Chapter 2, the body master. 4 00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:18,100 McMurdo was a man who made his Mark quickly wherever he was the 5 00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:21,300 folk around soon. Knew it within a week he had 6 00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:23,900 become infinitely. The most important person that 7 00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,500 shaft has There Were Ten or a dozen borders there. 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,200 But they were honest for men, or commonplace Clark's from the 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,900 stores are very different caliber from The Young Irishman 10 00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:38,200 oven evening. When they gather together, his 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,600 joke was always the readiest, his conversation, the brightest, 12 00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:46,500 and his song, The Best He was a born Boon, companion with a 13 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,600 magnetism, which Drew Good Humor from all around him. 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,600 And yet he showed again, and again, as he had shown in the 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,400 railway Carriage, a capacity for sudden Fierce anger, which 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,700 compelled the respect, and even the fear of those who met him 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,400 for the law to and all who were connected with it, he exhibited 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,800 a bitter contempt, which delighted some and alarmed 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,400 others of his fellow boarders. From the first, he made it 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000 evident by his open admiration that the daughter of the house 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,400 had won his heart from the instant, that he had set Eyes 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Upon her beauty and her grace, he was no backward. 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,500 Souter on the second day, he told her that he loved her. 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,100 I'm from then onward. He repeated the same story with 25 00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:32,700 an absolute disregard of what she might say. 26 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,000 To discourage him, someone else he would cry. 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,400 Well, the worst luck for someone else. 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Let him look out for himself, am I? 29 00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,200 To lose my life's chance and all my heart's desire for someone 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,700 else. You can keep on saying, no 31 00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,900 Betty. The day will come. 32 00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,900 When you'll say yes, and I'm young enough to wait. 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200 He was a dangerous. Souter with his glib, Irish 34 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600 tongue and his pretty coaxing ways. 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,000 There was about him also that glamour of experience and of 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,199 mystery, which attracts a woman's interest and finally her 37 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,800 love. He could talk of the sweet 38 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400 valleys of County. And from which he came of the 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600 lovely distant Island, the low Hills and Green Meadows of which 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,400 seem to more beautiful. When imagination viewed them 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,100 from this place of grime and snow, then he was versed in the 42 00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:29,400 life of the cities of the north of Detroit and of the lumber 43 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,200 camps of Michigan. And finally of Chicago where he 44 00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:37,300 had worked in a Planing Mill and afterwards came the hint of 45 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:40,500 Romance, the feeling that strange things that happened to 46 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:44,800 him in that great City. So strange and so intimate that 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,800 they might not be spoken of. He spoke wistfully of a sudden 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,800 leaving a Breaking of old ties, a flight into a strange world 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,600 ending in this dreary Valley and etty listened. 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,100 Her dark eyes gleaming with pity. 51 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,000 And with sympathy those two qualities, which may turn so 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,400 rapidly. And so naturally to love, 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,100 McMurdo had obtained. A temporary job, as bookkeeper 54 00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:15,600 for, he was a well-educated man. This kept him out most of the 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400 day and he had not found occasion yet to report himself 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,400 to the head of the lodge of the eminent order of freemen. 57 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,900 He was reminded of his a mission. 58 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:29,300 However Maya visit one evening from Mike Scanlon the fellow 59 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:33,700 member whom he had met in the train Scanlon, the small sharp 60 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:38,100 faced nervous black. Eyed man seemed glad to see Once 61 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:42,600 more after a glass or two of whiskey, he broached the subject 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,600 of his visit. Say McMurdo said he I remembered 63 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 your address so I made bold to call. 64 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:53,100 I'm surprised that you've not reported to the body. 65 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,400 Master, why haven't you seen boss McGinty yet? 66 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,300 Well, I had to find a job. I've been busy, you must find 67 00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:04,500 time for him. If you've known for anything 68 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,100 else.

They chance that on the same 89 00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:28,000 evening, McMurdo had another more pressing interview, which 90 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,500 urged him in the same direction. It may have been that his 91 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,600 attentions to Etihad been more evident than before or that they 92 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,500 had gradually obtruded themselves into the slow mind of 93 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:43,100 his good German host. But whatever the cause the 94 00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:46,300 boarding house keeper, beckoned the young man into his private 95 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:50,600 room and started on the subject without any circumlocution. 96 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,400 It seems to me, mr. Said, he lets you are getting 97 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,600 set on my etty ends at so, or am I wrong? 98 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,500 Yes, that is. So the young man answered. 99 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:07,500 Well, I have on to tell you right now, is that it ain't no 100 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:11,400 manner of use.

You need not to be ashamed to be 108 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,200 frightened of him.

