Girl sitting alone in the Sea Grill, a bar and restaurant waiting for a pickup.
"I come in here pretty often, sometimes alone, mostly with another girl,
we drink beer, and talk, and of course we keep our eyes open--you'd be surprised
at how often nice, lonesome soldiers ask Sue, the waitress, to introduce them
to us". |

The Shadow: The Masked Lady
October 15, 1939
She was wearing a mask made from a blue bandanna handkerchief. Only her eyes
were visible, through two slits in the cloth, for the bandanna formed a triangle
point down to her chin. Her eyes looked darkish, there were tufts of blond
hair at each side of the mask; but those details were scarcely important at
the moment. In her hand, the girl held a small revolver. Whether by chance
or design, she had the gun trained straight toward The Shadow, whose cloaked
form was plainly visible in the glow from the well-lighted office.
Such was The Shadow's first meeting with the unknown girl who was beginning
her career as the Masked Lady.
It threatened to be his last, as well! |
