Sherlock Holmes - Sudden Senility

<v Speaker 1>From New York, the makers of flipper Craft clothes from Men,
<v Speaker 1>and two hundred and thirty six leading retail stors from
<v Speaker 1>coast to coast present the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
<v Speaker 1>created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
<v Speaker 1>by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
<v Speaker 1>dramatations are by Edith Miser.
<v Speaker 2>Well, here we are, once again, settled comfortably in front
<v Speaker 2>of doctor Watson's cheerful fireplace outside the winter, with whale's life. Well,
<v Speaker 2>let's see, what does the wind sound like tonight, doctor Watson?
<v Speaker 2>A last soul or a baffle vanshy?
<v Speaker 3>What we said, he, mister Harris, that wind sounds rather
<v Speaker 3>like bast the ancient Egyptian cat goddess sometimes called u Bastists.
<v Speaker 3>She howls, they say, if anyone understands the graves of
<v Speaker 3>those who have consecrated themselves to her.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, come now, doctor Watson, you don't believe that sort
<v Speaker 4>of nonsense. You I'm not so sure, mister Harris. I'm
<v Speaker 4>not so sure.
<v Speaker 3>One fell and autumn night as Holmes and I crossed
<v Speaker 3>the wind swept was that surround the King's Thailand? We
<v Speaker 3>heard such a cry, a strange, harsh jutulation that struck
<v Speaker 3>a chill to our marrow bones. And it's for good heavens,
<v Speaker 3>there I go again, forgetting my manners.
<v Speaker 4>After all, you have something rather important to say, I believe,
<v Speaker 4>mister Harrison. Well, I generally have doctor Watson. And speaking
<v Speaker 4>of wind.
<v Speaker 1>And chill, there's nothing like a clipper craft over good
<v Speaker 1>to keep mouching on correct pity.
<v Speaker 4>Holmes and I went wearing a kipper craft that night
<v Speaker 4>of dark Moya. Now, doctors, this is my part of
<v Speaker 4>the entertainment. Oh sorry, old men, pussy.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. There are now ten hundred thirty six fine
<v Speaker 1>stores across the nation that sell clippercraft clothes. Then a
<v Speaker 1>tribute to the efficiency of the Clippercraft plan. And that's
<v Speaker 1>a tribute also to the tremendous demand that an alert
<v Speaker 1>American public is built for clippercraft. In the Clippercraft plan,
<v Speaker 1>you see these ten hundred thirty six stores concentrate their
<v Speaker 1>buying power, affecting tremendous savings the year round.
<v Speaker 2>In manufacturing and distribution, costs. These savings are all yours,
<v Speaker 2>and it's a.
<v Speaker 1>Mighty nice thing to be able to outfit yourself with
<v Speaker 1>values so exceptional at your own local independence store where
<v Speaker 1>you get real service and friendly personal tension. Clippercraft suits
<v Speaker 1>are only forty and forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats
<v Speaker 1>and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
<v Speaker 4>Only twenty six to fifty.
<v Speaker 1>Seeing is believing to convince yourself beyond the shadow of
<v Speaker 1>a doubt. Simply compare clippercraft with clothes selling for many
<v Speaker 1>dollars more And after return to that icy wind on
<v Speaker 1>the Morris, Doc Watson.
<v Speaker 3>When, as a matter of fact, mister Harris, that's not
<v Speaker 3>where this adventure had its inception. It was a brisk
<v Speaker 3>all day rather early in the century. After could deal arguments.
<v Speaker 3>I had persuaded Holmes to accompany me on a constitutional
<v Speaker 3>through Kensington Gardens our listeners doubtless, No, Holmes was never
<v Speaker 3>a man who took exercises if he could avoid it.
<v Speaker 4>Lethargic sorted fellow. He doctor Watts were necessarily needless to say.
<v Speaker 4>When we returned to Baker.
<v Speaker 3>Street somewhere around five I was the one who was
<v Speaker 3>popping like a grampus, while Holmes downed up the steps
<v Speaker 3>as easily as a greyhound. Were met at the front
<v Speaker 3>door by Missus Hudson, the Shepherdine and general fact tutum
<v Speaker 3>of our bachelor domain.
<v Speaker 4>Ah, Missus Hudson, what's up?
<v Speaker 5>It's way past your tea time.
