SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by a
series Of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal Is the warm
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with a "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, 10
llnravel the mystery. What Kennedy ac-
complishes is told by his friend Jameson,
a9newspaper man. Enraged at the deter
mined effort which Elaine and Craig Ken
needy are making to put an end to ms
crimes, the Clutehing Hand, as this
strange criminal is known. resorts to all
sorts of the most diabolical schemes TO put
them out of the way. Each chapter OF the
story tells of a new plot against their
lives and of the way the great detective
uses all his skill TO save this pretty slrl
and himself from death.

enough time to dodge through and
slam the secret door in the faces OF
the squad as they rushed in.
Back of the house Clutching Hand
and the other crooks were now pass
ing through bricked passage. The
fire had got SO far beyond control by
this time that it drove the police back
from their efforts to open the secret
door. Thus the Clutching Hand had
made good his escape through the
passage which led out, as we later dis
covered, to the railroad tracks along
the river
"Down Therein. Kennedy-and
M. Jameson" cried Elaine, pointing
at the trap which was hidden in the
strife.
The fire had gained terrific head

and stuck 1t down into the basement.

Gated, we staggered up.
Are you hurt?" asked Elaine. anx-

piled, forgetting all in meeting the
eager questioning of her wonderful
eyes

'In there" pointed Kennedy, quick

followed him in with a heavy
heart
Outside could be seen the two sin
lister faces In the crowd watching IN
tently, with eyes fixed on the state
room. Finally one of the crooks
boarded the ship hastily, while the
other watched the TWO porters come
out of the stateroom and pause at the
window, speaking back into the room
as though answering commands.
Then the porters quickly ran along
the deck and down the plank to get
the rest of the luggage.
They took a small, but very heavy
box and Juggling and Juggling, FASTENED

were too late. The gangplank was be-

They shouted, but the ships officers
waved them back.
The porters argued. But 1t was nc

the box back to the Dodge car.
Miss Dodge was just getting in al

Already we could hear the ham
mers and axes OF the police whom
Kennedy had called upon before, as
they battered at this outside door.

lookout suddenly had given a startled
stare and a suppressed cry CHANGING

Almost before he could cry out and
retreat to give warning they mad

sounding blows had been struck.
The lookout quickly had fed and
drawn the bolts Of a strong inner
door, and the police began battering
that impediment.
Instantly Clutching Hand turned to
LeCroix at the Fray machine.
Finish them!" he shouted.
We we're now backed up against

to LeCroix
Kennedy had voluntarily placed him

to avoid the ray, he took the asbestos
platinum shield from his pocket and
slid il forward as best he could over
the wall to the spot where the ray
struck.
II reflected the ray.
But so powerful was 1t that even
that part of the ray which was defect
ed could be seen to strike the ceiling
in the corner, which was of wood IN
stantly, before Kennedy could even
move the shield, the wood burst into
flames.
Above us now smoke was pouring
into the room where the DETECTED ray
struck the floor and flames broke out

what TO do.
