Our Hospitality

1 
The Prologue.

2
Once upon a time in certain
  sections of the United
States there were feuds that
ran from generation to
      generation.

3
Men of one family grew up
  killing men of another
family for no other reason
except that their fathers had 
        done so.

4
Our story concerns the
 old-time feud between
the Canfield and McKay
families as it existed about
     the year 1810.

5
  The humble home of John
  McKay - the last of his
line - except his infant son.

6
"I just heard that Jim Canfield
is in town - I'm afraid that
       means trouble."

7
The home of Joseph Canfield
- whose fiery brother is
      visiting him.

8
"Jim -- I've been trying to
forget this feud - why can't
      you do the same?"

9
"No! -- I came a long way 
to kill him - and I'm going
    to do it tonight!"

10
"Now the feud must go 
on and on.  My two
sons must be taught
to avenge this deed!"

11
Mother-love impels her to
take the baby to her
sister's home in New York,
where he may grow up in
ignorance of the feud.

      THE STORY
        ____

New York City - twenty
     years later.

13
Here young McKay was 
raised by his aunt
- after his mother had 
passed away.

   NOTE - Broadway and Forty-
   Second Street as it was in
   1830. From an old print.

The Aunt.

Willie McKay.

16
"This is gettin' to be a
  dangerous crossin'."

17
"Before you go - there
is something I must
     tell you."

18
AND SO SHE TOLD 
HIM THE STORY OF 
   THE FEUD.

19
The out-bound limited.

20
"Be careful of the Indians
when you get out West
   near Trenton."

21
"Keep your promise to 
me and don't go near 
   the Canfields."

Onward sped the iron
monster toward the
Blue Ridge Mountains.

24
"Now we're running
    smoothly."

25
The present home of
Joseph Canfield and
   his two sons.

26
"Your little sister will
   arrive on the next
         train."

27
"We must have run over 
the engine going down
        hill."

28
"Can you direct me to 
 the McKay estate?"

29
"Why are you looking
for the McKay estate?"

30
"It belonged to my 
father, and I've come 
   to claim it."

31
"Who was your
   father?"

32
"John McKay."

33
"Have you a pistol
      handy?"

34
"The son of John McKay 
     is in town!"

35
  "Would you all come
over to supper tonight?"

36
"Daddy! - there was a young 
man on the train who was
so nice to me that I took
the liberty of inviting him
       to supper."

37
"Splendid! He'll never
forget our hospitality."

38
"Why -- this is the 
   McKay estate."

39
"It's a shame to blow up
this dam, but we must 
      irrigate."

40
"We'll hunt for him 
again after supper."

41
"Wait, boys! Our code
of honor prevents us
from shooting him
while he's a guest
 - in our house."

42
The weekly visit of the
   kindly old parson.

43
"Father won't let us kill
him in the house - but
wait 'till he gets outside."

44
"Whose house is 
     this?"

45
"Canfield's."

46
"Well, my boy, you must
come and see us again
      sometime."

47
"It would be the death
of any one to go outside 
       tonight."

48
By the next day young
McKay had decided to
become a permanent guest.

49
"He shouldn't play with
   a loaded pistol."

50
"Do you know who
  that boy is?"

51
"He is the son of 
   John McKay!"

52
"You surely don't intend 
     to kill him?"

53
"Lend me your rope - I want
to swing a man over where
I can get a better shot
        at him."

54
Darkness put an end 
to a fruitless search.

55
"Have the horses ready 
    at daybreak."

56
"Won't you kiss the 
      bride?"
