BY this time we had come in the
revenue cutter to the old dock that
was known as the Van bort jetty.
AS we swung around to it, with Ken
needy and Brainard | leaped out. We
gazed about, hunting for signs of the
opium smugglers. All was as still
as a grave, except for the ominous lap
ping Of the waves.
/ happened to look down at the
ground. There in the light of the Ian
tern / saw one of those square-toed
footprints which we had come to
know so well-the print of a Chinese
SHOE
The footprints led up from the dock
to an old, deserted, dilapidated house.
We paused moment before it. Just
then door opened and a Chinaman
appeared.
With cry he darted back. but we
were at him. There we're others In
side, too. but they were easily over
powered.
Prodding the retieent Celestials, We
retraced our steps to the jetty, Brain
ards men carrying the opium. At the
dock we loaded our prisoners and the
contraband on the cutter.
It was plain that although we had
captured the dope. the ship which had
brought it had escaped. and, worst of
ALL WI had again slipped through our
fingers
Brainard gave the order, and we
left the wharf. AS we stood gazing
from the captured opium to the prison
ers, Brainard was visibly eiated.
Shake" he said laconically to Craig
Whether it was that he was dis
appointed at the failure to land WI
or whether he had premonition that
all was not well, somehow Kennedy
did not share the citation. He extend
ed his hand mechanically.
Just then a buzz. as If bell had
rung startled us. 1t was so unexpect-
ed that l exclaimed, although the next
minute realized that it was from the
wireless telephone Craig had asked me
to bring from the laboratory.
Kennedy seized the box, opened It
hastily and clapped the little receiver
to his ear
"Hello-hello-yes this is Craig.
Where are you-what?"

Il think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge" persisted
Johnson.
1t was, however, merely a ruse on
his part to gain time and give some of
Wu,s men an opportunity For, as
the car approached the fork, two
roughnecks, hidden behind rock IN
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach Of the car had drawn back
closer under cover.
Johnson stopped some hundred feet
or so down the wrong road past the
rock In answer to Elaine's signal. 1t
was the chance the roughnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car or vehicle was
in sight. Quickly they skunk down the
road
AS Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stubbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her,
while huge, very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her mouth.
She struggled, but it was of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
Of the car. Johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat, from which
he had descended, leaving the engine
running.
ITO the Van bort jetty," growled
one roughneck. They'll be there
soon"
Quickly Johnson shot the car along
to the lower bay side of the island, In
stead of the New Jersey ferry.

1t was very late in the afternoon. I
did my best to get down to the Battery
with the wireless telephone to meet
Kennedy and Brainard, but 1t was dark
before got there.
AS hurried. down to the dock saw
that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting inn
patiently. 1t was fairly stable craft.
They hauled me aboard and we cast
of. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor,
keeping sharp lookout for any sus-
picious craft.

SYNOPSIS.


The New York police are mystified by a
series of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with "clutching hand. y The latest VIC
tim of the mysterious assassin is Taylor
Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Ken
nedy. the famous scientific detective, to
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
nedy accomplishes is told by his friend,
Jameson, a newspaper man.. After many
fruitless attempts to put Elaine and
Craig Kennedy out of the way the Clutch
ing Hand is at last found to be none other
than Perry Bennett. Elaine's lawyer and
the man she is engaged to marry. BEN
nett fees to the den of one of his Chi
nese criminals. The Chinaman forces from
Bennett the secret of the whereabouts of
". 100000. Then he gives the lawyer po-
ton which will suspend animation for
months. Kennedy reaches Benefits side
just after he has lost consciousness.

A Big Yield of Oats.

W. b. Nilsson reports the largest
yield Of oats that we have any know
ledge OF thus far this season, as 20
acres of oats yielded 1851 bushels
according to the machine measure.
The oats was raised on the HOLSTER
Perrine holdings, Y miles south
west OF town and were threshed last
week. The oats were planted on
clover sod, but very late in the sea-
son, receiving two good waterings.
AS will be seen the yield represents
fraction less than 100 bushels to
the acre, and Mr.. Millson is satisfied
that If the ground were accurately
measured It would be found that the
average exceeded this amount, as
there were some rocky places In the
Geld. and other spots where seed was
not sown. However, even with the
full 20 acres the yield is certainly
very gratifying one, and is only an
other evidence of what can be done
on North Side farms.
