happen" remarked Craig at length.
"Oh." cried Aunt Josephine. tits
too good to be true"
well do It," exclaimed Kennedy
quickly, "only this is the ring that
we'll give them"
He drew from his pocket the replica
of the ring which he had made and
showed 1t to Aunt Josephine. Then
he drew from another pocket the real
ring, replacing the replica.
Here's the real one," he said in
low tone. Guard it as you would your
life"
Aunt Josephine was worn out with
the sleepless nights of worry since
Elaine's disappearance. After we had
gone. she tried to eat dinner, but found
that she had no appetite.
Although she had intended to sit up
until she received some word from
Kennedy that night, the long strain
had told on her, and in spite of her
worry about Elaine, she decided, at
length, to retire.
Aunt Josephine, clasping the jewel
case tightly, mounted the stairs and
entered her room. She locked the door
carefully and put the jewelry case un-
der her pillow. Then she switched off
the light.
A moment later small piece of the
vase seemed to break away from the
rest of the mosaic, as though 1t were
knocked out from the inside. Then
large piece fell out, and another.

Silently he tiptoed to the doorway
and listened. There was not sound.
Just as noiselessly then he went back
to the library table and, muffling the
telephone bell, took down the receiver.
He whispered number, waited, then
whispered some directions.
A moment later he wormed his way
out Of the library and into the drawing
room. On he went cautiously, snake
like, up the stairs, until he came to the
door of Aunt Josephine's rooms
He bent down and listened. There
was no sound except Aunt Josephine's

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystihed by
q series of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue TO the criminal is the warn
Ing letter which is sent to the victims,
signed with "clutching hand" The
latest victim of the mysterious assassin
Is Taylor Dodge, the insurance president.
His daughter. Elaine. employs Craig
Kennedy the famous scientific detective,
to 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 Clutching Hand is at last found
TO be none other than Perry Bennett
Elaine's lawyer and the man she is en-
gagged to marry. Bennett fees to the
den Of one OF his Chinese criminals. The
Chinaman forces from Bennett the secret
OF the whereabouts of 100000. Then he
gives the lawyer a potion which will sus-
pend animation for months. Kennedy
reaches Benefits side just after he has
lost consciousness and supposes him dead.

LEO FRANK HAS CHANCE.
Physicians Succeed In Stopping Flow
OF Blood From Wound.


Milledgeville. Ga-Leo M. Frank is
In the Georgia State Prison hospital
with what attendants said was a fight
ing chance for recovery. Physicians
had succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood from a jagged wound in his
throat made with a butcher knife in
the hands of Williams Green, a fellow
convict also serving a life term for
murder The blow was struck as
Frank slept in his bunk in dormi-
tory.
An investigation of the attack prob
ably will be conducted by the Georgia
Prison Commission, the same body
that refused to recommend that
Franks death sentence for the murder
of Mary Phagan be committed to life
Imprisonment Reports from Atlanta
were that Governor Harris intimated
he would start such an investigation
to ascertain If Green acted entirely OF
his own yolition.
Green said, when taken from soil
tary confinement long enough to be
questioned. that he planned the at
tack alone and that no one knew what
he intended to do.

| slid out and went along the edge
of the road. as Craig had directed,
and finally crouched behind a huge
rock.
After a moment to give me a
chance, Craig himself left the car
pulled up close by the side Of the
road and went ahead on foot At last
he came to the crossroads just around
the bend, where, in the moonlight, he
could read the signs: Williams ave-
nue. and "Brownlee avenue" He stood
there a moment.
Suddenly, at his feet in the dust of
the road something heavy seemed to
drop. He looked about quickly. No
one was in sight.
He reached down and picked up a
little Chinese figure. Tapping 1t with
his knuckles he examined it curiously.
1t was hollow.
From the inside he drew out piece
Of paper. He strained his eyes in the
moonlight and managed to make out:
"The Serpent Is all-wise and his
fang 10 fatal. You have signed the
white girls death warrant"
Meanwhile l had made my way
stealthily, peering into the bushes and
careful not even to step on anything
that would make noise and was now,
as l have said, crouched behind the
big rock to which Craig had directed

