As he took the elevator, Clyde's last glance toward Menzone's apartment showed the South American still standing in the opened doorway. Menzone was smiling, apparently pleased because he had been interviewed. Yet there was something sardonic about his expression that made a distinct impression upon Clyde Burke.

The Shadow's agent, as he strolled from Athena Court, was convinced that Alvarez Menzone's interest in South American transportation was not the only reason for his presence in Washington. There was a shrewdness about Menzone that was difficult to analyze. Among the pictures which Clyde had received was one of Menzone himself. Studying the photograph, Clyde could observe the peculiar, lurking smile that appeared permanently upon the lips of Alvarez Menzone. Clyde had missed this out at the Club Rivoli. He had not seen Menzone closely there.

Since his interview with the South American, however, Clyde was convinced of The Shadow's wisdom in covering this stranger in Washington. The photograph - Clyde studied it more intensely as he traveled toward his office in a cab - gave Menzone the sleek, crafty expression of a villain in an old-time melodrama. AT the office, Clyde began to arrange his material for a syndicated story. This was Sunday-feature stuff without question. The Pan-American Convention had not yet begun its preliminary meetings. This story would break before the subject of extended transportation would come before the members of the convention.
