Original subtitles

Come on, get up higher than that.

- I'm trying. - Try.

I'm trying.

Come on, you can get up higher than that.

Come on.

Caleb, Annie, y'all fetch me some water

and get washed up.

It's time for dinner.

- Yes Mom, come on Caleb. - Okay.

Get the bucket.

It's Uncle Festus.

Ma, hey Ma, it's Uncle Festus.

Uncle Festus is coming.

Hi, y'all.

Howdy, youngins.

Whoa, Ruth.

Well, look at you.

Never seen the likes of you two.

I'll swear you both growed a foot.

And look at you.

If you ain't the looksome-ist thing I've ever saw.

And you, you little scutter,

you still ain't nothing but freckles,

and warts, and feet.

It's good to see you Uncle Festus.

You been hunting Uncle Festus?

We was just sittin' down to eat Uncle Festus.

- Will you eat with us? - Will you please?

Howdy, Festus.

Well howdy, Bessie.

Well yeah, I reckon I could eat a bite with you.

I have been huntin'.

Fact is, I brang you some venison.

I'll hang him up for you in your root cellar.

Well, you shouldn't have Festus.

Well, Bessie, you know a feller,

he's gotta get out of town

every once in a while,

get away from all that hubbub, and hurrah,

just kinda go off huntin' by his self.

What's in the sack Uncle Festus?

Oh, that.

Yeah well, I'll tell you honey,

I done the same thing I done before.

I went to work and bought too many vittles

for my hunting trip.

Aw, Festus.

Reckon you two could take that in the house?

- Sure, Uncle Festus. - That's the way.

Bessie, give me some help here

and we'll get him in out of the sun.

Festus, I do thank you so.

Oh fiddle Bessie.

I get done puttin' away some of them vittles of yours

and we'll be even on the thanks.

Have you ever saw the likes of this weather?

Why it's hotter than a deep old stove.

- Well howdy Festus. - Tuck.

Where'd you get the deer?

Well I brang him in for Bessie and you and the youngins.

- He's more than I could eat. - Yeah.

Got a race with Don Kerry come Saturday.

Hope you saved enough to make a bet.

Yeah, I heard about that.

What do you think of this, Festus?

Three hundred fifty yards in 21 seconds flat.

Oh fiddle, Tuck.

I don't know nothing about that.

Of course that's only a good guess,

but that's good enough to beat old Don's horse, I'll tell ya.

Yeah one of these days, old Jubilee's gonna carry me

to the end of the rainbow and the pot that's there.

That's a-boy.

Food's ready to serve up, Tuck.

You go ahead and eat without me.

I'm gonna rub him down and cool him off a bit.

I'll tell ya,

it's enough to make a preacher cuss a blue streak.

- If you want to know what I think... - Oh hush up Burke.

Festus, gettin' all worked up like this

- isn't gonna do a bit of good. - Well Miss Kitty,

lookin' at them youngins,

and seein' how them and Bessie does without

just works me into a foamin' fit.

And Tuck, he's just lettin' the farm of his

go plumb to seed.

Well it's a crime all right, pure and simple.

That used to be one of the finest places

between here and Hays.

Well, it still could be.

And it's a crime that Bess and the kids

have to pay for Tuck's self-indulgence.

Well, he don't think of nothin' or nobody

'ceptin' that blame horse.

Well, that's all I was tryin' to say.

Well, why didn't you say something before you spoke?

I'm sure that if Matt thought it would do any good,

he'd have a talk with him.

That won't do a lick of good Miss Kitty.

Now I've done tried that.

He won't listen.

He, just as polite, told me to mind my own business.

But I'll tell you something.

Something has got to be did,

and I mean did now.

Well, what are you ogglin' at?

I thought you went hunting.

I did.

Why'd you come back?

I got done hunting.

I was looking forward to a few days of peace and quiet.

All right, don't start raggin' me Doc.

I'm in no mood for that.

What's the matter with him?

Oh, you know, ever since those Frye kids

got to callin' him Uncle a while back,

I guess he's kinda takin' it to heart.

Burke.

And I'll tell you somethin' else.

I think he's sweet on Bessie Frye.

Well it's as plain as the nose on your face.

You better watch out.

You might have your nose all over your face.

Well I certainly wasn't implying that...

I think I need a drink, Sam.

Burke, I'm sure you've got things to do.

