Alias Whispering White

In a dusty mining camp where timbering jokes trade as often as ore, the narrator and his sidekick Magpie welcome a sharp‑tongued mining engineer named Franklyn Burt. Burt’s easy grin hides a knack for spotting mineral veins and a restless curiosity about the town’s newest gossip. When a ragged letter arrives announcing a suitor for Marion White—her uncle “Whispering” White’s late fortune now hangs in the balance—the crew’s routine chores turn into whispered conspiracies.

The story follows the three men as they untangle family obligations, a looming dukedom, and rumors that Whispering White never really left the trail. Their banter‑filled meetings expose a clash between frontier practicality and aristocratic pretension, while a hidden theft and a mistaken death promise a deeper mystery. Listeners will be drawn into a western comedy of errors that balances rugged camaraderie with the intrigue of a hidden legacy.
