[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Then you'll hear people say he's feeling his Cheerios.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

John Sinclair held his four year old son Davey tight in his arms as he and his wife Anne struggled through the storm toward the buildings of the stagecoach station. The buildings were dark. The stage line was never operated during the winter months. And when the rest cabin was reached the and Anne held her lantern high in front of the door they found it padlocked. They fought their way to the stable and Ann breathed a sigh of relief when she saw there was no lock on the door.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Thank heaven.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

With only one arm free it took all of John's strength to wrench open the door. Quick, Anne, inside.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Oh, this is the answer to a prayer.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

There's a storm and firewood and straw in the stalls. I'll make a bed for Davey beside the stove.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

I suppose we should have stayed at.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Home, simply done nothing. No, we had to try and get Davey to a dock. We'd have made it if it hadn't been for the storm. What a Christmas Eve. Snowbound in a stable and with no way to reach a doctor.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Oh, darling, if there were only something we could do for him.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

John, I'm sure it's appendicitis. He needs a doctor. I'll start the fire. It should warm up in a minute. I'll get some straw. A fire was lighted in the stove. A bed of straw was made for the little boy and John laid him gently on it. How's that, Davey?

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

It's soft.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Are you feeling any better, son?

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

That's good, Davy. Try to sleep, darling. All right, Mommy.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Wait, listen. Someone's calling.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

See who it is.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

John. Here's the lander all right. A man?

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Anyone we know?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

No, he's a rough looking customer. Howdy, Parker. Mind if I come in? No, no, not at all. There's a stove we Have a fire going. You're lucky you have snowshoes. I never have made it through the pass without them. So you've come from Mountain City. Never mind where I'm from. Hey, there's a woman here. Oh, my wife. And that's my little boy. I'm John Sinclair. I'm working a claim on Rocky Creek. I'm interested in mining myself. The name is Smith.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

How do you do, Mr. Smith?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Howdy, man.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

It's a terrible night, isn't it?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

We're always sure of having a white Christmas in the mountains. White, even if it isn't very merry. Well, at least we have shelter. Wait. Who's that? I have no idea. Another traveler, perhaps. Stand aside from the door. Why are you drawing your gun? No telling who it might be. The door isn't locked. Come in.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

I can't.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

I have a man with me who's nearly done for. I'm holding him up. All right. Open the door, Sinclair. As John opened the door, two men staggered into the barn and John pulled the door shut behind them. One of the men was completely exhausted and would have dropped to the floor if the other hadn't lifted him bodily and carried him to the stove. Do you mind if I put him down here, ma'? Am?

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

No. Is he hurt?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Not that I know of, but we'll have a look. I found him out in front of the station, lying face down in the trail. What is this place? What's it look like to you? It's a stable. Here. I'll get these snowshoes off here. No, no, I must keep going. Now, there's a brave idea. You take two steps outside and fall on your face again. Did I do that? You did. Hey. Now I'll take my own off. Who are these people? Since we've just arrived, I'm in no position to make introductions. Hi. I'm John Sinclair, a minor. This is my wife, and the little boy's my son. My name is Smith. Is it now? And yours? My buckle. You who'd like to fight the storm again. My name is Jones. What's yours? Irish. We'll say it's Green. Since I'm only competing with the Smith and the Jones, there's no reason why I should tax my imagination. What do you mean by that? Just that my name isn't Green, his name isn't Jones, and his name isn't smith. Now that Mr. Smith realizes he's among friends, he can put up his gun.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

I don't understand.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

I'm afraid I do. These men are not what you Three wise men who've come to pay you a visit on Christmas Eve.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Wise men?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Three wise men, ma', am, who were a little too wise for their own good. How do you figure you're so wise? Dream. A man was murdered in Mountain City tonight, and the sheriff's rounding up everyone who might have committed the crime for anyone who might be suspected. It was a wise thing to get out of town. And from your faces, I can see that what's true for me is true for you. And so I say again where three wise men met together in a stable on Christmas Eve. There's irony in that man who was killed. A crook, a cheat or a scoundrel. His name was Luke Devlin. It was he or one of his hired gunmen who killed my best friend, Tim Moriarty. And I took a great oath in public that nothing would stop me from even in that score. Devlin was my partner once. He did his best to break me. I swore that I'd get even to him. He cheated my father out of a fortune. My father committed suicide. It was Devlin who killed him.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Then each of you hated this man, this Devlin.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

It seems we each had a good reason, ma'. Am.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