Well Doc, look.

I wasn't tryin' to say that Festus...

Sam... your drink.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

Can I have your attention please.

We want to have a fair race and a good start.

Now, if you gentlemen will take your horses

on past the Carpenter's cafe

and wait for my signal.

When I raise my hat up,

come toward me, but stay together.

When I drop it...

the race is on.

If one of you gets the jump on the other,

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Well I'd be glad to let Don have a head start

if he needs it.

Good luck, gentlemen.

Five bucks on him as well.

I never miss a sure thing.

Go on with him baby.

Go on with him baby.

You gonna buy me a beer?

Come on, let's go get a beer.

You got enough beer iced?

Four kegs Miss Kitty.

Good.

Well Doc.

How are you?

What's the matter? Aren't you interested in the horse race?

Oh, I don't know.

I've seen a few of 'em in my time.

- Have a beer there, Sam? - Yes sir, Doc.

Sounds like half the town's over on River Street.

Yeah, and they're all gonna be in here after a while.

About these horse matches,

doesn't make any difference who wins.

We do a bang up business afterwards.

One thing about a horse race,

sure puts people in the party mood.

Guess there's not much doubt about who won the race.

Yeah it wasn't none the first time old Tuck

told me he was racing Don's horse.

Marshall, Festus.

Looks like old Tuck just might hit pay dirt

with that horse of his.

If I thought there was a chance of that,

I'd be the first one to say hurrah.

Looks like me and Jubilee

gonna run out of competition around here.

How 'bout high walkin' that champion of mine

and rub it down, cool it off,

and come on in for a beer, huh?

Festus, Marshall.

Well, a sizeable bunch of folks around here

won some few dollars bettin' on that horse of mine.

Got me more beers offered than I can drink.

Why don't you come in there and help me drink 'em, huh?

Maybe we'll join you next time.

Jubilee.

I wouldn't wish anybody any bad luck,

but the best thing that could have happened

was for Jubilee to have lost that race.

Best for Bessie and the kids too.

Maybe he'd spend some more time workin' on that farm.

What you saw out there

ain't nothin' more than a warm-up for what's to come.

I'd like to tag along on this.

Yeah, I tell you Jubilee and me,

we're gonna make more in a month

than most men make in five years.

Let's have a beer, Sam.

Well, Tuck, that was some race.

Yeah, wasn't it though.

I'd like to talk a little business with you.

Ain't no use, Mr. Wells.

I'm prepared to increase my offer.

Oh, well now...

How much this time?

Ah Tuck, you know I want that horse.

You and...

one or two others.

That's true Tuck, true.

But now how many have come up to my price?

Well nobody, but...

Well, I'm prepared to up it.

Mr. Wells, you already got the second fastest horse

in Forge County.

Yeah I know.

It's a fact I find hard to accept.

Yeah well after being first for so long,

I can understand.

How 'bout my new offer?

Well, sir.

I'm offering you $500 for Jubilee.

My, my, wow.

Five hundred bucks. With that you could make it

over to the county fair.

Still ain't for sale.

Wow.

You're a tough man, Tuck.

Tuck and Jubilee done it again, Miss Frye.

Here's the shirts I made for you, Mr. Winthrop.

Oh, oh yes fine, fine Bess.

And you made mention the fact you'd like some more,

and I'd like to get the material and get right at it.

Well, I'm a little overstocked right now.

Is that a fact?

Well yeah,

as a matter of fact, in a month or two.

Right now, business has been kinda slow.

Well, yes, I'll just...

You're just gonna give me some time

to work on those dresses for Miss Russell

she wanted me to alter.

Well, why don't you just come on in now

and I'll pay you what I owe you.

Give a piece of candy to the children.

Thank you kindly.

Get down, honey.

You know Burke, if Jubilee was my horse,

I don't know whether I'd have taken Ed Wells' offer or not.

I know I would, Newly.

What if you saw him go on to make a bundle of money?

Well $500 is an awful lot of money.

Old Tuck, he's goin' for broke.

Guess he ain't got no thoughts or anything but...

Bess, Caleb, Annie.

Tuck won the race.

I heard already.

Yeah he came in so far ahead,

old Don got blinded in both eyes.

He sure did.

I wonder if one or t'other of you'd

go into the Long Branch

and fetch him out for a minute for me?

