Boy's Cinema (1933)

23 "I got away once, didn't I? All I care about is what happens to you. And I'd feel great, Johnny, no matter where I am, if I'd know that you'd be taking care of ma, the way she wants—and Mary Ellen, too." "Sure, I'll do that," whispered Johnny. "You know me, Duke." "Is that a promise, kid?" "You bet.' Duke nodded slowly and stroked his brother's hand. "Then you'll do whatever Whitehouse tells you to," lie said," getting to his feet. "Don't you worry about me, Johnny." "I'll never worry about you, Duke," murmured the boy. The doctor stepped forward, beckon- ing to the ambulance men. "Ail right," he said crisply, "take the boy down to the hospital." "I'd consider it a personal favour, doc," said Whitehouse earnestly, "if you'd go along with the kid and kinda look after him until he's safely put to bed." The doctor nodded, and after the stretcher had been placed in the ambu- lance, entered the vehicle himself. It was driven away, and a guard caught hold of Duke's arm. But. Bill- ings, strode savagely forward, and, shak- ing a list in his face, said: "Well, if I have any influence, you're going to hang for this!" "It would be a pleasure," retorted Duke, "if 1 thought you were stretching a rope alongside of me!" "Yeah?" sneered the contractor. "Yeah! -For the murder of the Carter kid!" A powerful saloon car was seen ap- proaching It came to a standstill close beside them,, and an elderly man in a light grey Suit descended from it. . "The governor!" exclaimed White- house.- ■ - It was the Prison Commissioner, and Billings greeted him effusively. "How are. you,' sir?" he asked. "Not so "good, Billings," replied the Coommiisioner 'sternly, "when I think of what's happened here! It never would have happened if you hadn't driven the men to it. This finishes you, Billings!" "Not altogether, sir," said White- house, and took out his wallet, from which he produced the carbon copy of the letter the contractor had written to Marsh 'concerning the sweat-box. He handed it to the Commissioner, who read . > it through twice, while Billings stared in dismay and the others looked on won- deringly. . . "Billings," said the Commissioner, more sternly than ever, "this looks a< if you will have to. answer for the death of that Carter boy!" "You can't pin that on me!" howled Billings. "Not when we prove that the sweat- BOY'S CINEMA This Grand SAFETY FLYING DART FREE To-day And a Powerful MAGNET Nest Week Ask for The BULLSEYE Now on Sale - - 2d. oox was your idea?" thundered White- house. "Yes, Billings," said the Commis- sioner, "I'll Imve vou put under arrest. Sheriff^' • The sheriff whipped out a pair of handcuffs and snapped them on the con- tractor's wrists.' The Commissioner handed the carbon copy back to White- house, who immediately said to the sheriff: "Oh, McCarthy, we'll need Duke Klhs as a material witness against Billings." A guard had put handcuffs on Duke's wrists; but Duke, with a grin, swung round on the other prisoner. . '.' You've always wanted me to turn stool pigeon, Billings," he said. "1 never knew what a pleasure it would be until now!" He was led away to one of the impro- vised pens, and as he entered it, Matthew, who was squatting on the ground, looked up at him with the solemnity of an owl. ' '.'Comrade," he said, "are you back?" ''Say, Matthew," laughed Duke, "why didn't you try to escape? Haven't you ovei tried to escape?" "Brothet," responded Matthew, rais- ing his hands, "a man can escape from the strongest gaol, but can you tell me how he can possibly gel away from three wives? Prison is a pleasure!" "Yea. brother!" chuckled Duke. (By permission of Radio Pictures, Ltd., starring Richard Dix, with Tom Brown and Rochelle Hudson.) Every Tuesday "THE MAN FROM ARIZONA."

The sheriff touched Kent's shoulder with a gesture of sympathy. "It's sure tough, but maybe it's for the best." The posse had gone, bul not till the posse had got to horse did they dare to breathe freely. Moe Ginsberg left the posse a few minutes later on some excuse and doubled back to the shack. Kent Rogers and Jerry Sutton wore doing some explaining as Moe Ginsberg stepped on to the veranda. J never intended to dpuble-cross the wagon train," cried Jor.y. "But I couldn't tell Gallaghei that, could I?" "I never thought of that," cried Kent. "Why the heck didn't you trust me. I thought it was a frame-up between you " "May 1 come in?" cried a husky voice, and in walked Ginsberg. "Do not be alarmed, boys. 1 am all by my- self. You bluff Collins and the sheriff, hut not this child. That ring not yet paid for," Moe smiled. "I look at it pretty sharp, and I see by the way it fils that it is not the hand of ' Jerry Sutton. Jerry he have fat fingers, but dis man have thin ones. You have Gallagher under that rug." " You're too cute for us, Moe," sigh 'I Kent. "I take back Ihe ring, and you boys ride away." Moe Ginsberg grinned. "I like you, boys, but 1 think yoii betlor off in Arizona. 1 tell Ihe judge, the sheriff, and Mister Collins ail about it. You write me and 1 write you. 1 put this right, and then maybe you comt- back." He shook his head. "But better you stay away." "You're a great fellow, Moe!" cried Kent. "And I ui\e him good burial." Moe's grin laded. "But ivho pay for it - that worry me." "Ask Collins," suggested Rogers, and Ginsberg ga\e a most emphatic nod. Half an hour later two horsemen rode away from the shack. On the veranda were Ginsberg and Lupita, the latter \sitli her head on the little man's shoulder. But for all her smiles ami laughter the tears were streaming down her face. Kent and Jerry turned and w.iwd, (hen they set their hoise* towards th«« Border and a new life in Arizona. (By permission of P.D.C., starring Rex Bell and Neoma Judge.)
