Cracked ton cover of The Black Mask "A magazine of Mystery,Romance and Adventure". Text at top of cover. Bottom, in left corner - August 1920 - in right corner - 20 cents.
The cover illustration is of a woman in a gown holding a statue of The Buddha. Her head is turned to the left with a wide-eyed expression of surprise. To her right is a dark-skinned man in a robe & wearing a turban. He is pointing to the left indicating something to the woman. In the far left in the foreground is a large long wax candle mounted in a floor stand. It is providing the light. In the background is a wall and large drapes in a door frame.

But the foregoing might apply in a general way to the body of any dead man under normal circumstances. What took this body out of the ordinary was not only its inexplicable presence in the locked and guarded vault but also the fact that from the back there protruded the handle of a large hunting knife — one of the elk horn variety never carried, except by chechahco hunters. The long blade was buried in the body just below and to the right of the left shoulder-blade, between it and the spine, and had been driven in with such a forceful blow that the haft made an indentation in the flesh about the wound.
