The motion picture chums at the fair

The speakers were two young men, part of a little company gathered in the office of a moving picture theatre on upper Broadway, New York City. On a table in front of the party w...

Frank stood aside in the bank vestibule, to give the excitable stranger room to pass, but the man did not seem to want to take advantage of the courtesy extended by the young mo...

Frank managed to grasp the coat of the wild-eyed man who seemed so bent on rushing into danger. The slightly bruised arm of the young motion picture owner gave a twinge as he ex...

"Mr. Strapp, you'll have to explain," spoke Frank, slowly, as he looked at the former ranchman. "It isn't like you to say something like that, and then let us guess at your mean...

"But I say! Look out! I won't have it! I won't have it, I tell you!" objected the stout, red-faced man. The motion picture boys, attracted by the commotion, had looked from thei...

Frank was so impressed by the look on the stranger's face that, for a moment, he almost made up his mind to speak to him, though he had never seen him before. The man who had th...

"No good, eh?" exclaimed the suspected man in a voice that made Frank fear at least part of the conversation had been overheard. "No good!" and the man looked fiercely from his...

Probably many of you will go, or have already gone, to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which is the official name for what is commonly called the Panama Fair, and I...

The motion picture chums could not conceal the disappointment they felt on hearing the words of the director. They had realized they might not be in time to get a place that wou...

"Then have him up," added Hank Strapp. "This isn't any way to be hospitable. We Westerners don't act that way. Tell him to come up, boy!" he called to the messenger.

The Cliff House, and the Seal Rocks, not far from that hotel, form a sight that thousands of visitors to San Francisco visit annually. In addition to a fine beach, the beauty of...

"If we swim out, we can get a look at his face," went on Pep, "and I don't mind admitting that I should like to see it. I'm interested in that chap."

Whether he wanted to or not, the youth who had, as Pep and Frank both believed, been saved from a self-inflicted death, submitted himself to them, and allowed them to carry him...

Frank and Pep were silent a moment. They did not know exactly what to do or say under the circumstances, and they did not want to further embarrass their guest. Then Albert resu...

"Not so fast," cautioned Frank. "This is a note half-promising, at least, a place for a motion picture theatre at the fair, but it isn't in the Zone. It's out in one of the gove...

The motion picture chums stared at Albert, who, in turn, looked with wide eyes at the man he had accused. It was Royston, plainly enough, but he was unaware of the scrutiny turn...

Albert, rummaging in a trunk that had belonged to his uncle, which piece of baggage had been brought from the hotel with his own, found a mass of papers which, at first glance,...

Certainly Royston's amusement enterprise was large enough. The building was one of the most commodious in the Zone, though it did not at first seem so. Frank and his chums walke...

It was Albert who thus answered the question of Mr. Bullard, the latter being seated in Albert's room at the hotel, engaged in going over a mass of papers taken from Mr. Jackson...

With a bound Albert Jackson was out of his chair, and had grasped the back of it, intending to use it for a weapon. But Mr. Watt, the young lawyer, using great good sense, laid...

"Yes, you may see Mr. Jackson," said the superintendent of the asylum to whom Albert and his friends applied for permission. "I need hardly ask you not to excite him," the docto...

"Well, Albert, I don't exactly understand you," spoke Mr. Jackson, slowly, and there was weariness in his voice. "I had no idea I could ever get back from that cheat and scoundr...

"It was that time when I had the row with Royston in the New York bank," Frank explained. "As I came out I saw a queerly dressed man about to dart right in front of a swiftly-mo...

Pep, who had followed his chum, to help carry up to the machine booths the reels of film, leaped forward as he heard Frank's words. He, too, looked within the safe.

The motion picture chums looked at one another jubilantly. Their long period of waiting was over. At last they saw success before them. They had fought hard and long, and had won.
