pretty easy for the kids to look at this

Coupe a pretty teacher can create a

sight of

trouble oh now this one looks more

mistake miss the girl on this picture is

the one I wrote to You'll Grant there's

a mighty difference between or two of

you oh no that's me all right don't tell

me they hired me in spite of this

picture no because of it I don't know

why the agency sent you this old

Valentine I had to take him when I first

got out of normal school that was my

idea of what a school teacher was

supposed to look like at the time the

school board used up a bar of judgment

choosing this picture they calculated

you weren't constituted to cause any

yearning among the young men of the

township oh you're joking Mr Bane no I

wish I was but I'm fully qualified to

teach

not according to the Cold River School

Board Jane they got their mind set on

what they want I hate to say it Miss but

it's my painful duty to inform you that

your natural prettiness Plum

disqualifies you for the job I never

heard anything like it that sound a bit

un civilized don't it you think the

school board won't approve of me I'm

afraid not miss I'm right

sorry well you needn't be Mr Bane

[Music]

just a minute Miss

Parker ever see a school board with a to

of cart upset no why well you're going

to I don't understand my wife mirandy

knows all about pretty girls she's one

herself yes sir the prettiest girl in

the county she'll help us upset that

apple

cart it's embarrassing the way SCA good

exaggerates about me the strangers I

reckon they get a shock when they First

Take a Look at me now I don't think Mr

Baines was exaggerating one bit that's

might nice of you to say

so all right you didn't come in

now my my you're as good as any Quick

Change artist here put these on they

won't hurt you none they're just plain

glass I got them from mirandy when she

went vison City to protect her from

Mashers kind of good

oh I hope we're not making a mistake

nonsense the boys's got it coming to

them that's right you're just practicing

the might of diplomacy that's the art of

letting someone else have your

way oh my mirandy I Plum forgot it was

bu's day off and I invited Johnny Bones

up here for supper well don't worry

scath good more than Maria now ain't she

a prize I'm going to let him in oh

you know if we'd remove this color I

believe to make the dress look more

sedate

like well come right in Johnny glad to

see you

bye here it is signed on the dotted

line all legal and proper I suppose I'll

send me the bill Johnny I'll always like

to pay promp you could have had this

deed notorized for a dollar Mr Baines

you didn't need a lawyer Sunny I'm the

best judge of that

unless you are so puffed up with the

illegal chores you can't find time for

my little transactions legal chores I

haven't had a real law case since I came

to Cold River patience Johnny takes time

before pin pets become Wings good

evening Johnny good evening Mrs ban this

is Miss Parker Johnny Bones how do you

do Johnny's one of the legal lights of

Cold River well what are we standing

here for I'm hungry hungry Miss Parker

just arrived she's our new school

teacher oh sit right down here Miss

Parker and Johnny you sit over there

you'll be on the table in just a

dist you young people stay right here I

can attend to this

Johnny what do you do with the evenings

here in Cold

River I was just a thinking I got a

brand new automobile ain't never been Ed

much well I usually now don't interrupt

Johnny I was just a wondering GA good

bring in the rest of those

dishes yes mirandy

what I was about to say was that that

new car of mine is just haning for

somebody to drive her

you planning to stay on in Cold

River oh well that depends on the school

board if they approve of me oh I'm sure

they

will oh thank

you if he only knew what she really

looks like

Miss Parker yes Mr Jones

Bones oh I'm sorry bones you were saying

uh yes

that I don't you think it's getting kind

of warm in

here I hadn't noticed it I thought it

was kind of

chilly see I calculate we could pull her

up in that little cottage up the street

you mean the furnished one that's very

expensive for a school teacher or the

little Pistons they'll give her well

mirandy being how we own it we can make

the rant right

suitable looks as though romance was

speeding up from nothing to Nowhere well

you can't expect Cupid to get a head

start with her rigged up that way it'll

be a good test of his common sense if he

likes her in spite of the rig up then

later the prettiness comes as a bonus

[Music]

