A PURPLE twilight settled over the hot city. The sun went down behind the tall buildings, the people rode the weary subways homeward, and another night came.

Inside the Adrian Gallery the dim rooms were deserted. The polished wood floors gleamed faintly in the dark, the pictures on the wall, the wild and gaudy works of the angry Turk, seemed to have softened in the peaceful dimness. The rooms, large and empty now, seemed to have grown larger in the deserted night, the silence giving them a quiet dignity they did not have in the frantic day.

Somewhere in the distance there were voices and the sound of movement. Faint like a half-heard surf unseen beyond a high hill. The voices and movement continued for some time. Then the silence became complete.

Nothing moved inside the dark rooms of the Adrian Gallery.

The wall of the main room opened and The Shadow stepped out. The black-shrouded Avenger stood listening. Motionless, his cloaked figure blended with the dark shadows of the silent room.

A silent room, but not to The Shadow. His trained and ultrasensitive ears heard a distant voice. It was below the level of normal hearing, and it came from upstairs on the second floor of the darkened gallery. A single voice talking. The Shadow listened, but there was only the single voice talking as if to itself. The Shadow glided across the polished floors and up the carpeted stairs to the second floor.
