“Through you. He has found your trail.”

Birdie Crull repressed a shudder.

“How do you know?”

“Bronson tells me so. You know Spotter?”

“Yes. Every one does.”

“The Shadow has been pumping Spotter. I have the details here. He wants to find a man who has nerve; can use a gun; or a knife.”

Birdie Crull stared blankly at the wall.

“Do you think he is wise?” he questioned. “Does he know about — Jarnow — and Griffith?”

The murderer’s voice quavered slightly. Isaac Coffran studied him with piercing eyes.
