Alfred Sartain had escaped death; so had J. Wesley Barnsworth. Now Gardner Joyce was on the list.

Cardona's perplexity faded. He knew the charm that had acted on all three events. The Shadow!

To Cardona, The Shadow was a living being. On other occasions, the master of the night had intervened to save the ace detective from doom. Where The Shadow's hand had entered, success had followed the affairs of Joe Cardona. Yet there was a reason why the detective preserved silence on that count.

Technically, The Shadow was nonexistent. Police Commissioner Ralph Weston had passed that order.

Until the identity of The Shadow was known, the being in black could not be regarded as a subject for the records.

Joe Cardona shrugged his shoulders. Once again, he had observed The Shadow only as a living phantom. He could not include to-night's intervention in his report. He must state that he, himself, had discovered the secret of the false telephone.

Taking the death device with him, the detective strode from the office. He had proof of crime. He had connected Slips Harbeck with it; and the gangster was a prisoner. Cardona was pleased with his accomplishment; and he grinned as he thought of the effect his report would have on Commissioner Weston.

Yet Cardona did not lack gratitude. He would have been pleased to extend his thanks to The Shadow, had he been given the opportunity to do so. Although ignorant of Professor Folcroft Urlich's part in crime, Cardona knew well that a battle of brains must now be under way between The Shadow and some supermind that plotted death.

Silent death! It had failed to kill. Not only had The Shadow avoided it; he had saved Detective Joe Cardona also.

Another scheme of Professor Folcroft Urlich had been thwarted. Again, The Shadow had prevailed!
