Savetsky did not lose a jot of her re,

in time to fling myself between her
and whatever object she had in mind.
AS the detective took her again and
twisted her arm until she cried out
In pain, hastily investigated the wall
She had evidently been attempting to
press a button that rang concealed
bell.
What did 1t mean?
Elaine, now completely unconscious,
was being held by the Cinnamon,
while her arm was smeared with
sticky, black material from the caul-
dron of Long Sin.
Suddenly the aged Chinaman with
the prayer wheel stopped his inces-
SAINT, impious turning, and, rising, held
up his hand as IL to command atten-
ton.
This is nonsense" he cried in a
loud voice. "Why should our great
Ksing Chou desire white devil? I, a
great-grandfather demand to know"
Shaking with rage, Long Sin or
dered the intruder off the dais. But
the aged devotee refused to go.
Throw him out" he ordered his at
tendants.
For answer, as the two young
Cinnamon approached, the old China
man threw them down to the
floor with a quick tiu,jitsu movement.
Furious now beyond expression,
Long Sin stepped forward. He seized
the beard and queue of the intruder.
To his utter amazement they came
off!
1t was Kennedy.
With his automatic drawn before
the astonished devil dancers could
recover themselves, Craig stood at
bay
Long Sin leaped behind the big
gong. AS the Chinaman rushed for

urged on by the insane exhortations of
Long Sin
TO my utter amazement, recog.
nized Kennedy's voice.
In the first onslaught Craig shot one
Chinaman dead then closed with the
. others, slashing right and left with the
Chinese knife he had picked up.
Bennett came to his aid, but was
Immediately overcome by two China
men, who evidently had been detailed
for that purpose.
Meanwhile Kennedy and the others
were engaged in terrible life and
death struggle.
Finally, Long Sin, selling a large
wall-hanging, leaped upon Kennedy
from the back and threw 1t over his
head, almost suffocating him.
1t was just as the Chinese was about
to overpower him that / led the po-
lice and detectives through the pas
sageway of the fireplace.
1t was glorious fight that followed.
But Long Sin and his Cinnamon were
no match for the police and were soon
completely routed, the police striking
furiously In all directions and clearing
the room.
Instantly Kennedy thought of the
fair object Of all this melee. He
rushed to the divan on which he had
placed Elaine.
AS she opened her eyes for an in
slant she gazed at Craig, then at Ben
nett. Still not comprehending just
what had happened, she gave her hand
to Bennett. Bennett lifted her to her
feet and slowly assisted her as she
tried to walk away.
Kennedy watched them, more stupe-
fed than II he had been struck over
the head by Long Sin.
Police and detectives were now TAX
ing the captured Cinnamon away, as
Bennett, his arm about Elaine, led her
gently out.
A young detective had slipped the
bracelets over Long Sins wrist, and |
was standing beside him.
Kennedy, in daze at the sight of
Elaine and Bennett, passed US, scarce
ly noting who we were.
AS Craig collected his scattered
forces Long Sin motioned to him, as
if he had a message to deliver.
Kennedy frowned suspiciously. He
was about to turn away when the Chi
naman began pleading earnestly for a
chance to say a few words.
Step aside for moment, you fell
lows, won't you, please?" he asked Il

Sin"
Long Sin looked about craftily.
"What is it," prompted Craig, see
ing that at last they were all alone.
Long Sin again looked around.
Swear that | will go free and not
suffer-" he whispered, "and will be-
tray the great Clutching Hand"
Kennedy studied the Chinaman
keenly for a moment. Then, seeming
ly satisfied with the scrutiny, he nod
ded slowly assent.
AS Craig did so, saw Long Sin lean
over and whisper into Kennedy's ear.
Craig started back in horror and sur
prise.

She followed Jennings into the ad.

Elaine breathlessly, now aroused to

Suddenly the curtains were pulled

Savetsky, starting up and looking

Bennett finally suggested to Aunt Jo-

A few moments later, In the Dodge

tiers.
At the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in her
three visitors.
Entering the room, the medium at
once prepared for the seance by pull.

Suddenly an indistinct face was seen
to be peering through the black cur
tains. A voice, deep, sepulchral, was
heard in slow and solemn tones.
Il am Eeko-the spirit of Taylor

No sooner had the words been ut
