complishes is told by his friend Jameson.
newspaper man. Enraged at the deter
mined effort which Elaine and Craig Ken
nedy are making to put an end to his
crimes, the Clutching Hand, as this
strange criminal is known. resorts to all
sorts of the most diabolical schemes to put

and himself from death.

Craig donned the rough clothes of
the porter and added a limp and a
wig. The same sort of exchange of
clothes was made by me, and Craig
clapped Vandyke beard on my
chin"

nedy. "You must smuggle us out OF
the house some way
Kennedy lost no time in confirm
ing the suspicious of his bolometer as
to the cause of the death of the in
nocent victims of the Vaccinations Of
the Clutching Hand.
Both of them, he had learned, had
been removed to a nearby undertake
ing shop, awaiting the verdict of the
coroner. We sought out the shop
and prevailed on the undertaken to
let us see the bodies.
AS Kennedy pulled down the shroud
from the face of the first victim he
disclosed on his forehead a round
dark spot about the size of a small
coin Quickly he moved to the next
coffin and, uncovering the face, dis
closed a similar mark.
What is it?" | asked, awe-struck.

courtesy and went out
Meanwhile Elaine had called up Per
ry Bennett.

"Who?" he answered.; 81 give it up"
"Mr. Kennedy and Mr.. Jameson"
she called back.

that fine? l didn't think he was the
kind to run away like that. How did

"Bon Voyage" Cried Elaine, 6ravely
as he rejoined him on the dock, CIV
ing a nod of his head and jerk Of
his thumb at the ship.
Eyes" added the other crook, "and
lost most Of their baggage, too"
Slowly the car proceeded through
the streets up from the river front,
followed by the taxicab, until at last
the Dodge mansion was reached.
Elaine sighed moodily as she walked
slowly in.
Here, Marie" she cried petu-
lantly to her maid, take these wraps
of mine"
A moment later Aunt Josephine left
her and Elaine went into the library
and over to a table. She stood there
an instant, then sank down into a
chair, taking up Kennedys picture
and gazing at 1t with eyes filled with
tears.
Just then Jennings came into the
room, ushering the two porters laden
with the boxes and bags.
where shall have them put these
things, Miss Elaine?" he inquired.
"Oh-anywhere," she answered hur-
riedly, replacing the picture.
Jennings paused. AS he did so,
one of the porters limped forward
1--WE a message for you, MISS" he
said in a rich Irish brogue, with look
at Jennings, ito be delivered in pri-
vate."
Elaine glanced at him surprised.
Then she nodded to Jennings, who
disappeared. Az he did So the Irish
man limped to the door and drew to-
gether the portieres.
Then he came back closer to Elaine.
A moment she looked at him, not
quite knowing from his strange ac-
/ tions whether to call for help or not.
At a motion from Kennedy, as he
pulled off his wig, ! pulled off the
little false beard.
Elaine looked at us, transformed,
startled.
"Wh-what"-she stammered. ooh
I'm-so-glad. How"
Kennedy said nothing. He was
thoroughly enjoying her face.
Don't you understand ex-
planned, laughing merrily. II admit
that l didn't, until that last minute
in the stateroom on the boat when
we didn't come back to wave last
good-by. But all the care that Craig
took in selecting the porters was the
result of work he did yesterday, and
the insistence with which he chose
our travelling clothes had deep-laid
purpose.
THE change was made quickly in
the stateroom. Kennedy's man threw
on the coat and hat he wore. while

enough time to dodge through and
slam the secret door in the faces of
the squad as they rushed in.
Back of the house Clutching Hand
and the other crooks were now pass
ing through a bricked passage. The
fire had got so far beyond control by
this time that it drove the police back
from their efforts to open the secret
door. Thus the Clutching Hand had
made good his escape through the
passage which led out, as we later dis.
covered, to the railroad tracks along
the river.
Down Therein. Kennedy-and
Mr.. Jameson" cried Elaine, pointing
at the trap which was hidden in the
strife
The fire had gained terrific head
way, but the police seized a ladder
and stuck it down into the basement.
Choking and suffering, half-suffo-
Gated, we staggered up.
"Are you hurt?" asked Elaine, anx-
iously, taking Craig's arm.

piled, forgetting all In meeting the
eager questioning of her wonderful
eyes.

'In there" pointed Kennedy, quick
ly to the porters, indicating our state
room, which was an outer room.
"Come, Walter"
followed him in with heavy
heart.
lister faces in the crowd watching in
tently, with eyes fixed on the state
room. Finally one of the crooks
boarded the ship hastily, while the
other watched the TWO porters come
out of the stateroom and pause at the
window, speaking back into the room
as though answering commands.
Then the porters quickly ran along
the deck and down the plank to get
the rest OF the luggage.
They took a small, but very heavy
box and, Juggling and Juggling, fastened
toward the boat with it. But they
were too late. The gangplank was be-
ing hauled in.
They shouted, but the ships officers
waved them back.
The porters argued. But it was no
use. All they could do was to carry
the box back to the Dodge car.
Miss Dodge was just getting in as
they returned.
what shall we do with this and
the other stuff" asked the Irish por-
ter.
She looked at the rest Of the tagged
luggage and the box which was
marked:
Scientific instruments

