Doctor Hayward had arrived and had just finished taking the patients pulse and temperature as our cab pulled up.
 Elaine was quite ill indeed
 oh! I'm so glad to see you" she breathed with an air of relief as Ken nedy advanced
 "Why-what is the matter?a asked Craig anxiously.
 Doctor Hayward shook his head du- biously but Kennedy did not notice him, for, as he approached Elaine she concealed it letter and handed 1t to him.
 Craig took it and read:
 You are sick this morning. To. morrow you will be worse The next day you will die unless you discharge Craig Kennedy"
 At the signature of the Clutching Hand he frowned, then. noticing Doc. tor Hayward, turned to him and re. peated his question, What is the mat ter?"
 Doctor Hayward continued shaking his head. T cannot diagnose her symptoms" he shrugged
 There seemed to be faint odor, all most as if of garlic, in the room IL was unmistakable and Craig looked about him curiously, but said nothing
 As he sniffed. he moved impatiently and his foot touched Rusty, under the bed Rusty whined and moved back lazily Craig bent over and looked at him.
 What's the matter with Rusty?" he asked. 'Is he sick, too?"
 Why, yes" answered Elaine, fol- lowing Craig with her deep eyes
 Craig reached down and gently pulled the collie out into the room Rusty crouched down close to the floor. His nose was hot and dry and feverish. He was plainly ill.
 How long has Rusty been in the room?" asked Craig.
 All night" answered Elaine. "I wouldn't think of being without him now"
 May take Rusty along with me?" Craig asked finally.
 Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said at length, "only be gentle with him. ,"
 Of course" he said simply .I thought that might be able to dis cover the trouble from studying him" ,"
 We stayed only a few minutes longer. for Kennedy seemed to realize the necessity of doing something i'm mediately, and even Doctor Hayward was fighting in the dark.
 Back in the laboratory, Kennedy set to work immediately, brushing every thing else aside. He began by draw.

Well, added Craig, you see. Mi chael has become infuriated by the treatment he received from the Clutch ing Hand l believe he cuffed him in the face yesterday Anyway. he says he has determined to get even and be- tray him
 did not like the looks Of the thing, and said so Craig, l objected vehemently, don't go to meet him. It is a trap
 Kennedy had evidently considered my objection already.
 It may be trap, he replied slow ly. but Elaine is dying and we've got to see this thing through
 As he spoke, he took an automatic from drawer of cabinet and thrust it into his pocket. Then he went to another drawer and took out several sections of thin tubing, which seemed to be made to fasten together as a fishing pole is fastened, but were now separate, as if ready for travelling
 Then he went out. l followed still arguing
 If you go, l go" I capitulated. That's all there is to it"
 Following the directions that Mi chael had given over the telephone. Craig led me into one of the toughest parts of the lower West side.
 Heres the place" he announced, stopping across the street from dingy Raines law hotel.
 Pretty tough.s objected. Are you sure?"
 Quite, replied Kennedy, consulting his notebook again.
 Reluctantly l followed and we en- tered the place.
 T want room" asked Craig as We were accosted by the proprietor, comfortably clad in a loud checked suit and striped shirt sleeves. T had one here once before-forty-ni think
 Fifty I began to correct.
 Kennedy trod hard on my toes
 Yes forty-nine,' he repeated
 The proprietor called stout negro porter, waiter and bell-hop all con- bined in one, who led us upstairs.
 AForty-nine, sah," he pointed out, as Kennedy dropped dime into his ready palm.
 The negro left us. and as Craig started to enter, objected But, Craig, it was fifty not forty-1iue This is the wrong room"
 "I know if 3 he reo1ied stI had if written in the book. But I want forty rine-now. Just follow me, Walter
 Nervously l followed him into the room
 Don't you understand?" he went c, Room forty-nine is probably just

ing off little of Rustys blood in tube, very carefully
 Here, Walter," he said pointing to the little incision he had made, will you take care of him?"
 Quickly Craig made one test after another.
 As he did so I sniffed. There was an unmistakable odor of garlic in the air which made me think of what I had already noticed in Elaine's room.
 "Arseniuretted hydrogen" he an swered. still engaged in verifying his .ests. This is the Marsh test for arsenic"
 "Arsenic!" I repeated, in horror.
 I had scarcely recovered from the surprise of kennedy's startling reve- lation when the telephone rang again Kennedy seized the receiver, thinking evidently that the message might be from or about Elaine.
 But from the look on his face and from his manner. l could gather that, although it was not from Elaine her. self, 1t was about something that in- terested him greatly.
 "Good!' heard him say finally. T shall keep the appointment-abso- lutely"
 What was it9" asked, eagerly
 Tt was Elaine's footman, Michael" he replied thoughtfully As sus- pected, he says that he is confeder- ate of the Clutching Hand, and if we will protect him he will tell us the trouble with Elaine"

 He gazed about keenly Then he took few steps to the window and threw it open. As he stood there he took the parts of the rods he had been carrying and fitted them together un- til he had a pole some eight or ten feet long At one end was a curious arrangement that seemed to contain lenses and mirror At the other end was an eye-piece. as nearly as could make out
