Look, Walter" he exclaimed as he
drew out the paper from the machine.
| 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 resem-
blances with a 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-
tarys Office Bennett and Elaine were
continuing their chat on various social
topics. Suddenly, however, with a
glance at the clock, Bennett told Elaine
that he had an important letter to die
tate and that it must go off at once.
She said that she would excuse him
few minutes, and he pressed but
ton to call his secretary.
OF course, the secretary did not ap-
pear Bennett left his office, with
some annoyance, and went into the ad-
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 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 it
were, from the Jekyll of polished
lawyer and lover of Elaine into an in
sanely jealous and revengeful 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
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.