<v Speaker 4>Mister Holmes, Oh the places with team Adam. Give us
<v Speaker 4>an early supper.
<v Speaker 5>What's more, a gentleman was dear white It upstairs half
<v Speaker 5>an hour he stamping up and down on my ceilings.
<v Speaker 5>I thought the chandelier would come loose.
<v Speaker 4>Sounds like a client day Watson. Well, we could do
<v Speaker 4>with a case hose. The exchequer is getting a bit low.
<v Speaker 4>Bother the exchequer. Oh he's sake, Oh, relaxed, we're home,
<v Speaker 4>you know.
<v Speaker 5>Instead, it'd be best if it's a case. See that
<v Speaker 5>he pays. Looks like he had money.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, missus Hudson's correct. Darley visitor undoubtedly had money.
<v Speaker 4>He got away. But what made you think the blighter
<v Speaker 4>was acquent to? Can't you smell it? He smoked the
<v Speaker 4>very best tobacco. The matter he came to consultants about
<v Speaker 4>must have been earli he's left his pipe here on the.
<v Speaker 2>Table, a nice brier with a longish stem of what
<v Speaker 2>the tobacco is funding for amber. Yes, he must have
<v Speaker 2>been thoroughly disturbed to leave behind a piping value so highly.
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy dash, how can you possibly know how he
<v Speaker 3>values his sick pie and the benry.
<v Speaker 2>My dear Watson elementary. The pipe has been twice mended,
<v Speaker 2>once in the wooden stand and once in the amber,
<v Speaker 2>each time with a silver band costing more than the
<v Speaker 2>pipe originally. What's more, he's been here before because, having
<v Speaker 2>run out of his own mixture, he's helped himself to
<v Speaker 2>a pipe for from the Persian slipper on the mantelpiece.
<v Speaker 4>No casuals Craine, you would know that's where I keep
<v Speaker 4>my tobacco. But but here's a step up stairs. Come in,
<v Speaker 4>Come in, confounded man. Why don't you stay at home?
<v Speaker 4>Way of a long hose? It's colonel Rough. I'm viercely,
<v Speaker 4>my dear Watson.
<v Speaker 2>Or bring our visitor a chair and a slight sedative,
<v Speaker 2>some sort of Saint brandy and soda. I don't need
<v Speaker 2>a brandy, Yes I do, confounded, a double brandy. But
<v Speaker 2>don't tell me you've had another disaster on the boors
<v Speaker 2>at King's Pyland.
<v Speaker 4>Will you have that, mister Holmes. But this time is
<v Speaker 4>not man that's been murdered. It's a horse worse, much worse.
<v Speaker 6>Let me tell you there are many men equal of
<v Speaker 6>Blazing Star.
<v Speaker 4>Good Lord, Blazing Star. Isn't that your entry for the
<v Speaker 4>Wessex Cup, Sir? It was dofter Watson.
<v Speaker 2>It was ha Blazing Star. Watson was reading me an
<v Speaker 2>item about it just the other day. I believe he's
<v Speaker 2>the son of the famous Silver Blaze.
<v Speaker 7>Out of lady luck.
<v Speaker 4>You were able to rescue his side before me, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>He's time to in the Wessex Cup. What a race, that, Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>But it's too late to do anything for poor Blazing Star.
<v Speaker 6>By the rod, Harry, I mean to catch up with
<v Speaker 6>the scum of the killer. And when I do, war
<v Speaker 6>was contented. There's a special reservation in the last hell
<v Speaker 6>for any man who miss tree.
<v Speaker 2>Dnimiles quite but tell me exactly what happened at King's Pilon,
<v Speaker 2>Colonel Ross, you.
<v Speaker 4>Remember ned Hunter, mister Holmes. He was in charge of
<v Speaker 4>the stable at the time Silver Blaze was adopted. Yes,
<v Speaker 4>fine fellow, reliable and trustworthy.
<v Speaker 6>It's been promoted to the post of trainer since Uras
<v Speaker 6>saw him, but he still sleeps in.
<v Speaker 4>The stable, doesn't does anyone else to do it.
