she paused long enough to speak

"Stay here and watch him." she
whispered as she went out.
Jennings nodded. while Dan opened

Elaine now decided to go home.
From his closed car, the Clutching
Hand gazed intently at the Dodge
house. He could see Dan on the lad

Dan turned slowly and made the
sign Of the hand. Turning to his
chauffeur, the master criminal spoke
a few hurried words in low tone and
the driver hurried soff.
A few minutes later the driver
might have been seen entering near
by drug store and going into the tele-

Marie went toward the library, leav-

was washing tho windows, half in

nings was trying to be very busy. al
though It was apparent that he was
watching Dan closely.
"A friend OF yours wants to speak
to you over the telephone, jennings"
said Marie, as she came into the
library.
The butler responded slowly. with a
covert glance at Dan.
No sooner had they gone. however,
than Dan climbed all the way into the
room. ran to the door and looked after
them. Then he ran to the window,

the time.
Once, however. Craig paused. and ]
saw him listening more intently than
usual.

but surely there is some one In the

II listened. too. The thing was 60
sensitive that even q whisper could
be magnified. and certainly did hear
something.
Kennedy frowned. What was that
scratching noise? Could It be Jen.
ningsf Perhaps It was Rusty.
Just then we could distinguish q
sound as though someone had moved
about.
"No--that's not jennings" cried
Craig. "He went out"
He looked at me a moment The
same stealthy noise was repeated.
TITS the Clutching Hand" he ex-
claimed excitedly.
A moment later Dan hurried into
the Dodge library.
For heavens sake, Chief. hurry"
he whispered hoarsely. 1.-THE Falsers
must have fallen down. The girl her
self is coming!"
Dan himself had no time to waste.
He retreated into the hallway just as
Jennings was opening the door for
Elaine.
Marie took her wraps and left her.
while Elaine handed her numerous
packages to Jennings.
Dan watched every motion.
Put them. away, jennings" she
said softly.
Jennings had obeyed and gone up
stairs. Elaine moved toward the II
brary Dan took quiet step or two
behind her. in the same direction.
In the library Clutching Hand was
now frantically searching for the
spring. He heard Elaine coming and
lodged behind the curtains again just
as she entered.
With hasty look about, she saw
no one. Then she went quickly to the
panel, found the spring and pressed
It. SO many queer things had hap
pened to her since she went out that
she had begun to worry over the safe
ty Of the papers.
The panel opened. They were there,
all right. She opened the box and
took them ont. hesitating to break the

along the crowded sidewalk.
Dan the Dude left Billy and Billy
surreptitiously drew from under his

glance about, he dropped II into the
gutter close to the entrance Ia

piece of bread in the gutter. he made
dive for It, just as Elaine was about
to step into the car.
Elaine. surprised, drew back. Billy
picked up the piece of bread and with
all the actions Of having discovered q
treasure began to gnaw at It vora'
ciously.
Shocked at the disgusting sight, she
tried to take the bread away from
him.

Billy. but it's the first food I've seen

On they went, through the tenement

at a butchers and q delicatessen.
Finally the car stopped where Billy

piled high with provisions. She was

In the meantime Dago Mike and
Kitty the Hawk had gone to a wretch

Kitty sat on the bed, putting dark
circles under her eyes with a black

He had paused beside the window