But you didn't. Somehow I know none of you killed him.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Oh, that's because such a sweet lady as you would find it hard to think ill of any man. What's the matter with the boy.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Davey, darling?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

We think it's appendicitis. Do you mind if I take a look at him? Oh, no. No, indeed. I'll not hurt you, Davey. I just want to see. I think you're right, Sinclair. My guess is that he should be operated on at once. We were trying to get him to Martin City. No chance of that tonight. I've heard that the best temporary treatment is a cold compress. Well, now, this bandana of mine could be wet with snow. It may help a little. No sooner said than done. Hey, I see a couple of lanterns near the rest cabin. Two men. Will you look now? A masked man and an Indian. They must be out lo. Their guns are slung low. They must be killers. I'd better shoot first and ask questions afterwards. If you shoot at all, you'd better shoot straight. I mean to. I have a bead on the masked man. We'll continue our Lone Ranger adventure in just a moment.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Hunter Harry is a boy of fire. He brings wild animals back alive. He can capture lions cause he knows he's got Go power from Cheerios. Yes, he's got Go power. There he goes. He's feeling his Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios, you bet.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Then you'll hear people say he's feeling his Cheerios.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Now to continue. As the masked man and the Indian advanced toward the stable, the man who called himself Smith took careful aim but before he could pull the trigger and threw himself in front of him barring the door.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

No, I'll not let you shoot anyone like that.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

All right, ma', am, stand aside. I'll not shoot until I'm sure, but I'll keep him covered. Hello there. Come in. Drop the blanket roll beside the door tunnel. Come in with your hands up. It was the Lone Ranger and Tottle who entered the stable. In spite of Smith's command, their hands remained at their sides. Tom and I are not lost.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Mommy, why is he pointing the front of the masked man? Hush, Davy. Don't let him hurt the masked man. Mommy, he's a Lone Ranger.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

No, darling.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

I wish he would. He is. He called the Indian. Mister, do you really have silver bullets in your gun?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Excuse me, gentlemen. Yes, Davy, I do. Would you like to see them?

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Yes, sir.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

All right. Here you are. What? They are Silver. Tis the Lone Ranger.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Is your horse outside?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

No. Tonto and I had to leave Silver and Scalp Mountain City. The snow and the path are too deep for any horse.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Oh, I was hoping you'd ride to the North Pole and Tell Santa Claus where I am.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

I'm sure Santa Claus will find you.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Will he? May I touch one of those bullets?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Why, of course. This one is for you.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Thank you. That's a good boy, Davy. You go back to sleep.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

