Hicks  is  actively  describing  man's  fidelity  to
his  friend,  through  combat  and  privation,
stops  with  a  long  sigh,  saying:

SUB-TITLE:  "BUT  FIGHTIN'  FOR  A  FRIEND  is  ONE  THING,  AND
MAKIN'  LOVE  FOR  HIM  IB  ANOTHER.  IT  AIN'T  TO
BE  DONE.  THE  SMILES  OF  WOMAN  DRAWS  AND

DISMEMBERS  THE  CARCASE  OF  FRIENDSHIP."

SCENE  29          EXTERIOR.  Same  as  20.  Fairly  close  up  to  the
men.
The  men  are  agreeing  to  differ,  to  make  each
his  honest  open  fight  for  the  Widow,  their
friendship  is  restored  but  on  a  new  basis.  They
talk  and  nod  agreement.  Hicks  is  the  leader,
he  makes  the  proposition  to  "let  the  best  man
of  us  have  her.  I'll  play  you  the  square  game,
etc."

Fish  agrees  almost  tearfully.  They  rise  and
shake  hands  formally  but  heartily  over  agree-
ment, they  start  up  the  track  and  disappear
around  a  freight  car.
