<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glad we finally sorted that one out.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chief talks in that old-fashioned stilted pidgin English that most of those guys the cowboys used to shoot all the time spoke in Hollywood Westerns movies for many years ie. \u201cMen no steal horse. Me. My people. Your friend. We fight.\u201d He even says \u201cHow\u201d in greeting. It\u2019s that enlightened.

Once the horse rustlers have been overpowered JW chases after Dickson and just smacks him a couple of times in the mouth. I guess Duke must have been having an off day.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some reason JW doesn\u2019t get his old job back at the Lazy M. In fact, he wanders off for two months after which Bess, with the help of her new foreman and Chief Black Eagle, finds JW alone in his cabin in the woods.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She enters the cabin, JW turns and calls out her name, then the scene fades to the foreman and the Chief waiting outside. There then follows this exchange:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Foreman] \u201cShe\u2019s been in thair two hours a\u2019ready\u201d
[Chief] \u201cMaybe she go live there\u201d
[Foreman] \u201cYeah. Women sure are queer critters\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the words of John Wayne himself, that foreman has to be \u201ca whole other kind of stupid\u201d not to figure out what Bess and her beau were getting up to for two hours. In cowboy terms I believe it\u2019s known as \u201cpirooting\u201d, but then I\u2019m guessing most of you knew that already.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was quite surprised by how entertaining this Lone Star entry was. One to check out if you get the time \u2013 but no peeking inside the cabin.