<v Speaker 2>Blazing Star, like his sire of Forton, was the favorite
<v Speaker 2>for the West Cup. I believe that's right, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>So Ned was being extra particular. None of those stable
<v Speaker 2>boys were allowed to go near the horse. Ned groomed
<v Speaker 2>and exercise him himself. No one else laid a hand
<v Speaker 2>on the work. Can't take too many precautions with a winner, Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Donned rock Watson Well.
<v Speaker 6>Yesterday afternoon I went down to the stables myself to
<v Speaker 6>watch Blazing Star workouts.
<v Speaker 8>Haha.
<v Speaker 4>I wish you could have seen him.
<v Speaker 6>The sunshine glint on his chestnut coat like a fiery streck.
<v Speaker 4>He was coming down the stretch. Never went better in
<v Speaker 4>his life.
<v Speaker 6>Well, I went into supper and cleared a place off
<v Speaker 6>the mantel, the same place we kept the Whissex camp
<v Speaker 6>when Silver Plays went it.
<v Speaker 4>Then I went to bed and slept the sleep of
<v Speaker 4>the just. But along about two o'clock in the morning,
<v Speaker 4>I was awakened by Ned Hunter. As I lift the lamp,
<v Speaker 4>I could see.
<v Speaker 6>His face white as a sheet, and his hands shook
<v Speaker 6>as though he had.
<v Speaker 4>The possy.
<v Speaker 8>Day Dad, what's up?
<v Speaker 4>What's the matter? Man? It's the star, sir. He's took bad.
<v Speaker 4>I better go for the vets. Good Lord, what happened?
<v Speaker 4>He seemed in great shape this afternoon. I can't explain it, sir,
<v Speaker 4>unless it was that cat upset him. You know how
<v Speaker 4>he always hated cat, A white cat. We don't keep
<v Speaker 4>any cats. Well, black cat it was, sir.
<v Speaker 7>Can't say I've ever seen it before, but when I
<v Speaker 7>was taking in his bunk of carrots, I always gives
<v Speaker 7>him before I touched him in for the night. A
<v Speaker 7>black cat goes out of nowhere and slips into the
<v Speaker 7>store between the lakes. Well, sir, you know how the
<v Speaker 7>Star is about cats. He started stamping and winning like
<v Speaker 7>he was possessed. Hey, you to me, no, I'll we
<v Speaker 7>get this cat out here before she's killed.
<v Speaker 9>Oh, easy, star, You.
<v Speaker 6>See that cat came out of here like a bad out,
<v Speaker 6>bell blazing like the devil himself.
<v Speaker 4>And hell, hell, she's waked the star on the flag.
<v Speaker 7>She's drawn blood, easy boy, easy, Hey, Tommy, bring the ointment.
<v Speaker 4>The stars hurt?
<v Speaker 6>Well, mister Holmes, did hunters down the scratch and tried
<v Speaker 6>to quiet the horse, but Star was restless. Wrong about midnight,
<v Speaker 6>theyd noticed his breathing was getting heavy and labored, and
<v Speaker 6>he put up quite a sweat. They had rubbed him
<v Speaker 6>down again, but he kept getting worse instead of better.
<v Speaker 4>So I went for the bit.
<v Speaker 6>He's a new man in the district and supposed to
<v Speaker 6>know all is to know about animals, and I brought.
<v Speaker 4>Him back with me. Ned looked like he'd seen a coached.
<v Speaker 6>Ned. This is mister peoples new veterany sarcheon. He'll bring
<v Speaker 6>this Star around for us. I'm afraid the stars past
<v Speaker 6>helps her. I've never seen the lake just seemed to
<v Speaker 6>collapse him from my eyes. His bets sort of sad,
<v Speaker 6>and his niece gave way. Pretty soon. He couldn't stand
<v Speaker 6>up no more. He's lying in there on the straw pretty.
<v Speaker 4>He had gone, dah, you better take mister Peebles right in.
<v Speaker 6>Ned, yes, sir, this way, said, can't found it if
<v Speaker 6>anything happens to that horse.
<v Speaker 4>He was so fit this afternoon. Oh it's quiet around here.
<v Speaker 4>If I could just hear the old boy breathing.
<v Speaker 10>Three o'clock where these roes that blasted cat came from
<v Speaker 10>brah rubbish. No one dies for can't scratch and then
<v Speaker 10>the cats around him a year certainly on the black cats.
<v Speaker 11>Well, mister Feebles, how is he?
