Seated in her chair, the medium
muttercd wildly for a few m3meu. s..
rolled her eyes and with some cen
vulsive movements pretended to go in
to a trance.
Suddenly the curtains were pulled
aside and Aunt Josephine and Ben
nett. who had Just come in, entered.
Il can DO nothing here" exclaimed
Savetsky, starting up and looking
about severely. You must come to
my scance chamber where We shall
rot be interrupted"

intrusion at that moment. Il must

What's all this, Elaine?" demanded
Aunt Josephine.
HurrieGly, Elaine poured forth to
her aunt and Bennett the story of the

sage from her father in the other
world.
Aunt Josephine, who was not one
easily to be imposed on, strongly OBJ
jected to Elaine's proposal to accom-
pany Savetsky to the seance chamber,
but Elaine would not be denied.
1T might be safe for Elaine to 60"
Bennett finally suggested to Aunt 10
sephine, "if you and l accompanied
her"
A few moments later, in the Dodge
car, Elaine, the medium and her two
escorts started for the Chinese quar-
tiers.
At the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in her
three visitors.
Entering the room, the medium at
once prepared for the seance by pull
ing down the window shades.
Suddenly an indistinct face was seen
to be peering through the black cur
tc.rs. A voice, deep, sepulchral, was
heard in slow and solemn tones.
Il an Eeko-the spirit of Taylor
Dodge. I will give no message until
che named Josephine leaves the

No sooner had the words been ut
tered than the medium came writing
out of her trance.

Elaine reported the spirits words.

for that purpose.
Meanwhile Kennedy and the others
We're engaged in a terrible life and
death struggle.
Finally, Long Sin, Selling a large
wall-hanging. leaped upon Kennedy
from the back and threw 1t over his
head, almost suffocating him.
1t was just as the Chinese was about
to overpower him that l led the pc
lice and detectives through the pas
sageway of the fireplace.
1t was a glorious fight that followed.
But Long Sin and his Cinnamon were
no match for the police and were soon
completely routed, the police striking
furiously in all directions and clearing
the room.
Instantly Kennedy thought OF the
fair object of all this melee. He
rushed to the divan on which he had
placed Elaine.
AS she opened her eyes for an In
slant she gazed at Craig, then at Ben
nett Still not comprehending just
what had happened, she gave her hand
to Bennett. Bennett lifted her to her
feet and slowly assisted her as she
tried to walk away.
Kennedy watched them, more stupe-
fed than II he had been struck over

gently out.
A young detective had slipped the
bracelets over Long Sins wrist, and l
was standing beside him.
Kennedy, in a daze at the sight Of
Elaine and Bennett, passed US, scarce
ly noting who we were.
AS Craig collected his scattered
forces Long Sin motioned to him, as
if he had message to deliver.
Kennedy frowned suspiciously. He
was about to turn away when the Chi
naman began pleading earnestly for a
chance TO say few words.
"Step aside for moment, you fell
lows, won't you, please?" he asked. Il
will hear what you have to say, Long

Long Sin looked about craftily.
"What is it," prompted Craig, see
ing that at last they we're all alone.
Long Sin again looked around.
Swear that l will go free and not
suffer" he whispered. land I will be-
tray the great Clutching Hand"
Kennedy studied the Chinaman
keenly for a moment. Then, seeming
~ satisfied with the scrutiny. he nod

AS Craig did so, saw Long Sin lean
over and whisper into Kennedy's ear.
Craig started back In horror and sur

again toward the room.
With a sudden accession of desper-

from the plainclothes man and again
attempted to get at something COLI

in time to fling myself between her
and whatever object she had in mind.

was being held by the Cinnamon,
while her arm was smeared with
sticky, black material from the caul-

Suddenly the aged Chinaman with

up his hand as if to command atten-

This is nonsense he cried in q
loud voice. "Why should our great

Shaking with rage, Long Sin or
dered the intruder off the dais. But
the aged devotee refused to go.
Throw him out" he ordered his at
tendants.
For answer, as the two young
Cinnamon approached, the old China
man threw them down to the
floor with a quick iiu-jitsu movement.
Furious now beyond expression.
Long Sin stepped forward. He seized
the beard and queue of the intruder.
TO his utter amazement they came
off!
II was Kennedy.
With his automatic drawn, before
the astonlshed devil dancers could
recover themselves, Craig stood at

Elaine was on securing the message.

out Of the room in a high state of
indignation.

that all was not as 1t ought to be. In