The boarding house keeper, 113 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,400 instinctively sank his voice, as everyone did, who talked about 114 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:11,600 that terrible society, as a scholar has said, he has the 115 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600 eminent order of freemen the young man. 116 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:22,500 Stared, why I'm a member of that oil myself, you, I would never 117 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:26,100 have had you in my house if I'd known it, not if you were to pay 118 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,000 me $100 a week.

Is there a man or a woman in 128 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,400 this Valley?

I was helping Uncle Sam to make 435 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,700 dollars. Maybe mine were not as good gold 436 00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:02,900 as his but they looked as well and were cheaper to make this 437 00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:06,400 man, Pinto help me to shove the queer to do, what? 438 00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:10,100 Well, it means to pass the dollars out into circulation. 439 00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:14,800 Then he said he would split, maybe he did split, I didn't 440 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,200 Wait to see, I just killed him and light it out for the call 441 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,500 Country.

I guess my shot would have been 465 00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:52,100 as quick as yours. By gar McGinty flushed and angry 466 00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:54,300 red. And then burst into a roar of 467 00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:59,700 laughter say, we've had no such holy Terror. 468 00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,700 Come to hand. This many a year. 469 00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,700 I reckon the lodge will learn to be proud of you. 470 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,200 Well, what the hell do you want? And can't, I speak alone with a 471 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,600 gentleman for five minutes but you must but in on us, The 472 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,700 bartender stood abashed. I'm sorry, counselor, but it's 473 00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:20,000 Ted Baldwin. He says, he must see you this 474 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,100 very minute. The message was unnecessary for 475 00:30:24,100 --> 00:30:27,300 the set cruel face of the man himself, was looking over the 476 00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:31,800 servant shoulder, he pushed a bartender out and close the door 477 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,300 on him.

You got a, A first, did you have 479 00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,000 a word to say to your counselor about this man? 480 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,400 Then say it here? And now before my face cried 481 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:53,100 McMurdo, I'll say it at my own time, in my own way, Tut Tut 482 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,600 said McGinty getting off his Barrel. 483 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,500 This will never do. We have a new brother here 484 00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:02,800 Baldwin, and it's not for us to greet him in such fashion. 485 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:09,300 Hold out your hand man and make it up, never cried Baldwin in a 486 00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:11,900 fury. I've offered to fight him. 487 00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:15,400 If he thinks, I've wronged him said McMurdo, I'll fight him 488 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,600 with fists or that won't satisfy. 489 00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:20,200 I am I'll fight him any other way, he chooses. 490 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,000 Now, I'll leave it to you.

She's free to choose for 493 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:36,700 herself, is she cried Baldwin as between two brothers of the 494 00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:38,400 lodge? I should say that. 495 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,700 She was said the boss. Oh, that's your ruling, is it? 496 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,800 Yes, it is. Ted Baldwin said McGinty, With a 497 00:31:47,808 --> 00:31:52,500 wicked stare is it you that would dispute it, you would 498 00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:56,200 throw over one that has stood by this five years in favor of a 499 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,300 man that you never saw before in your life you are not body 500 00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:03,900 masterful life, Jack McGinty. And by God when next it comes to 501 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:08,400 a vote, the counselor sprang at him like a tiger, his hand 502 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,600 closed round the others neck and he hurled him back across, one 503 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,900 of the barrels. In his mad Fury, he would have 504 00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,500 squeezed the life out of him, if McMurdo would not interfere. 505 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,900 Feared easy, counselor For Heaven's Sake, go easy. 506 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:27,000 He cried as he dragged him back. Begin to released his hold and 507 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,900 Baldwin cowed and shaken gasping for breath and shivering. 508 00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:33,800 In every limb, as one who has looked over the very edge of 509 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,300 death, sat up on the barrel over, which he had been hurled, 510 00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:42,000 You've been asking for this many a day, Ted Baldwin. 511 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:47,200 Now you have got it, cried McGinty, his huge chest, rising 512 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,400 and falling. Maybe a think. 513 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,300 If I was voted down from bodymaster, you'd find yourself 514 00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:57,300 in my shoes. It's for the lodge to say that, 515 00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:02,000 but so long as I'm the chief, I'll have no man lifts his voice 516 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,700 against me or my rulings. I have nothing against you 517 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,900 mumbled Baldwin feeling his throat. 518 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800 Well, then cried the other relapsing in a moment into a 519 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,600 bluff. Joviality, we're all good 520 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,600 friends again, and there's an end of the matter. 521 00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:23,200 He took a bottle of champagne down from the shelf and twisted 522 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,300 out the cork. See now, he continued as he 523 00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:31,300 filled three High glasses. Let us drink the quarreling 524 00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:36,900 toast of the lodge after that, as, you know, there can be no 525 00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:41,600 bad blood between us now, then the left hand on the apple of my 526 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,600 throat. I say to you, Ted Baldwin. 527 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,600 What is the offense sir?
