THIRTY minutes later, The Shadow arrived at the Club Torreo. The gay night palace was glittering no longer. It had been closed by police order. Tables and furnishings had been removed. Two watchmen were on duty. They failed, however, to see the blackened shape that entered through the unlocked door. The Shadow had donned garb of black.

The front way to the second floor was open. Silently, The Shadow ascended. He reached the darkened gambling room. He saw a glimmer of a light beyond. Advancing, The Shadow reached the door of the office. It was ajar; the sound of voices reached The Shadow’s ears.

“I’ll fix it all tomorrow, Duke,” The tone was Sparkler Meldin’s. “The place - the time of opening - the personnel. You had a tough break here last night. As manager of the Casino, you’ll receive a percent on the take. A chance to make a comeback.”

“But it will go against us, Sparkler.” The speaker was Hydon. “What chance have we got to make a cleanup, unless we have a roulette layout behind the front?”

“That’s just what we will have”, assured Sparkler. “But it won’t come right away, Duke. We’ll bluff Weston for a while; then we’ll open wide. I know plenty of tricks that will foul the wise commissioner.”

A chuckle from Duke.

“You ought to know them, Sparkler -

“All right. I’m in on it. When do you leave for Havana?”

“Three days from now. I’ll leave the train at Miami, spend a day there, and fly to Cuba. Meanwhile, Duke, I’ll make a complete list of the things I want done. The rest of the job is yours.”
