CHAPTER XII

FROM THE NIGHT

CLIFF MARSLAND was helpless. Backed against the front wall of the car, he was standing with arms pinned behind him. The fake brakeman, the pretended salesman, were the pair who held him at bay. The second bandit - the fellow whom Cliff had slugged - had not removed his mask.

This man was Wenshell. He and Hasker had led the expedition. The others - all disguised - were crooks who had served with Wenshell’s fake air circus. Gangsters all, Eric Hildrow had relied upon them to pull this coup.

Death to Harry Vincent. Such had been Hildrow’s order. The others - Cliff Marsland and the two men who had intervened - could wait. Wenshell did not know that Cliff was with Harry. The two men from the back of the car sat cowed in chairs, covered by revolvers. Wenshell looked on approvingly while Hasker aimed his revolver for Harry’s heart.

Wildly, Cliff Marsland struggled. Curbed, he resorted to a momentary subterfuge. To turn Hasker’s attention, he shouted a warning that the man thought came from Wenshell.

“Look out!” cried Cliff. “Look out for the door of the platform!”

Instinctively, Hasker turned his eyes in that direction. So did others, including Cliff. Then The Shadow’s agent stared, as amazed as the others. His wild cry had become a prophecy. The door of the platform was swinging inward.
