Copyright, 1914, by the Star Company. All Foreign Righto Reserved jjrpHBRE must be something new In I order to catch criminals nowadaya. A The old methods are all right—as far as they go. But while we have been using them criminals have kept pace with modern science." Craig Kennedy laid down hie newspaper and filled his pipe with my tobacco. In college we had roomed together, had shared everything, even poverty, nad now that Craig was a professor of chemistry In charge of the laboratory at the university and I had a sort of roving commission on the staff of the Star, we had continued our arrangement. Prosperity found us In a rather neat bache lor apartment on the Heights, not for from the university. "It has always seemed strange to me," he went on slowly, "that IJO one has ever en dowed a professorship In crhninal science In any of the large colleges."' I tossed aside my own paper and retrieved the tobacco. "Why should there be a chair In criminal science?" I replied argumentatively, settling back In my chair. "I've done my turn at police headquarters reporting, and I can tell you, Craig, It's no place for a college profes sor. Crime Is —Just crime. And as for deal ing with It the great detective Is born and bred to It. College professors for the soci ology of the thing—yet; for the detection of tt, give me a Byrnes." "On the contrary," persisted Kennedy, his clean-out features betraying sn earnestness which I ki ew Indicated that he was leading up to something of Importance, "there Is a distinct pVace for science In the detection of crime. On the Continent they are far in ad vance of us In that respect. We are mere children beside a dozen crime specialists over there'whom I could name." , "Yes?" I queried, rather doubtfully. "But where does the college professor come In?" "Tou must remember, Walter," he pursued, warming up to his subject, which had evi dently been on his mind for some time, "that it's only within the last ten years or so that we hare had the really practical college pro fessor who could do It. The silk-stockinged variety Is out of date now. To-day we have professors of everything—why not professors of crime science?" Still, as I shook my head dubiously, he hastened to clinch his point. "Colleges have got down to solving the hard facts of life nowadays—pretty nearly all, except one. They still treat crime in the old way, study Its statistics and pore over Its causes and the theories of how it can be prevented and punished. But as for running down the criminal himself, scientifically, relentlessly— bah! we haven't made enough progress to mention since the hammer and tongs method of your sainted Byrnes." "Doubtless you will write a brochure on this most Interesting subject," I suggested, "and let It go at that." "No, 1 am serious," he replied, determined for some reason or other to make a convert of me. "I mean exactly what I say. I am going te apply science to the detection of crime the same sort of methods by which we trace out the presence of a mysterious chem lcsl or track down a deadly germ. And be fore I have gone far I am going to enlist Walter Jameson as an aide. I think I shall need you In my business." "How do I come In?" I asked. "Well, for one thing, you will get a 'scoop,' a 'beat'—whatever you call It In that news paper Jargon of yours." Kennedy, during the previous year, had travelled much, especially In London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna, where he had studied the amazing growth abroad of the new criminal aclence. Already I knew something by hear say, of the men he had seen—Gross. Lacas ■agne, Relss and the Immortal Bertlllon. "Fortunately, Walter." he pursued, "the crime-hunters have gone ahead In science more than the criminals. It's to be'my Job to catch criminals. Yours, It seems to me, Is to show peop'e now they can never hope to beat the modern scientific detective." "Go as far as you like," I exclaimed, con vinced at last. And so It was that we formed this strange new partnership In crime science that has ex isted ever since. The Murder of Banker Fletcher (( TAMESON, here's a story F wish you'd I follow up," remarked the managing J editor of the Star to me one evening I had turned In an assignment of the la.te afternoon. He banded mo a clipping from the evening Chief Asked to Find Mother A letter was received here yesterday by Chief of Police Joseph B. Hutchi son, from Mrs. Lizzie Wood, of Steuben ville, 0., asking him to try and locate Mrs. Lucy Jones, colored, who is claim ed to be a former resident of this city. The letter stated she i« wanted by her daughter, Freida, who is at the point of death at her Ohio homo. Colonel ilutcbison was also asked to have this edition of the Star, and I quickly ran ay eyo over the headline: 'THE CLUTCHING HAND' WINS AGAIN. NEW YORK'S MYSTERIOUS MASTER CRIMINAL PER FECTS ANOTHER COUP. City Police Completely Baffled. "Here's this murder of Fletcher, the retired banker and trustee of the university," he explained. "Not a clue—except a warning letter signed with this mysterious clutching fist. Last week it was the robbery fcf the Haxworth Jewels and the killing of old Hax wort:.. Again the curious sign of the hand. Then there was the dastardly attempt on Sherburne, the steel magnate. Not a trace of the assailant, except this same clutching fist. So It has gone. Jameson—the most alarming and inexplicable series of murders that has ever happened In this country, and nothing bat this uncanny hand to trace them by." The editor raueed a : loment, and then ex claimed: "Why, thle fellow items to take a diabolical—l might almost say pathological —pleasure In crimes of violence, revt Te, avarice and self-protection. Sometimes it seems aa If he delights in the pure deviltry of the thing. It is weird." He leaned over and epoks In a low, tense tone. "Strangest of all, the tip has Just come to us that Fletcher, Haxworth, Sherburne and all the rest of these wealthy men were insured in the Consolidated Mutual Life. Now, Jameson, I want you to flnd Taylor Dodge, the president, and interview him. Get what you can at any cost." I had naturally thought first of Kennedy, but there was no time now to call him up. and, besides. I must see Dodge Immediately. 