Cranston's friend in companion the lovely Margot Lane is the only person who knows who whom the unseen voice belongs The only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds, the shadow.

Today's story, The Man Who Murdered Time. Yes, Your Honor? Mr. Cranston, under half of all the employees of the club, I wish to thank you for your generous New Year's gift to the personnel. That's quite all right, Stuart.

Happy New Year. The same to you, sir. And may I thank you too, Mr. Hughes, for your gift, Your Honor. Very welcome, Stuart. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. I wish I could have made it more, Transon.

But it hasn't been a terribly good year, me. Sorry to hear it, yours. But the way, how is Mrs. Hughes feeling these days? Poorly. Well, the doctors and sanitarium say she may pull out of it next year.

That's why I'm looking forward to the new year, so eagerly. We'll use it, sir. There's anything I can do in the way of financial assistance. Thanks, old man, but it won't be necessary. I expect to be out of debt very shortly.
