Chapter XI

DOC’S MAMMOTH FOE

When the radio set in Ham and Monk’s plane had been cut off, Doc had driven his car back to the garage, bronze eyes watchful. He arrived on the eighty-sixth floor at about the time Ham and Monk were being put to sleep by a soothing voice.

The bronze giant moved with infinite caution. As he emerged from his special high-speed elevator, he had become aware that all was not right in the office.

Doc glided to one side. His foot contacted the button which should have started the visionator. Nothing happened.

The man of bronze realized instantly that some one had been in the laboratory. He glided into the reception room and then halted. On the floor in front of him lay two bodies. They were those of men. They were the bodies of Long Tom and Professor Archer. The men on the floor were breathing faintly.

Doc employed his generator flashlight gingerly. He verified the fact that Long Tom and Professor Archer were only unconscious. Doc flicked off the light.

Something queer was happening to him. His trained senses had picked up another presence, but his character, whether animal or human, was vague.

Doc whipped to a repository near his reception-room desk. From this, he picked out a black box somewhat like an old-fashioned stereoscope. Only it gave forth no light.

The ray whipping from the box was known as a violet ray, or the black light. Doc directed this briefly at the glass top of his desk. A few scrawled words glowed with eerie fluorescence.

The words had been written by Long Tom with a chalk which fluoresced under the violet ray.

DOC—THEY HAVE GOT PAT AND ANN GARVIN—A MONSTER IS NOW——
