For a few moments these questions passed in rapid succession through Harry’s mind, and for the first time since his association with The Shadow, he felt the fear of impending disaster. Then he recalled the times when the amazing superman had met and conquered those who blocked his path.
Still standing by the window of his room, Harry Vincent smiled grimly, and his lips spoke these words:
“The Shadow knows!”
CHAPTER IV
GANGSTERS MEET
MARMOSA’S CAFE was a quiet place at seven o’clock in the evening. The restaurant was well filled with diners; waiters trod noiselessly across the carpeted floor; and the orchestra in the corner played soft music that did not disturb the pleasing atmosphere of the luxurious dining palace.
Harry Vincent found Frank Marmosa in the office when he arrived. The big man greeted him pleasantly, and suggested that he have dinner on the balcony, so that he could watch those who entered.
Harry took this as an indication that Marmosa wanted to test his ability as an observer, so he took the table which the proprietor pointed out, and ordered a sumptuous meal.
While he ate, Harry watched below.
He felt a certain admiration for Frank Marmosa, even though the man was engaged in an illegal enterprise. For Marmosa’s Cafe was certainly one of the most elegant restaurants that Harry had ever patronized, and the food was in keeping with the surroundings.
