AS the cab rolled away, a strange thing happened. A long, limber creature twisted from a doorway and broke into a trot. In his stride, the elongated runner seemed to bounce like a rubber ball. His lopes were amazingly long, and so swift that his feet touched the ground in fleeting fashion.

The man was a lung-gom-pa runner, a mystic of the strange type that Bryson had mentioned during his ambulance ride. Eyes fixed dead ahead, the lung-gom-pa kept them on The Shadow’s cab, and held to the course through the darkened, narrow streets that Moe preferred.

There were moments when the runner loped into the light, revealing himself as a brown-faced man, clad in a short, ragged tunic. Under his arm the lung-gom-pa clutched a phurba, and his long fingers were the sort that could loose the enchanted dagger with all its reputed accuracy.

Never did the runner remain long in the light. His swift pace always carried him into darkness before eyes could notice him.

To the lung-gom-pa, the side streets of Manhattan were a better racetrack than the grassy plains of Tibet. When the cab went beneath an elevated structure, the runner followed, keeping away from the traffic lane except when he swerved to pass the steel elevated pillars.

He was on the trail of The Shadow, whose keen eyes did not spy the lung-gom-pa during occasional glances back from the cab. Victor over massed men of crime, The Shadow had postponed his search for Shiwan Khan only to be trailed in turn!
