and prevailed on the undertaken to

"Yes = they didn't go. Changed

boarded the ship hastily, while the
other watched the Two porters come
out OF the stateroom and pause at the

Then the porters quickly ran along

the squad as they rushed in.

and the other crooks were now pass

fire had got so far beyond control by
this time that it drove the police back
from their efforts to open the secret
door. Thus the Clutching Hand had
made good his escape through the
passage which led out, as we later dis
covered. to the railroad tracks along
the river.

Mr.. Jameson" cried Elaine, pointing
at the trap which was hidden in the