wait a minute planning Mr ke's busy oh

how's railroad oh pretty

good thank you Mr Green thank you Mr

Hopper all right bnie you may come in

usually the other way

around I got fed up with stale air and

City

Pavements and there was the vicious

Business Circle someone was always ready

to step on your heart to get ahead of

you that's not for me I like the feel of

grass under my feet a little Elbow Room

you are

unusual then you've done well here in

Old River remarkably oh that's wonderful

or cockroach Powers I got all I

need hey wait a minute are you scatter

good B that's me well I'll be oh see

here young fell I'm busy I ain't got no

time to listen to salesman well you got

me all wrong Mr B my name is mcken I

represent big financial interest in the

East oh how interesting but Mr Baines I

I want to make you a proposition

connected with Crane and Keith never

heard of it I've been sent down here to

buy you out Lock Stock and Barrel your

railroad your Timberlands all your

holies I'll do tell you know Mr Baines

we're living in an age of expansion

youth speed streamlining a firm can't

just stand still has to either progress

decline yep yes sir keep these things

dusted off

yes you know Mr Baines I imagine you

reaching an age when retirement tempts

you funny what some folks imagine oh now

I'm prepared to offer you $300,000 for

all your Holdings including your

Railroad and I understand the Tax

Commission valued it to$ 250,000 i' get

arithmetic too ain't you well I always

thinking big figures ain't said a word

about this here

store you want to throw this store for

him all right we'll give you a couple

thousand for it do tell more than his

wor the price of this here store Sunny

is

$500,000 that's just playing crazy well

not from my point of view this here

store was my first business everything

I've got sprouted from it calculate it's

about the most important thing there is

now wait a minute Mr

ban you see that chair what I get a heap

of pleasure sitting there chatting with

folks and watching Cold River on Parade

I wouldn't part with it for less than a

million dollars now look Mr P let's

let's just leave that chair and that

store out but I can give you a good

reason for selling your railroad you

like apple pie apple come along with

me That's mighty fine apple pie you

don't seem to understand Mr Baines I'm

offering you $250,000 for your railroad

plus 10% profit what about my store and

my chair Mr Baines I don't want any part

of your store or your chair or any of

your other holders

all right Sunny just you say

$250,000 plus 25,000 profit and while

we're on the subject of railroads you're

not making any profit of the rates you

charge for hauling Timber well I

calculate I'm satisfied just to break

even for a while the people I haul

Timber far are all friends of mine

decent folks who work hard to get along

if I whopped up the rates or if anybody

else did it squeeze those little fellas

out of

existence ain't going to happen Mr mcck

if I can help it

then I'll have to play my cards another

way and this way you and your friends

stand to lose everything I'll cut a

tunnel through Hopper Mountain on the

other side of that mountain I could buy

Timber at half the

price you own Hopper Mountain I've got

an option on

it y appears to be all proper and legal

I assure you it is here's as though if I

want to get out of this with my whole

skin I'll have to sell out huh that it's

a deal

you got any

children Got a Boy 6 years old you love

him don't you of course wouldn't want to

give him up just like that would you I

think I understand you want time to

think it over say a week that railroad

of mine means just as much to me as that

boy of yours as to you let's say 3

days you got me I guess I'm sorry Baines

but business is business no matter who

gets

hurt I hadn't thought of it in that way

but you got me sort of convinced three

days back I'll see you at the door thank

good night Mrs B good night thank you

for the

[Music]

supper y there's something wrong with a

man that doesn't eat good honest apple

pie Le gave that option to Crane and key

how did MRI get hold of it there's only

one answer he's in cahoots with

him Randy if I sell that railroad our

friends stand to lose all they've got

Crane and Keith will jack up the rates

and they'll be forced to sell their

land if I don't sell

it we're all to lose all we work for

don't fret yourself scav good I don't

know what we and our friends stand to

lose in this Orly Crane and keep

business but the do know this you and me

started life together a good many years

ago living in two little rooms behind

the hardware store if we had it to do

all over again just that way I'd find it

a mighty exciting experience to get a

good

things yep High calculated experience is

all you got left when everything else is

gone

moment H busy is all that

business even if I didn't get the

job name yourn mine $500 I'm swapping

with you for what

clear very

clear if it will relieve your conscience

Zulu medicine man but I have got a heap

of interest in the young fellow to turn

Grand who is the farm boy who said if

a bad measuring route for any man to set

up for

board who's curious oh wait a minute

thing right now do you

mind well that's the way you

feel you once said we had something in

common

smart enough to realize when he's L well

he should worry he's making plenty out

of this deal

[Music]

