He gazed about keenly. Then he
took a 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 a mirror. At the other
end was an eye.piece, as nearly as l
could make out. :
"What is that?" I asked as he com.
pleted his work.
THAT? That is an instrument
something on the order Of a miniature
periscope," Craig replied, still at
work.
watched him, fascinated at his re.
sourcefulness. He %stealthily thrust
the mirror end of the periscope out
of the window and up toward the cor.
responding window upstairs. Then he
gazed eagerly through the eye-piece.
"Walter-look!" he exclaimed to
me.
I did. There, sure enough, was Mi.
chael, pacing up and down the room.
AS I looked at him nervously walk
ing to and fro, I could not help ad-
hitting that things looked safe enough
and all right to me. Kennedy folded
the periscope up and we left our
room, mounting the remaining flight
Of stairs.
In fifty-nine we could hear the
measured steps of the footman. Craig
The Dickinson press., 1915-04-24

Well" added Craig, you see, MI.

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.
1t is a trap"
Kennedy had evidently considered
my objection already.
1T may be a 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 a drawer of a 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, I CO." I cap1tulated.
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.
Here's the place." he announced,
stopping across the street from a
dingy Raines law hotel.
Pretty tough" I objected. Are you
sure?":
Quite" replied Kennedy, consulting
his notebook again.
Reluctantly I followed and we en-.
tered the place.
II want a room," asked Craig as
we were accosted by the proprietor,
comfortably clad in a loud checked
suit and striped shirt sleeves. II had
one here once before-forty.nine, l.
think"
Fifty" I began to correct.
Kennedy trod hard on my toes.
Eyes, ~forty-nine," he repeated.
The proprietor called a stout negro
porter, waiter and bell-hop all COM
bined in one, who led us upstairs.
"Forty:nine, sah," he pointed out,
as Kennedy dropped a dime into his
ready palm.
, The negro left us, and as Craig
started to enter, I objected. But
Craig, 1t was ifty-nine, not forty-nine.
This is the wrong ROOM"
II know it," he replied. II had It
written in the book. But I want forty
nine-now. Just follow me, Walter"
Nervously I followed him into the
room. -
Don't, you understand" he went
u. Room forty-nine is probably just

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
nedy advanced.
"Why-what is the matter?" asked
Craig ~anxiously.
Doctor Hayward shook his head du-
biously, but Kennedy did not notice
him, for, as he approached Elaine, she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed it a letter and handed it 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
teri"
Doctor Hayward continued shaking
his head. Il cannot diagnose her
| symptoms" he shrugged.
There seemed to be a faint odor, al
most as If of garlic, in the room. 1t
was unmistakable and Craig looked
about him curiously, but said nothing.
AS he shifted, he moved impatiently
and his foot touched Rusty, under the
bed. Rusty whined and moved back
lazily. Craig bent over and looked
at him.
whats the matter with Rusty?" he
asked. lis 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. II
wouldn't think of being without him
now"
MAY I take Rusty along with me?"
Craig asked finally.
Elaine hesitated. Surely" she said
at length, "only be gentle with him."
i. "Of course" he said simply. II
thought that I 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
wal fighting in the dark.
Back in the laboratory, Kennedy set
to work Immediately, brushing every.
thing else aside. He began by draw.
