She was exclaiming something half in French, half in English, that was probably

as incoherent to Leo as it was to Dick, for the scarred man was savagely trying

to beat Irene away and bring the rifle into action.

Dick whirled with the poker, ready to slug the Apaches away. He didn't realize that he should have been a dead duck, despite Irene's interference with

Leo. Dick had given the nimble-footed Apaches a wide-open chance to stab him in

the back, but they weren't doing it.

Things had gone black before Dick's eyes.

Literally, blackness had swarmed in from the open doorway, in the shape of

a cloaked attacker who was hurling aside the two Apaches. It was The Shadow again, in action at dawn instead of twilight, and his opponents respected him.

They were diving behind the protection of the fat stove, hoping to be there before The Shadow's guns began to rip. Rather than waste time with his automatics, The Shadow delivered a defiant laugh, swooped upon Dick as he had done that other time, and gathered him in a whirl that carried them both out through the station door.

Next, they were around the corner, with Leo's savage snarls far behind them. They went down the ruts to the river bank and onto a flat boat that was planted there. Then, they were out on the river itself, using the cable crossing. The Shadow was back to his Alpine feat.

So was Leo Dolbart.

A window smashed in the station; from it came the sharp crackles of rifle,

and Irene's excited cries. She was still trying to stop Leo from shooting, and perhaps she did her part in making his fire wide. Then the fog completely swallowed the ancient one-car ferry.

Along with the lap of water, Dick Whitlock heard The Shadow's trailing laugh, flinging back a departing taunt to the men who had lost all sight of him

and the victim he had rescued.

A creature from the depths of the river fog, The Shadow was returning to that element, triumphant!