the name of the Act was Stanley the

great fats of Leger remain an

illusion my funds were pretty low I was

desperate for any kind of a

job the family was patient and really

very decent about everything but I

continued to file applications for a

teaching post and then one day I

received your letter to come here to

Cold

River well Mr Baines you practically

know the rest and that was a Stanley

fell that called on you last night yes

he wanted me to return to the ACT but

Pious members of the school board a

out you weren't satisfied to sell your

railroad at a fancy price you had to

take advantage of your friends now we

can understand why you had Johnny Bones

working for you just to know keep on

talking Jim I'm a listener you don't

intend scatter good to pick up those

options and you know it you just use

those as bait to sell your Railroad and

after you've stuffed your own pocketbook

the mill company only the railroad will

refuse to haul our Timber unless we sell

it to them at their own price exactly no

skag good you don't care what happens to

us we're left holding the bag wait a

ain't no use talking in a Gaya win

besides if the information about those

options leaked out and got back to Crane

and Keith we'd be in a heap of

trouble yes sir Johnny that gun sure

backfired about something you want to

say to

me go ahead and talk ly I guess I was

wrong I should have come to you in the

first place but I only told one fell and

he told the whole world well made me mad

scatter good Bane you're not coming to

me letting me in on this you should have

come to me for my advice while The Whole

Town's turning again you including you

saying what kind of monkey business is

this anyway what's the matter planty

what's happened get me m catrick I'll

hang on scatter good Baines has options

in all the Timberland between here and

the junction how you like that where

then get me scatter good Baines that's

funny you own a railroad now what are

you going to do with it it may be funny

to you but hello I want to speak to Mr

Baines no I ain't seen Mr ban since I

put him on 6:00 train this morning does

anybody know hang it man are you

listening why don't you say something

what kind of a businessman is Baines

going away for a whole day without

letting anybody know where he can be

reached

ah my mind UNC to some people

I told you not to mess with Baines but

no he was of the horse and buggy age he

was standing still while we were going

ahead all right so you went ahead and

you bought and you bought shut up I've

had enough hello M where the Dickens

have you been I've been trying to get in

touch with you you just stopped yelling

I'll tell you I'm in Bane's hotel room

he insisted that I bring the check and

the papers over here certainly I closed

with him he took the certified check

left here half an hour ago to cash it

railroad

what I take it the deal is closed come

on we're going to Cole

you all the morning you SE inches M but

that man's got a powerful B toned

voice Johnny appears though we're going

awful hurry appears as though

H I want to see you loud as how you

might oh where's your friend Mr MRI did

he get lost you're right interesting

sort of a fell you've bought Timber

options from everyone around here I've

checked you're a good Checker Mr Keith

you can't deny it what's the idea

business now you own a railroad and a

pulp Mill neither one of them is any

used to you unless you get Timber to

Hall to make into p

now being as how I got all the timber in

these ha Parts I calculate we can make a

Dicker all right Mr Baines if that's the

way you feel about it how would you like

it if I tunnel through Hopper Mountain

oh you got an option on Hopper Mountain

you bet we have an option that's where

we're ahead of you I don't doubt that Mr

Keith any more than I doubt you could

tunnel through that mountain a calculate

could be done but I had a survey made

that shows about a mile of solid rock to

Tunnel through of course it wouldn't

cost more than a couple of million or so

well go ahead and

tunnel oh yes there's one little thing

you overlooked what's that a Le Hopper

lacked being 21 years by one day when he

signed that option I know I'm his

Godfather well neighbors fish or get to

bait cutting all right Mr Baines what's

your proposition those papers

Johnny now here's an agreement with a

certified check $250,000 in payment for

my railroad which you're selling back to

me what about the $25,000 profit we paid

you let still profit I'm sharing it with

those good friends of mine who gave me

or rather Johnny here the options on

their property

next here's a five-year contract

agreeing to pay those same friends of

mine a right price for their Timber so

they can make a fair profit in the

future b i calm down calm

Johnny's Department right here hor and

buggy
