to pause and peer out into the moon
light that flooded the back of his
house, he might have seen the figures
of two stealthy crooks crouching in
the half shadows of one of the cellar
windows, one crook, at least, masked.
The masked crook held in his hands
carefully the ends of two wires at
tached to an electric feed, and, sending
his pal to keep watch outside, he en-
tered the cellar of the Dodge house
through window, whose pane they
had carefully removed. AS he came
through the window he dragged the
wires with him, and, after a moments
accommodating, attached them to the
furnace pipe of the old-fashioned hot
air heater, where the pipe ran up
through the floor to the library above.
The other wire was quickly attached
to the telephone where its wires en-
tered.
Upstairs Dodge, evidently uneasy in
his mind about the precious Limpy
Red letter, took it from the safe along
with most of the other correspondence
and, pressing hidden spring in the
wall, opened secret panel and placed
most of the important documents in
this hiding place.
Downstairs the masked master Grim.

to the wires he had installed, waiting.
Just then could be heard the tinkle

rose to answer it. AS he did so he

Just then Dodge caught sight of me.
For the moment l thought perhaps he
was going to fulfill his threat.

the door.

er part of the story-all except the one
big thing, however-the name of the
criminal. But Dodge would know him
tomorrow!
I hurried back to the Star to write
my story in time to catch the last
morning edition.
Meanwhile, il / may anticipate my
story, l must tell of what we later
learned had happened to Dodge Sc
completely to upset him.
Ever since the Consolidated Mutual
had been hit by the murders he had had
many lines out in the hope of enmesh
ing the perpetrator. That night, as
found out the next day, he had at last
heard of clue. One of the company's
| detectives had brought in a red-head
ed. lame, partly paralyzed crook, who
| enjoyed the expressive monniker o.
''Limpy Red" Limpy Red was 6
gunman of some renown, evil-facet
and, having nothing much to lose, des

wretch had said as he handed over {
grimy envelope, Il amt never seer

find his hangout."
AS Limpy ambled out, he turned tt
Dodge, quivering at the enormity of hi!
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1915-01-22

Limpy had long since reached the
point of saturation and lurching forth
from his new found cronies he sought
other fields of excitement. Likewise
did the newcomer, who bore strange
resemblance to the lookout who had
been stationed outside at the Dodge
house scant half hour before.
What happened later was only a
matter of secondhand waiting until
the hated snitch-for gangdom hates
the informer worse than anything else
dead or alive-had turned sufficient
ly dark and deserted corner.
A mutfled thud, stifed groan fol-
lowed as heavy section of lead pipe
wrapped in newspaper descended on
the Grass skull of Limpy.
1t was the vengeance of the Clutch
ing Hand-swift, sure, remorseless.
And yet it had not been night OF
complete success for the master GRIM
inal, as anyone might have seen who
could have followed his sinuous route
to place of greater safety. Unable
to wait longer, he pulled the papers
he had taken from the safe from his
pocket His chagrin at finding most
of them to be blank found only one
expression of foiled fury--that men
acing clutching hand-the real one!
Kennedy had turned from his futile
examination for marks on the tele-
phone. There stood the safe, moder-
ate sized strong box, but of a modern
type. He tried the door. It was locked.
There was not mark on it. The COM
bination had not been tempered with.
Nor had there been any attempt to
soup the safe.
With a quick motion he felt in his
pocket as If looking for gloves. Find
ing none, he glanced about and seized
| two pieces of paper from the desk.
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1915-01-22

