Puzzled, but interested, Elaine fol-
lowed her. In the library Jennings
pointed mutely at the new safe. Elaine
approached it. AS they stood about,
new beads of perspiration, as 1t were,
formed on it. Elaine touched it and
also quickly withdrew her hand.
Il can't imagine what's the matter"
she said. "But-well-Jenning you
may go-and Marie, Also"
When the servants had gone she still
regarded the safe with the same won

Susie rose TO go and Elaine followed
her to the door, No sooner had she
gone than the Clutching Hand came
out from behind the curtains. He gazed
about a moment, then, moving over to
the safe about which the two girls had
been talking, stealthlly examined it
He must have heard someone COM
ing. for with a gesture of hate at the
safe itself, as though he personified 1t,
he slipped back of the curtains again.
Elaine had returned, and as she sat
down at the desk to go over some pa

to settling up the estate the masked
intruder stealthily and silently with

rather gingerly.

examined it. Then she pulled open

"It must be getting cold out, MI

is as cold as ice

glance at her watch, set the time lock
and went upstairs to her room.
No sooner had Elaine disappeared
than Michael appeared again, catlike,
through the curtains from the drawing
room, and, after glance about the
dimly lighted library. discovering that
the coast was clear, motioned to fig
ure hiding behind the portieres.
A moment and Clutching Hand him
self came out
He moved over to the safe and
looked it over. Then he put out his
hand and touched it.
"Listen!" cautioned Michael.
Someone was coming, and they
hastily skunk behind the protecting
portieres. 1t was Marie, Elaine'J maid.
She turned up the lights and went
over to the desk for a book for which
Elaine had evidently sent her. She
paused and appeared to be listening.
Then she went to the door.
"Jennings!" she beckoned.
What is it, Marie?" he replied.
She said nothing, but as he came up
the hall led him to the center of the
room.
Listen! 1 heard signs and groans!"
Jennings looked at her a moment,
puzzled, then laughed. "You girls!"
he exclaimed. 81 suppose you'll always
think the library haunted now"
But, Jennings. listen," she per-
sisted
Jennings did listen. Sure enough,
there were sounds, weird, uncanny. He
gazed about the room. 1t was eerie.
Then he took few steps toward the
safe. Marie put out her hand to it and
started back.
"Why, that safe is all covered with
cold sweat" she cried with bated
breath.
Sure enough, the face of the safe
was beaded with dampness. Jennings
put his hand on it and quickly drew it
away, leaving a mark on the damp
ness.
"W-what do you think of that?" he
gasped.
I'm going to tell Miss Dodge" cried
Marie, genuinely frightened.
A moment later she burst into
Elaine's room.
What is the matter, Marie?" asked
Elaine, laying down her book. "You
look as if you had seen ghost"

ing happened. There was not sound.
He looked cautiously into the room.
Apparently there was nothing.
1t had been about the middle of the
morning that an express wagon had
pulled up sharply before our apart
ment.
"Mr Kennedy live here?" asked one
| of the expres3men, descending with
his helper and approaching our janitor,
Jens Jensen, a typical Swede. who
was coming up out of the basement.
Jens growled surly, "Yes-but MIR.
Kannady, he bane out"
"Too bad-we've got this large cab
met he ordered from Grand Rapids.
We can't cart it around all day. Can't
you let us in so we can leave it?"
Jensen muttered: WELL guess It
bane all right"
They took the cabinet off the wagon
and carried it upstairs. Jensen opened
our door, still grumbling, and they
placed the heavy cabinet in the living
room.
Sign here"
"You fallers bane nuisance" pro-
tested Jens, signing nevertheless.
Scarcely had the sound of their
footballs died away in the outside hall
way when the door of the cabinet
slowly opened and masked face pro-
truded, gazing about the room.
1t was the Clutching Hand!
From the cabinet he took a large
package wrapped in newspapers. AS
eye rested on Elaine's picture. A mo-
ment he looked at it, then quickly at
the fireplace opposite.
An idea seemed to occur to him.
He took the package to the fireplace,
removed the screen and laid the pack
age over the andirons with one end
pointing out into the room.
Next he took from the cabinet
couple of storage batteries and a coil
of wire. Deity and quickly he fixed
them on the package.
Meanwhile, before an alleyway
across the street and further down
the long block the express wagon had
stopped.
Having completed fixing the bat
teries and wires, Clutching Hand ran
the wires along the molding on the
wall overhead, from the fireplace IN
til he was directly over Elaine's pic
ture. Skillfully he managed to fix the
wires. using them in place of the pic
ture wires to support the framed pho
tograph until 1t hung very noticeably
askew on the wall.
The last wire joined, he looked
about the room, then noiselossly moved
to the window and raised the shade.
Quickly he raised his hand and
brought the fingers slowly together.
It was the sign.
Off in the alley, the express driver
and his helper jumped into the wagon
and away it ratified.
Jensen was smoking placidly as the
wagon pulled up the second time.
Sorry" said the driver sheepishly,
"but we delivered the cabinet to the
wrong Mr.. Kennedy"
He pulled out the inevitable book to
prove 1t.
