Boy's Cinema (1939-40)

20 • Now stalled a des)ienitc fight for the I'C- volvev. Fiist one, thou the other, triod to fjntb it iinti) Biuii.s. seeing the impossibihty of jjelting ft liimself. sent it diitterinp into a .<')iner vith a well-aimed kick. But by now, the detoctivo, no match in weight for a stocky jtianual worker like Dave, was rapidly weaken- ing. Soon, sitting ajlrido tJie prostrate Burns, Dave, with a couple of well-placed blows, knocked tno unfortunate man corii- jJotely out. Stopping only to retrieve his camera, ho picked up the i)iping and renewed his desperate attack on the ivindow. Having smashed the glass and removed the jagged sharp edges, Dave iJung his leg over and prepared to jump. With a sob of rejief he saw the car and the three .spies waiting for him—n quick get-away! Swiftly ho was to be disillusioned. A gun appeared as if by magic in Walter's hand as lie covered the astonished Dave. "Come on, liand over that camera and bo quick about ill"' he rasped. -- 'iWliat is this?" ^Msped Dave. "Wait a minuto! You've got to get me out of this j>!aro." ' • • Walter looked over his -ihoidder as ho climbed into the cai whcie llie little jAoto- grapher had in bis turn covered Davo ^\illl 'another gun. 'vYou stas" where you are!" he grinned evilly. "Yon car; all stay wlieic you are!" came C'armjchacrs harsh voice. Like a snake. Waller juiujied back on the BOY'S CINEMA pavement and sent a sl-.ot crashing in the direction of Carmichael's voict;. A perfect fusillade answered him from behind the parked cars. With a muffled (hoke, Ihe apy teetered on his heels and then fell tlat on hia face and hiy still. With the death of Walter, all the fire went from Executive E and Operator 15. Frozen into immobilitj- they remained in the car as the detectives, guns ready, advanced on them. Dave, utterly bewildered by the rapidity of events, watched the slow, remorseless approach of the law with jaws agape. Swiftly the spies were disarmed and hand- cuffed, then Caimichael turned to Dave. "You, too. Miller." E\eiyonc agreed that Dave ^Miller ought to have known better when he was at last brought to trial. And in his hearty Dave agreed, too. He could say nothing in his defence. When he.was asked if he had anything to say, his muttered "I onl.y look a few snai)gliots. If I hadn't dope it. somebody else wouUI have done. You can't make a spy out of ine for tli,at " deceived no one—not even himself. • He had put sordid gain above his duly to liis ci>uutry, he had jeopardised the future security of his fellow-countr^lnell. and he had realised, in the bitterness of defeat, that criuie does not pay.
