"Why-what is the matter?' asked
Craig anxiously,
Doctor Hayward shook his head du.

him, for, as he approached Elaine, she
drew from the covers where she had
concealed il a letter and handed it TO
him.
Craig took it and read;

day you will die unless you discharge

At the signature of the Clutehing

Doctor Hayward continued shaking

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystifed by a
series of murders and other crimes The
principal clue TO the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims,
signed with "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
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
nedy aecompllshes is told by his friend
James. newspaper man. BY an ingen-
ious ruse Ciutching Hand struggles into
Elaines home a flask of liquid air which
she supposes to be a package of valuable
papers 1t blows open the safe In which
II Is placed but Kennedy arrives in time
to prevent the robbery. The detective
narrowly misses death In his apartment
where Cmtching Hand has placed "a shot
gun so that II is fired by the electrical
connection formed when Kennedy places
his hands on framed photograph of
Elaine.

tube, very carefully.
Here, Walter he said, pointing to
the little incision he had made, will

Quickly Craig made one test after
another.
AS he did so / shifted. There was
an unmistakable odor of garlic in the
air which made me think Of what |
had already noticed in Elaines room.
"Arseniuretted hydrogen" he an
swered, still engaged in verifying his
tests. This Is the Marsh test for
arsenic"
"Arsenic!" repeated, in horror.
I had scarcely recovered from the
surprise of Kennedys startling reve-
lation when the telephone rang again.
Kennedy seized the receiver, thinking
evidently that the message might be
from or about Elaine.
But from the look on his face and
from his manner, | could gather that,
although 1t was not from Elaine her
self, it was about something that in
terested him greatly.
Good" | heard him say finally. II

lutely."
What was it2' | asked, eagerly.
ut was Elaine's footman, Michael"
he replied, thoughtfully. "As / sus-
pected he says that he is a confeder-
ate of the Clutching Hand, and If we
will protect him he will tell us the
trouble with Elaine"

that?" / queried.
