Tuesday the Palace begins, THE
Exploits of Elaine" 1t will show THE
Clutching Hand" the first episode.
The Consolidated Insurance Co., of
which Taylor Dodge is president, has
lost considerable money through the
mysterious robberies of the master
criminal known as the Clutching
Hand Perry Bennett, young lawyer
assistant to Dodge, is endeavoring to
discover the criminal. Being Of an aft
able and pleasing personality, he
creates a deep impression upon Elaine,
his employers beautiful daughter.
Dodge is visited by Limpy Red, a gun
man wronged by the Clutching Hand.
Limpy Red advises him how the mys-
ferrous crook can be found, and gives
him directions to find his lair. Dodge
disnisses the gunman. and on return
ing to his office finds a mysterious
note, advising him to at once destroy
the directions received. 1t is signed
by well-drawn picture of Clutch
ing Hand Greatly perturbed he re-
turns to his home. Stepping out of
his limousine, he is surprised to find
an envelope with his enemy's trade
mark pasted on the door. Entering
his home he is met by Elaine, Bennett,
and Jameson, a reporter He refuses
to be interviewed by the reporter, and
enters his library, where he deposits
Limpy Reds directions in his safe.
Jam eson, hearing Dodge remark that
he has discovered the Clutching Hand,
hastens to his friend Craig Kennedy. a
noted detective, and tells him the
news.
Kennedy, arrived at the Dodges'
home, arouses the servants, and ex-
plains his fears for their masters life.
Hearing the whining of Dodge's dog,
they hasten to the library, and there
discover finger prints on plaster
bust. Thoroughly examining them he
is greatly surprised to notice that
they are his own finger prints. He
realizes the cunning william with whom
he has to cope. Bennett, consoling
the grief-stricken Elaine, registers a
solemn vow to consecrate his life to
bringing the Clutching Hand to JUS
tice.
