Once, however, Craig paused, and

something.
Kennedy frowned What was that
scratching noise? Could 1t be Jen-

Just then we could distinguish a
sound as though someone had moved
about.
"No-that's not Jennings" cried
Craig. "He went out"
He looked at me moment. The
same stealthy noise was repeated.
IT'S the Clutching Hand!" he ex-
claimed excitedly.
A moment later Dan hurried into
the Dodge library.

he whispered hoarsely. "The Falsers

Dan himself had no time to waste.
He retreated into the hallway just as

In the library Clutching Hand was
now frantically searching for the
spring. He heard Elaine coming and
lodged behind the curtains again just
as she entered.
With a hasty look about, she saw
no one. Then she went quickly to the
panel, found the spring and pressed
it. So many queer things had hap
pened to her since she went out that
she had begun to worry over the safe

The panel opened. They were there

With a spring, Clutching Hand

struggled for them, Clutching Hand
holding one hand over her mouth to
prevent her screaming. Instantly Dan
was there, aiding his chief.
Choke her! Strangle her! Don't

They fought viciously. Would she
succeed? 1t was two desperate, un-
scrupulous men against one frail girl.

amining the order and finding it ap-
parently all right.
Dan followed him in, taking the lad
der and bucket upstairs, where Aunt
Josephine was still reading.
"The man to clean the windows,
aam," apologized Jennings.
"Oh, very WELL" she nodded, taking
up her book, to go. Then, recalling
the frequent injunctions of Kennedy,
she paused long enough to speak
quietly to Jennings.
"Stay here and watch him." she
whispered as she went out.
Jennings nodded, while Dan opened
a window and set to work.
Elaine now decided to go home.
From his closed car, the Clutching
Hand gazed intently at the Dodge
house. He could see Dan on the lad
der, now washing the library window,
his back toward him.
Dan turned slowly and made the
sign Of the hand. Turning to his
chauffeur, the master criminal spoke
a few hurried words in low tone and
the driver hurried on.
A few minutes later the driver
might have been seen entering a near
by drug store and going into the tele-
phone booth. Without a moments
hesitation he called upon the Dodge
house, and Marie, Elaine's maid, an

as Jennings there?" he asked.
Tell him a friend wants to speak
to him.
"Wait minute" she answered. "Tll
get him"
Marie went toward the library, leav-
ing the telephone off the hook. Dan
was washing the windows, half in
side, half outside the house, while Jen-
nings was trying to be very busy al
though it was apparent that he was
watching Dan closely.
"A friend of yours wants to speak
to you over the telephone, Jennings"
said Marie, as she came into the
library.
The butler responded slowly, with a
covert glance at Dan.
NO SOOueT Hdu IHey SOHe, HOW6NeEb
than Dan climbed all the way into the
room ran to the door and looked after
them Then he ran to the window.
Across and down the street, the
Clutching Hand was gazing at the
house. He had seen Dan disappear
and suspected that the time had come.
Sure enough, there was the sign Of
the hand. He hastily got out of the
car and hurried up the street. All
this time the chauffeur was keeping
Jennings busy over the telephone with
some trumped-up story.
AS the master criminal came in by
the ladder through the open window,
Dan was on guard, listening down the
hallway. A signal from Dan, and
Clutching Hand slid back Of the por-
there's. Jennings was returning.
"I've finished these windows" an
nounced Dan as the butler reappeared.
''Now, I'll clean the hall windows"
Jennings followed like a shadow.
No sooner had they gone than
Clutching Hand stealthily came from
behind the portieres.
The true northerner., 1915-03-19

One of the maids was sweeping In
the hall as Dan went toward the win
dow, about to wash it.
81 wonder whether I locked those
windows?" muttered Jennings, paus
ing in the hallway. Il guess I'd bet
ter make sure"
He had taken only a step toward
the library again when Dan watchfully
caught sight of him. It would never
do to have Jennings snooping around
there now. Quick action was neces-
sary. Dan knocked over a costly
Sevres vase.
"There-clumsy-s what you've
done!" berated Jennings, starting to
pick up the pieces.
Dan had acted his part well and
promptly. In the library Clutching
Hand was busily engaged at that mo-
ment beside the secret panel search
ing for the spring that released it.
He ran his finger along the woodwork,
pausing here and there without sue
ceeding.
"Confound it," he muttered, search
ing feverishly.

turned to go, sharp observer would

A few moments later, Dan appeared
