The Shadow had declared himself three nights ago.

"Make yourself quite at home," declared The Shadow, in an easy tone.

"That makes my journey a little longer," declared The Shadow.

The Shadow, master of the night, had declared the final token of his victory!

"I have made up my mind to walk," declared The Shadow.

The Shadow declared it, as he took a long stride from the alcove.

"A few days will be too long," declared The Shadow.

"One point is absent from your statement," declared The Shadow.

"Nor have the police managed to find you," declared The Shadow.

"Only you supposed that crime would produce reward," declared The Shadow.
