one of the Cinnamon picking up her
suitcase. Across the almost untrav-
eled road they forced her and down
on the stone dock, every footstep
logged by WI and his emissaries.
Get into the boat" WI ordered.
She climbed down into the dirty
yawl, and the Cinnamon tossed her
suitcase after her.
eff you see that for any reason she
is about to escape" added WI savage
ly, "do away with her"
He finished with a threatening ges-
ture as the Cinnamon followed Elaine
into the boat. Then he turned on
his heel and walked rapidly back to
the deserted house. There he climbed
into the automobile with the two
toughs and all were rapidly driven
away by the faithless mechanician.
The yawl tossed up and down on
the rough swells that came in from
the ocean, as the powerful arms of
the sailors pulled her out through the
blackness to the schooner.
There Elaine was lifted over the rail
and forced across the deck down into
the murky, ill-smelling hold. 1t made
no difference to Gregor whether he
carried a cargo of contraband or a
white slave. In his gruff voice he bel
lowed orders for getting under way,
while the Chinaman half led, half
pushed Elaine into a cramped room
amidships.
He set down the suitcase and, with
a grunt and a scowl left, locking the
door and shutting along the passage
way to a steep fight Of steps to the
deck.
Elaine paced up and down her mar
row prison distracted.
Suddenly she paused moment as
her eye fell on the suitcase. There
flashed through her mind the message
I had given her from Kennedy.
She seized the suitcase and tore 1t
open with nervous fingers.

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by q
series of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn

with "clutching hand" The latest VIC
tim Of the mysterious assassin is Taylor
Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Ken

try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
needy accomplishes is told by his friend,
Jameson, a newspaper man. After many
fruitless attempts to put Elaine and
Craig Kennedy out Of the way the Clutch
Ing Hand is at last found to be none other
than Perry Bennett, Elaines lawyer and
the man she is engaged to marry. Ben

nese criminals. The Chinaman forces from
Bennett the secret of the whereabouts OF

months. Kennedy reaches Benefits side
just after he has lost consciousness.

was deeply engrossed in her own
thoughts.
How far they had gone she did not
pay much attention, but she knew the
roads we'll. They had come to fork,
and Johnson veered off to the left. In
stinctively Elaine knew that the right
hand road was the more direct. and
she touched little signal that sum-
moned the driver.
you're taking the wrong road" she
called. go to the right"
'I think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge" persisted
Johnson.
It was, however, merely a ruse on
his part to gain time and give some of
Wu's men an opportunity. For, as
the car approached the fork. two
roughnecks, hidden behind rock in
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach of the car had drawn back
closer under cover.
Johnson stopped some hundred feet

was the chance the roughnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car or vehicle was
in sight. Quickly they skunk down the
road.
AS Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stubbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her,
while huge, very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her mouth.
She struggled. but 1t was Of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
Of the car. Johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat, from which
he had descended, leaving the engine
running.
ITO the Van bort jetty," growled
one roughneck. They'll be there
soon."
Quickly Johnson shot the car along

serves at the door anu 1t flew open
Instantly, before the Cinnamon could
recover from their surprise at the sud-
den attack, Craig and Brainard were
on them. One rushed for a window,
smashing it with chair and trying to
get out. Craig seized him and helped
corner the other, who turned out
to be Hop Ling. It was the work
of only a moment to snap the brace
lets on the two and cover them with
gun.
whats that?" demanded Brainard,
looking at the box in the window, as
Kennedy moved over toward it.
"A pigeon trap, suspect" Craig re-
piled. Let's wait"
They sat there for several minutes.
Evidently the Chinese had been wait
ing for something. Craig felt that
waiting might pay.
At last he was rewarded by the
sound of futter outside. A click fol-
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved.
Kennedy loked at 1t a moment, then
carefully opened the door in the back
of the trap and seized the bird. From
the quill on it's leg he took tightly
rolled note and read.

hours. GREGOR.
What did it mean? Threats. impre-
cations, nothing could extract a word
from the two impassive prisoners.
"Come," ordered Kennedy sharply Of

vexation show in his face. walk
ahead of me-"
Two of the gang had been captured,
but WI seemed as far away as ever.
He marched Hop along sullenly, while
Brainard kicked the other Chinaman
to his feet and followed.
They did not have far to go. Scarce
ly block away stood policeman, and
Craig waved to him.
Quickly Craig produced cards Of
Identification and they left their hand
cuffed prisoners with the understand
ing that they were to be held until full
charges could be made against them.
At the first telephone pay station
Craig turned in and called up the lab
oratory, to which had returned.

hung up the receiver excitedly and
tucked the little black box under my
arm as hurried out.
Elaine had decided to motor down
to the country home of one Of her
friends who lived on the shore of New
Jersey, and accordingly, late in the
afternoon, called the garage and or
dered Johnson to have the car ready.
AS Elaine was whirled downtown
and over the ferry from New York she

did my best to get down to the Battery
with the wireless telephone to meet
Kennedy and Brainard, but it was dark
before got there.
As I hurried down to the dock saw
that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting i'm
patiently. 1t was fairly stable craft.
They hauled me aboard and we cast
off. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor,
keeping sharp lookout for any sus-
picious craft. 4
Already WI Fang and couple of
his Heutenants had gone down to the
Van bort jetty. No message had been
received from Gregor, but they felt
sure that he would be there with the
schooner.
Finally WI directed one of his men
to set off signal, fashlight on the
end of the jetty, while he strained his
eyes through the darkness for some
answering signal.
He had not reckoned wrong. Far
out over the water came an answering
signal from the schooner.
"Goodn exclaimed WI with salts
faction, as he turned and picked his
way back up the dock.
On he went alone until he came to
one Of the deserted mansions of gen.
Grafton or two ago which lined the
shore at that point. There, in yard
beside it, stood Elaine's car.
where is the white girl?" asked
WI, calling Johnson.
I'm the house. MASTER" replied the
mechanician subsequently.
"Wait for me here, then," nodded
WI.
Down in musty room in the base
ment Of the deserted house was Elaine.
She was neither bound nor gagged.
In fact, there was no necessity for it.
No one could hear her cries, nor could
she escape, for the two roughnecks who
had seized her were guarding her, be-
sides a couple of Cinnamon.
WI Fang came in silently and moved
over close to her. He said not a word,
but an evil smile spread over his sim
lister face as she shrank from him.
Meanwhile yawl had put out from
the schooner loaded with cans or the
precious contraband drug and had
pulled up at the old stone jet:y and
dock Cinnamon hastily unloaGed it
and started up to the house laden with
the heavy tins.
AS WI stood before Elaine the Chi
namen carrying the dope tins entered
and began piling them up in an old
closet in the room. At last they fin
ished putting it away.
"All is done, MASTER" bowed one
who seemed to be leader.
WI nodded, then turned to Elaine.

and pointing to the door.

Players Don't Know Rules,
Is Charge After Big Quiz

Cy Sanborn. of Chicago, recently
wrote an article about the manner
In which batsmen step out OF the
box whenever a foul ball Is hit. de-
spite the fact that. according TO the
rules. the pitcher is entitled to keep
right on pitching as soon as the
ball Is put in play. Sanborn con-
tends tnat the players seem to take
II for granted that there Is rule
which compels the batter TO step out
OF the box every time foul ball is
hit, and. that nine out OF every ten
bah players don't really know IN
rules.
That Sanborn is right in the latter
conclusion Is the opinion OF many.
Two years ago freak play came up
and the critics thought they would
ask several star players to decide II
or give their Interpretation OF IT.
The first half dozen were not sure
and stated that they did not know
the exact ruling on the play. When
