Paris.-The Bulletin des Armees
gives the following explanation Of the
origin OF the name "Vitriers" (glass
cutters), formerly given 10 the Alpine
Chasseurs:
II was during the revolution of
1S4S when the shopkeepers OF the
Rues du Cygne, du Cloitre Saint
Jacques, Saint Denis and Saint Mar
tin raised barricades In the streets
that the Chasseurs were brought from
Versailles 10 charge them. They were
received with fire from between the
stats OF window blinds as well as from
the barbados. The officer in COM
mand summoned the inhabitants to
open their blinds and windows.
Every pane in the windows that
were not promptly opened was in
stantly smashed. Two days later, af-
ter the success OF the revolution. the
chasseurs marched back to Versailles
and the people OF Paris amused them
selves in their usual way by joking
them with such quips as there are the

Capetowu.-The alleged methods OF
the Germans in poisoning the water
! supply when forced 10 retreat in South
Africa are thus described in a dis
patch from British officer at Aus,
German Southwest Africa:
All the wells and boreholes at Aus
had been damaged and the water
/ spoiled by putting large quantities of
! creosote in IL. IN the wells they put
the creosote in a tin, which had a
small hole in the top through which a
piece Of cord passed. The tin was
wired 20 the bottom OF the well, and
this of course ensured a continual
pollution for good while if the tin
was not removed.
las it happened. some Of the wells
were soon emptied and the tins thus
discovered. so we soon had sweet wa
ter 10 drink, but for three or four
days all our drinks, tea and coffee
and even milk. were favored with a
strong carboHc bouquet. We had to
put up with it, though it was far from
palatable."
The same writer describes the dan
ger from land mines left behind by
the retreating Germans; "PlateaUs
and mountain sides were soon found
20 be sprinkled with contact mines,
very cleverly buried or concealed by
rocks and gravel. Generally we drove
mules or cattle over the suspected
ground ahead OF US. Only two OF the
Mines at Aus did any particular dam
age on exploding They killed four
mules and one horse and wounded an
officer NfneTv-fva pf the mines have
been dug up by the engineers, but vii
layers say that the Germans planted
over four hundred, so there are pos
sibly many more yet TO be discovered.
We move about in the outskirts cir
cumspectly like cats, and take care to
avoid places suitable for mines"

At that moment we were startled
by the sudden appearance Of Elaine.
She entered the room carrying in
her arms huge bunch Of roses which
she had evidently just received.
The moment she saw Craig, how
ever, she stopped short with look Of
great surprise.
Her keen eye had not missed the
fact that several Of her letters lay
scattered over the top Of the desk.
What are you doing with my; let
tiers, Mr.. Kennedy" she asked, in an
astonished tone, evidently resenting
the unceremoniousness with which he.
had apparently been overhauling her
correspondence.
As guardedly as possible, Kennedy
met her inquiry, which ] could not
myself blame her for making.

be said. but a matter has just come
up which necessitated merely a cur
sorry examination of some purely for
NAL letters which might have an inn
portant bearing on the discovery of
the Clutching Hand. Your aunt had
no idea where you were, nor when you
might return, and the absolute neces-
sity for haste In such an important
matter is my only excuse for examin-
ing few minor letters without first
obtaining your permission"
She said nothing. At another time
such an explanation would have been
instantly accepted. Now, however, It
was different. s
Kennedy read the look on her face
and an instant later turned to Aunt
Josephine and myself.
Il would very much appreciate
chance to say few words to Miss

Bennett. BY another effort, seemed

changed the subject abruptly, and the
conversation was resumed, with some
constraint.

The boy merely indicated the door

We found the secretary hard at
work at the typewriter, copying q

The secretary rose IN surprise. but
Craig paid no attention to him. In

bent over, and: together we COM
pared the rs with those In the Clutch
ing Hand letter. the paper from the
bomb and the letter which Craig had
taken from Elaine's desk. :
As Craig pointed out the resenn-
blances with pencil my amaze
ment gradually changed into
comprehension and comprehension
into conviction. The meaning of it all
began to dawn on me.
The writing was identical. There
were no differences!
While we were. locked in the secre-
tary's office Bennett and Elaine were
continuing their chat on various social
topics. Suddenly, however. with q
glance at the clock, Bennett told Elaine
that he had an important letter to, die
tate and that it must go OF at once.
She said that she would excuse him
few minutes, and he pressed q but
ton to call his secretary.
or course, the secretary did not APP
/ pear. Bennett left his Office. with
some annoyance, and went into the adj
joining room, the door to which Ken
nedy had not locked.
He hesitated a moment, then opened
the door quietly. To his establishment
he saw Kennedy, the secretary and
myself apparently making a close ex-
animation of the typewriter.
Gliding. rather than walking back
into his own Office. he closed the door
and locked it. Almost instantly fear
and fury at the presence of his hated
rival, Kennedy. turned Bennett, as 1t
were, from the Jekyll of polished
lawyer and lover of Elaine into an In
sanely jealous and reyengeful Mr..
Hyde, The strain was more than his
warped mind could bear.
With a look of intense horror and
loathing Elaine watched him slowly
change from the composed, calm, in
tellectual Bennett she knew and re-
spected into repulsive, mad figure of
a man.
His stature even seemed to be al
tered. He seemed to shrivel up and
become deformed. His face was terribly
distorted.
And his long, sinewy hand slowly
twisted and bent until he became the
personal embodiment of the Clutching
Hand. II. >..s i
