Avenue, Pat’s clients were of the Four Hundred. Today she had come to the Fair to see the latest
inventions of the how-to-look-beautiful trade.

Her companion was Brigadier General Theodore Marley (Ham) Brooks, the lawyer of Doc Savage’s
group of five adventurous associates. Ham’s weakness was sartorial splendor, and his hobby was
quarreling with Monk Mayfair, who was another of the Doc Savage group of associates. The gag that
had just been played on Ham was one that would take a long time for him to live down.

Ham had been given a marcel by Monk Mayfair!

Monk was the clever chemist in Doc’s group. Deceived by some pretty girl operators—hired by
Monk—that the new marcel machine was a beautifying aid invented by Pat Savage, the lawyer had
submitted to a treatment. He had little realized that for some time he would be going around with a very
neat "finger wave" in his dark hair!

This explained why Ham’s hat was now pulled down tightly over his head; also why he was looking for
Monk.

"I’ll assassinate that Monk!" Ham snarled.

Pat pointed at the Hall of Mines.

"Excitement."

"Eh?"

"Over at the Hall of Mines."

They could see milling excitement. Then they suddenly glimpsed a giant bronze figure.

"That’s Doc!" Pat said.

Ham was suddenly moving forward. "You’d better wait here, Pat," he advised. "Looks like trouble."

But Pat Savage hurried after the tall lawyer. Ever since she could remember, she had wanted to be a
member of the bronze man’s group. But because of the great danger of their work, Doc seldom
permitted Pat to accompany them.

"You don’t keep me out of this!" Pat told the dapper lawyer.

Ham looked displeased, but it was no use to argue with a girl as beautiful as Pat.

"This," he murmured softly as he ran into the Hall of Mines, "looks interesting."



DOC SAVAGE was giving building attendants quiet, but imperative orders.

"Shovels! Picks!" Doc directed. "They may be trapped beneath the fallen stone. Get more men!"