<v Speaker 4>What's the verdict?
<v Speaker 11>I'm sorry, Colonel ross He's cancer died very quietly of
<v Speaker 11>old age.
<v Speaker 2>Say the bet pronounced Blazing Star dead of old age,
<v Speaker 2>Colonel Rossa, that's impossible at homes to with this cup
<v Speaker 2>is a race for five year old ex Actually.
<v Speaker 4>Basing Star w five year old last month. Yet when
<v Speaker 4>I when did.
<v Speaker 6>To look at his body, is it lay there in
<v Speaker 6>this tall I'd have sworn he was the oldest horse
<v Speaker 6>I'd ever seen.
<v Speaker 4>Temples caved in, coat dry and grayish hip bones protruding.
<v Speaker 2>You don't think anyone could have switched horses while dead
<v Speaker 2>hunter came to inform you the horse was taken sick.
<v Speaker 4>No, mister Holmes, I know racing star anywhere. The star
<v Speaker 4>on the forehead, he'd interrot it from his father.
<v Speaker 6>The white of four foot in a long scar has
<v Speaker 6>left hide leg where he'd cut himself, and a bit
<v Speaker 6>of wire.
<v Speaker 4>Where As a two year ago that horse was star
<v Speaker 4>full five years ago last month, he couldn't have died
<v Speaker 4>of old age. Fantastic in the cabs, toys and quite
<v Speaker 4>many people. Of course, will Propit by his death had
<v Speaker 4>the bit of the strangers. In the neighborhood of King's Pilum.
<v Speaker 2>These last few weeks, Cone Rosser, there has been a
<v Speaker 2>band of wandering Gypsies camping on the moors.
<v Speaker 4>Of course, gypsies have many curious and little gnome poisons.
<v Speaker 4>They'd be quite apt to keep a black cat.
<v Speaker 3>Once more, and his claws had been dipped in some
<v Speaker 3>obscure venom they.
<v Speaker 4>Possibly Watson, possibly toy Culross.
<v Speaker 2>What's become of your erstwhile neighbor and rival, Lord Blackwater,
<v Speaker 2>who owned the Britain stables Sat Braggar.
<v Speaker 6>Haven't seen him since the Fair of silver Blace. He
<v Speaker 6>was ruled off the turf off that town. Foster sell
<v Speaker 6>his horses serves him jollywill ride. Maypleton has been unoccupied
<v Speaker 6>until recently. Fart a month ago, I understand, was leased
<v Speaker 6>to a professor in Egypt.
<v Speaker 4>Just I believe these a recluse.
<v Speaker 6>Spends most of his time in laboratory, fixed up for
<v Speaker 6>himself in the old study. Mary Baxter, our maid sister
<v Speaker 6>kings hous Fen, says to a queer sort of a
<v Speaker 6>chap works behind locked doors all night and sleeps all day.
<v Speaker 6>Unhealthy sort of life, Hey, homes, Yes.
<v Speaker 2>There are several factors around King's Pylon that don't sound
<v Speaker 2>healthy to me. Cone Once I suggest that Watson and
<v Speaker 2>I take the morning train for Exeter to investigate the situation.
<v Speaker 6>I hoped you'd say that, mister Holmes, I've told him
<v Speaker 6>not to dispose of Star's body until you arrive.
<v Speaker 4>Spending. I suppose you want me to take mere revolver, Hey, Holmes,
<v Speaker 4>your revolver.
<v Speaker 2>And that little black satul that contains your medical kit.
<v Speaker 2>This sum as I'm very much mistaken as the kids
<v Speaker 2>in which we should be prepared for anything. Well, Watson,
<v Speaker 2>now that you've finished farough examination of the cadama, what's
<v Speaker 2>your verdict?
<v Speaker 4>That was right? Hose? The horse obviously a holy But
<v Speaker 4>I tell you that it's impossible racing Star was only
<v Speaker 4>a little over five years old. Ned here will bear
<v Speaker 4>me out.
<v Speaker 7>That's right, gentlemen, horse doesn't die of old eight and
<v Speaker 7>five years.
