“Sure he is. Because you’re the guy that barges in on all of my jobs. You’re taking it on the lam, anyway.

Say, Tex—we’re a couple of brainy guys, the way we’ve been working. It’s always looked like each of us was on our own—all the time.”

With this final statement, Rabbit Gorton sidled from the room. Tex Lowner continued to make ready for his evening visit. A glimmer of light on the ground floor announced Rabbit’s departure by the rear door.

THE SHADOW’S suction cups squidged. The discarded pair had gone back on the gloved hands. With an easy descending motion, The Shadow reached the darkness of the alleyway below.

When Tex Lowner appeared in front of the Hotel Spartan a short while later, he did not observe the long patch of darkness that seemed a part of one of the elevated pillars. The gang leader hailed a passing cab and gave an address on Park Avenue.

It was then that the shade of darkness became a living thing that moved swiftly from the pillar. The Shadow, a gliding phantom, headed across the street and reached a byway where his coupe was waiting.

He entered the car and started on an uptown course.

The Shadow had heard the cryptic conversation between Tex Lowner and Rabbit Gorton. Obscure though many of the remarks had been, The Shadow had understood many facts that were not mentioned.
