She climbed down into the dirty
yawl, and the Cinnamon tossed 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
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
grunt andSa scowl left, locking the
door and shutting along the pass age

deck.

Suddenly she paused a moment as

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by a
series of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with "clutching hand" The latest vic
tim of the mysterious assassin is Taylor
Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Ken
nedy, the famous scientific detective, to
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
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, Elaine's lawyer and
the man she is engaged to marry. Ben
nett fees to the den of one of his Chi
nese criminals. The Chinaman forces from
Bennett the secret of the whereabouts of
$1,000, O00 Then he gives the lawyer po-
ton which will suspend animation for
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 well. They had come to a fork,
and Johnson veered off to the left In
stinctively Elaine knew that the right
hand road was the more direct, and
she touched a little signal that sum-
moned the driver.
you're taking the wrong road" she
called. go to the right"
81 think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge" persisted
Johnson.
1t was, however, merely 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 a 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 sor,e hundred feet
or so down the wrcng road past the
rock in answer to E:aine's signal. 1t
was the chance the r-,rghnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car c. vehicle was
in sight. Quickly they ,sllnk down the
road
AS Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stuhbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arE1s circling her,
while huge, very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her mouth
She struggled, but it 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.
"To the Van bort jetty," growled
one roughneck. They'll be there
soon"
Quickly Johnson shot the car along

selves at the door and it 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 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 anap the brace
lets on the two and cover them with a
gun.

looking at the box in She window, as
Kennedy moved over toward it.
GA pigeon trap, I 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 a f1utter outside. A click fol
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved.
Kennedy loked at it 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 a tightly
rolled note and read.
Will be off Van bort jetty in two
hours. GREGOR.
What did it mean? Threats, impre-
cations, nothing could extract word
from the two impressive prisoners.

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 a policeman, and
Craig waved to him.
Quickly Craig produced cards of

his ieutenants 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 a signal, a 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.
"Good!" 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.
'Tn the house, MASTER" replied the
mechanician subsequently.
'Wait for me here, then" nodded
WI.
Down in a 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
but an ev:l smile spread over his sir
lister facS as she shrank from him.
Meanwhile yawl had put out from
the schooner loaded with cans Of the
precious contraband drug and had
pulled up at the old stone jetty and
dock. Cinnamon hastily unloaded it
and started up to the house laden with
the heavy tins.
AS WI stood before Elaine the Chi
Damen carrying the dope tins entered

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.

Half Mile of Sheds

All eastbound traffic over the
Southern Pacific railroad was held
up yesterday between the hours OF 4
'clCck a. m and 10 o'clock last night
on account of fire at Lakeview
which consumed about half a mile #
the company's sheds.
How the fire originated is not
known but at an early hour yester-
day morning watchmen in the sheds
discovered the blaze which was un-
der good headway at the time and
before the company's firefighting ap-
paratus could be pressed into service,
a section about half mile in length
had been consumed.
A wrecker was dispatched to the
scene and as soon as the flames were
brought under control the shoulder

track temporarily repaired SO that
through trains were capable of get
