not that easy.
Uh Maybe I can make it easier for you.
You're a stranger in town.
But you found out in one day what it's taken me months to find out.
Except underneath I really knew it all the time.
After losing my sight I spent a year learning.
Learning how to see with my ears and my hands.
And my nose.
Then I thought l I really wasn't blind.
But I was wrong.
Even if I'd gotten my eyes back, I'd a-still been blind.
But there's one thing I didn't know.
That she was a thief too.
You'd better come with me.
Clara? Clara? She's not here.
I don't need you to tell me that.
She took the money and she ran.
Oh, stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Place has been searched, turned upside down.
She would've known where the money was.
Mr.
Favor? There's one thing I need from you.
I know the road between here and town.
But I don't know the road between here and Cronin's ranch.
Let's go.
Forcing me to come with you, it's not going to do you any good.
I didn't wanna leave this part of the country.
I like it here.
Mr.
Cronin? Out there.
Take her to the barn, tie her up and keep her quiet.
Let go! Let go of me! 'Evening, sheriff.
Mr.
Favor.
Where's my wife? You oughta know better than me.
I know as well as you.
Well then, neither one of us knows a thing.
We're searching your place.
I don't think so.
No light in the house.
There's one in the barn though.
Couple of Cronin's men are just coming out of the barn.
Then that's where we start.
You ain't starting nowhere, sheriff.
You're finished.
You got nothing to hide in that barn It's my barn.
To your right! Tom.
Tom?! That's Clara.
She in that barn? Yeah.
Tom! Tom.
It's dark now.
Did you hear that, Cronin? Now, this'll make us even.
And so you can say as much about what happened as you like, or as little.
We got our money back.
There's nothing more to be said.
I have no way to repay you.
The only thing I can do is tell you that I am I'm resigning as sheriff.
Because it's better for the town, I guess.
And because my wife wants it that way.
Horses are ready to go, boss.
Shh.
Everything's not quite ready.
Um well, uh, goodbye until next year.
Aren't you going to kiss me goodbye? In front? In front of everybody? Mushy! Mushy! Goodbye, Harkness.
You were a good student.
Uh, goodbye, uh Thanks for the books.
Uh, you're a real great teacher.
