The Sheriff Comes to Collect on the Red Horse Ranch Debt

The kids, you know that Wyoming will be your new life on the Red Horse Ranch. Sam Carter has just about decided to sell his entire outfit to Steve Bradford. But after talking to his former Alabama, he's going to wait a short time longer before making

his final decision. All the boys are down in the bunkhouse of the ranch singing, while Bradford is talking to Mr. Carter at the ranch house. Mr. Carter, I don't want you to think I'm being overly anxious about this deal, but I've got to have my answer.

I let you know within a week, that's all I can say. I promised that to Alabama. Alabama? What interest does he have in Red Horse Ranch other than his job? Oh, just his love for the place and road and I.

Mr. Carter, have you noticed anything unusual about Alabama's actions lately? I do. More than usual, I will admit that he has an explain why he wants me to delay selling out. But Mr. Carter, this may sound a little assuming on my part. I'd like to suggest that you do watch him a little closer.

I don't believe that I understand. I wonder if you could tell me where he is now? Who I knew of. Well, I suppose he's down with the herd. They're grazing in the North pastures. Then you might be interested to know that I just saw him riding his horse red about a mile west of here toward the hill.

He acted rather bothered to know that I saw him. I've always trusted Alabama and I always will be right there. Of course, Mr. Court. Of course. I'm sorry I said anything. It's just...oh, my interest in you and your beautiful daughter.
