Chapter I. THE CAMPHOR WRAITH
SOME ONE who made his living with words once said that drama is everywhere. Presumably, this was
intended to mean that many persons contact adventure and fail to recognize it.

This was undoubtedly the case at the Los Angeles airport on one particular Monday evening. There was
something sinister underway. But no one was sharp-eyed enough to realize it.

This was explained by the fact that the two men in the black coup├й were good actors. There was nothing
furtive or suspicious about the manner in which the car drove into the parking lot, where hundreds of other
machines were already stationed.
The two did not leave their car immediately. They might have been just two more spectators.

It was an inspiring scene over which their eyes roved. The airport administration building, around which the
milling throng was most dense, was washed with brilliant light. Beacons cut great swaths through the
darkness, and out on the field ground lights were rows of colored dots. Every available source of illumination
at the airport appeared to have been tapped.

Somewhere among the parked cars, a pint-size newsboy with a barrel-size voice was shouting:
"World-girdling airship to touch Los Angeles! Read about it!"

The two in the coup├й listened icily to the boyтАЩs shouting.