'Dodge, I discovered over the telephone, was not at home, nor at any of the clubs to which the belonged. Late though it was, I concluded that he was at his No amount of persuasion could get me past the door, and, though I found out later, and shall tell soon what was going on there, I determined, about 9 o'clock, that the best way to get at Dodge was to go to his house on Fifth avenue, if I bad to camp on his front doorstep antil morning. The harder I found the stor. to get the more I wanted it. With some misgivings about being ad mitted, I rang the bell of tne splendid, though not very modern, Dodge residence. An English butler, with a nose that must have been his fortune, opened the door and gravely Informed me that Mf Dodge was not at home, but was expected at any mo ment. Once in, I was not going lightly to give up that advantage. I bethought myself of hia daughter, Elaine, one of the moat pop-. ular debutantes of the season, and sent In my card to her, on a chance of interesting her and seeing her father, writing on the bottom of the card, "Would like to Interview Mr. Dodge re-rarding Clutching Hand." Summoning up what assurance I had, which la sometimes consideraJble, I followed ths butler down the hall as he bore my card. As he opened the door of the drawing room I caught a vision of a slip of a girl in eve ning clothes. Elaine Dodge wu both the Ingenue and the . thlete—the thoroughly modern type of equally at home th tennis and tango, table talk and tea. Vivacious eyes that hinted at a stunning- amber brown sparkled beneath masses of the most wonderful au burn hair. Her pearly teeth, when she smiled, were marvellous. Ancf she smiled often, for life to her seemed a. continuous film of en joyment. Near her I recognised from his pictures Harry Dennett, the rising young corporation lawyer, a mighty good looking fellow, with an afTaole, pleasing way about him, perhaps thlrty-flv* years old or so, but already prom inent-and quite friendly with Dodge. "Who Is it, Jennings?" she asked. A reporter, Miss Dodge," answered the butler, glaring superciliously back at me. "And you know hor your father dislikes to see any one here at the house,"/he added deferentially to her. ' I took In the situation at a glance. Ben nett was trying not to look discourteous, but announcement read fr<wn the pulpits of all the colored churches of this city. East End A.

The box was erected yester day by the city electricians. this was a call on 'Elaine, and It had been Interrupted. I could expect no help from that quarter. Still, I fancied that Blaine was not averse to trying to pique her visitor, and determined at leas* to try It. "Miss Dodge," I pleaded, bowing as If I ■had known them all my life. "I've been try ing to And your father all the evening. It's very important." She looked up at me surprised and In doubt whether to laugh or qtamp her pretty little foot In Indignation at my stupendous nerve. She laughed. "You are a very brave young man," she rippled, with a roguish look at Bennett's discomfiture over the Interruption of the tete-a-tete. There was a note of seriousness in It, too, that made me ask quickly "Why," The smile flitted from her face, and In lta place came a frank earnest expression, which I later learned to like and respect very much. "My father has declared he will eat the \lery next reporter who tries to Interview him here," she answered. I was about to prolong the waiting time by some Jolly about such a stunning girl not having by any possibility such a cannibal of a parent, when the rattle of the changing gears of a oar outside told of the approach of a limousine. The big front door opened and Elaine ti ig herself lr the arms of an elde-ly, stern-faced, gray-haired men. "Why, dad," she cried, "where have you been? I mlss<d you so much at " ! nner. I'll be -o glad when this terrible business gets cleared up. Tell me. What Is on your mind? What la It that wor ries you now?" I noticed then that Dodge seemed ■» rougV't up and a bit unnerved, for he sank rather heavily Into a chair, brushed his face with his handkerchlet and breathed heavily. Elaine hovered over him solicitously, repeal ing her question. With a mighty effort he seemed to get him self together. He rose and turned to Ben nett. "Harry," he exclaimed, I've got the Clutching Hai.d!" The two men stared at each other. "Yes," continued Dodge, 'Tve found out how to trace It, and to-morrow I am going to set the alarms of the ell/ at rest by ex Just then Dodge caught sight of me. For the moment I thought perhaps he was going to fulfil his threat. "Who the devil—why didn't you tell me a reporter was here, Jennings?" he sputtered indignarttly, pointing toward the door. Argument, entreaty, were of no