touching the register, he wrenched the
telephone from the grasp of the dead
man, replacing it in it's normal posi-
ton. Only for second did he pause
to look at his victim as he destroyed
the evidence of his work.
Minutes were precious. First Dodge's
pockets, then his desk engaged his at
tention. There was left the safe.
AS he approached the strong box,
the master criminal took two walls
from his pocket. Removing bust Of
Webster that stood on the safe, he
poured the contents of the walls in two
mixed masses of powder, forming a
heap on the safe, into which he insert
ed two magnesium wires.
He lighted them, sprang back, hid
ing his eyes from the light, and a
binding gush of flame, lasting per-
haps ten seconds, poured out from the
top Of the safe.
1t was not an explosion, but just a
dazzling, intense flame that sizzled and
cracked. It seemed impossible, but
the glowing mass was literally sink
ing, sinking down into the cold steel.
At last it burned through-as If the
safe had been of finder!
Without waiting a moment longer
than necessary, the masked criminal
advanced again and actually put his
hands down through the top of the
safe, pulling out bunch Of papers.
Quickly he thrust them all, with just
a glance, into his pocket.
Still working quickly, he took the
| bust of the great orator, which he had
removed, and placed it under the light.
Next, from his pocket he drew two
curious stencils, as it were, which he
had apparently carefully prepared
With his hands, still carefully gloved
| he rubbed the stencils on his hair, as
| il to cover them with film of natural
oils. Then he deliberately pressed
them over the statue in several
places. 1t was peculiar action, and
he seemed to fairly gloat over it when
| it was done and the bust returned to
its place, covering the hole,
/. AS noiselessly as he had come, he
made his exit after one last malignant
look at Dodge. It was now but the
work of moment to remove the wires
he had placed and climb out of the
window, taking them and destroying
the evidence down in the cellar.
A. low whistle from the masked
crook, now again in the shadow
brought his pal stealthily to his side
"Its all right" he whispered hoarse
ly to the man. Now you attend tc
Limpy Red"
The villainous looking pal nodded
and, without another word, the two
made their getaway. safely, in opposite
directions.
When Limpy Red, still trembling
left the Office of Dodge earlier in the
evening, he had repaired as fast as his
shambling feet would take him to his
favorite dive up on Park Row.
Had the Bowery "sinkers" not go'
into his eyes he might have noticed
among the late jewellers man who
spoke to no one, but took his place
! near by at the bar.

"Don't Let On How You Found out!"
objectionable sin in gangland: "For
Gods sake, governor" he implored,
don't let on how you found out!"
And yet Limpy Red had scarcely left
with his promise not to tell, when
Dodge, happening to turn over some
papers, came upon an envelope left
on his own desk, bearing that myoteri-
Gus clutching hand!
He tore it open, and read in amaze
ment:
Destroy Limpy Reds instructions
within the next hour"
Dodge gazed about in wonder. This
was getting on his nerves. He de-
termined to go home and rest.
Outside the house, as he left his car,
pasted over the monogram on the door,
he had found another note, with the
same weird mark and the single word:
Remember"
In spite of the pleadings of young
Bennett, Dodge refused to take warn
ing. In the safe in his beautifully
fitted library he deposited Limpy's doc
ument in an envelope containing all
the correspondence that had led up to
the final step in the discovery.
1t was late in the evening when !
returned to our apartment and, not
finding Kennedy there, knew that
would discover him at the laboratory.

him. 1--WE got case for you-greater
than any ever before"
Kennedy looked up calmly from the
ruck of scientific instruments that sur
rounded him-test tubes, beakers,
carefully labeled bottles.
'Indeed?" he remarked, coolly 60
ing back to his work.
"Yes," I cried. at is a scientific
criminal who seems to leave no clues.
Kennedy looked up gravely. Every
criminal leaves trace" he said quiet
ly. "It it hasn't been found, then it
must be because no one has ever
looked for it in the right way"
Still gazing at me keenly, he added
Eyes, l already knew there was such

any possible finger prints on the bust,
he lifted it off.

There, In the top of the safe,
yawned gaping hole, through which
one could have thrust his arm!
What is it," we asked, crowding
about him.
"Thermit," he replied laconically.
"Thermit?" / repeated.
"Yes-a compound of iron oxide and
powdered aluminium, invented by a
chemist at Essen, Germany. It gives
temperature Of over five thousand
degrees. 1t will eat its way through
the strongest STEEL"
Jennings, his mouth wide open with
wonder, advanced to take the bust
from Kennedy. -|-
"No--don't touch it," he waved him
off, laying the bust on the desk. Il
want no one to touch it-don't you
see how careful l was to use the
paper, that there might be no ques-
ton about any clue this fellow may
have left on the marble?"
AS he spoke, Craig was busting over
the surface of the bust with some
black powder.
Look" exclaimed Craig suddenly.

them closely. "a clue-perhaps."
"What-those little marks-a clue?"

AGAINST MAD DOCS

Chief of Police Johnson has in
structed his force to be on the look
out for mad dogs during the hot
summer months. Several cases of ra-
bies have already been reported and
the dogs killed. Chief Johnson is
anxious that all citizens take every
precaution not to let their dogs run
loose where they might be bitten by a
mad dog,
This morning prominent citizen
phoned the police to come to his house
and get bird dog that had been Bit
ten. Although the dog did not show
any signs Of going mad the owner was
sure the dog was infected Fifteen
minutes after he was carried to the
city stockade an advanced case of ra
bies developed and the dog was killed.
Plenty of water and shade will keep
a dog from going mad, unless bitten
by some dog with the rabies. The stT
est way is for parties owning dogs to
keep them in their yards and give
them plenty of clean water.