Chinanan made his way TO an old
barn.
In the dim light Of lantern hang
ing from a rafter could be seen sew
eral barrels in a corner. Without a
moments hesitation Long Sin seized
bucket and placed it under the spig-
OF of one of the barrels. The liquid
poured forth into the bucket, and he
emptied the contents on the floor, I'LL
ing the bucket again and again and
swinging 1t right and left in every
direction, until the barrel had finally
run dry.
Then he moved over to the window,
which he examined carefully. Satisfied
with what he had done, he drew slip
of paper from his pocket and hastily
wrote a note, resting the paper on an
old box. When he had finished writ
ing he folded up the note and thrust
it into a little hollow-carved Chinese
figure, which he took also from his
pocket
With final hasty glance about he
extinguished the lantern, letting the
moonlight stream ftfuliy through the
single window Then he left the barn,
with both front and rear doors open.
Taking advantage Of every bit of
shelter, he made his way across the
field in the direction OF the crossroads,
finally dropping down behind a huge
rock some yards from the finger post
that pointed each way to Williams and
Brownlee avenues.
Late that night Kennedy left his
apartment prepared to follow the in
structions in the note which had been
so strangely delivered in the vase.
AS he climbed into roadster he
tucked the robe most carefully into a
corner under the leather seat.
"For heavens sake, Craig" gasped
from under the robe, '1et me have a
little air."

the engine.

breathing. Silently he drew from a
fold in the loin-cloth a screwdriver and
removed the screws from the hinges of
the door. Quietly he pushed the bed
room door open, pivoting 1t on the
lock, just far enough open so that he
could slip through
Creeping along the floor, like the
reptile whose sign he had assumed,
he came nearer and nearer Aunt Jo-
sephine's bed. AS he paused for a
moment his quick eye seemed to catch
sight of the bullying lump under her
pillow. His long, thin hand reached
out and quietly removed the jewel case
from under her pillow.
In a country roadhouse Long Sin
was waiting patiently. The telephone
rang, and the proprietor answered
Long Sin was at his side almost before
he could hand over the receiver. 1t
was Long Sins master, WI.
Beware" came the whispered mes
sage over the wire. Kennedy has
made a false ring. I'll get the real
one. By the great Devil of Cobb, you
must cut him off,"
ut is DONE" returned Long Sin,
hanging up the receiver In great ex-
element.
He hurried out of the room and left
the roadhouse. Down the road in an
automobile, bound between two China
men, one at her head and the other at
her feet, was Elaine, wrapped around
in blankets, not even her face Wis
ible. The guards looked up startled
as Long Sin streaked out of the
shadow to the car.
Quick" he ordered. "The master
will get the ring himself 1 will take
care of Kennedy"
An instant and they were gone, while
Long Sin skunk back into the shadows
from which he had come.

DIRE RESULT OF EARTHQUAKE
"There Is Nothing Left" Well Describes
Conditions of Country After
Such a Disaster.

An eyewitness, who escaped de-
Struction at Avezzano that morning
only because he had not quite reached
the town at the instant of the catastro-
phe, described in simple words what
he saw. The earth all of a sudden
shook violently beneath his feet; there
was great roar and crash and the

town before him in the morning light,
as his eyes rested on it, sank to the
ground in cloud of dust. Presently a
wounded man staggered out from a
pile of ruins and sat down, bleeding
and dazed, and here and there an
other followed and sank down; but be-
meath the ruins were some nine thou
sand persons of whom nine-tenths are
still there. When a wounded refugee
on the way to Rome that evening was
questioned he gave a fairly rational
account of himself, and when asked as
to Avezzano his reply was simply:
