 Kennedy quickly flashed his own special badge. "I want to trail a girl he exclaimed hurriedly Can I find bloodhound about here?''

 Tn the mysterious haunt of the Clutehing Hand, all were still stand ing around Elaine and the wounded Pitts Slim
 Just then a cry from one of the group startled the rest. One of them. less hardened than the Clutching Hand, had turned away from the sight, had gone to the window, and had been attracted by something out side.
 Look" he cried
 From the absolute stiffness of death there was now wild excitement among the crooks.
 'Polcei Policei" they shouted to each other as they fled by doorway to a secret passage.
 Clutching Hand turned to his first assistant
 You go, too,' he ordered
 The dogs had led us to strange looking house, and were now paying

and leaping up against the door. We did not stop to knock, but began to break through, for inside We could hear faintly sounds of excitement and cries of Police, Police!"
 The door yielded and we rushed into a long hallway. Up the passage we went until We came to another door
 An instant and we were all against it. It was stout, but it shook before us. The panels began to yield.
 
 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 Clutehing Hand
 You did your best, chief he mur- mured thiekly. Beat it, If you can. I'm a goner, anyway"
 Clutching Hand moved over to a panel in the wall and pushed a spring. It slid open and he stepped through Then it closed-not second too soon.
 
 At the very moment when we burst in. Doctor Martin. seeing his chance, stopped the blood transfusion, work iag frantieally to stay the flow of blood
 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. It was empty. \ policeman now stood beside Elaine and the wounded burglar, who was muttering deliriously to himself He was pretty far gone. as the po- lieeman knelt down and tried to get statement out of him.
 Who was that man who left you last-the Clutching Hand?a
 Not word came from the crook. Doctor Martin had paid no atten- tion whatever to him, but was work ing desperately now over Elaine, try ing to bring her back to life.
 "Is she-going to-die9" 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 Craig's voice Elaine had feebly opened her eyes.
 Thank heaven" breathed Craig, with sigh of relief, as his hand gently stroked Elaine's unnaturally cold forehead

 Let us see the library" he said at length.
 Accordingly down to the, library we went Kennedy looked about. He seemed to miss something.
 Where is the armor?" he demand ed.
 "Why, the men came for it and took it away to repair" answered Jen- nings.
 Kennedy's brow clouded in deep thought
 Outside We had left our taxi waiting. The door was open end nogt foot man, James. was sweeping tie rug. when past iIim flashed a dish elled hairy streak
 We were all standing there st Il a. Craig questioned Jennings about the armor With yelp Rusty tore Iran tically into the room. A moment he stopped and parked. We all looked at him in surprise. Then, as no one moved, he seemed to single out Ken. nedy. He seized Craig's coat in his teeth and tried to drag him out.
 "Here, Rusty-down, sir, do yn.' called Jennings.
 No; Jennings, no," interr 9sed Craig. Whats the matter, old eel low?'
 Craig patted Rusty, whose big b WI eyes seemed mutely appealing. Out of the doorway he went. barking Craig and I followed, while the stood i'll the yestibule.

 Outside, the other crook was wait ing, looking at his watch As the hand slowly turned the half-hour he snapped the watch shut With quick glance up and down the deserted street, he deftly started up the rain pipe that passed near Elaine's win dow.
 This time there was no faithful Rusty to give warning, and the second intruder, after a glance at Elaine, still sleeping, went quickly to the door, dragged the insensible dog out of the way, turned the key and admitted the closed the door.
 Evidently the fumes had not reached Elaine, or, if they had, the thrush of fresh air revived her, for she walked and quickly reached for the gun. In an instant the other crook had leaped at her. Holding his hand over her mouth to prevent her scream ing, he snatched the revolver away be- fore she could fire it.
 In the meantime the Clutching Hanl had taken out some chloroform, and. rolling a towel in the form of a cone. placed it over her face.

her out of bed, the chloroform cone still over her face, and quietly carried her to the door. which they had opened stealthily
 Down stairs they carried her until they came to the library with it's new sale where they placed her on a couch.
 At an early hour an express wagon stopped before the Dodge house and Jennings, half-dressed. answered the bell.
 We've come for that broken suit of armor to be repaired" said a work man.
 Jennings let the men in. The armor was still on the stand and the repair CTS took armor, stand and all, laying 1t on the couch, where they wrapped 1t in the covers they had brought for the purpose. They lifted it up and started to carry it out
 Be careful" cautioned the thrifty Jennings
 Rusty. now recovered, was barking and sniffing at the armor.
 Kick the mutt off," growled one man.
 The other did so, and Rusty snarled and snapped at him. Jennings took him by the collar and held him as the repairers went out, loaded the armor on the wagon, and drove off
 Scarcely had they gone, while Jen- n!ngs strengthened out the disarranged library, when Rusty began jumping about, barking furiously Jennings looked at him in amazement as the dog ran to the window and leaped out.
 He had no time to look after the dog, though, for at that very instant he heard voice calling, Jennings, Jenningsi"
 It was Marie, almost speeches.. He followed her as she led the way to Miss Elaine's room. There Marie pointed mutely to the bed Elaine was not there.
 There, too were her clothes. neatly folded, as Marie had hung them for her
 Something must have happened to her." walled Marie. Jennings was now thoroughly alarmed. l Meanwhile the express wagon out ] side was driving off, with Rusty tear ing after it.
 w hats the matter?" cried Aunt Josephine, coming in where the foot man and the maid were arguing what was to be done.
 She gave one look at her bed, the clothes. and the servants.
 Gall Mir. Kennedy" she cried in alarm.
 
