Holding his hand over her mouth to prevent her scream ing, he snatched the revolver away be- fore she could fire It.

 Just then the police burst through the secret panel and rushed on. leav- ing us alone, with the unconsc cions, scarcely breathing Elaine.
 From the sounds we could tell that they had come to the private room of the Clutching Hand It was empty

 Who was that man who left you iast-the Clutching Hand?'
 Not word came from tho crook. Doctor Martin had paid no alton tion whatever to him. but was work. ing desperately now over Elaine, try ing to bring her back 10 life. 'Is she-going to-die7" gasped Craig frantically. Every eye was riveted on Doctor | Martin.