<v Speaker 4>Looks like Blazing Starring going to be the other one neither. Aw,
<v Speaker 4>don't tell me another one of the horses has caught
<v Speaker 4>the Meladay. It's not one of the horses. Sir, it's
<v Speaker 4>the sheep. I noticed it when I went out to
<v Speaker 4>the pedagraphter you left this morning, they stood there, all
<v Speaker 4>addled together, shivering. Then gradually, all day long they kept
<v Speaker 4>getting older and older. You could first see them do it.
<v Speaker 4>Their eyes are roomy, and their voice is weak. And oh,
<v Speaker 4>some of them can hardly keep on their feet, like
<v Speaker 4>those sheep. We're young. Most of them are dropped in
<v Speaker 4>this year's leaving season. What do you make of it,
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Watson? Have you ever heard of old age being contagious?
<v Speaker 3>There have been isolated cases, Colonel Ross, where young and
<v Speaker 3>healthy individuals have developed a wasting way that Robert resembles
<v Speaker 3>the appearance of age.
<v Speaker 4>I hardly think it possible. Who's this running across the
<v Speaker 4>moors in the sunset? Looks like a woman, a hair
<v Speaker 4>flying loose, a shawl flapping in the wind. She's staggering
<v Speaker 4>as if she would runk. It's Maddie, Colonel Ross. Her
<v Speaker 4>that works over at Mapleton. She is not suffering from
<v Speaker 4>the effects of alcohol. It's pipe that's upset her. It's sheer.
<v Speaker 5>Terror comes cut Ross. Will you take me in this night?
<v Speaker 5>I'm never going back. I'm never going back that again.
<v Speaker 5>I knew he was even the minute dilaid eyes on
<v Speaker 5>the man, and now I've seen him. The butcher hears.
<v Speaker 4>Is of Google always Mattie.
<v Speaker 5>The Master him at least mapletons.
<v Speaker 12>It's so the house full of human statues, the lower
<v Speaker 12>part man and the upper part beef.
<v Speaker 2>Those would be the statues of the ancient Egyptian gods
<v Speaker 2>Ra the hawk, and you miss the dog and bust
<v Speaker 2>the cat against us.
<v Speaker 5>That's what he calls her, the blast that rides everywhere
<v Speaker 5>with him on his shoulder.
<v Speaker 12>Sad eyes are alike him and the cats, both green,
<v Speaker 12>and they both can look at you without even blinking.
<v Speaker 5>Only his head moves through side to side while he
<v Speaker 5>stays at you. I said, his head. It don't never
<v Speaker 5>olds two. He's a ghoul, that's what it is. They've
<v Speaker 5>been bringing him boxes for weeks now.
<v Speaker 12>Six boxes, big like coffins a lot. He drives up
<v Speaker 12>in the day of night, and they carry the.
<v Speaker 5>Box into his study and he locks the door behind it.
<v Speaker 5>The last anyone ever seen of them boxes or what's
<v Speaker 5>in them.
<v Speaker 4>Never seen them in traces when you go into Cleveland Study.
<v Speaker 5>I've never been allowed in.
<v Speaker 12>No one's ever been allowed in that study except the
<v Speaker 12>man what brings the boxes, and then only for a
<v Speaker 12>minute while he puts them down. Today the men come
<v Speaker 12>with another big box. Only they brought it before it
<v Speaker 12>was dark. The master fell in a rage when he
<v Speaker 12>saw him bible.
<v Speaker 5>When they brought the box in and set it down
<v Speaker 5>in the study. He was that worked up. There were
<v Speaker 5>flex the foe on his lips.
<v Speaker 4>You widiots, how often have I told you not to
<v Speaker 4>come here by daylight? Our governor shurns your boat.
<v Speaker 6>Down, and there's a store coming up, maybe partner of
<v Speaker 6>the wrong way to drive back to Tome.
<v Speaker 4>We don't like them recurting the moors in the storm
<v Speaker 4>at night. Oh you don't. Well, this is the last
<v Speaker 4>time you need to come here. People who are for
<v Speaker 4>me a pain in my orders, your pain get out.
<v Speaker 4>You'll be going have a fear.
<v Speaker 5>He Oh, he's a terror with getting one of his rages.
<v Speaker 4>Or you were here.
<v Speaker 5>I I'm the housemaid.
<v Speaker 4>I know what it is. He's gotten them boxes we
<v Speaker 4>bring him.
<v Speaker 5>Haven't a notion that room's always kept locked.