 Elaine is gone-no one knows how or where announced Craig, after leaping out of bed that morning to an swer the furious ringing of our tele l phone bell.
 When we arrived at the Dodge house Aunt Josephine and Marie were fully dressed. Jennings let us in.
 What has happened ?" demanded Kennedy, breathlessly.
 While Aunt Josephine tried to tel

direction of the mysterious, dark house. Half a mile, perhaps, down the road, they halted and left the car beside the walk.
 Doctor Martin was too surprised to marvel at anything now, and he real lZed that he was in the power of two desperate men. Quickly they blind folded him.
 It seemed an interminable walk, as they led him about to confuse him. but at last he could feel that they had taken him into house and along passageways, which they were making unnecessarily long in order to de- stroy all recollection that they could. Finally he knew that he was in a room in which others were present
 A moment later he felt them remove the bandage from his eyes, and, blink ing at the light, he could see hard faced fellow, pale and weak. on a bloodstained couch. Over him bent a masked man and another man stood near by endeavoring by improvised bandages to stop the flow of blood
 What can you do for this fellow?" asked the masked man.
 Doctor Martin, seeing nothing else to do for he was more than outnum- bered now, bent down and examined him.
 AS he rose, he said, He will be dead from loss of blood by morning, no matter if he is properly bandaged.'
 Is there nothing that can save him." whispered the Clutching Hand hoarsely
 Blood transfusion might save him, ' replied the doctor But so much blood would be needed that whoever gives it would be liable to die himself"
 Clutching Hand stood silent mo- ment, thinking, as he gazed at the man who had been one of his chief reliance. Then, with a menacing ges- ture, he spoke in low, bitter tone:
 She who shot him shall supply the blood"
 A lew QQICk ulTectlOQS IOllOWed lO his subordinates, and as he made ready to go he muttered, Keep the doctor here. Don't let him stir from the room.''
 It was just before early daybreak when the Clutehing Hand and his con. federate reached the Dodge house in the city and came up to the back door, over the fences. As they stood there the Clutching Hand produced a mas ter key and started to open the door. But before he did so he took out his watch
 Let me see," he ruminated. "Twen- :. minutes past i. At exactly half past want you to do as 1 told you see?,'
 The other crook nodded
 You may go," ordered the Clutch ing Hand.
 As the crook slunk away Clutching Hand stealthily let himself into the house Noiselessly he prowled through the halls until he came to Elaine doorway.
 He gave a hasty look up and doEn the hall There was no sound. Quickly

 We'll Elaine laughed a little nerv- ously, now that it was all over. T want you all to go to bed and stop worrying about me Don't you see I'm perfectly able to take care of my self? Besides, there isn't chance now of the burglar coming back. Why, I shot him."

Writing to a Democratic club in this
state, Secretary Of the Treasury Ne.
Adoo takes occasion to make this ding
at the Republican party:
cit is only through national

and the selfish interests that domi
nate it hope for success. Every ut
teranee and every action Of Repub-
lican leaders convicts them Of
wanting to prevent prosperity in
order to gain control Of The gov

the alleged champion Of business,
is trying to destroy business to
gain its ends. It is a sorry spec
tacle and failure is its inevitable
reward
The Republican party eame into ex-
istence as the champion Of emancipat-
ed labor as against shaekled labor; as.
the pronounced advocate Of enlarged
commercial activity in opposition to
those who believed in buying abroad
to supply the needs of vast landed es
tates titled by those who were held in
bondage. 1t has always believed in a
constructive financial policy, which
would insure stable business eondi
tons. 1t has always advocated a Pro
tective Tariff which would insure a
high scale of wages for American la
Dor and enable the American working
man to live in comfort. 1t has always
insisted IN a sound currency, and it
saved the country from a deluge of
~greenbaeks and a flood of diluted sill
yer. 1t created a banking system
which retired a vast amount Of Wild
eat paper money, and the best features
of the present reserve system were Ia
ken from legislative measures which
had their origin in the brains and Ia
bors of Republican legislators.
