A smile showed on Cranston’s lips.

“Deserving cases,” stated The Shadow. “I shall have Vincent pick those which he thinks are best. Say two hundred names. From those— with their records—I shall select the ten that most appeal to me.”

“And make them gifts?”

“Yes. Five thousand dollars to each of the ten persons. Anonymous gifts, dropping from the sky.”

“Like manna to the hungry.”

“Or rain to the thirsty.”

Delhugh nodded his approval. He arose from the desk, noting that his visitor seemed ready to leave.

“Commendable. Mr. Cranston,” declared the philanthropist, extending his hand to The Shadow. “This is the type of giving that I approve. Donations that bring dividends in happiness. To the donor as well as to the recipient.

“Ordinary welfare funds are necessary. Charitable enterprises must be supported. But many who contribute to them do so to gain public acclaim. Or to satisfy their consciences because they have, in the past, been grasping.

“This plan of yours is different, however. I shall be pleased to see how it works out. Just as I am looking forward to the fruits of my own experiments. Have your man Vincent come here to-morrow night. Benzig will start him on his task.”

Delhugh rang for his secretary. Benzig appeared and ushered the visitor downstairs. He saw Cranston’s tall form step aboard a limousine. An order to the chauffeur; the car pulled away.

IN the rear seat of the limousine, encased by soundproof glass, the being who posed as Lamont Cranston indulged in a soft, prophetic laugh. Another step had been made toward balking men of crime.

Here, at the home of Perry Delhugh, lay new opportunity to thwart coming evil. Jack Targon had been here tonight; that was proof that Steve Zurk would also be a visitor. From now on, Harry Vincent, agent of The Shadow, would be implanted at a spot that was strategically important.

For The Shadow, following Murson’s tip, had divined that the leak might have come from Delhugh’s. The Shadow had learned from Delhugh’s own statement, that the philanthropist had held correspondence with Theobald Luftus.

One chance for crime had been snapped from that source. New opportunities would be in the making.

Crooks would gain them; The Shadow, through Harry Vincent, would learn of the opportunities that might come to men of crime.

He, too, would use the knowledge that lay at Delhugh’s. With it, The Shadow would see chances to thwart the thrusts of murderous fiends.
