CHAPTER XI. THE SHADOW WORKS

THE ringing of the telephone awoke Harry Vincent the next morning. He answered sleepily to hear a quiet but unfamiliar voice.

“Mr. Vincent?”

Harry acknowledged.

“I understand,” said the voice, “that you are in Holmsford in order to study conditions in this county so far as building enterprises are concerned. If you could meet me at your convenience, I believe that I can show you opportunities once we are acquainted.”

Harry began to reply; suddenly the wire was interrupted. The click of the receiver at the other end was the cause. Harry made no effort to resume the connection. He understood all that he needed to know.

He had received a message from The Shadow!

Holmsford County Building. At once.

Those emphasized words were the hidden message. They meant that Harry must go on duty. As Harry hung up the receiver, he saw a key lying beside the telephone. He looked at it, and saw the number 902.

That must mean Suite 902 in the Holmsford County Building.

Harry dressed hurriedly, put the key in his pocket, and left the hotel.
