 Chapter I. MIDSUMMER SNOW
PATRICK BRENNAN, police patrolman, was the first to see the beautiful woman of glass. Unfortunately,
Patrolman Brennan did not live long enough to report the incredible apparition. The policeman died heroically
in the discharge of duty.

The snow had been pelting down. It had started more than an hour before the lovely, vivid woman was
transformed into a horrible, shadowy silhouette in the window of plate glass. The twin phenomena of the snow
and the ghastly shadow seemed to be wholly unrelated.

Patrolman Brennan might have told something of what really happened, if he had survived. As it was, the
policeman was left lying in the street. His service revolver had belched death. It had taken double toll of his
attackers, but that had not been enough to save him.

Snow is not unusual in Manhattan. Blizzardfalls, such as this one, are rare, but they happen occasionally in
proper time and season. This snowfall was remarkable. It was being recorded by the United States weather
bureau as an all-time mark in freakish weather.
