REACH under what? And what could the “Indian” mean? To the ordinary intelligence such a scrap of nonsense meant nothing at all. The Shadow, however, immediately divined the circumstances under which such a note might logically be written.

He had no knowledge whatever of where the Indian was. But the fact that it was to be a “high” Indian and that one must reach down after following his nose, gave The Shadow all the preliminary information he needed.

He was certain that he could find this tragic Cup of Confucius as soon as he decided it was necessary to bring it to light. In the meantime, it was safe where it was.

The smoke in the bloodstained bedroom was now thick and choking. From the hall door came a scarlet blast of flame.

The Shadow darted toward the front window. Down below he could hear the shouts of men, the throbbing of fire engines. Firemen were visible, flitting across the glare of the grounds. The Shadow’s chance of escaping unseen from the building was practically gone.

Nevertheless, he tested his chance of flight from the heat-seared bedroom window by raising the sash with a quick gesture and thrusting his head out into the noisy, flame-lighted darkness.

The moment he did so, he heard something below that told him escape from the front of the house was hopeless. Worse than hopeless - it was absolute suicide!
