Reclining upon his throne, Mocquino called to the members of the cult:

“Shall this intruder die?”

A chorus answered, repeating the single word:

“Death!”

Mocquino’s left hand probed a second switch beside his throne. He voiced a sharp signal, understood by his native followers. With one accord, they sprang away, releasing their grip so suddenly that The Shadow had to catch his balance.

Mocquino pressed the switch.

Sparks flew from the mat on which The Shadow stood. They came from a metal plate beneath it, where Leboux had attached hidden wires.

The Shadow was flayed by the crackling current; when it ceased, an instant later, he rolled headlong toward the fire. Insensible from the shock, he was to all appearances dead.

Leboux and Ojil drew the black cloaked victim from the fringe of the flames; raised him at Mocquino’s command. In the firelight, the Voodoo Master pointed to the face of Cranston.

“Remember him,” reminded Mocquino. “His face, and the clothes he wears.

At

our next meeting - two nights hence - you will see him, another zombi, toiling at the wheel!”

As Leboux and Ojil carried away The Shadow, Mocquino’s musical tone became a chuckle that blended with the crackle of the voodoo fire.

The Shadow had come to the Voodoo Grotto; he had seen all that happened in this underground lair.

The Shadow had come, and had seen. But Rodil Mocquino had conquered!
