just as we were about to start and

In spite Of my fears Inez went with
out a scene to the laboratory. We
entered, /, at least, not knowing that
a pair of black eyes watched every
movement. The fake gypsy saw us
go in, then hastily came out of door
way into which she had slipped and
hurried downtown.
1t was not long after I arrived, how
ever. that Kennedy and Elaine Joined
me at the laboratory. Kennedy had
evidently carefully prepared just what
he intended to do. Quickly he forced
Inez into the chair which he had al

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 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 to
try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
nedy 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. Eaine'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
100000. Then he gives the lawyer a po-
ton which will suspend animation for
months. Kennedy reaches Benefits side
just after he has lost consciousness.

find it. Perplexed. he looked first
from Elaine then to Aunt Josephine
Are you looking for the gypsy's
handkerchief" Elaine asked finally,
seeing his establishment. Then she
stopped and picked up another hand.
kerchief from the floor. Here 1t is.
1t didn't look very clean, so when she
wasn't looking / dropped it and used
my own"
Kennedy was speechless with re-
lief. He took the other handkerchief
and rapidly ran his hand over 1t. At
last he came to a little hard lump in
the hem. He ripped it open. There
was the little tube of radium!
You're lucky" he exclaimed. "If
you had had that tube over your eyes
it would have done its work in a few
minutes. You might not feel 1t for
some time, but you would have been
blinded at least in a few days, If not
hours"
Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
we're overcome as they thought OF
the peril from which Elaine had been
SO narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain a shudder. For
the moment he forgot even about
Inez. Then, suddenly, he recollected.
"Oh, by the way" he exclaimed.
I've had Walter take a woman over
to the laboratory. He must be there

the fire escape outside.
He reconsidered. Perhaps It would
be best to reconnoiter. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the IRE escape
which led to the back room. There,
as we grouped ourself about the
sphygmograph while Kennedy ex-
planned his plans, Wu's sinister face
gazed In at US for . moment, then
withdrew. Silently he made his way
down again to the ground.
In the back room Kennedy took his

The fake gypsy was looking eagerly
about the room. apparently for a
means of escape. Just then Jennings
hurried in.
Jennings" cried Aunt Josephine,
''seize that woman!"
As Jennings approached her, the
gypsy suddenly developed q remark
able strength. She gave him q shove
that sent him Keeling. His foot caught
on the edge of the fountain and he
staggered a minute. unable to recover
his balance, then, with a great splash,
fell in. The gypsy turned and fed
through the palms, Elaine and Aunt
Josephine following her.
She ran as far as she could, coming
up to the glass wall that formed
the inner end of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. She
seized a little rustic chair and
dashed it through the glass. Cautious
ly, she managed to make her way
through the opening she had broken.
Jennings had, by this time, picked
himself out of the fountain and, drip

at last, the gypsy dropped down be-

At that moment a cab pulled up
furiously before the house. and Ken

gypsy had gained just time enough.

have seen her.

Stealthily she managed to slip out of

This man. however, was ambitious.
He wanted to work himself from

with his hands. Pictured in his minds