avail. He stamped crustily Into the library, taking Bennett with him and leaving me with Elaine. Inside I could hear them talking, and managed to catch enough to place to gether the story. I wanted to stay, but Elaine, smiling at my enthusiasm,tshook her head and held out her hand in one of her frank, straight-arm handshakes. There was nothing to do but go. At least, I reflected, T had the greatest part of the story—all except the one b' - thing, however—the name of the criminal. But Dodge would know him to-morrow. I hurried back to the Star to write my story In time to cai?h the last morning edition. Meanwhile, if I may anticipate my story, I must tell of what we later learned had hap pened to Dodge so completely to upset h!in. Ever since the Coi solidated Mutual had been hit by the murders he had had many lines out In the hope of enmeshing the per jfetrator. That hlght, as I found out the next day, he had at last heard of a clue. One 01 the company's detectives had brought In a red-handed, lame, partly paralyzed crook, who enjoyed the expressive monnlker of "Limpy Red." "Limpy Red" was a gunman of some renown, e"ll fared and, having noth ing much to lose, desperate Whoever the master criminal of the clutching hand ..light have been, he had seen to employ "I-iimpy," but had not taken the precaution of getting rid of him soon enough when he was through. Therefore Limpy had a grievance, and now descended u ider pressure to the lo» - ovel of snitching to Dodge In his office. "Nc, Civernor," the trembling wretch had said as he handed over a grimy envelops, "I ain't never seen his face—but here is direc tions how to find his hangout." As Limpy ambled out he turned to Dodge, quivering at t. e enormity of his unpardon able sin In gangland 'For God's sake. Gov ernor," he im "ored, "don' let on how you found out!' And yet Limpy Red had scarcely left with his promise not to tell, when Dodge, happen ing to turn over some papers, camo upon an envelope left on his own desk, bearing that mysterious clutching hand. He tore it open, and read in amazement: "Destroy Limpy Red's Instructions within the next 1 our." Dodge gased about In wonder, ""his thing was getting on his nerves. He determined to go home and rest. Outside the house, as he left his car, pasted over the monogram on the door, he had found another note, with the same weird mark and the single word: "remember" . m Much of this I had -ready gathered from what I overhead Dodge t-"'lnj ennett as they entered the library. Some also I have pieced together from the story of a servant who overheard. At any rate, In spite of the pleadings of young Bennett Dodge refused to take warn ing. Into the safe In his beautifully fitted library he deposited Llmpy's document In sn envelope containing all the correspondence that had led up to the final step in the dis covery. It was late in the evening when I returned to our apartment and, not Andinc; Kennedy there, knew that I would discover him at the laboratory. "Craig," I cried, as I burst In on him, 'Tve got a. cue for you—greater than any ever before." I Kennedy looked up calmly from the ruck of scientific Instruments that ourrounded him—test tubes, beakers, carefully labelled bottles. , He had been examining a piece of cloth, and had laid It aside in disappointment near his magnifying glass. Just now he was watching a reaction In a series of test tubes standing on his table.

DANCING AFTER THE GAMES ADMISSION, 23 CENTS CAUSES OF THE HIGH WATER Qtate Supply Commission Issues State ment on Conditions Leading Up to Recent Floods The State Water Supply Commission has iroue<l a statement of the causes o-f the recent high water and conditions in that regard as they uow exist. It "The storm which was centered over Nevada last Thursday traveled across the United States in an easterly direc tion and centered itself over the Cireat 1 jakes on Monday, accompanied by a high temperature causing a slight rain fall over Pennsylvania. The precipita tion over the State averaged but little over one-half inch, yet its effect on Pennsylvania streams, where there was accumulated snow in the watersheds, was appreciable, though 110 flood stages were approached' and no warning were issued. "Over the western and eastern parts of tho State, where tho amount of accumulated snow was small, the streams were slightly affected, while in the central part, over the Susquehanna watershed, where there was a consider able amount of accumulated snow, which contained a high water equiva lent, the streams approached rather high stages. "On the North Branch of the Sus quehanna river a stage of 18.5 feet was reached at Wilkes-Barre; at Wil liamsport on the West Branvh a stage of 12.8 feet was reached; at Newport on the Juniata- river there was h maximum stage of 14.2 feet, and at llarrisburg on the main stream there was a maximum stage of about lli feet. "During the past six weeks, five noteworthy freshets have occurred in the Susquehanna river watershed, which is an extremely unusual occurrence. Great advantage has boen taken of this unusual condition by the Water Supply Commission and many gaging stations recently established by the Commission have been rated in a few weeks, which under ordinary conditions would re quire many months to obtain the re sults.

When the Titanic 'sank with more than 1,000 of its pas i sengcrs, the world was horrified. That. I was a thing that occurred only once. Loss of life iu great numbers occurs only once in a while.