What's the matter with him? Appendicitis. He should be operated on at once. We were trying to get him to Martin City. I see. I'm sorry about drawing a gun on you, mister. Well, that's all right. What's your name? Smith. And yours? Jones. And yours? Green. Did you all come to the pass tonight? Your faces are answer enough. We did, but there's no need to disturb the boy with our business. Follow me. You. You have business with us, mister? With one of you. How did the sheriff describe the man we're after? Toto? Him 6ft tall, weigh 180. Him not shaved, have dark beard. What was he wearing? Heavy boots. Mackinaw. The description fits all three of us. Now, may I ask what this man you're looking for is done that he should be wanted by the law? The man I'm looking for knows what he's done and I expect him to identify himself. Oh, do you? You seem very confident. I am. Because the man I'm looking for can save that boy's life.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Mommy, has the Lone Ranger bore. No, Davy. It wouldn't hurt so much if he held my hand.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Why, of course, Davey. I'm right here. I'll be glad to hold your hand. He said one of us can save Davey's life. It would take an operation in Mountain City. In Mountain City? An operation Tonight. And the one who can make that possible is the man the Lone Ring is looking for. The man who admits he can save Davey's life is the man who will be accused of murder. The three men separated and stood watching the Lone Ranger. Davy moaned softly, still holding the masked man's hand. And the Lone Ranger talked in quiet tones with the boy's father and mother. Finally, the man who called himself Smith approached the group around the stove. Mister, the only thing that can save Davey is an operation, isn't it? That's right. An operation costs money and Sinclair probably can't afford it. All right, I'm the man who can. You get the board to Mountain City and I'll pay for the operation. I have funny on deposit at the Mountain City bank under the name of Smith. You don't have to be told who I am. I'm Nick Blaine, Devlin's ex partner. Are you? I suppose people heard us arguing at the hotel room tonight. But when I hit him. I swear. I didn't mean to kill him. You didn't, Nick. And you're not the man I'm looking for. What? People heard you quarreling with Devlin, but he was shot an hour after you left. Honest, it isn't money that can save the boy. It'd be impossible for either you or me to get Davy safely to Mountain City tonight. I heard that the man who called himself Green stepped forward. I heard what you said and I'm the man you're looking for. Not if your name is Green. No, it isn't. It's Mike Trelawney, as you well know. I used to be one of Fremont's scouts in the Sierras. And I'm a man who can beat any blizzard. I can make it through the pass without any trouble at all, even carrying the boy in my arms. Mike, what I meant by saying that no one could get Davy safely to Mountain City tonight was that he couldn't stand the trip. You aren't the man who can save his life. Does that mean you're not accusing me of Devlin's murder? It does. Devlin told the sheriff who shot him and the sheriff told Totto. Well, since Nick and Mike have been cleared, that leaves only me. It was my name Devlin spoke. It wasn't Jones. No. You Dr. Henry Warren? Yes. Toto and I killed Devlin. I went to his room and leveled a gun at his heart. I told him who I was and why I meant to kill him. That he'd driven my father to suicide. But I couldn't pull the trigger. Devlin took the gun away from me. Then how did it happen? How was he shot? It was afterward, when he was pointing the gun at me and laughing. He said he was going to get rid of me and claim self defense. I jumped at him. It was then that it happened. Trying to fight me off. The gun was turned toward him and went off. You're claiming self defense? It would be hard to prove, wouldn't it? That doesn't matter. I'm willing to face the music. You're wrong, though, in thinking I can save Davey's life simply because I'm a doctor. How can I operate without instruments, without antiseptic or drugs? You brought nothing with you? Yes. I packed everything in my blanket roll. But it got too heavy for me and I discarded it. Me get blanket roll. You can't. I dropped it in the past. You wait. You see? You can't possibly find it now. We found it on our way through the path and brought it with us. Apollo dropped it just outside the door. Here, blanket roll. This yours? Yes. Will you operate, Doctor? Let me make sure everything's here. Instruments, anesthetic, antiseptic. Yes, everything. Will you operate at once, sir? I'll need help from all of you. First, boiling water to sterilize my instruments, then seal. The doctor worked swiftly and within an hour the operation had been performed. Warren gave John and Anne his happy assurance the point boy would be all right. They smiled down at their son still sleeping under the anesthetic. And it was some time before they realized the Lone Ranger had slipped out of the stable.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Where's he going?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Todo him go see friend not far from here. Friend who keep sheep ranch.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Has the storm lit up any?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Ah, it over now. Lone Ranger get food. Maybe something else. He'll get back by morning. Christmas Day. Dawn bright and clear. The Lone Ranger returned with a sack of provisions and a small blanket wrapped bundle that he guarded carefully. But hardly had he entered the stable than the door swung open again. Sheriff Mack. Merry Christmas, sir. The same to you. Oh, I see you found your man. Yes, Sheriff. I'm ready to give myself up. I have good news for you, Doctor. Really the best, I'd say. Luke Devlin will pull through. I'm glad. Not only that, but he must have been touched by the Christmas spirit. When he thought that he was going to die, he told us just how the shooting took place. You're a free man, Doctor.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Oh, that is good news. Davey's awake. Yes, darling, Mommy's here. Is it Christmas yet? Yes, and you're all well. Isn't that wonderful? Did Santa come, Davy? He must have left your presence at home. Didn't he bring anything here? The Lone Ranger promised me.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Well, here's something that might have been left for you. Davy.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Look.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

From a blanket in his arm, the Lone Ranger lifted a little puppy, pure white, with saucy black eyes and a black nose. The masked man placed it beside the boy. This young fellow is looking for a master. The puppy adopted Davy at once. He licked his hand with his tiny pink tongue and then snuggled close.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

Oh, mister, is he really mine?

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Of course, Davey.

[Narrator/Child (Davy)]

He's so soft and white. I love you, puppy. You're the best Christmas present I ever had.

[Narrator/Storyteller]

Did you hear that, sir? Yes. Mrs. Sinclair told me that last night when you and Nick and the doctor came here to the stable and found the boy, you were reminded of the old, old story of the birth of the Christ child. When you were asked who you were, you said you were the three wise men. Well, in a way, you've acted just like those other wise men. They brought gifts to the babe in the manger. Gold and frankincense and myrrh. Last night Nick offered gold to Davy Mike, his strength adopted his skill offered them when the offering might have cost a great deal. And yet in the end, it's what this little puppy has to give that means the most to Davy. This little one is proving again what was proved 2,000 years ago. There can be no greater gift than love. Merry Christmas everyone. Sa.