Well Bess, you know how Tuck is when he's...

Well, I mean he's,

he's talking business and...

What kind of business?

Well... I'd appreciate it

mighty fine if you'd tell me.

Ed Wells offered him $500 for Jubilee.

- Five hundred? - Yeah.

And what's the rest of it?

Well he turned it down.

Well I certainly do thank you all.

You youngins get in the wagon.

Go on now, mama will be right back.

Afternoon, Miss.

All right Tuck, I'll tell you what I'll do.

If you'll consider it, I'll raise the price. Say 550.

Mr. Wells, Jubilee ain't for sell at any price.

But, I tell you what I just might do.

After we win a few races,

why, I might Jubilee up for stud.

Say $100 a cover.

All right, let me know if you change your mind.

Okay, who's gonna buy me another beer here?

Well if I was to diagnose it,

I'd call it horse fever.

Horse fever?

Like gold fever only worse.

Saw a lot of it in '49 and '50.

Ruined a lot of men.

Give him another beer for that Jubilee run.

Right on the nose, all of it.

I'll double it boy, I'll double it right on you.

You know a man waits a lifetime

for something like Jubilee to come along...

Thank you, boys.

What are you doing?

I come here to talk to you

'cause I just heard that you was made

a $500 offer for Jubilee.

You tryin' to shame me woman?

You get out to that farm where you belong.

No Tuck, I ain't tryin' to shame you.

I just come here to hear you say yourself that you turned that money down.

Woman.

Well is it true now?

- Yes, it's true. Now... - With all we need?

With those children of yours over there goin' for want?

That farm all run down, like it is.

Are you gonna stand there and tell me

you turned down $500?

For the last time woman,

you hush and you get back out that farm where you belong.

You reckon it would bring you to your senses

if that horse was to break a leg?

Bess?

Bess, I'm sorry.

It's no mind, Tuck.

It was you wishin' Jubilee get stove up that done it.

I know.

I never raised a hand before... to you.

I know that.

You don't understand.

Wish I could find the words.

You don't have to.

You just done said it in front of the whole town.

- Bess. - Yes, Tuck.

A man ain't got time on this earth

to waste living the way we have the last few days.

How well I know that.

In 12 years of bein' married,

you never turned from me once... till now.

I'm sorrier for that than you'll ever know.

Remember when we was courtin'?

Yes.

I told you then there was a heap of things in life

I wanted for myself.

Gettin' married, then I wanted that much more for us.

I 'member.

Well, I never got none of it, Bess.

Nothin' but achin' muscles and callouses workin' this farm.

And no matter how long a day I put in,

I could never make more than just enough to get by.

Then Jubilee come along...

and I knew it that first day when he was a colt.

I knew he was our ticket to all we ever wanted, Bess.

Just a few more races, Bess,

and he'll be ready for the big one.

Just a little more time, Bess,

and I'll give you all a woman could ever want.

All I ever wanted

these past 12 years I've had,

you and the children.

Well, I want more, Bess.

I want to walk down Front Street

and I want to have people look at me, not through me.

I want to be more than just a farmer

who's fillin' space on this earth.

I want 'em to point at me and say that's success,

like Ed Wells now.

And... it's beginning to happen now, Bess.

It's beginning to happen now.

One day soon, I'm gonna have all I ever wanted.

Yeah, Tuck won $20 the way I heard it.

- Twenty dollars? - Yeah.

That's more than some folks makes in the whole month.

Who told you that?

Well, Burke did,

He was out with Drew Naremore for the race.

Says it's the third time Tuck had won in two weeks.

Now where in the tarnation would Tuck Frye

get ahold of $20 to bet with?

Forty dollars, he gave two-to-one odds.

Forty dollars?

Put up his spring wagon, the way I heard it.

Leaving Bessie to walk to town if he'd have lost, huh?

Suppose so.

I'll tell you, Festus,

when a man takes to gambling,

there's just not a doggone thing you can do about it.

Just nothing at all.

Ed, Ed Wells.

Hello Dave. I was just on my way up to your room.

When did you get in?

This morning.

Hey, you're looking great.

- Ah, I feel great. - Feel lucky too?

I don't have to be lucky when it comes to beatin'

one of your nags.

Wait'll you see Goldrush.

You know I hear tell

there's a horse around here called Jubilee

takin' on all comers.

