THIRD EPISODE
The Vanishing Jewels.

iHS vanishing jewels.
Banging away at my typewriter the
next day, in Kennedy's laboratory, /
was startled by the sudden, insistent
ringing of the telephone near me.
Hello" I answered, for Craig was
at work at his table, trying still to ex-
tract some clue from the slender evil
dence thus far elected in the Dodge
mystery.
"Oh, Mr.. Kennedy" I heard an ex-
cited voice over the wire reply, my
friend, Susie Martin, is here. Her ia

to Craig and was watching him keen

He motioned to me for a pad and
pencil that lay near me.
Please read the letter again, slow

there isn't time for me to see it
Just yet. But want it exactly. You
say it is made uD of sepal tie words
and type cut from newspapers and
pasted on note paper?"
I handed him paper and pencil.
"All right, now, Miss Dodge, go
ahead"
AS he wrote he indicated to me by
his eyes that he wanted me to read.

Kennedy, laying down the pencil.

me see," he pondered, looking at his
watch. 1T is now half-past eleven.

the dirt. examining the road for marks.
THAT way!" he indicated, leaping
back to the running board.
We piled back into the car and pro-
ceeded under Kennedy's direction, as
fast as he would permit. So it con-
tinued, perhaps for couple of hours.
At last Kennedy stopped the cab
and slowly directed the driver to veer
into an open space that looked partic-
ularly lonesome. Near it stood one
story brick factory building, closed,
but not abandoned.
AS / looked about at the unattrac-
tive scene, Kennedy already was down
on his knees in the dirt again, study
ing the tire tracks. They were all
confused, showing that the taxicab
we were following had evidently
backed in and turned several times
before going on.
Crossed by another set of tire
tracksi" he exclaimed excitedly,
studying closer. THAT must have
been the limousine, waiting"
Laboriously he was following the
course Of the cars in the open space,
when one word escaped him, Foot
prints!"
He was up and off in a moment, be-
fore we could imagine what he was
after. We had got out of the cab,
and followed him as, down to the
very shore of sort of cove or bay,
he went. There lay a rusty, discard
ed boiler on the beach, half SUBJ
merged in the rising tide. At this
tank the footprints seemed to go
right down the sand and into the
waves, which were slowly obliteratins

make out possible boat on the hori-
zon where the cove widened out
Look" / cried.
Further down the shore, few feet,
had discovered the same prints, go
ing in the opposite direction, back to-
ward the place from which he had
just come. i started to follow them,
but soon found myself alone. Ken
nedy had paused beside the old boiler.
What is it?" / asked, retracing my
steps.

'Don't!" cried a familiar voice
"That is Mr.. Kennedy"
Just then, from little knot or peo-
ple. Elaine Dodge sprang forward
with a cry and seized the gun.
Kennedy turned to her, apparently
not half so much concerned about the
automatic that yawned at him as
about the anxiety of the pretty girl
who had interviewed. The too eager
plain-clothes man lowered the gun
sheepishly.
Sturtevant Martin was typical So
ciety business man, quietly but richly
dressed.

hurriedly.
Directly in front of me was sign

in doubt which way 70 go. Craig had
stuck his head out OF the window, as
l had done, and, seeing the crossroads,
had told the chauffeur to stop. There
stood the hobo.
did a car pass here, just nova
big carr" called Craig.
The man put his hand to his ear. as
if only half comprehending.
(Which way did the big car go?" re-
peated Kennedy.
The hobo approached the taxicab
sullenly, as if he had grudge against
cars in general.
One question after another ELECTED
little that could be construed as intel
ligence. If Craig had only been able
to see, he would have found out that,
with his back toward the taxicab
driver, the hobo held one hand behind
him and made the sign of the Clutch
ing Hand, glancing surreptitiously at
the driver to catch the answering sign,
while Craig gazed earnestly up the
two roads.
At last Craig gave him up as hope
less. "Well-go ahead-that way" he
indicated, picking the most likely road.
AS the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.
Hurry" urged Craig, exasperated
at the delays.
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
it over, but somehow it refused to
start. Then he lifted the hood and be-
gan to tinker.
Whats the matter?" asked Craig,
impatiently jumping out and bending
over the engine, too.
The driver shrugged his shoulders.
Must be something wrong with the
ignition, guess" he replied.
Kennedy looked the car over hastily.
81 can't see anything wrong" he
frowned-
well, there IS" growled the driver.
Precious minutes were speeding
away as they argued. Finally with his
characteristic energy, Kennedy put the
taxicab driver aside.
Let me try it." he said. Miss
Dodge. will yoq arrange that spark

the powerful limousine. On uptown
the limousine from escaping being the
fear Of pursuit by traffic police IL the
driver let out speed. They were con-
tent to manage to keep just far enough
ahead to be out of danger of having
Kennedy overhaul them. AS for us.
we followed as best we could, on up
town, past the city line, and out into
the country.
There Kennedy lost sight alto
gether OF the car he was trailing.
Worse than that, we lost sight of
Kennedy. Still we kept on blindly,
trusting to luck ana common sense in
picking the road.
/ was peering ahead over the
drivers shoulder, the window down,
trying to direct him, when we ap-
preached fork in the road. Here
was dilemma which must be decided
at once, rightly or wrongly.
As we neared the crossroad / gave
an involuntary exclamation. Beside

OF a man. Our driver pulled up with a
jerk and was out of the car in an in
slant.
There lay Kennedy! Someone had
blackjacked him. He was groaning
and just beginning to show signs of
consciousness as l bent over.
whats the matter, old MANI" I
| asked, helping him to his feet.
He looked about dazed moment,
then seeing me and comprehending, he
pointed excitedly, but vaguely.
"Elaine!" he cried. They've kid
naped Elaine!"
What had really happened, as we
learned later from Elaine and others,
was that when the crossroads was
reached the three crooks in the limou-
sine had stopped long enough to speak
to an accomplice stationed there, &C
cording to their plan for a getaway.
He was tough-looking individual who
might have been hoboing it to the city.
When, a, few minutes later, Ken
nedy and Elaine had approached the
fork, their driver had slowed up, as if

Elaine, equal TO anything, did so. and
Craig bent down and cranked the en-
CINE. It started on the first spin.
"See;" he exclaimed. There wasn't
anything, after all"
He took a step toward the taxicab.
"Mr. Kennedy-look Quit" cried
Elaine.
Craig turned. But it was too late.
The rough-looking fellow had awak-
ened to life. Suddenly he stepped up
behind Kennedy with q blackjack. As
the heavy weight descended Craig
crumpled up on the ground uncon-
scious.
With a scream, Elaine turned and
started to run. But the chauffeur
seized her arm.
Say, bo," he asked of the rough fell
low, what does Clutching Hand want
with her? Quick! There's another
cab likely to be along in moment
with that fellow Jameson in it. !"
The rough fellow, with an oath,

dicating the road.
And away they sped, leaving Ken
nedy unconscious on the side of the
road, where we found him.
What are we to do?" | asked help
lessly of Kennedy, when We had at
last got him on his feet.
His head still ringing from the force
of the blow Of the blackjack, Craig
stopped down, then knelt in the dust
of the road. then ran ahead a bit,
where it was somewhat muddy.
(Which way-which way?" he NUT
tered to himself
/ thought perhaps the blow had af-
fected him and leaned over to see
what he was doing. Instead, he was
studying the marks made by the tire
of the Clutching Hand cab.
More slowly now and carefully, we
proceeded, for a mistake meant losing
the trail of Elaine.
We came to another crossroads and
the driver glanced at Craig "Stop!"
he ordered
