 He had taken only step toward the library again when Dan watchfully caught sight of him. It would never do to have Jennings snooping around there now Quick action was neces- sary. Dan knocked over costly Sevres vase.

 \ few moments later, Dan appeared at the servants entrance of the Dodge house and rang the bell. Jennings, who happened to be down there, came to the door

 Now, Mrs. Dodge he said finally, as he had completed installing the thing and hiding the wire under car pets and rugs until it ran out to the connection which he made with the telephone, don't breathe word of it ito anyone We don't know whom to trust or suspect"
 Elaine's car had stopped finally at a shop on Fifth avenue. She stepped out and entered, leaving her chauffeur to wait
 As she did so, Dan and Billy sidled along the crowded sidewalk.
 Dan the Dude left Billy and Billy surreptitiously drew from under his coat a half loaf of bread. With a glance about, he dropped it into the gutter close to the entrance to Elaine's car. Then he withdrew lit tie distance.
 When Elaine came out and ap- preached her car Billy, looking as cold and forlorn as could be- shot for ward. Pretending to spy the dirty piece of bread in the gutter, he made a 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 a treasure began to gnaw at 1t vora- eiously.
 Shocked at the disgusting sight, she tried to take the bread away from him.
 T know it's dirty, miss.' whimpered Billy, "but it's the first food I've seen for four days
 Instantly Elaine was full of sym pathy. She had taken the food away That would not suffice.
 Whats your name, little boy?" she asked
 Billy" he replied, blubbering.
 Where do you liye?"
 With me mother and father they're sick-nothing to eat
 He was whimpering an address far over on the East side.
 Get into the ear,' Elaine directed.
 "Gee-but this is swell" he cried. with no fake, this time.
 On they went, through the tenement canyons, lodging children and push. carts. stopping first at a grocer's. then at a butchers and a delicatessen. Finally the car stopped where Billy directed. Billy hobbled out, followed Elaine and her chauffeur. his arms piled high with provisions. She was indeed lovely Lady Bountiful as a crowd Of kids quickly surrounded the car.
 In the meantime Dago Mike and Kitty the Hawk had gone to a wretch ed flat, before which Billy stopped. Kitty sat on the bed, putting dark circles under her eyes with black ened cork She was very thin and emaciated. but it was dissipation that had done it. Dago Mike was core spondingly poorly dressed.

 Kitty hastily jumped into the rick ety bed, while Mike took up eruteh that was standing idly in a corner. She coughed resignedly and he limped about, forlorn. They had assumed their parts, which were almost to the burlesque of poverty, when the door was pushed open and Billy burst in, followed by Elaine and the chauf. feur.
 'Oh, ma-oh, pa,' he cried, running forward and kissing his pseudo par. ents, as Elaine, overcome with sym. pathy, directed the chauffeur to lay the things on shaky table

Kennedy Shows Elaine the Little amining the order and finding it ap. parently all right.
 Dan followed him in, taking the lad der and bucket upstairs, where Aunt Josephine was still reading.
 s.The man to clean the windows, ma'am," apologized Jennings.
 "Oh. very we'll" she nodded, taking up her book, to go Then, recalling the frequent injunctions of Kennedy, she paused long enough to speak quietly to Jennings
 Stay here and watch him." she whispered as she went out.
 Jennings nodded, while Dan opened window and set to work.
 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 der, now washing the library window, his back toward him.
 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 off
 A few minutes later the driver might have been seen entering a near by drug store and going into the tele- phone booth. Without a moment S hesitation he called upon the Dodge house, and Marie, Elaine's maid an- swered
 eIs Jennings there2' he asked. Tell him a friend wants to speak to him..
 Wait a minute" she answered I'll get him
 Marie went toward the library leav- ing the telephone off the hook Dan was washing the windows, half in- side. half outside the house, while Jen- nings was trying to be very busy, all 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 she library
 The butler responded slowly, with covert glance at Dan.
 No sooner had they gene, however, than Dan climbed all the way into the room, ran to the door and looked after them Then ne ran to the window Across and down the street. the Clutching Hand was gazing at the house. He had seen Dan disannear and suspected that the time had come.
 Sure enough, there was the sign of the hand. He hastily got out of the car and hurried up the street All this time the chauffeur was keeping Jennings busy over the telephone with some trumped-up story.
 As the master criminal came in by the ladder through the open window, Dan was on guard. listening down the hallway. A signal from Dan, and Clutching Hand slid back of the DOT tieres. Jennings was returning
 I've finished these windows" an nounced Dan as the butler reappeared. Now, I'll clean the hall windows

 No sooner had they gone than Clutching Hand stealthily came from behind the portieres

 heard the window cleaner and Jen- nings, but thought nothing of it at the time
 Once, however Craig paused, and saw him listening more intently than usual
 They've gone out" he muttered, but surely there is some one in the Dodge library"
 T listened, too. The thing was so sensitive that even whisper could be magnified, and I certainly did hear something
 Kennedy frowned What was that scratching noise? Could 1t be Jen- nings? Perhaps it was Rusty.
 Just then we could distinguish a sound as though someone had moved about.
 "No-that's not Jennings" cried Craig. He went out"
 He looked at me moment. The same stealthy noise was repeated.
 It's the Clutehing Hand," he ex- claimed exeitedly.
 A moment later Dan hurried into the Dodge library
 For heavens sake, Chief hurry" he whispered hoarsely. 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 li- hrary Dan took quiet step or two behind her. in the same direction.
 Tn the library Clutching Hand was now frantically searching for the spring. He heard Elaine coming and dodged 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 10 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 out, hesitsting to break the seal before Kennedy arrived
 Stealthy and tigerlike, the Clutch ing Hand crept up behind her. As he did so. Dan gazed in through the DOT tieres from the hall
 With spring, Glutching Hand leaped at Elaine, snatehing at the pa pers. Elaine clung to them tenacious ly, in spite of the surprise, and they struggled for them, Clutching Hand holding one hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming Instantly Dan was there, aiding his chief.
 Choke her, Strangle her. Don't, let her scream,' he ground out.
 They fought viciously. Would she succeed? It was two desperate. un- scrupulous men against one frail girl. Suddenly. from the man in armor

 She laid marked emphasis on the word, pursing up her lips. There was no mistaking the apprehension that these fine birds of prey had of her, either.