I figured you'd hear about him by now.

And by now I'm sure that you own him.

Well, I'll tell you what I want to do.

I'll bet you two to one that Goldrush can beat him.

I don't own Jubilee.

Not that I haven't tried to buy him, though.

Oh, well that'll take half the fun out of winning the race.

You know, if there's anything I want,

it's one of my horses to beat one of yours.

Yeah I know. Well look, give me a few days

and I'll try again to convince Frye to sell him to me.

Let's talk about it over a drink.

Now you're talkin'.

Dodge City's gonna see one of the finest horses

this side of the Old Miss in action.

Folks, I've ridden every race track

from New York to St. Louis.

And I've ridden some of the finest horses there is.

But I've never ridden a finer horse than Goldrush.

Now you spread the word, friends.

You tell him we're here to race.

And you tell him that Billy Banner

and Dave Chaney's "Goldrush"

is five to one to win.

Well according to Mr. Banner,

this here Goldrush is a real fine race horse.

Who's this Banner?

Well he's the jockey.

Mr. Chaney, he's the one that owns Goldrush.

A jockey?

Matthew, that there don't sound like no

head to head horse race betwixt to ranch ponies to me.

Could be Tuck's in for the first real race he's had.

Festus.

I just heard Dave Chaney's in town.

Oh, we done known that.

We don't know who he is

except he's got a horse named "Goldrush".

Do you know who he is, Burke?

Well no, but the way he and Ed Wells

were talking over at the Dodge House, he's...

- well he's... - He's what?

Well he's somebody that got Ed Wells anxious

to up his offer to Tuck.

You mean Ed Wells is fixin' to offer Tuck

more than $550 for Jubilee?

Well that's the way I heard it, Festus.

In fact, Ed Wells is on his way

out to Tuck's place right now,

to make him one more offer on Jubilee.

Whoa.

Is anybody home?

Come on in, Festus.

Whoa.

Howdy, Tuck.

Hey, Festus.

You hear me and Jubilee got a race a day or so from now?

Mr. Wells believes that Jubilee

is gonna beat that Goldrush horse

and he's offered me $800 for Jubilee right here.

Eight hundred dollars?

Now that there is a offer no sensible man

could hardly turn down.

Well, I wouldn't take five times that, Festus.

Besides, I'm gonna win more than that

when I beat old Chaney's horse.

There's a lot of talk around town

that you may have a heap of trouble doing that.

I'm so certain, I'm gonna put up the deed to my farm.

Deed?

Well, supposin' you was to lose it?

I ain't gonna lose.

Well, let me tell you somethin'.

You're bettin' a powerful lot on a horse

that a lot of folks, including myself,

don't think can win that race.

Festus, when it comes to horse flesh,

the opinion of a man who rides a tick-bit, spavin mule

don't carry much weight with me.

Whoa, whoa.

Not there ain't no call for you to go insultin' old Ruth.

Well now, Festus.

You gotta admit a mule man

don't have the kind of knowledge to judge horse.

I ain't gonna admit no such thing.

Now a good mule has got more heart

and a heap more stayin'-bottom than Jubilee here,

or Goldrush,

or any other blamed horse you want to name.

That a fact?

That there is a fact.

And if Ruth was so a mind,

he could make old Jubilee here

ashamed to be called a horse.

Festus, you tellin' me that Ruth

could beat Jubilee here in a race?

Well betwixt here and town he can.

All right, you're on. What's your bet?

Well, I was fixin' to bet you

six months of workin' for you.

Against the deed to my farm, Festus?

No, I'm willing to bet you six months of workin' for you

again' you takin' Mr. Wells' offer to buy Jubilee.

I'll shake on that before you crawfish out.

You betcha.

- Let's get to her. - All right.

Oh, he puts his boot in his mouth more times...

I think he's up to something

that just might get me your horse.

Don't you count on that, Mr. Wells.

Don't you count on that, now.

Well, I'm plumb sorry to do this to you old partner,

but it's the onliest thing I could do.

There's just wasn't no other way.

Not much of a payoff when you win, Frye.

Six months of work ain't to be sneezed at.

I haven't had much time to do much work around here, myself.

Give me a little time to get into town,

I'll have the whole town out watching at the finish line.

Oh, don't worry about that.

Gonna take that mule a while to get within running distance.

