Ride 'Em Cowboy Page #4

---

until one day I happened

to write a western story.

I wrote more westerns and they

clicked too and that was the beginning.

This Bronco Bob buildup

was my publisher's idea.

Well, why keep it up?

I can't tell the truth now. There

are too many people involved.

There are Bronco Bob toys,

souvenirs, all the rest.

A couple hundred people

make a living...

out of a guy that

doesn't even exist.

I never realized that.

The only reason I came out here is

because I had some sort of a crazy idea...

that Bob Mitchell might learn to do some

things that Bronco Bob is supposed to do...

ifhe had the right

teacher. You mean Alabam?

I mean you.

Mr. Mitchell?

As long as you're

gonna be on our team,

I thought you'd like to pick

the horse you wanna ride.

Uh, right now? We wanna

be sure you get the best.

Don't we, honey?

Come along, Bronco.

Oh, bury me not

On the lone... prairie

Where the flyin' fishes

Duke, look! Hey, what are you...

Here, you can have it. What are you doing?

Why don't you look

where you're shooting?

I guess I'm not inquisitive.

You don't know what you're doing!

Hey, Duke.

What?

Please don't be mad at me. Why shouldn't I?

Without you,

I don't know what I'd do.

Please, look at me. Don't

point that gun at me!

I'm sorry. Going around

with a gun in your hand.

I'll fix you. Hold that bullet. Yes, sir.

There you are. Hold these

bullets. Hold the bullets!

Put that gun away...

and keep away from me!

Hey, Duke,

I swallowed the bullet.

It's my own fault anyway.

I'm always gettin' you

into trouble.

I don't know why.

I deserve a good kick

in the pants!

Hey, Duke.

Shh, shh!

Hey.

Put that down.

What's the matter with you?

There, take your pick.

Maybe you better not ride today.

There's no time like the present.

Pick that

tame-looking one.

I'll take that one

right there.

Say, you do know

your horseflesh.

That's Wildcat, the toughest

piece of bronco I ever roped.

Wildcat!

If he tries to get on a horse

again, he's got a lot of nerve.

You're telling me. That

guy can't even ride. I know.

Hey, boss.!

Shh.

What's this shushing stuff? If

you tell on Bob, I'll tell on you.

What do you mean? You're

talking to a real cowboy.

One hot dog, please. Yes,

ma'am. Well, so you got me.

We won't tell.

And you?

Not a word.

Gee, thanks.

Hey, you two.

Get busy and rope Wildcat, that little bay.

Can you ride him?

That one?

Yes.

He's talking to you. What about it?

I'm not gonna rope no horse.

You go ahead. Wait a minute.

You want him to think I'm

scared? But after all...

Do you want him to think

that I'm yellow? No!

I'm not gonna rope that!

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll wait out here. You

go in there. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

No, sir. You ain't gonna

put that over on me.

Then you go in there

and I'll wait out here.

That's better. All right,

go ahead. Get going.

Make it snappy. Go on. Get in there.

He's a killer. That's all I wanna know.

What's the matter? The

man said he's a killer.

He can't hurt us.

- Borrow my rope, buddy.

- Go ahead, go ahead.

Go ahead,

get over there.

Okay.

Throw it!

That's it, get it.

Hey, I got him.

Pull him in. I got him.

I think he's got me.

If I didn't like ya,

I wouldn't let you do this.

Wish you wouldn't like

me so much. Pull him in.

Look, look!

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

It's a horse. Take it easy. What is this?

What kind of horse is

that? Not that one. Wildcat.

Another one?

The one over there.

Go ahead. What's the matter with you?

Let me through!

Aw, come on.

Pull me through!

Go out and let him know who's

boss. He knows who's boss!

Are you trying to show me up

in front of these boys? No.

Then go out there. You want me

to go there with that wildcat?

Okay, pal. So long,

everybody. Not that way!

Will you please... This

guy's always in the way.

Take this rope off.

Get over there. Now lasso

him. Throw the rope out.

Get outta here.

Do a nice job.

Wait! Take it easy.

You'll choke yourself.

Throw it out.

Get it out, way out.

Hey, boss, I think I

missed. I think you did too.

Hey, Duke, save me.!

Save me.! Save me.!

Get him out of there

before he gets hurt.

Nice work, pal.

We'll handle him for ya.

Oh-ho-ho!

Ha-ha-ha!

Shut that gate!

Bring him back here.

Hurry up, boys.

Mr. Mitchell, we'll have him

ready for you in just a minute.

Hurry up, boys.

That's it.

This is the safest place

in the whole corral.

Come on,

get down.

Oh, oh, oh!

Get me off!

Hey, Duke...

Whoa, boy! Whoa!

The little guy's

plenty good.

Hey, Duke! Duke!

Get me off! Get me off!

- Grab my hand.

- Get me off!

Ya-hoo!

Look at that!

Bring that horse back!

You better get me this time.

I'm gonna come around again.

- Grab my hand.

- Get me off the horse!

How do you turn

this thing off?

You all right?

Hey, Bob, get us off.

Come on, Bob. Get us off!

Hold on!

Get me off!

Get me off!

Alabam,

they were terrific.!

Nice work. I never

realized you were so good.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hey, Duke... Poor Duke... couldn't take it.

Come on.

Beside the Rio Tonto

On a starlit trail

He fell in love

with her smile

One autumn while

the moon was pale

And he knew

that she loved him

Just by the look

that she wore

That evening beside

The Rio Tonto shore

Two hearts

were young and happy

Love was all aglow

And as they laughed

and they dreamed

The heavens

seemed to overflow

Then one day

he grew restless

To roam and wander

once more

He left her beside

The Rio Tonto shore

He said his love for her

would be undying

And he'd return when

his wandering was through

But her poor heart

whispered sadly he's lying

It's strange

how it knew

And yet each night

she waits there

On the starlit trail

And prays he'll

come back again

Some autumn when

the moon is pale

And as each evening

passes

She sighs and waits

just one more

He'll find her beside

The Rio Tonto shore

There you are, boys.

I guess it's warm now.

Thanks, Ruby.

I never minded a baby before.

Well, is it

all right?

It's the right temperature.

I gotta make my own formulas.

It's your work now.

Be nice, take your

din-din. Oh, give it to her.

Come on,

take your din-din.

Don't be such a hog.

I feel so motherly,

I should have went

to Vassar.

Will you shut her up?

Hey, Duke, think there's

a pin sticking her? Nah.

I don't think so now.

If you're going someplace,

why don't you take me with you?

How would you like to

attend another barbecue?

What are you doing here? We moved the

tribe down for his wedding to Moonbeam.

I'm too young to be a bride.

Get your trousseau ready.

They let us go,

but they sure mean business.

Duke, Duke.

What happened?

They got me.

They what?

They got me. Hey, Duke. No, no, Willoughby!

When you get

back to New York,

tell the folks

I died with my boots on.

Duke! Don't go away.

All right, Willoughby.

Don't go away! Pull

yourself together. I won't!

Were you ever shot?

It's a burning feeling.

I don't mean indigestion.

I know how you feel.
