Helen Holmes in the
Hazards of Helen

Owing to the steep grade at Lone
Point, King attempts to tighten the
brake of the freight car which is side
tracked at that station. The brake
chain snaps and the car commences to
roll down hill.
King promptly loses his head. In
stead of jumping to the ground, he
ciings to the brake wheel in terror, Hell
en- who has1Iwitnessed h e accident
vainly shouts out to King, ordering
him to jump.
The girl telegrapher knows that the
steep grade will cause the runaway to
travel at terrific speed by the time it
reaches Elbow Curve. This would mean
derailment of the car and death or in
jury to the man on top of it. Spurred
into action.by the thought of Kings
peril, Helen seizes coil of rope. mounts
her broncho and dashes across country
Helen's destination is Reeds Gullv
through which the freight car mustpass
before it reaches Elbow Curve. She
reaches the spot few minutes before
the runaway appears. Hastily max
ing the rope fast to trees on opposite
sides OF the gully, Helen swings out
hand over hand until she is above the
center of the track.
The freight car appears. King still
clinging to the useless brake wheel
sees Helen and understands what she
intends doing. The man stands un-
right. Just aa the runaway dashes
beneath the brave girl seizes King with
her free. hand. The ropes rebound aids
Helen in her supreme effort to raise
hlng. The man grasps the line and
follows his rescuer back to safety.

THE EXPLOITS
OF ELAINE
CONTINUED from preceding pagel

AS ne stood over the body, gazing
down at it, depressing the emotions of
a strong man, he turned to Elaine, and
lin a low voice exclaimed: 1.-THE
Clutched Hand did this l shall conse-
crate my life to bring this man to JUS
tice!"
He spoke tensely, and Elaine, look
ing up into his face, as if imploring his
help in her hour of need, unable to
speak, merely grasped his hand.
Kennedy, who, in the meantime, had
stood apart from the rest of us, was
examining the telephone carefully.
"a clever crook" I heard him NUT
ter between his teeth. HE must have
worn gloves. Not finger print-at
least here"
Perhaps / can do no better than to
reconstruct the crime as Kennedy
later pieced these startling events to-
gether.
Long after l had left and even after
Bennett left, Dodge continued working
in his library, for he was known as a
pTodigious worker.
Had he taken the trouble, however,
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 a hidden spring in the
wall, opened a secret panel and placed
most of the important documents in
this hiding place.
Downstairs the masked master GRIM
inal had already attached a voltmeter
to the wires he had installed, waiting.
Just then could be heard the tinkle
of Dodge's telephone, and the old man
rose to answer it. AS he did so he
placed his foot on the iron register,
his hand taking the telephone and the
receiver. AT that instant came pow
Ierful electric flash. Dodge sank on the
Idocr. clutnhire the instrument. eisc-

iGrCSeIec.
A moment later the criminal slid
SILENTLY into Dodge's room. Carefully
lputting on rubber gloves and avoiding
touching the register, he wrenched the
telephone from the grasp of the dead
man, replacing 1t 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
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 fame, lasting per-
baps ten seconds, poured out from the
top of the safe.
II was not an explosion, but just a
dazzling, intense fame that sizzled and

could have followed mis- 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 mad turned from mis- rurlle
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. 1t 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 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
With them, in order not to confuse
any possible finger prints on the bust,
he lifted it off.
I gave gasp of surprise.
There, In the top of the safe,
yawned gaping hole, through which
one could have thrust his armI

cracked 1t 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 moment longer
than necessary, the masked criminal
advanced again and actually put his
hands down through the top of the
safe, pulling out a bunch OF papers.
Quickly he thrust them all, with just
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
if to cover them with film of natural
oils Then he deliberately pressed
them over the statue in several
places. 1t was a 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. 1t 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.
TITS all right" he whispered hoarse-
ly to the man. Now you attend to
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
favorlte dive up on Park Row.
Had the Bowery "sinkers" not got
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.
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 a strange
resemblance to the lookout who had
been stationed outside at the Dodge
house a 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 arive-had turned a sufficient
ly dark and deserted corner.
A muf1ed thud, sti1ed 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 1t had not been night of
complete success for the master GRIM
inal. as anyone might have seen who
