Quoting from
"Doom on the Hill" (1934)
by Maxwell Grant:


   "The Shadow's tiny
   flashlight glimmered ... "

   "From then on, The Shadow's
   course was untraceable,                          It's oddly disturbing
   save for the glare of his                        that the Shadow needs
   flashlight when it reappeared"                   a flashlight to see in
                                                    the dark.



   "The master of darkness had listened
   in on the sheriff's conversation. He
   was here to examine the death
   gun. His left hand arranged the
   flashlight on the desk; his right
   glove slid clear of his
   hand. Producing a sheet of paper,
   The Shadow began to make notations
   in bluish ink."

   "Written thoughts that
   faded as the ink dried."




   "The Shadow had bided his time
   throughout the day; now, with
   darkness his habitation, the master
   of the night was ready to resume."

   "A whispered laugh stirred up
   vague echoes. That throbbing mirth
   was foreboding. Before this night
   was ended, The Shadow would produce
   evidence that others had failed to
   gain."





   "The Shadow had listened. He had
   made his deductions. Forgetting
   nothing in the past or present, the
   unseen investigator blended with
   the night."




"Doom on the Hill" was originally published in
"The Shadow Magazine," November 15, 1934
