HALF rising from the bench, The Shadow flipped the crumpled message through the bars of the window. Moyo plucked the wadded paper from the ground outside.

Soft footsteps; the creak of a tree beside the wall - those sounds told The Shadow that Moyo had left by the route that The Shadow himself had intended to take. Satisfied that the guards would attempt no harm to the prisoner, Moyo had departed in accordance with The Shadow’s orders.

The Indian had served James Rikeland in the past. His master was dead; Moyo’s present allegiance belonged to The Shadow. In coming to the presidio, Moyo had brought word of hope.

The Shadow had not needed the Indian’s aid. His own escape had been but a matter of minutes, at the time when Moyo had arrived. However, Moyo’s message had offered something better than mere escape. It had suggested a plan that might help greatly in balking the future schemes of Quetzal.

Eyes upward, The Shadow saw the spot on the wall from which the chunk of stone had fallen. It would have been easy to dislodge that bar; yet The Shadow did not regret the fact that he had foregone escape. His smile showed confidence that the future would go well.

The Shadow’s eyelids closed. He had chosen sleep for the hours that remained until dawn. That would be the time when he would gain full benefit from Moyo’s message.
