The fellow spoke as if he knew where Kenley wanted to go. Harry went with him past the corner, but stopped at the door of the waiting cab. A trip to Thern’s would be all right; but it would be best to call The Shadow first.

“Just a minute,” said Harry, nudging his thumb toward a cigar store. “I have to make a phone call.”

Harry was turning as he spoke. He took two steps, no more. A pair of husky men piled from the building wall, where they had been waiting in the darkness. While Harry was reaching for his gun, they bowled him straight for the cab.

The rear door opened; Harry was pitched into the arms of another thug, who greeted him with an expert tap from a blackjack.

As Harry went limp, his first attackers piled into the cab and thrust him on the seat. The fake cabby sprang to the wheel and promptly drove away, while the men inside were yanking the rear door shut.

Recuperating during that ride, Harry was vaguely conscious of a voice that sounded like an ugly purr. The tone belonged to Matt Scarnley.

“I’ll buzz Klagg from the Long Island joint,” Matt declared, “and tell him that grabbing Kenley was a cinch. The hard part was waiting for the guy to show up. Klagg said we’d have to work quick, after he got that call to stop the guy. Maybe Falsythe held Kenley back a while.”

It didn’t occur to Matt that Falsythe had personally handled Kenley; that, as a result, Matt’s crew had seized the wrong man. Yet, with Kenley already out of circulation, Harry was the right man for mobsters to capture.

Harry Vincent had heard the facts that Arthur Kenley stated. With both men prisoners, those facts—like the plight of the men themselves—would remain unknown to The Shadow!
