SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by a
series of murders and other crimes. The

signed with a "clutching hand" The lat
est victim of the mysterious assassin is
Taylor Dodge, the insurance president.
His daughter. Elaine, employs Craig Ken
nedy, the famous scientific detective. to
nedy accomplishes is told by his friend
Jameson, a newspaper man. Enraged at
the determined effort which Elaine and
Craig Kennedy are making to put an end
to his crimes the Clutchng Hand, as
this strange criminal is known, resorts to
all sorts of the most diabolical schemes to

tective uses all his skill to save this pretty
girl and himself from death.

attendants hurried up to the door.
Without a word the doctor seemed to
appreciate the gravity of the case.
He finished his examination and
shook his head.
There is no hope--no hope" he
said slowly.
Kennedy merely stared at him. But
the rest of us instinctively removed
our hats.
Kennedy gazed at Elaine, overcome
Was this the end?
1t was not many minutes later that
Kennedy had Elaine in the little sit
ting room off the laboratory, having
taken her there in the ambulance,
with the doctor and two attendants.
Elaine's body had been placed on a
couch covered by a blanket, and the
shades were drawn. The light fell on
her pale face.
There was something incOngruous
about death and the vast collection of
scientific apparatus, a CHASTITY mock
ing of humanity How futile was it
all in the presence of the great de-
stroyer!
Aunt Josephine had arrived,
stunned, and a moment later Perry
Bennett. AS looked at the sorrowfuI
party Aunt Josephine rose slowly
from her position on her knees, where.
she had been weeping silently beside
Elaine, and pressed her hands over
her eyes, with every indication of
faintness.
Before any of us could do anything,
she had staggered into the laboratory
itself. Bennett and l followed quick
ly. There l was busy for some time
getting restoratives.
Meanwhile Kennedy, beside the
couch, with an air of desperate deter
mination, turned away and opened
cabinet. From it he took large coil
and attached it to a storage battery,
dragging the peculiar apparatus near
Elaine's couch.
To an electric light socket Craig
attached wires. The doctor watched
him in silent wonder.
Doctor" he asked slowly as he
worked, do you know of Professor
Leduc of the Nantes School of Medi-
cine?"
"Why-yes," answered the doctor.
"but what of him.
Then you know of his method Of
electrical resuscitation"
"Yes-but" paused, looking ap-
prehensively at Kennedy.
Craig paid no attention to his fears,
but, approaching the couch on which
Elaine lay, applied the electrodes.
"You see," he explained, with forced
calmness, Il apply the anode here

!, The ambulance surgeon looked on
excitedly, as Craig turned on the cur
rent, applying it to the back of the
neck and to the spine,
For some minutes the machine
} worked.
Then the young doctors eyes began
to bulge.
"My heavens" he cried under his
breath. Look"
Elaine's chest had slowly risen and
fallen. Kennedy, his attention riveted
on his work. applied himself with re-
doubled efforts. The young doctor
looked on with increased wonder.
Look! The color in her face! See
her lips!" he cried.
At last her eyes slowly fiuttered
open-then closed.
Would the machine succeed? Or
was it Just the galvanic effect of the
2 current? The doctor noticed it and

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. March O.
Though the field is still damp and a
cold wind blew across it, Manager
Griffith had his players out before 10
o'clock this morning. AMI put them
through a strenuous practice. The
youngsters in particular were given a
chance to show what they could do
with the bat. Engel. Thormahlen and
Stevens pitching to them for nearly an
hour BY this afternoon it is expected
that the infield will be dried out suf-
ficiently to allow fielding practice, so
that the day, as whole, Will have
been one of fairly good work.
This morning was the first time that
the three new outfielders were seen In
action. Rondeau, Massey and Brown
took part in the batting pracice and all
of them made good impression. Mas
sey and Brown are left-handed hltters,
while Rondeau is right-handed. One
thing is certain, and that is that Mas
sey is fast on his feet. When in col
lege he ran on the track team and was
very fast, and he is one of those chop
by hiters that worry the infield. Brown
is much like Massey, though he lacks
his speed.
Rondeau looks to be a natural hitter.