<v Speaker 4>He never so much as looks so killed. Oh, I'd
<v Speaker 4>never do that. It's not right, maybe not, but I
<v Speaker 4>better be interesting. Hey, come along theres wire we recording
<v Speaker 4>the Moors. Heard at heart? All right?
<v Speaker 5>Lit the lamp in there. It shows through the keyhole
<v Speaker 5>he's taking the lid off the box. I can hear
<v Speaker 5>the neighbors s creak. I would sort of like to
<v Speaker 5>know what's in it. One peak wouldn't hurt. I guess, Hello, there's.
<v Speaker 12>Another box inside of the first one. It's got a
<v Speaker 12>painted face and hands. Now he's taken that little too.
<v Speaker 5>There's something lying inside. It's got a face too and hands.
<v Speaker 8>All it's a woman, she said. It's a woman's body,
<v Speaker 8>great Scott.
<v Speaker 4>A woman's body, then the man is a goal a
<v Speaker 4>body natural worsh Unless I'm very much mistaken. He's much worse,
<v Speaker 4>Colonel Ross. As for the body, I imagine it's been
<v Speaker 4>dead a long long time.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think Watson and I will take a stroller
<v Speaker 2>with a mapleton later this evening.
<v Speaker 4>I like to take a look at the contents of
<v Speaker 4>that box myself. What a knight to go talking about
<v Speaker 4>the Moor's homes. I'm soaked to the skin.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the equinoxial reign seemed to be especially biggous this year.
<v Speaker 2>I want some big second hardly say good Lord, what
<v Speaker 2>was that that time?
<v Speaker 4>Agin?
<v Speaker 2>Just a member of a feline or cat family? I
<v Speaker 2>was half wildly homes. It's unusual for a cat to
<v Speaker 2>be out in this weather. Seems to be getting closer.
<v Speaker 4>Hangled the Latin of them.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, there it is in that treat left, good Lord.
<v Speaker 3>His eyes shine like fire. Maybe she's caught up that
<v Speaker 3>and can't get down here, pussy.
<v Speaker 5>What's the full of him looking into that cat?
<v Speaker 4>Why not?
<v Speaker 11>Because one scratch from her claws and you would decline
<v Speaker 11>and die of old age.
<v Speaker 4>You, Professor Riarty, you.
<v Speaker 11>Look surprised to see me. Doctor Watson. I heard you
<v Speaker 11>were expected at King's Pilon Homes, And when that stupid
<v Speaker 11>serving girl runs screaming out of my house this evening,
<v Speaker 11>I rather expected it wouldn't be long before you came
<v Speaker 11>over to Mapleton to pay your respects to the Princess
<v Speaker 11>hut Shepherd, Princess Hardchepnut. So that's who you have in
<v Speaker 11>your latest money case.
<v Speaker 4>Mariotte.
<v Speaker 11>Yes, in the most perfect state of preservation, but of absolutely.
<v Speaker 4>No use to me.
<v Speaker 11>Unfortunately, why not if she was still slender when she died,
<v Speaker 11>the artisans who in bound her didn't.
<v Speaker 9>Need to age the body to prepare it for burial.
<v Speaker 9>Age to body. Have you ever seen a fat mummy,
<v Speaker 9>doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 4>Come to finger it? Conseer I have.
<v Speaker 11>In ancient Egypt, it took upward of seventy days to
<v Speaker 11>prepare the body for mummy.
<v Speaker 4>Rare gums, resins and.
<v Speaker 11>Spices were used, and if the deceased was fat, a
<v Speaker 11>fluid was injected which aged and shrived the body after death.
<v Speaker 2>And it's your fary of Doc Mariotte, that that same
<v Speaker 2>fluid extracted from those mummies, would, if injected into human beings,
<v Speaker 2>produce premature old.
<v Speaker 4>Age and death.
<v Speaker 11>For so far, mister Holmes, I have only experimented with animals,
<v Speaker 11>but I believe the process has been sufficiently perfected so
<v Speaker 11>that I may now indulge in a few human experiments.
<v Speaker 11>How fortunate that you and doctor Watson should have decided
<v Speaker 11>to drop in this evening. Not so fast, doctor Watson,
<v Speaker 11>my servant act Bar has had you covered for some time.
