It was not long afterward that a
knock sounded at the door of the new
headquarters of the Clutching Hand.
LeCroix and the secretary were there,
as well as couple of others.
"The Chief" exclaimed one.
The seer Try opened the door,
and, sure entdgh, the Clutching Hand

There came another knock. This
time, as the door opened, it was

Clutching Hand eyed him keenly,
then seemed to burst into an ungov-
ernable fury.
Quickly he began volleying orders
at the valet and the others. Then,
with the secretary and two of the
other crooks he left by another door
from that by which he had sent the
valet.
Leaving the undertakers, Kennedy

thoroughfares, to police headquarters,
where, after making ourselves known,
Craig made arrangements for raid

the laboratory where he had seen the
opera glass reflection.
Then, as secretly as we had come,
we went out again, letting ourselves
into the laboratory, stealthily looking
up and down the street. We entered
by basement door, which Kennedy
carefully locked again.
No sooner had we disappeared than
one of the Clutching Hands spies,
who had beer, watching behind bar

covered, to the railroad tracks along

'In there pointed Kennedy, quick

room, which was an outer room.
"Come, Walter"
! followed him in with a heavy
heart.
Outside could be seen the two sin
lister faces in the crowd watching In
tently. with eyes fixed on the state
room. Finally one of the crooks
boarded the ship hastily, while the
other watched the two porters come
out of the stateroom and pause at the
window, speaking back into the room
as though answering commands.
Then the porters quickly ran along
the deck and down the plank to get
the rest of the luggage.
They took small, but very heavy
box and, Juggling and tugging, fastened
toward the boat with it. But they
we're too late. The gangplank was be-

They shouted, but the ships officers
waved them back.
The porters argued. But 1t was no
use. All they could do was to carry
the box back to the Dodge car.
Miss Dodge was just getting in as
they returned.
What shall we do with this and
the other stuff" asked the Irish por-
ter.
She looked at the rest of the tagged
luggage and the box which was

his thumb at the ship.
"Yes," added the other crook, "and
lost most of their baggage, too"
Slowly the car proceeded through
the streets up from the river front,
followed by the taxicab, until at last
the Dodge mansion was reached.
Elaine sighed moodily as she walked
slowly In.
Here, Marie" she cried petu-
lantly to her maid, take these wraps
of mine"
A moment later Aunt Josephine left
her and Elaine went into the library
and over to table. She stood there
an instant, then sank down into a
chair, taking up Kennedy's picture
and gazing at it with eyes filled with
tears.
Just then Jennings came into the
room, ushering the two porters laden
with the boxes and bags.
Where shall / have them put these
things. Miss Elaine?" he inquired.
"Oh--anywhere," she answered hur-
riedly, replacing the picture.
Jennings paused. AS he did so,
one of the porters limped forward.

said in rich Irish brogue, with look
at Jennings, ito be delivered in pri-

Elaine glanced at him surprised.
Then she nodded to jennings, who
disappeared. AS he did so, the Irish
man limped to the door and drew to-
gether the portieres.
Then he came back closer to Elaine.

the insistence with which he chose
our travelling clothes had a deep-laid
purpose.

the stateroom. Kennedy's man threw

they battered at this outside door.

down the street he had seen police

of the strong-arm squad. They had
jumped out, some carrying sledge-

Almost before he could cry out and
retreat to give warning they had
reached the door and the first re-

crooks closed the last door into the

He had just come from school
and was taking his horse to the

he is getting along nicely.
