SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystifed by
a series of murders of prominent men,
The principal clue to the murderer is
the warning letter which is sent the vic
TINS signed with "clutching hand" The
latest 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 accomplishes is told by his friend
Jameson, a newspaper man. Clutching
Hand tries to kill Elaine by means of a
diabolical device which generates a poison
in the wall paper of her room that is
deadly to breathe for any length of time.
Again Kennedy's scientific knowledge is
brought into play just in season to save
the heroine from DEATH

Look" he cried.
From the absolute stiffness of death
there was now wild excitement among
the crooks.
Police! Police!" they shouted to
each other as they fled by a doorway
to secret passage.
Clutching Hand turned to his first
assistant

Kennedy's brow clouded in deep

Outside we had left our taxi waiting
The door was open and a new foot
man, James, was sweeping the rug
when past him flashed a dishevelled
hairy streak
We were all standing there still as
Craig questioned Jennings about the
armor. With yelp Rusty tore fran.
tically into the room A moment he
stopped and barked. We all looked al
him in surprise. Then, as no one
moved, he seemed to single out Ken

teeth and tried to drag him out.

and leaping up against the door. We
did not stop to knock, but began to
break through, for inside we could
hear family sounds of excitement and
cries of Police! Police!"
The door yielded and we rushed
into long hallway. Up the passage
we went until we came to another
door
An instant and we were all against

On the other side of that door from
us the master crook stood for a mo-
ment. Doctor Martin hesitated, not
knowing quite what to do.
Just then the wounded Pitts Slim
lifted his hand feebly. He seemed
vaguely to understand that the game
was up. He touched the Clutching

CIutching Hand moved over to a

Then it closed-not second too soon.
At the very moment when we burst
in, Doctor Martin, seeing his chance,

Kennedy sprang to Elaine's side,
Mortified by the blood that had spat.
tered over everything.
Just then the police burst through
the secret panel and rushed on, leav-
ing us alone, with the unconscious,
scarcely breathing Elaine.
From the sounds we could tell that
they had come to the private room Of
the Clutching Hand. 1t was empty.
A policeman now stood beside
Elaine and the wounded burglar, who
was muttering deliriously to himself.
He was pretty far gone, as the po-
liceman knelt down and tried to get
statement out of him.
,"Who was that man who left you
last-the Clutching Hand?"
Not a word came from the crook.
Doctor Martin had paid no atten-
ton whatever to him, but was work
ie desperately now over Elaine, try
ing to bring her back to life.
"Is she-going to--die?" gasped
Craig frantically.
Every eye was riveted on Doctor
| Martin.
"She is all right" he muttered. But
the man is going to die"
At the sound of Craigs voice Elaine
had feebly opened her eyes.
Thank heaven" breathed Craig,
with a sigh of relief, as his hand
gently stroked Elaine's unnaturally
cold forehead.
