that Aunt Josephine must go. your
father cannot speak while she is pres
ent."
Aunt Josephine, annoyed by what
she had heard, Indignantly refused to
go and was deaf to all Elaine's plead
ings.
4 think 1t will be all right finally
acquiesced Bennett, seeing how bent
Elaine was on securing the message.
'T'll stay and protect her."
Aunt Josephine finally agreed. VERY
well. then" she protested, marching
out Of the room in a high state of
indignation.
She had scarcely left the house,
however. when she began to suspect
that all was not as It ought to be. In
fact, the idea had no sooner occurred
to her than she decided to call on
Kennedy and she ordered the chauf-
feur to take her as quickly as possible
to the laboratory.
Kennedy had not been In the labo-
ratory all the day after my expert

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 tho others
were engaged in terrible life and
death struggle.
Finally, Long Sin, Selling a large
wallhanging, 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 IL 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. ss
if he had message to deliver.
Kennedy frowned suspiciously He
was about to turn away when the CHI
naman began pleading earnestly for 3
chance to say few words.
"Step aside for moment, you fell
lows. won't you, please?" he asked. Il
will hear what you have to say. Long

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'a ear.
Craig started back in horror and auz-
prise.

Jennings entered with . card On .

Jennings entered with card on Q
salyer. Elaine took 1t and saw with
surprise the name Of her caller:
MADAME sAVETSKY,
Medium.
Beneath the engraved name were
the words written in ink: Il have a
message from the spirit of your fa'

Eyes, will see her." cried Elaine
eagerly, In response to the buffers in
CURRY.
She followed Jennings into the ad
joining room and there found herself
face to face with the hard-featured
woman who had only a few moments
before left the Clutching Hand.
Elaine looked rather than spoke hei
inquiry.
Your father, my DEAR" purred the
medium, with great pretence Of sup
pressed excitement. appeared to me

deliver message to you"
What was the messenger" asked
Elaine breathlessly, now aroused to
intense interest.
Il must go into trance again to gel
it," replied the insinuating Sayetsly
"and II you like can try it at once
provided we can be left alone long

Seated in her chair. the medium
muttered wildly for few moments
rolled her eyes and with some con
vulsive movements pretended to go In
to a trance.
Suddenly the curtains we're pulled

Il can do nothing here" exclaimed
Savetsky, starting up and looking
about severely. you must come to
my seance chamber where we shall
rot be interrupted"
Il WILL" said Elaine, vexed at the
intrusion at that moment. Il must
have that message must"
Whats all this, Elaine?" demanded
Aunt Josephine.
Hurriedly, Elaine poured forth to
her aunt and Bennett the story of the
mediums visit and the promised mes
sage from her father in the other
world.
Aunt Josephine, who was not one
easily to be imposed on, strongly OBJ
jected to Elaines proposal to accom-
pany Savetsky to the seance chamber
but Elaine would not be denied.
at might be safe for Elaine to go,
Bennett finally suggested to Aunt 10
sephine, "if you and 1 accompanied
her."
A few moments later, In the Dodge
car, Elaine, the medium and her two
escorts started for the Chinese quar-
tiers.
At the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in heI
three visitors.
Entering the room, the medium al
once prepared for the seance by pull
ing down the window shades.
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
Dodge, I will give no message until
one named Josephine leaves the
ROOM"
No sooner had the words been ut
tered than the medium came writing
out of her trance.
What happened?" she asked, look
ing at Elaine.
Elaine reported the spirits words

she must have caught sight Of one or
two of the policemen who had incau-
tiously exposed themselves from the
hiding place in which had disposed
them before we entered. At any rate
Savetsky did not lose a Joe of her re-
markable composure.
I'm sorry" she remarked merely,
but I'm afraid my control Is weak
and cannot work today"
She took step toward the door,
motioning us to leave. Neither Of us
paid any attention to the hint, but re-
manned seated as we had been be-
fore.
Almost before knew what she was
doing, she made dash for something
in the corner of the room. 1t was
time for open action, and l seized her
quickly.
My detective was on his feet in an
instant.
I'll take care of her." he ground
out, seized her wrists in his viselike
grasp. you give the signal"
rushed to the window, threw up
the shade and opened the sash, wav-
ing our preconcerted sign and turned
again toward the room.
With a sudden accession Of desper-
ate strength, Savetsky broke away
from the plainclothes man and again
attempted to get at something con-
cealed on the wall. / had turned just
in time to fling myself between her
and whatever object she had in mind.

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 II to command atten-
ton.
"This is nonsense" he cried in a
loud voice. ''Why should our great
Ksing Chou desire a 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 iiu-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
