"Oh, Mr.. Jameson, I've discovered

hiding place, pressing the spring and
sliding the panel shut.
A few minutes later she left the

Outside our laboratory. leaning up
against railing, Dan the Dude, an
emissary of the Clutching Hand, whose
dress now greatly belied his under

The moment we disappeared, he
raised his hand carefully above his
head and made the sign of the Clutch

Clutching Hand studied for a mo-
ment and then grabbed the telephone
again.
Hello. Dan," he called when he got
his number Miss Dodge is going

in his organization as the Brother
