He was master of this mysterious foe beyond the closed door. Again Morgan lifted his eyes to the midnight orbs beyond the transom. A sensation of triumph thrilled him like an electric shock. The deadly eyes wavered! The silent duel was ended! Something like a muttered curse and a choking cry of rage came from the lips of the man beyond the door. Then the deadly eyes suddenly vanished.

Standing erect, the man remained motionless for a full minute, during which he kept his gaze fixed on the tiger, staring into those orbs as if he would "look him through."
