The two boys started in surprise at the fresh muddy imprints of a pair of bare feet. What was a barefooted man doing on the steps of a house, in the middle of London? And where was the mam?
As they gazed, a remarkable sight met their eyes.A fresh footmark appeared from nowhere!
Further footprints followed, one after another, descending the steps and progressing down the street. The boys followed, fascinated, until the muddy impressions became fainter and fainter, and at last disappeared altogether.
The explanation of the mystery was really simple enough. The bewildered boys had been following a scientist who had just discovered how to make the human body transparent.
Griffin, the scientist, had carried out experiment after experiment to prove that the human body could became invisible. Finally he swallowed certain rare drugs and his body become as transparent as a sheet of glass ---- though it also remained as solid as glass .
Brilliant scientist though he was, Griffin was rather a lawless person. His landlord disliked him and tried to eject him. In revenge Griffin set fire to the house. To get away without being seen he had to remove his clothes. Thus it was that he became a homeless wanderer , without clothes, without money, and quite invisible ---- until he happened to step in some mud , and left footprints as he walked!