Well, I'll see you in town.

You about ready, Festus?

I will be directly.

Tell me, Festus,

you ever do any storybook readin'?

Oh, I forgot.

Well I was put in mind of a fairytale about

a race between the tortoise and the hare.

I've heard Bess read it to the youngins.

Oh, is that so?

Ever hear of it?

No, I can't say I ever have.

Well, I thought maybe you had,

or you had something like that in mind.

No, I ain't got nothin' like that on my mind.

Onliest thing I got on my mind

is winning this here race.

You know, what with Ruth bein' rode out here

ten miles from town,

another ten miles back,

I figure I can keep pace with you

until we get inside of Dodge.

And then we'll see how it goes.

Well, I'll tell you what you do, Tuck.

You just run this race any way you want to and...

me and Ruth we'll do the same thing.

All right.

You about ready to let out, Festus?

I'll let you know when I am.

Well, of course you still got five, six miles

to go to town yet.

Don't expect that critter of yours

could run more than a mile.

You let me do the frettin' on that, Tuck.

Now the race ends right smack dab

in front of the Long Branch.

That the way it is?

That's all right by me.

Unless old Jubilee there

is about twice as fast as Ruth,

I figure he's gonna have to sprout his self some wings

to keep from losing.

Do huh?

Well like you said now,

it's about six mile into town

followin' the road here around the gorge.

Yep, what you gettin' at?

Well I'm gettin' at winnin' this race,

beating you into Dodge like I said I would.

Wait a minute.

You're goin' through the gorge?

It ain't but a little over a mile goin' this way.

Festus, there's no man takin' a horse through that gorge.

Well maybe there ain't but then

maybe this here tick-bit, bog spavin old mule can make it.

We'll see.

You can't.

I mean even if you went through there

without breaking your neck,

it's cheating, Festus.

Oh, it ain't no such thing.

Now the bet was that me and Ruth'll get to Dodge

before you and Jubilee does.

And we're fixin' to do just that

and you better get started.

Festus, that's cheatin'.

You come on back here, now.

Festus don't do that, that's cheatin'.

No it ain't.

Mr. Wells heard the bet.

I might have known you'd pull something like this, Festus.

Well it don't make any difference now.

I'm gonna get to town before you

and I'm gonna be waitin'

in front of the Long Branch for you.

Well, Ruth...

appears like my big mouth's got us into a whole heap of trouble.

I'm feared it's gonna be up to you to get us out of it too.

Let's go.

Stay on your feet, Ruth.

Follow me, boy.

Come on, come on.

Easy now, Ruth. Thatta boy.

Easy now, Ruth.

Easy now, stay steady... Easy.

Now, we gotta get ourselves up the other side.

Come on, Ruth, come on.

Come on, boy.

Come on Ruth, come on, come on.

Thatta boy.

Thatta way, Ruth.

Thatta boy, come on, come on.

Good ole partner.

I know'd you could do it.

Ruth, if a man ever says another back-handy word about you,

I'm gonna get on him like stink on a skunk.

You're the best old boy there ever was.

Now you get to doin' yourself some breathin',

'cause you got a big run to make,

and I mean a big'un.

Come on, now.

Look out, they're comin' in.

Hey, Ruth's ahead!

Festus is gonna win!

Festus is gonna win!

He's gonna beat Jubilee!

Come on, Festus!

Festus is gonna win it.

There's somethin' fishy about that.

Doggone it you old stud, I know'd you could do it.

What's goin' on Festus?

Ruth here Jubilee in a race.

He didn't neither.

He cheated me.

It wasn't a fair race.

You tricked me.

Let me tell you, the bet was

that Ruth would get to Dodge before you and Jubilee did.

You didn't say how and he beat you.

He knew I wouldn't take my horse through the gorge.

That's why.

You mean, you took Ruth through the gorge, Festus?

All right, hold it down now.

I want to see you two in my office.

I was there when they made that bet.

I couldn't believe it.

Didn't ever think he could do it.

- What happened? - Festus won.

That's right.

Festus and that mule beat y our husband in a race, Mrs. Frye

and I'm the new owner of Jubilee.

I still say you tricked me, Festus.

And all those people out there know you tricked me.

Now I'm gonna be waitin' for you.

I promise you I'm gonna settle up with you

for what you done to me.

