THEY were fired on in front of Doc Savage’s skyscraper headquarters. The firing was done with a high-powered rifle, evidently equipped with telescopic sights and a machine rest, for the spot from which the bullets came was proved to be a full half mile distant.

Doc and his party conducted a brisk search, aided by policemen, but the snipers had taken flight. Descriptions, however, by people who had seen them, indicated beyond any shadow of a doubt that they were Fuzzy and his gang.

Finally, Doc and the others entered the skyscraper aërie on the eighty-sixth floor. Pat looked around curiously.

"The windows," she said, "look kind of different, somehow. Is it some new kind of bulletproof glass you’ve put in? About time!"

"There’s been bulletproof glass in these windows for a long time," pale Long Tom reminded her. "Ever since some guys on the tower of an unfinished skyscraper tried to shoot Doc, almost three and a half years ago."

"Then what’s wrong?" Pat demanded. "The windows look different."

"They’re a new type of glass." Long Tom explained. "You can see out, but you can’t see in. In other words, it’s one-way glass."

"Do tell!" said Pat. "Who invented it?"

"I dunno," Long Tom told her. "But Doc did a lot of work to perfect it, and between you and me, he’s got two factories working twenty-four hours a day making it. It’ll be a big hit for windows in houses. And it’ll make plenty of money—"

Doc Savage said, "We have one clue to work on in this affair. Only one."

"What?" rumbled Renny.

"The new dirigible, Zephyr," Doc said. "We know that the enemy was interested in knowing when it was to make a flight."

Captain Blackstone Toy said, "I advance the idea that we be aboard when the Zephyr takes off this afternoon."

"My plan," Doc Savage said. "As soon as we telephone August Atlanta Braun’s ultimatum to Washington, we will leave for Lakehurst."
