Whatever the case might be, The Shadow could see a trail as plainly as if it had been marked on the map. A hundred miles away from Grand Rapids, it formed a zigzag eastward.

Southwark might well be in its path. Defeated marauders, beating their course back toward New York, were trying to glean profits by minor depredations.

The pins were drawn away. The map was folded by the hands. The bluish light went out with a resounding click. Through the pitch-black room came the sinister tones of a hollow laugh.

Sneering tones of mirth broke into a jibing peal that changed to shuddering whispers. Back came the eerie mirth in ghostly echoes from the walls. Again and again the reverberations answered, as though a goblin horde had cried to its master from the depths of unseen corridors. When the last sibilant jeers had faded away, deep, heavy silence was all-pervading. The sanctum was empty.

The Shadow had departed. The master of the night had left upon his errand to stamp out the last vestiges of broken crime.
