Those Interested.

1t is now almost a cert Ainty that
the movement for creamery in Co
lumbia will take definite form. From
the conferences that have been held
between farmers and dairymen there
does not longer seem reason to doubt
that success will attend the efforts of
those who are behind the movement.
Plans are now on foot, which, If
they materialize, will not only assure
the success of the movement for the
organization Of creamery here but
will put 1t upon a foundation where
its success and profitable operation
will be almost absolutely assured.
Several of the most successful dai.
rymen of this section are behind this
project and they have received assur-
ances from other Interests that
leaves little room for loubt Of SUN.
Client cooperation
Already a quiet canvass or census

alton OF creamery is well under way.
il is believed that there will be no
trouble in securing the assurances
1ecessary from farmers to insure an
abundant supply Of milk for the oper-
alton Of the creamery.

working for the creamery are DR. Roy

At that moment we were startled
by the sudden appearance of Elaine.
She entered the room carrying in
her arms 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
tiers, Mr.. Kennedy" she asked, in an
astonished tone, evidently resenting
the unceremoniousness 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.

he said, "but matter has just come
up which necessitated merely a cur
sorry 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 said 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.
Il would very much appreciate a
chance to say a few words to Miss

controlled himself as if by a super

Kennedy he exclaimed in a tone that
was almost a hiss. But / 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.
While Elaine and Bennett were talk
ing Kennedy and had entered the Of

Craig stopped the boy who was
about to announce us and asked for
Benefits secretary instead, much to
my establishment.
We found the secretary hard at
work at the typewriter, copying a
legal document. Without 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 it.
Might I ask"-began the secretary.
"You keep quiet" ordered Kennedy,
with a nod to me to watch the fellow.

you say the better for you"

crossed the secretary's face. Was it
the surprise of an innocent man?

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystifed by
a series of murders and other crimes.
The principal clue to the criminal is the
warning letter which is sent the victims,
signed with ''clutcing hand" The lat
est victim of the my.terious assassin is
Taylor Dodge, the Insurance president.
His daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Ken
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
needy accomplishes is told by his friend
jameson, newspaper man. Enraged at
the determined effort which Elaine and
to his crimes the Clutching Hand, as
this strange criminal is known, resorts
to all sorts of the most diabolical schemes
to put them out Of the way. Each chap
against their lives and of the way the
great detective uses all his skill to save
this pretty girl and himself from death.

had no such opportunity for some
time. If you would be so kind as to
leave us in the library-for few min
utes-"
He did not finish the sentence.
Aunt Josephine had already begun to
withdraw and I followed
For a moment or two Craig and
Elaine looked at each other, neither
saying a word, each wondering just
what was in the others mind.
Craig cleared his throat, the obvious
manner of covering up his emotion.
Elaine" he said at length, dropping
the recent return to Miss Dodge" for
the moment, elaine, is there any
truth in this mornings newspaper re-
port of-of you?"
She had dropped her eyes. But he
persisted, taking newspaper clipping
from his pocket and handing it to her.
Her hand trembled as she glanced
over the item:
SOCIETY NOTES.
Dame Rumor Is connecting the
name of Miss Elaine Dodge, the
heiress, with that Of Perry Ben
nett, the famous young lawyer.
The announcement of an engage
ment between them at any time
would not surprise.
Elaine read no farther. She handed
back the clipping to Kennedy. AS her
eyes met his she noticed his express
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 a word,
bowed and left the room.
'Walter," he exclaimed as he re-
joined us in the drawing room, where
was chatting with Aunt Josephine,
1--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 call
on her lawyer and the confdant of her
father, Perry Bennett.
AS Elaine entered his private Office,
Bennett rose to greet her effusively
and they exchanged few words.
81 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.

thing about his touch which, try as
she might, she could not like. Was it
mere prejudice or was it her keen
woman's intuition?

drew out the paper from the machine
I bent over, and together we COM
pared the IT'S with those in the Clutch
ing Hand letter, the paper from the
bomb and the letter which Craig had
taken from Elaines desk.
AS Craig pointed out the resem-
blances with a 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
a few minutes, and he pressed but
ton to call his secretary.
OF course, the secretary did not ap-
pear. Bennett left his Office, with
some annoyance, and went into the adj
joining room, the door to which Ken
nedy had. not locked.
He hesitated a moment, then opened
the door quietly. To his establishment
he saw Kennedy, the secretary and
myself apparently making close ex-
animation of the typewriter.
Gliding, rather than walking back
into his own Office, he closed the door
and locked it. Almost instantly fear
and fury at the presence of his hated
rival, Kennedy, turned Bennett, as it
were, from the Jekyll of polished
lawyer and lover of Elaine into an in
sanely jealous and revengeful Mr..
Hyde.

tellectual Bennett she knew and re-
spected into repulsive, mad figure of
a man.
And his long, sinewy hand slowly
twisted and bent until he became the
personal embodiment Of the Clutching
Hand.
As Elaine, transfxed with terror,
watched BENEFITS astounding meta
morphosis, he ran to the door leading
to the outer Office and hastily locked
that also.
Then, with his eyes cleaning with
rage and his hands working in murder
Gus frenzy, he crouched nearer and
nearer, toward Elaine.
She shrank back, screaming again
and again in terror.

Seemingly heroic measures may

motor speeded up, and the clutch en-
gagged again-all in the fraction OF a

there will be no danger Of stalling
the motor. and when the motor is
speeded up and the clutch engaged, the
rear wheels will revolve rapidly and
will soon obtain a firm "foothold" on
the wet pavement. which. in this par
ticular spot, will have been rubbed dry

a straight line forward so as to over
come the liability of skidding ?"
The most certain method of stop
ping the car without skidding is to
apply both the service brake and the
emergency brake with equal pressure.
This gives the same braking effect to
each wheel and overcomes the liabil-
ity of an uneven application of the
brake to either wheel if but one is