Handle With Care!
"Here-pile them in there" she
said, indicating the taxicab. "I'll take
care of them"
Meanwhile one Of our sinister-faced
friends had just had time to regain
the shore after following us aboard
ship and strolling past the window
Of our stateroom. He paused long
enough to observe one Of the occu-
pants studying a map, while the other
was opening a bag.
They're gone!" he said to the other

ment listening at the portieres, in
tensely interested.
AS Bennett hung up the receiver
Thomas entered the room.
IF anyone calls me-" ordered Ben
nett, take the message, particularly
If it is from Miss Dodge"
Yes, sir" nodded the valet with a
covert glance at his master.
1t was not long afterward that a
knock sounded at the door Of the new
headquarters Of the Clutching Hand
LeCroix and the secretary were there,
as we'll as couple Of others.
THE Chief" exclaimed one.
The secretary opened the door,
and, sure enough, the Clutching Hand
entered
There came another knock. This
time, as the door opened, 1t was
Thomas, BENEFITS faithless valet, who
entered.
Say" blurted out the informer, edo
you know Kennedy and jameson are
back?"
Dam CilCu tbO SlOOhos
Eyes - they didn't go. Changed
clothes with the porters. l just heard
Miss Dodge telling Mr.. Bennett"
Clutching Hand eyed him keenly,
then seemed to burst into an ungov-
ernable fury.
Quickly he began volleying orders
at the valet and the others. Then,
with the secretary and two of the
other crooks he left by another door
from that by which he had sent the
valet.
Leaving the undertakers, Kennedy
and l made our way, keeping off
thoroughfares, to police headquarters,
where, after making ourselves known,
Craig made arrangements for a raid
on the house across the street from
the laboratory where he had seen the
opera glass reflection.
Then, as secretly as we had come,
we went out again, letting ourselves
into the laboratory, stealthily looking
up and down the street. We entered
by a basement door, which Kennedy
carefully locked again.
No sooner had we disappeared than
one of the Clutching Hands spies,
who had been watching behind bar
rel OF rubbish, gave the signal Of the
hand down the street to a confeder-
ate, and, going to the door, entered by
means Of a skeleton key.
We entered our laboratory which
Kennedy had closed the day before.
With shades drawn 1t now looked de-
serted enough.
Kennedy went over to a cabinet,
and from Il took out a notebook and

"Outside-a raid! Run! He's told

"Outside-a raid! Run! He's told
them!"
Already we could hear the ham,
mers and axes of the police whom
Kennedy had called upon before. as,
they battered at this outside door.
At that door a moment before the
lookout suddenly had given startled
stare and suppressed cry. CHANGING
down the street he had seen police
patrol in which were a score or more
Of the strong-arm squad. They had
hammers, others axes.
Almost before he could cry out and
retreat to give a warning they had
reached the door and the first re-
sounding blows had been struck.
The lookout quickly had fed and
drawn the bolts of a strong inner
door, and the police began battering
that impeachment.
Instantly Clutching Hand turned to
LeCroix at the Fray machine.
Finish them!" he shouted.
We were now backed up against a
small ell in the wall of the cellar. It
was barely large enough to hold us,
but by crowding we were able to keep
out of the reach of the ray. The ray
shot past the ell and struck the wall
couple of inches from us.
/ looked The cement began to
crumble under the intense heat.
Meanwhile the police were having
great difficulty with the steel bolt
studded door. Still it was yielding a
bit.
Hurry" shouted Clutching Hand
to LeCroix
Kennedy had voluntarily placed him
self in front Of me in the ell. Carefully,
to avoid the ray, he took the asbestos
platinum shield from his pocket and
slid it forward as best he could over
the wall to the spot where the ray
struck.
1t reflected the ray.
But so powerful was IL that even
that part Of the ray which was defect
ed could be seen to strike the ceiling
in the corner, which was of wood In
stantly, before Kennedy could even
move the shield, the wood burst into
flames.
Above us now smoke was pouring
into the room where the DETECTED ray
struck the floor and flames broke out.
"Confound him!" ground out Clutch
ing Hand, as they saw it.
The other crooks backed away and
stood hesitating, not knowing quite
what to do.
The police had by this time finished
battering in the door and had rushed
into the outer passage.
While the flames leaped up, the
crooks closed the last door into the
room.
RUM" shouted Clutching Hand, as
they opened a secret gate, disclosing
a spiral flight Of iron steps.
A moment later all had disappeared
except Clutching Hand himself. The
last door would hold only few Sec
onds, but Clutching Hand was waiting
to take advantage of even that. With
last frantic effort he sought to d.
rect the terrible ray at us. Elaine
acted instantly With all her strength
she rushed forward, overturning the
machine.
Clutching Hand uttered a growl and
slowly raised his gun, taking aim with
the butt for a well-directed blow at
her head
Just then the door yielded and
policeman stuck his head and shout

and Clutching Hands automatic few

a small box. Opening the notebook on
the laboratory table, he rapidly turned
the pages.
Here, Walter" he remarked. This
will answer your question about the
mysterious deadly ray"
moved over to the table, eager to
satisfy my curiosity and read the
notes which he indicated with his
finger.
