THRILLING SCENES IN SERIAL
AT STRAND THEATRE

AS the Hidden Hand approaches
Doris she Struggles to loosen the
bonds. He unhinds her and she leaps
up. She realizes that the Hidden
Hand intends TO kill her. She at
ftempts to escape but is caught and
knocked to the floor in the fifth cpl
sode of Pathe's 1.-The Hidden Hand" at
the Strand Theatre next Tuesday.
The Hidden Hand overpowers Doris
and is about TO shoot the poisonous
gas from his Gauntlet of Death as
Ramsey rushes in. He Immediately
leaps through the window. She speaks
81 thought you were dead. 1t must
have been your double" Doris plain
ly sees that the letter she received was
a forgery. AS Ramsey is about to
take Doris in his arms, the jealous
Verda enters.
Now that Ramsey has located the
Hidden Hands den, he determines to
blow it up. ~Sneaking into the cave
he inserts a stick of dynamite into the
upper part of the roof. Attaching
wires to the stick, Ramsey runs them
under the ground to his room. The
Hidden Hand, unseen by Ramsey, has
followed him back to the Whitney
home. Secretly seeing Verda he in
structs her to lead Doris to the den.
Not suspecting Verda, Doris falls an
easy victim. Her chance arrives.
Verda throws a stick and Doris's dog
runs after it, followed by Doris. The
stick lands at the entrance of the den
and Doris decides to venture in. Be-
lieving it to be the proper moment,
Ramsey pulls down the rack bar. The
overhanging lodge. Doris is covered
with the wreckage. After struggling
desperately Doris is able to raise her
head from the dirt. She is almost
suffocated with the smoke.
Meanwhile, DR.. Scarley, who is en-
gagged to Doris, sneaks up the stairs
and into Ramsey's room. He inquiries
about the instrument on the table and
then advises him that he had better
go and see the outcome of his clever
trap. Puzzled, Ramsey rushes to the
den.
Doris is still struggling with the dog,
who now claws his way through the
outside. The dog, pushed by Doris, is
able to get through. Immediately he
runs down the road. Seeing Ramsey,
he leaps up at him. Wondering what
is the matter, Ramsey follows and is
led to Doris. Ramsey pulls Doris
through and carries her off.
Unsuccessful in his last attempt, the
Hidden Hand again plots against
Doris. With Verda's assistance it is
s He forces her to have Doris
take a ride with her in her speedster.
Driving along, Verda sees a man
struck by a machine and Immediately
stops and goes to him. Doris is at
tackled by an emissary of the Hidden
Hand. She screams to Verda to go for
help but to no avail.
Doris is brought to the den of the
Hidden Hand. In the den she breaks
away from the emissary and runs into
an air chamber and slams the door.
Frightened, she erOuches down. Sud
denly the pressure gauge above her
head begins to record rising air pres

the lock but realizes the pressure is
too great. Water begins to bubble
into the small chamber in which Doris
is imprisoned. Soon it is up to Doris
neck.

MARRIED LIFE
The Flattery OF An Amateur
PaImiSt.

I've never seen a more Interesting
hand" declared Mrs. Barton, as she
traced the lines in He1en's pink palm.
You're very emotional and very ideal
istic, are you not2"
Helen flushed. To have ones char
acteristics told before a group of lis
tenerS was somewhat discOncerting.
It was one of Mrs. Stevens eve
nings at home. Mrs. Barton was
young society woman who had studied
palmistry as a social asset. Since it
appealed to the egotism and love Of
the personal in every one, it was a
most popular ''parlor trick and
caused her to be much in demand.
And you're very impulsive," went
on Mrs. Barton. You do many things
on impulse that you regret afterward.
You're very generous-too generous,
sometimes. You're apt to give up your
own pleasures for the sake Of anyone
you love-
That's true interrupted Mrs.
Stevens, shes always sacrificing her
self for that husband of hers
ooh, I'm not going to have it read
trying to draw away her hand ct
isn't fair-I didn't listen to the
others"
"Al1 right" laughed Mrs. Stevens,
you can have your seance alone
That's better" Mrs. Barton drew
Helen's hand closer as the Iotllers
moved off. It's harder for me to read
when any ones listening. And you're
particularly sensitive, are you not?
Your hand shows that. It's one OF
the most sensitive I've ever seen.
It's an artistic hand, too, have you
ever studied art?"
Helen shook her head.
We'll, / should say you'd be sue
cessful in any artistic work. You
have real dramatic ability. Did you
ever think of going on the stage?'
Again Helen shook her head.
A Very Affectionate Nature.
It's pity you never took up some
artistic career. I'm quite sure you'd
have made brilliant success. You're
very emotional, too-these lines show
that. You have a very affectionate ma
ture and very constant one, but
you're little given to jealousy.
You're very true in your friendships.
You want every one to be happy and
