[Trinity]

Trinity looks down.

"Oh!  Done fergot ta butten tha hatch." 

[Delmonico]

Delmonico rides in from town, puts Reuben in the barn and heads to the house.

[Delmonico]

Once in the house Delmonico gets his shotgun and does a search to make sure no Kansas Jayhawkers or Missouri Bushwhacker's have taken up residence while he was gone.

[Trinity]

Trinity calls from the porch into the kitchen, "Dail, they's some friendly injuns hair wanna tawlk ta you.  Sumpin' 'bout a crazy man botherin' 'em?"

[Delmonico]

Tell em to scalp him.   Better ask his wife if it's OK first though.

[Silver Creek Slim]

At the mention of Jayhawkers and Bushwackers, Slim loads both of his "Mighty Tens". 

[Delmonico]

At the mention of Jayhawkers and Bushwackers, Slim loads both of his "Mighty Tens". 

Delmonico takes off his hat and says, "Now I don't mean any bad about any honorable soldier of either side of the late war."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out on the porch and sits in the rocker with a cup of coffee.  "I think we are safe from the Bushwacker's and Jayhawks, durn that was close.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Seeing someone setting a large fire behind the barn Irish levels his Sharps 45/70 and puts a rather large hole through the firebug's head.  As Del, Slim, Trinity, and O.T. look up at the tretort of the big rifle Irish hollers from the window of the house, "Big fire behind the barn, I kilt whoever was setting it, now let's go put out the fire.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico looks at the body, sees what it is and hires a wagon to take it to Brownsville to send downriver as Newbrassky always thought proper of the type.     "To bad it ain't winter, the prefered method in that time these scum were a problem was to do it under the ice. "  We never had any use for border trash from either Kansas or Misery."

"They served no useful purpose."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico wonders why folks who few like keep tryin' to make more folks like them even less by being a horse's arse all the time.  He figgers it's cause they have no manners.   He also wonders why since they started him his own thread why he don't stay there, except no one comes down to add to it cause that same horse's arse has no friends.   But everyone knows that same person ain't smart enough to figger out he is not liked because of things he has done in the past.

[Trinity]

Suddenly, fifty federal revenuers enter the yard of the ranch.  Trinity silently disappears.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico sees them come in the yard and knowing Trinity went to the south, he points them off to that strange land of Alkali lakes to the north.

[Delmonico]

Out in the Alkali Lake region, the revanoorers run into an old friend of Trinity's.

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney Pete comes riding onto the ranch.  He pulls a jug and small package from his saddle bag.  He climbs up into the cupola and removes a cupcake from the package.  Placing a candle in the center he lights it.  After a long pull on the jug he says Happy Birthday FFG.  We have not forgotten you.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish sees Stoney head for the cupola and knows what day it is.  He raises a glass in memory of FFG!

[Trinity]

On the porch, Trinity silently sips from his mug, drinking toasts to the FFG.

Remembering how much Stoney Pete likes bacon, he gets up and fries some up for the fellows.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico saddles Reuben and heads west with out a word.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim takes the "Mighty Tens" to the dooryard and gives the FFG a two gun salute.