Outside of riding through that gorge

and just about killing himself,

what has he done,

'cept maybe saving you from gambling your farm away?

What I do with my farm is my business.

All right that's enough, Tuck.

Mr. Frye, I believe you and I

have some business to discuss.

Tuck?

What you doin' here?

You gonna congratulate him?

Go on.

Oh, Tuck.

Let's settle.

Seven... 800.

Hold on there, brother. Don't put that money away.

Save some for me.

If you're talkin' about a bet Dave,

you're liable to get one.

Let's say 1,000 green dollars?

You're on.

Where and when?

How 'bout day after tomorrow right here.

I'll be lookin' forward.

You haven't got a prayer.

Matthew,

you ought to have saw the look on Tuck's face.

You know, something I never actual figured on.

He loved old Jubilee.

You did what you thought was right.

There's a lot of people would agree with you.

Matthew, you think there's a chance

that Jubilee can beat Goldrush in that race?

I just don't know, Festus.

All a part of this $800 and the deed to my farm

says that Jubilee is gonna beat Goldrush.

Tuck, why don't you put that in the bank?

Because I believe in Jubilee

and I'm willing to back up what I believe in

with all I got.

Well you're gonna look a long way

before you find anybody in Dodge

that'll bet against you.

Pour me another drink.

Don't you figure you've had enough?

No, I don't figure I had enough.

Well, I do.

I think you better get on home

before you get yourself in trouble.

Why is everybody so all-fired concerned about me, anyway?

That's a good question,

the way you've been piling abuses on your friends

the last couple of days.

- That's a mighty good question. - My friends, huh?

You mean like Festus there, huh?

Starting with Festus.

Starting with the one person

that didn't have anything to gain from this,

except to see that you didn't lose your farm.

Jubilee is gonna beat Goldrush.

Hey they're bringin' Goldrush out

down by the depot, come on!

Well Wes, I wonder what old Chaney's

got up his sleeve this time.

Billy boy, I've waited a long time for this day.

Don't worry, Mr. Chaney.

Goldrush'll beat this horse hands down.

All right.

I'll cover anything you want to put down

says Jubilee wins.

- Hey look mister... - You steer wide of this.

This is him and me here.

Now I got the deed to my farm and...

eight hundred dollars, says Jubilee beats Goldrush.

A farm's not what this is all about.

You want to bet, I'm your man.

Well would you look at that.

Well Festus, when a man's mind is made up,

not much you can do.

I know you can do it.

I let you down,

but you can beat anything on four legs.

I know you can.

Open it up fellas.

Show him off, Bill.

You dog.

Gentlemen, the startin' line's

up at this side of town.

Watch for my signal.

Go!

Nice ride, Whitey.

Took me five years to beat you.

I know, it took an import to do it, though.

I told you Goldrush was some horse.

Next time I'll surprise you.

Mr. Chaney.

Lucky for you mister,

I wasn't in the market for a farm.

I guess I'm lucky in more ways than one.

The best thing for you to do, son,

is to put the rest of that money in the bank.

That's good advice, Ed.

Next time I come through here,

you get yourself a real horse

and we'll have us another race.

Come on, winner buys.

Nice goin' there, Billy boy.

All right, then.

I guess I owe you an apology, Festus.

No, you don't neither, Tuck.

It was me that was wrong.

I hadn't ought to have been meddlin' in your business.

It takes someone who cares to meddle, Festus.

I thank you.

Well, maybe we was both a little bit wrong.

Why don't we go over to the Long Branch and have us a beer.

I'll buy.

You go on along, I'll join you in a minute.

Where are the children?

I left them over with the Calloways.

What are you doin' here?

Well I figured whichever way the race went,

I oughta be here with you.

Near lost the farm.

I know it.

Pret' near lost half the money

that Ed Wells paid me.

Would have lost it all,

but Mr. Chaney wouldn't bet me more than half of it.

I know that too.

We can use the rest of it

for things we need.

You're all I ever need, Tuck.

That's all I ever needed.

Let's go on home.

Well, first let's...

go have a talk maybe with Mr. Wells.

What for?

Let's see how much he wants for a race horse

that's just been beaten?

You mean to buy Jubilee back from him?

Well, he weren't the horse to beat that Mr. Chaney fella's,

and that's all Mr. Wells wanted him for.

He'd be an awful good buggy horse once he's broke to harness.