<v Speaker 11>Is an expert shot. I promise you bluff, pure bluff
<v Speaker 11>of your soul. At Bar is rather dark. He doesn't
<v Speaker 11>show up very well at night. But to proof to
<v Speaker 11>you he is present, I shall have him destroy the
<v Speaker 11>cat up there what it.
<v Speaker 4>It's no trouble at all. We came out here for
<v Speaker 4>that purpose.
<v Speaker 11>Unfortunately, yesterday I spilled some of the liquid I'm experimenting
<v Speaker 11>with and the cat walked in it. It's no longer
<v Speaker 11>safe to have it at Lubich. You saw the results
<v Speaker 11>when she scratched Colonel Ross's horse last night.
<v Speaker 4>You see, I.
<v Speaker 11>Don't want to kill people. I should be satisfied just
<v Speaker 11>to make them senile. Don't excite yourself, doctor Watson at
<v Speaker 11>bar the cat.
<v Speaker 4>Such a geez. I was rather fond of the beasts.
<v Speaker 11>Now, gentlemen, if you will accompany me.
<v Speaker 1>When you're in your favorite clothing store these wedter days
<v Speaker 1>and hear someone say how do they do it? He's
<v Speaker 1>probably trying on a clipper Craft suit or overcoat. Because
<v Speaker 1>in this era of higher prices, it's really startling to
<v Speaker 1>see so much truly fine quality in clothes for such
<v Speaker 1>a modest amount. For Clippercraft suits are only forty and
<v Speaker 1>forty five dollars, Clippercraft top coats are only forty dollars,
<v Speaker 1>and sport jackets are only twenty six fifty. The fabrics
<v Speaker 1>are really long wearing, style and fit is super because
<v Speaker 1>Clippercraft clothes are expertly designed. Now you may ask how
<v Speaker 1>all this is possible. Well, the answer is ill manufacturing,
<v Speaker 1>genius and a plan. Famas Clippercraft Plan concentrates the buying
<v Speaker 1>power of two hundred thirty six of the nation's finest
<v Speaker 1>stores from coast to coast. Thus you get the amazing
<v Speaker 1>advantages of the group buying at your own local independent store,
<v Speaker 1>at the store you can trust. Selling expensive clothes at
<v Speaker 1>inexpensive prices at the nation's finest independent stores is the great,
<v Speaker 1>big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's why men who
<v Speaker 1>know insist on Clippercraft clothes. So be sure to visit
<v Speaker 1>the clipper Craft store in your city.

<v Speaker 1>And now to return to doctor Watson and Sherlock Halls,
<v Speaker 1>we find them in Moriarty's laboratory.
<v Speaker 11>Sorry, I'm forced to have bar tie your hands to
<v Speaker 11>the back of your chairs. Gentlemen at bar, if you
<v Speaker 11>will remove doctor Watson's revolver from his right hand pocket,
<v Speaker 11>that's it.
<v Speaker 9>No, no, no, you needn't take his satchel off his knees.
<v Speaker 9>I know how lost a doctor feels without his little
<v Speaker 9>black bag.
<v Speaker 4>Very generous of you, Mariarty, not at all.
<v Speaker 9>That will be all Akbar. You may leave the room
<v Speaker 9>and lock the door. And now for the lady hat
<v Speaker 9>sheep nat. She's in the mummy chase here. I thought
<v Speaker 9>you might enjoy the sight of a charming female while
<v Speaker 9>I give you.
<v Speaker 11>The injection that will deprive you of your youth and vigor.
<v Speaker 4>Now look sure you are Dodgerson.
<v Speaker 2>If by any chance, Professor Moriarty the mummy case in
<v Speaker 2>which the and says ha chepknot was in Tombe, I believe.
<v Speaker 14>So she was removed from the tombs of the Royal
<v Speaker 14>mummies at Dar el Pari by those famous grave robbers,
<v Speaker 14>the brothers Abda Rasoul, whose exploits finally led the British
<v Speaker 14>archeologist to the left bank of the Nile.
<v Speaker 4>Opposite Konnek.
<v Speaker 11>What's how clever of you, mister Holmes, to be so
<v Speaker 11>well informed on Egyptian mummies.
<v Speaker 4>Holmes, no living or didn't you know?
<v Speaker 2>A Watson on the other hand, well, no, mental mastodon
<v Speaker 2>has hidden possibilities that did you know, professor?
