RATHER SHABBY APPEARANCE

"MET ME IN AN OBSCURE

PART OF THE STREET.

"MR. COVERDALE,

SAID HE SOFTLY,

CAN I SPEAK:

BEAUTIFUL READER.

"AS I HAVE

CASUALLY ALLUDED

"TO THE VEILED LADY,

"IT MAY NO BE AMISS TO MENTION

"FOR THE BENEFI OF SUCH OF MY READERS

"AS ARE UNACQUAINTED

"WITH HER NOW FORGOTTEN

CELEBRITY:

WHAT HAPPENED:

TO YOU, GIRL?

HAVE YOU SEEN:

TWO SOLDIERS?

THEY CAME BY:

ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

LOOKING FOR A LOS SISTER, THEY SAID.

I NEED TO BUY:

SOME THINGS.

YOU DO?

YOU GOT ANY MONEY?

YES.

ALL RIGHT.

DON'T YOU

HAVE ANY DRESSES?

NOT READY-MADE.

THIS IS WHAT WE GOT.

AND NEEDLES AND THREAD.

IT'S AGAINST THE LAW

TO DRESS:

IMPROPER TO YOUR SEX.

YES, MA'AM.

MR. MONAGHAN,

THE PORTRAITS SHOULD

BE READY TUESDAY,

IF YOU'D LIKE

TO COME BY FOR THEM?

OR PERHAPS MISS MONAGHAN

COULD COME BY FOR THEM?

AHEM.

GOOD AFTERNOON,

MR. HILL.

GOOD AFTERNOON,

MISS MONAGHAN.

I'VE COME

FOR THE PORTRAITS?

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN

A PICTURE OF YOURSELF?

NO.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK I LOOK FUNNY.

MAY I SEE THE OTHERS?

I WANT THAT WHORE

OUT OF MY HOUSE!

OUT OF MY SIGHT!

SHE AND HER BASTARD

CAN DIE IN THE STREET.

HELEN, WILL YOU

KEEP MY BABY?

I DON'T CARE

ABOUT MYSELF,

AS LONG AS:

I KNOW:

MY CHILD:

IS TAKEN CARE OF.

AAH!

IS THIS RUBY CITY?

YEAH.

THAT'S QUITE A SCAR.

I GUESS YOU MUST HAVE

COME A LONG WAY, HUH?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME,

KID?

JO MONAGHAN, SIR.

WELL, I'M LYLE HOGG,

AND THIS HERE'S SAM.

ARE THERE REALLY

RUBIES IN THESE HILLS?

LOOK, KID, THAT'S WHA THE FIRST MAN THOUGHT,

BUT THEY JUST TURNED

OUT TO BE GARNETS.

THE HILLS:

ARE FULL OF 'EM.

AND THEY AIN' WORTH MUCH AT ALL.

MOST MEN AROUND HERE

ARE DIGGING FOR GOLD.

I DON'T MIND

STRIKING GOLD.

WHERE CAN I:

GET OUTFITTED?

LIVERY STABLE UP

AHEAD, ON THE RIGHT.

YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

THANK YOU,

MR. HOGG, SAM.

THANKS, MARY.

YOU NEED:

ANYTHING ELSE?

[BURP]

HERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

HOW'S THE STEW,

JACK?

LOOKS LIKE:

A BACK-EASTER TO ME.

WELL, HE COULD BE.

BUT HE:

DON'T GOT NO MONEY.

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?

WELL, HIS HANDS

ARE CLEAN,

BUT HIS CLOTHES STINK

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S.

IT'S A NICKEL

TO YOU.

LOOKS LIKE:

A DUDE TO ME.

I DON'T THINK SO.

COULD BE:

TROUBLE.

YEAH.

THE BET'S HOWIE'S.

UH-OH!

WE DON'T LIKE

DUDES AROUND HERE.

WE HAD A DUDE:

DROPPED IN HERE:

THE OTHER DAY.

HE HAD ON BLACK AND

YELLOW STOCKINGS.

STRIPED.

WE RUN HIM OU OF TOWN, BAREFOOT.

HA HA HA!

I GUESS YOU BETTER

TAKE OFF YOUR BOOT.

TAKE OFF YOUR BOOTS.

NOT SO FAST.

MAYBE YOU GO A KNIFE IN YOUR BOOT.

SEE, FRANK, I TOLD YOU

HE WEREN'T NO DUDE.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

NO OFFENSE,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING

I HATE MORE THAN A DUDE.

THEY'VE GOT AS MUCH RIGH TO BE HERE

AS YOU DO, MISTER.

DO THEY, NOW?

WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE THE BOY

ALONE, FRANK BADGER?

HE JUST WANTS:

TO GO HIS OWN WAY.

PERCY, WE WERE

JUST BEING FRIENDLY.

FAIR ENOUGH,

PERCY.

FAIR ENOUGH.

GOOD NIGHT...GENTLEMEN.

[SNORING]

THIS GROUND TURNS

TO ICE IN WINTER.

IS THAT WHAT YOU RODE OU TO TELL ME, MR. CORCORAN?

NOT A NUGGE IN SIGHT, HUH?

NO, SIR.

NOT YET.

BUT ANY DAY NOW,

I'M SURE.

MANY DIFFERENT SORTS

OF MEN COME HERE,

AND MOST OF THEM

LEAVE THE SAME--

TIRED, BROKE,

AND HUNGRY.

OH!

WORKING IN THE ASSAY

OFFICE IS ENOUGH FOR ME.

IT'S STEADY PAY

AND A WARM BED.

THEY'RE LOOKING

FOR A HAND, YOU KNOW,

OVER A THE LIVERY STABLE.

ARE THEY?

PRETTY HEAVY WORK

FOR A SLIGHT FELLOW.

YOU'VE GOT TO

SHOVEL A LOT OF MUCK.

I THINK I'VE GOTTEN

THE HANG OF THAT.

I'VE NOTICED YOUR HORSE

IS ALWAYS WELL-TENDED.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THINK THEY'D

LET ME BUNK THERE?

THE HOTEL IS...

WELL...

NOT MUCH ROOM:

FOR DECENCY?

EXACTLY, SIR.

I COULD RENT YOU A BED

FOR A SMALL FEE.

I WOULDN' WANT TO IMPOSE.

I'VE GO ROOM TO SPARE, JO.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

THANK YOU, MR. CORCORAN.

DON'T YOU

KNOW HOW TO COOK?

NOT REALLY, SIR.

GOOD TO KNOW.

SAVED ME QUITE A LO OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS.

PEEL THAT.

AND YOU WON'T HAVE

TO PUT UP WITH A WOMAN

YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH

HAVING A WOMAN AROUND?

I HAD A WIFE...

FOR A WHILE.

I FOUND WOMEN TO BE MORE

TROUBLE THAN THEY'RE WORTH.

WHAT HAPPENED:

TO YOUR WIFE?

DON'T ASK ME

ABOUT THE PAST,

AND I WON'T ASK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

ONCE A MONTH,

I VISIT THE GIRLS

IN THEIR TENTS.

THAT'S SUFFICIENT.

CHEAPER:

IN THE LONG RUN:

AND LESS TROUBLE.

I SEE MARY'S EYES

FOLLOW YOU.
