“He cannot be attacked. He must be lured.”
“We can do that here.”
“Yes.” Tiger Bronson’s voice carried a tone of doubt. “The only thing is this. He may be too wise to come.”
Loo Look laughed.
“You say that he is fearless,” said the Chinaman. “If you speak truly, he will come.”
“That’s what I’m counting on, Loo Look.”
“There is nothing here to warn him,” said the Celestial. “I am too clever for that, Tiger. There are three entrances through which he may come.
“My guards are posted. They have been warned merely to deal quickly with any stranger. Perhaps others may fall into the trap. What of it?”
“It’s all right if you can get The Shadow.”
“The outer guard,” explained Loo Look, “will let any man enter. But if he is suspicious, he leans against a spot on the wall of the passage. That is a signal to the second guard behind the door. The instant that the stranger steps upon the threshold, the trap is released. Away he goes.”