<v Speaker 4>He once played Rugby or Blackheath fascinating I am.
<v Speaker 2>I gather from the fact that the mummy case has
<v Speaker 2>the hands carved in relief, that it dates from the
<v Speaker 2>seventh theban dynastic.
<v Speaker 11>You are absolutely correct, mister Holmes. Weight I will raise
<v Speaker 11>the lid and permit you to see the lady herself.
<v Speaker 11>Good Lord, she looked as if she had died yesterday. Yes,
<v Speaker 11>doctor Watson, the mummies of Memphis are black, dry and brittle,
<v Speaker 11>but those of Thieves are yellowish, flexible and so how
<v Speaker 11>elastic that the flesh yields to the touch and the
<v Speaker 11>limbs may be moved so without breaking.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it Sis Remuel, I should have liked to be
<v Speaker 2>present when they discovered the tombor dadel behind.
<v Speaker 4>Imagine, Watson, there were thirty six mummies and twenty of
<v Speaker 4>them kings and queens.
<v Speaker 11>Suppose we dispense with any further lectures on antiquity, Mister Holmes,
<v Speaker 11>I think the substance I have here in this little
<v Speaker 11>glass file may prove even more fascinating.
<v Speaker 4>This is the liquid I've.
<v Speaker 11>Distilled from five previous mummies, the ones who have been
<v Speaker 11>shall we say, aged once all scratch with a pin
<v Speaker 11>dipped in this fluid shulede. If my calculations are correct,
<v Speaker 11>turn you both into old men. What would be the
<v Speaker 11>object of that?
<v Speaker 4>He asked?
<v Speaker 11>The first place, it would render you no longer able
<v Speaker 11>to interrupt my activities.
<v Speaker 4>And in the second place, if my experiment is successful,
<v Speaker 4>I flatter myself. I can change the course of history. Interesting.
<v Speaker 4>Think what would happen if I were to make.
<v Speaker 9>Certain mansenile the Kaiser, for instance, and that new American
<v Speaker 9>president Roosevelt, mister Theodore Roosevelt. And as a man over
<v Speaker 9>in France, Monsieur Cromon Saux, and the young man right
<v Speaker 9>here in England his name is Winston Churchill.
<v Speaker 11>I think history might be quite different if he suddenly
<v Speaker 11>became old and feeble minded. Let me see my tie
<v Speaker 11>pin should do very nicely.
<v Speaker 4>There's a very interesting hypothesis, Professor Moriarty.
<v Speaker 2>But that file is so small. I is that all
<v Speaker 2>the fluid you have, which would suffice mister Holmes. I
<v Speaker 2>should prick only the key man now, then I'll dip
<v Speaker 2>in the pin so.
<v Speaker 4>And Confindo, you've broken a fire and a bravo, Watson,
<v Speaker 4>a perfectly plaised dropkick.
<v Speaker 2>I wondered a bit of the court you to use
<v Speaker 2>your little back bag for a football.
<v Speaker 4>Well it was an arrow squeak, doctor Watson, it was indeed,
<v Speaker 4>mister Harrison. But even then you were still tired of
<v Speaker 4>those chairs. Just how did you and Sherlock Holmes get
<v Speaker 4>away from the professor? Oh?
<v Speaker 3>At that point, mister Harris, Colonel ross And and ned
<v Speaker 3>Hunter broke in and rescued us. We left the Mother
<v Speaker 3>Moore with instructions to come in and get us if
<v Speaker 3>we didn't return in half an hour. Why did you
<v Speaker 3>think Hose became so chatty about Egyptian history?
<v Speaker 4>You don't mean he was stalling. What do you think,
<v Speaker 4>mister Harris? What do you think? Well?
<v Speaker 1>What could I think? Doctor hellw Doctor Watson? How about
<v Speaker 1>giving us a hit about next week's story?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, next week, I think I should tell in the
<v Speaker 3>Case of the Lucky Shilly. In it, Holmes prevented the
<v Speaker 3>death of a certain reckless nobleman and acquired the money
<v Speaker 3>to pay for a much needed operation. It was done
<v Speaker 3>with the not too honest racetrack device, which Hose called
<v Speaker 3>the Trick of the Lucky Shitty.

<v Speaker 1>six leading stores from coast to coast have brought you
