EDITORIAL OPINION

While the public is not concerned
in these old-time feuds. il is alive to
the necessity of having its bank adj
ministration conducted on such
high plane that there can be no pos
sible ground for any institution ap-
pealing to the courts for protection.
If the bank is in error It should be
so severely chastened that it will be
an example to tell all others not
to invoke the law in order to hide
its own shortcomings. If the Secre-
tary and the Comptroller have been
guilty of the grave charge made they
are unfit to hold their positions of
life and death over the banks in
which the people have billions of dol
lars.

At that moment we were startled by the sudden appearance of Elaine
 She entered the room carrying in her arms a huge bunch of roses which she had evidently just received.
 The moment she saw Craig. how ever, she stopped short with look of great surprise.
 Her keen eye had not missed the fact that several of her letters lay scattered over the top of the desk.
 What are you doing with my let ters, MT. Kennedy" she asked, in an astonished tone, evidently resenting the unceremoniousnes with which he had apparently been overhauling her correspondence.
 AS guardedly as possible, Kennedy met her inquiry, which I could not myself blame her for making.
 q beg your pardon, Miss Dodge,' , he said, but a matter has just come up which necessitated merely a cur sory examination of some purely for nal letters which might have an i'm portant bearing on the discovery of the Clutching Hand Your aunt had no idea where you were, nor when you might return, and the absolute neces- sity for haste in such an important matter Is my only excuse for eXamin- ing a few minor letters without first obtaining your permission
 She ssid nothing. At another time such an explanation would have been instantly accepted. Now, however. it was different
 Kennedy read the look on her face and an instant later turned to Aunt Josephine and myself.
 "I would very much appreciate a chance to say few words to Miss

 T believe you really love that man Kennedy he exclaimed in tone that was almost a hiss But 1 tell you, Elaine, he is all bluff Why, he has been after that Clutching Hand now for three months-and what has he accomplished? Nothing,"
 He paused Through Elaine's mind there flashed the contrast with Ken nedy's even temper and deferential manner.
 Bennett by another effort, seemed to grip his temper again He paced up and down the room Then lie changed the subject abruptly. and the conversation was resumed with some constraint.
 While Elaine and Bennett were talk ing Kennedy and had entered the of flee
 Craig stopped the boy who was about to announce us and asked for Bennetts secretary instead, much to my astonishment
 The boy merely indicated the door of one of the other private offices, and We entered.
 We found the secretary hard at work at the typewriter, copying a legal document Without a word Ken nedy at once locked the door.
 The secretary rose in surprise, but Craig paid no attention to him. In- stead he calmly walked over to the machine and began to examine 1t.
 Might I asks-began the secretary
 You keep quiet ordered Kennedy with nod to me to watch the fellow

Look, Walter" he exclaimed as he drew out the paper from the machine.
 1 bent over, and together We com pared the Ts with those in the Clutch ing Hand letter. the paper from the bomb and the letter which Craig had taken frop Elaine's desk.
 As Craig pointed out the resem- blances with pencil my amaze ment gradually changed into comprehension and comprehension into conviction. The meaning of it all began to dawn on me.
 The writing was identical. There were no differences
 While we were locked in the secre- tary's office Bennett and Elaine were continuing their chat on various social topics. Suddenly, however, with a glance at the clock. Bennett told Elaine that he had an important letter to die tate and that it must go off at once.
 She said that she would excuse him few minutes, and he pressed but ton to call his secretary.
 Of course, the secretary did not an- HtdI. iptultll ICil Lla OliASN' HiAAA some annoyance, and went into the ad- joining room, the door to which Ken nedy had not locked
 He hesitated q moment, then opened the door quietly. To his astonishment he saw Kennedy, the secretary and myself apparently making a close ex- animation of the typewriter

Almost instantly fear and fury at the presence of his hated rival, Kennedy. turned Bennett, as 1t were, from the Jekyll of polished lawyer and lover of Elaine into an in- sanely jealous and revengeful MT. Hyde. The strain was more than his warped mind could bear.
 With look of intense horror and loathing Elaine watched him slowly change from the composed, calm, in- tellectual Bennett she knew and re spected into repulsive, mad figure of a man.
 His stature even seemed to be al tered. He seemed to shrivel up and become deformed. His face was terribly distorted.
 And his long, sinewy hand slowly twisted and bent until he became the personal embodiment of the Clutching Hand.

There was a bright flash as the powder ignited Instantly.
 Just what I expected" commented Kennedy with a nod, as he examined the clever workmanship of the bomb.
 One thing that interested him was that part of the contents had been wrapped in paper to keep them in place. This paper he was now care fully examining with microscope.
 As nearly as l could make it out, the paper contained part of a typewrit- ten cremical formula, which read:

 Elaine read no farther. She handed back the clipping to Kennedy. As her eyes met his she noticed his expres sion of deep concern, and hesitated with the reply she had evidently been just about to make.
 Still as she lowered her head, it seemed to give silent confirmation to the truth of the newspaper report.
 Kennedy said nothing, but his eyes continued to study her face.
 He suppressed his feelings with a great effort then, without word. bowed and left the room.
 Walter" he exclaimed as he re- joined us in the drawing room, where l was chatting with Aunt Josephine, we must be off again. The trail fol- lows still farther"
 An hour or so later, Elaine, whose mind was now in whirl from what had happened, decided to make a call on her lawyer and the confidant of her father, Perry Bennett.
 As Elaine entered his private office. Bennett rose to greet her effusively and they exchanged few words.
 "I mustn't forget to thank you for those lovely roses you sent me- she exclaimed at length. They were beautiful, and I appreciated them ever so much"
 A moment later Bennett led the conversation around until he found an opportunity to make a tactful allusion to the report of their engagement in the morning papers.
 He had leaned over. and now at tempted to take her hand She with .lrew 1t, however. There was some thing about his touch which, try as she might, she could not like. Was 1t mere prejudice or was it her keen womans intuition?
