being prepared for Kennedy. The
note Of warning regarding Elaine was
merely first step in the entangle
ment.
We were in the laboratory and
Craig was at work testing some chem
icals, about to pour a liquid from a
beaker into test tube. He paused
posing both in his hands, listening.
Outside we could hear what sounded
like scratching at the door.
BE quiet just a minute, Walter"
whispered Craig, moving on tiptoe
toward the door.
The fact was that young China
man had crept up cautiously and was
crouching there in a position like
that of runner about to start in a
race. Actually he was merely wait
ing for Kennedy to open the door,
but 1t looked as though he were listen
ing.
AS Craig threw open the door he
started off like a racer, apparently
dropping piece of paper in his hurry.
darted out after him, while Craig
stopped and picked up the paper, then
stood gazing after us.
Down the hall the young Chinaman
dashed until he came to the back en-
trance to the laboratory. There he
turned and crouched again in the
darkness.
A moment later | came after him.
AS / passed the door he seemed to
rise up Unexpectedly and | stumbled

and criss-crossed around the corner
of the building before | could pick my

into the laboratory.

Kennedy In the hall. What's that?"

taking off the receiver, but not an
swering. Instead, she hung up and
wedged the telephone bell with a
piece Of paper so that 1t would not
ring at all,
She was about to move away from
the desk when Elaine entered the IL
brary.
Didn't l hear the telephone bell
ring?' she asked.
Inez was quick. YES" she replied,
my former mistress telephoned that
she is sending my trunk today"
"Oh, very WELL" smiled Elaine, pass
ing on through the library with an
encouraging nod to the girl
IneZ had killed two birds with one
stone, Not only had she disarmed
suspicion about the interrupted call,
bat she had laid the foundation for
the delivery of trunk which at that
moment she knew WI and Long Sin
were preparing and packing.
1t was large trunk, and in it the
two willy Cinnamon were packing a
chair, as well as the phosphorus ma
chine.
Once Mistress Inez induces Elaine
to sit in this chair" observed WI, tap
ping it significantly as he closed the
trunk, half our work is completed"
Uptown Inez, always ON guard, was
uya n he fA Df hn
trunk, when she saw messenger boy
coming up the steps of the house.
Perhaps, it flashed over her, it was
some message from Kennedy. She
must get it, whatever it was.
Without hesitating a moment she
slipped back into the library while the
boy was still at the door and wrote
note of her own at the desk. She
had thought out beforehand just what
plan she was to adopt and the note
read:
Dear Miss Dodge:
The ladies' of the First Baptist
church will send a collector for our
rummage sale this afternoon. We
thank you for whatever you can give
him. Yours truly,
Miss Ella Burns,
Secretary, Woman's Guild.
lnez read over the note she had
written herself as the messenger boy
continued ringing the bell impatiently.
Then she hurried into the hall to open
the door
The boy came in and Inez took the
note he had brought, signing Elaine's
name for it in his book. She had
acted not moment too soon, for
Elaine had heard the bell and was
now coming downstairs herself
WAS it anything for me, Inez?" she
asked
Inez deftly palmed the letter and
substituted the note she had written.
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1915-07-03

Elaine, down in the library, that she
had done nothing yet about the letter
from the Women's Guild.
Il wonder what there is upstairs
that | can give them" she thought,
as she re-read the letter. Il think
I'll see."
She started up, just as Inez was
leaving.
The adventures in the attic heard
Elaine coming and quickly slipped be-
hind door, letting Elaine pass her,
without being seen.
In the attic Elaine started to take
down and examine several dresses for
the rummage sale, laying them aside
one by one.
An attic is always place that calls
up memories of the past. and Elaine
soon began to think of things that
were suggested by one after another
of the discarded dresses. Besides,
some of them were scarcely worth
sending, anyway. She sat down, alb,
sently, in the chair to think 1t over.
Suddenly a secret spring released
a set of bands that automatically and
swiftly clamped over Elaine's arms
and about her body and neck, holding
her in grip of steel. AT the same
time a vapor bulb in the back of the
chair shot out its smothering fumes,
rendering her unconscious.
Elaine was caught in trap.
lnez in silent exultation opened the
attic door just trife, Then her
slender hand reached in and took the
key from the inside, shut the door and
locked it from the outside.
Stealthily Inez crept downstairs
from the attic and into Elaine's room.
There, taking care that neither Marie
nor Aunt Josephine was about, she
opened the closet and took out the
dress, coat and hat which Elaine had
worn when she was kidnapped by WI
and stuffed them into a suitcase Inez
closed the suitcase quickly, threw on
her own hat and coat and left the
house unobserved.
Half an hour later she entered the
opium joint on Mott street.
There were both WI and Long Sin
carefully examining blonde wig made
up as closely as possible to resemble
the golden masses that We're the
crown of Elaine's beauty. Four or
five other Cinnamon sat and stood
about at respectful distance.
Have you the clothes?' asked WI,
greeting Inez.
Yes" she returned. "All has been
done exactly as you ordered"
Good complimented WI. Then
you may prepare yourself immediate
ly."
In the meantime second trap was

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

Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Kennedy
the famous scientific detective to try to
unravel the mystery. What Kennedy ac-
complishes Is told by his friend Jameson.

After many fruitless attempts to put
Elaine and Craig Kennedy out of the way
the Clutching Hand is at last found to be

his Chinese criminals. The Chinaman

wrist pressing on the rope.
His heart fairly leaped II worked!
The cuff link which he had devised
as cigarette lighter as a joke on me
was burning the rope.
Then he pulled at the weakened
ropes as he had before In his futile
struggles.
They broke.
Just on the other side OF the door he
could hear the low buzz of the argu-
ment as Long Sin urged WI to allow
him to kill Kennedy.
Very well, then" WI at last
agreed, looking at his watch and nod.

"Yes, ma'am," she replied, handing
Elaine the faxed note.
Elaine read it. II didn't know about
the rummage sale before" she com.

but | guess I'll have to give them
something"
She sat down for moment to look
over new fashion magazine. Out
side In the hallway Inez was reading
the note which the messenger boy
had brought, with the warning post
script written by Kennedy under
meath. She knew, as she destroyed
1t, that it was only a part of Wus
subtle plan to alarm Kennedy and
start him on false scent.
1t was not many minutes later that
the bell rang again, and this time
Jennings answered the door, disclos-
Ing the expressman with a heavy
trunk.
"Oh, guess that's my trunk" Inez
exclaimed MAY have it taken up to
the attic, out Of the way?"
The men carried the big trunk up
stairs into the attic, large room full
of trunks, some old furniture and
great many old dresses hanging up,
AS they set it down she signed the
receipt for it, and the expressmen
clumped downstairs.
For moment she leaned over the
railing and looked after them to make
sure that she was alone, then hastily
locked the door and ran back to the
trunk to unlock 1t.
First she took out the chair which
WI had devised and placed it near the
clothes hanging up. Next she re-
moved the phosphorus mechanism
and placed it In the shadow back
Of the chair, piling up some excelsior
and other dry stuff over and around it.
lnez had scarcely completed her
arrangements when 1t occurred to

then he heard footsteps outside.
Quickly he replaced the ropes about
