Chapter I. THE OWL
TROUBLE comes to men in strange shapes. It came to Doc Savage in the form of an owl.

It was a Tuesday afternoon. There came a knock at the door. The cold winter wind was making such a
whoop and whine around the midtown skyscraper that no one heard the knock the first time. The next
knock was louder. Monk Mayfair opened the door.

Monk blinked. "Well, well," he said. "A man with an owl, as I see the situation."

The man was a boy in uniform; otherwise, the statement was correct. The boy wore the uniform used by
the attendants in the candy shop in the lobby downstairs. The owl wore feathers and a sleepy look. He
was not a large owl. He was a rather fat one. He was brown, inclined to red. The owlтАЩs ears were rather
long.

Monk winked solemnly at the owl. "Hoot mon, whatтАЩs the idea?" he asked.

Monk had a small squeaky voice that might have belonged to an individual just above diaper age.
"It ainтАЩt funny," said the boy in uniform. "It ainтАЩt funny, at all."

Monk winked at the owl again. "He looks funny to me. He looks like Ham Brooks."
