Chris gulped, unable to believe
his ears.
"What did you say?" he de
manded fearfully.
"Your Shanghai film was all
black!" Gabby shrieked.
- "And what's more, JPearly Todd

"I dont get this at all!" Chris
- exclaimed in "panic. "Hey! Do I
Bay anything on the track? Does
Alma say anything?"
"No! But what difference does
that make? If you think you're
a sleight-of-hand artist you should
have put your head under that
that X-ray! TWe've been robbed,
Mr. Hunter! Robbed! Do you un
derstand? I Just called up "Pearly"
Todd! I'm going to sue him and
Atlas for everything but their old
emulsion! So you and that girl
et right back here and make a
eposltlon to our lawyers!"
Chris thoutrht fast Whoever had
stolen that Shanghai reel must
know that the whole thing was

"Now, listen, Gabby," he said,
"we can't do that. Alma wouldn't
wnc stand. Let 'em have this.
!WeV. get better on something
else."
"You heard what I said!" Gabby
veiled. "You and she eet in here
by th.j afternoon! You come and
make a deposition or by heaven
I'll tend the law after you both
and nail your hide to a mpoo:"
Anx":ly he hung up.

waa still smiling triumphantly.
"Very gallant, Mr. Todd," he called.
"But it won't work. You're still
going to be sued."
As the picture progressed, Bill
Dennis suddenly jumped up.
"Not" he yelled, dashing toward
the projection booth. The guards
'stationed there resolutely blocked
the door.
As Hunter's voice on the screen
told the whole story of the frame
up reel, Chris lumped up and fol
lowed Dennis. There was a short,
desperate battle but by the time
the film had been completed.
Alma sat stunned as the horrible
truth dawned on her. Then, amid
the jeers and laughter of the
crowd and the jubilant cries of
reporters, she rose quickly and
started for the elevator.
Chris rushed after her, but she
pushed him away, her eyes filled
with tears,

Shown around."
Hunter realized he was trapped.
"What's the deal?" he asked.
"Get a copy of this burning boat
footage over to "Pearly" Todd and
I'll give you back the other."
ChriB nodded grimly. Neither he
nor Bill knew that at that very
moment the head of Atlas News
reels, stung by MacArthur's threats
of a suit, had located the confiden
tial sound track appropriated and
hidden by Dennis.
.
Calling a press newsreel screen
ing for the next day, "Pearly" Todd
assumed the- role of executioner.
Making sure that Gabby MacAr-
thur, Alma and enns were ail pre
sent, the picture executive ad
dressed the group with gleaming
eyes.
"Ladles and gentlemen," he said,
"Mr. MacArthur and I have been
competitors for years. But Just to
clear up our misunderstandings,
I've butted in here tonight with
Bill Dennis' film from Shanghai.
To show that I'm oh the level...
to complete the record. . .1 give you
the opening chapter of an amaz
fng newsreel career. . .Alma Har
ding's great serum flight to Shanghai."
Chris and Bill stared wildly at
'Tm going home," she said, "and
listen... the first decent thing you
can do in your life is not to fol
low me."
When he tried to stop her, the
elevator door was closed In his
face.
Chris, for once, forgetting old
jealousies, got together with Bill.
Both of them felt that a calamity
had occurred in Alma's public hu
miliation. Now she would never be
able to find a sponsor for her long
cherlshed trip to South America
in search of her brother.
There was only one way, they
felt, to atone. She must be given
a chance to make that trip. Pool
ing all their resources, much of
their valued equipment, even a fif
teen hundred dollar insurance
policy, they raised seven thousand
dollars. Then they sent Joselito to
Alma's home; they knew Alma
would never accent their money, so
they instructed him to represent
himself as head of a South Amer
ican philanthropic organization
Pacing up and down they await
ed his return. Bill seized his arm
as he arrived.
"What happened?" he cried. "Did
she accept the check?
Joselito nodded. "With tears In
her eyes, she take it."
"What did she say?" Chris asked!
anxiously.
"When she understand I am a
charitable constitution, she kiss me
on this cheek." He made as if to
touch hie cheek, but Chris checked
his forearm with a quick grip.
"Go on!" snapped Bill. "What
else?"
"The sister, she happy too. She
kiss me on this cheek. I sit there.
They are so pure. Even though I
waa helping them I feel myself a
dirty dogs. Just like you and
Dennis."
"What's she going to do?" asked
Chris.
"She tell me," Joselito said, 'she
got at once to jungle place called
Pinto."
"What a story!" Hunter exclaim
ed. "Even if she never finds her
brother, it'd be the greatest news
reel clip -of the century! That girl
.a jungle DacKgrouna. . .usten,
Bill, we..."
Dennis Dlazed. "You d cut her
heart out for a picture! You'd
photograph it in sound. You're
a Khoul, Hunter, and I'm through
with you! Don't say 'we' any more.
l want no part oi you."
Standing on the gangplank. Alma
watched the fuselage of her small,
new plane being lashed down to
the deck of the banana boat. Deck
hands covered the machine with a
large tarpaulin.
A messenger boy clashed over,
carrying a square box. Alma ac
cepted it slowly opened a card ly
ing on the top. It read: "No
matter where you are Chris."
For a moment, Alfa a seemed
happy at- this farewell greeting,
but the next moment her face
hardened. Deliberately, she dropped
the box, flowers and all, over the
raU and into the water.
Leaning against a pillar in the
darkened recesses of the dock,
Chris and Bill Dennis stood watch
ing the boat
"It's awful to be sending her up
alone," Dennis groaned. "One of
us ought to have gone with her."
'Sure," Chris sneered. "You could
stow away as a can of tomatoes."
They watohed sadly as the
freighter slowly pulled away from
the dock. Then Chris made his way
to Joselito.
"Well, there she go, poor girl!"
the latter said, shaking his head.
Did you get the compass;
Chris demanded.
"Sure things, I have it here..."1
Joselito reached for . ., but Chris,
stopped him. "Dennis!" he warned.!
Then he whispered. "Did they'
change the numbers okay?" I
"Perfect. Xou could not tell It
had been done with a magnifying
glass."
"Good," Hunter said decisively.
"You'll take it up to Gabby Mac
Arthur first thinglin the morning."
Joselito did. Still eloquently pos
ing as a Latin senor, he convinced
Gabby that it was Harry Harding's
compass he carried. Gabby, com-
Sletely taken in, arranged with'
oselito to guide an expedition tor,
him, headed by the great Chris
Hunter.
Overjoyed, Chris made rapid, 3
cret preparations. Several days
later, he and Joselito boarded a.
steamer, gloating over the success
and in the knowledge that they5
