FOURTH EPISODE The Froien Safe. Kennedy swung open the door of our taxicab as we pulled up. safe *t last. before the Dodge mansion, after the rescue of Elaine from the brutal machinations of ihe Clutching Hand. Bennett was on the step of the cab In a moment, and together, one on each side o? Elaine. they assisted her out of the car And up the steps to the house. Elaine's -Aunt Josephine was wait- In* for us in tue drawing-room, very much worried The dear eld lady was quite scandalized as Elaine excitedly told of the thrilling events that had Just taken place. "And to think they—actuallv—car lied you!" she exclaimed, horrified, adding. And I not— ' "But Mr. Kennedy came along and •ared me .lust in time.'* interrupted ISlaine with a smile. "1 was well chaperoned!" Aunt Josephine turned to Craig, gratefully. "How can I ever thank you enough. Mr. Kennedy." she said fer vently. Kennedy was quite embarrassed. With a smile. Elaine perceived his discomfiture, not at all displeased by it. "Come into the library'" she cried gayly. taking his arm "I've something to show you " Where the old safe, which had been burn through, had stood, was now a brand-new safe of the very latest construction ami design—one of those globular safes that look and are so formidable. "Here is the new safe." she pointed out brightly. It is not only proof against explosives, but between the plates is a lining that is proof Against thermit and even that oxyqibetytone blowpipe by which you rescued me from the old boiler It has a time -clock, too. that will prevent its being Opened at night even if any one s'-.ould "learn the combination. They stood before th. safe a mo ment. and Kennedy examined it close ly with much interest. he admired "I knew you'd approve of it." cried Elair.e. much pleased "Now I have something else to show you." She paused at the desk, and from a drawer took out a portfolio of large photographs They were very hand some photographs of herself. "Much more wonderful than the safe,'' remarked Craig earnestly Then, hesitating and a trifle embarrassed, he added. "May I —may 1 have one?" "If you care for it." she said, drop ping her eyes, then glancing up at him quickly. "Care for it?" he repeated. "It will be one of the greatest treasures —" She slipped the picture quickly into on envelope "Come." she interrupted. "Aunt Josephine will be wondering where we are. \ She —she's a demon chaperon." Bennett. Aunt Josephine and my self were talking earnestly as Elaine and Craig returned That morning 1 had noticed Ken-' tedy fussing some time at the door of our apartment before we went over to the laboratory As nearly as I could make out he had placed some thing under the rug at the door out Into the hallway. "Well." said Bennett, glancing at his watch and rising as he turned io f.iaine. i m afraid I must go now." He crossed oTer to where she stood *nd shook bands There was no doubt that Bennett was very much smitten by his fair client "6ood-by. Mr Bennett," «he mur mured. "and I thank you so much for what you have done for roe today." But there was something lifeless •bout the words She turned quickly to Craig, who had remained standing. "Must you go too. Mr. Kennedy?"' the asked, noticing his position. "I'm afraid Mr. Jameson and 1 must jet back on the job before this Clutch ing Hand gets busy again," he replied reluctantly. "Oh. I hope you—we get them soon!" the exclaimed, and there was nothing l!fe!ess about the way she gave Craig V.?r bend, as Bennett, he and I left a n:o3tent later. When we approached our door, cow, Craig p?usem its cover Elaine Dodge's picture and was gating at It ravenously. 1 had finished as much of the article as I could do theu and was smoking and reading it over. Kennedy was still gating at the picture Miss Dodge had given him. then movtng from place tc about the room, evidently wondering where it would look best. I doubt whether he had done another blessed thing since we returned. He tried it on the mantel. That Wouldn't do. At last he held it up be side a picture of Galton. I think, of i finger print and eugenics fame, who hung on the wall directly opposite the fireplace. Hastily he compared the two. Elaine's picture was precisely the same site. Next he tore out the picture of the scientist and threw it carelessly into the fireplace. Theu he placed Elaine's pit'ure in its place and hung it up again, standing off to admire it. I watched him gleefully. Was this Craig? Purposely 1 moved my elbow suddenly and pushed a book with a bang on the floor Kennedy actually jumped. 1 picked up the book with a muttered apology. Xo, this was not the same old Craig. Perhaps half an hour later I was still reading. Kennedy was now pacing up aud down the room, apparently unable to concentrate his mind on any but one subject. He stopped a moment before the . photograph, looked at it fixedly. Then he started his methodical walk again, hesitated, and went over to the tele- phone, calling a number which I rec ognized. "She must haTe been pretty well done up by her experience." he said apologetically, catching my eye. "I was wondering if—hello!— oh. Misa Dodge —l—er—l—er—just called up to see if you were all right." Craig was very much embarrassed, but also very much in earnest. A musical laugh rippled over the telephone. "Yes. I'm all right, thank you. Mr. Kennedy—and I put the pack age you sent me into the safe, but—" ' Package!" frowned Craig. "Why, I atnt you no package. Miss Dodge. In the safe?" "Why. yes. and the safe is all COT eret" with moistur®—and so cold." 'Moisture—cold?" he repeated hastily. "Yes. I have been wondering if it is all right. In fact. I was going to call you up. only I was afraid you d think I was foolish." T shall be right over," he answered hastily, clapping the receiver back on its hook "Walter," he added, seizing his hat and coat, "come on—hurry!" A few mlnntes later we drove up In a tax! before the Dodge house and rang the bell. Jennings admitted us sleepily. ••••••# It could not have been long after we left Miss Dodge, late in the afternoon, that Susie Martin, who had been quite worried over out long absence after the attempt to rol her fa'ther, dropped in on Elaine. Wfde-eyed. she had lis tened to Elaines story of what had happened. "And you think this Clutching Hand has never recovered the incriminating papers that caused him to murder your father?" asked Susie. Elaine shook her head. **No. Let me show you the new safe I've bought. Mr. Kennedy thinks it wonderful." "I should think you'd be proud of it," admired Susie. "I must tell father to get one. too." At that very moment. If they had known it. the Clutching Hand, with his sinister, masked face, was peering at the two girls from tte other sid* of the porticros. i HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 11. 1918, i Suala rose to go and Klalna followed her to the door. No aooaar had aha | gone than the Clutching Rand came ' oat from behind the curtails. He gated ) aboat a moment, then, mavlng over to tha aafe aboat which the two girls had been talking, stealthily examined It. Ho must have heard someone corn tag, tor with a gesture of hate at the safe Itself, as though he personified It, he slipped back of again. Elaine had returned, and as she sat down at the desk to go over some pa pers which Bennett had left relative to settling up the estate the masked intruder stealthily and silently with drew. "A package for you. Miss Dodge, M announced Michael later in . the eve ning, as Elaine, In her dainty evening gown, was still engaged in going over the papers. He carried it iu his hands rather gingerly. "Mr. Kennedy sent it. ma'am. Me says /it contains clues, and will you plojyse put it in the new safe for him." Elaine took the package eagerly and examined It. Then she pulled open little round door of the globular Mfe. f "It must be getting cold out, Mi chael," she remarked. "This package is as cold as Ice." "It Is. ma'am." answered Michael She closed the safe, aud, with a glance at her watch, set the time took and went upstairs to her room. No soouer had Elaine disappeared than Michael appeared agalu. catlike, through the curtains from the Arawing room, and. after a glance about the dimly lighted library, discovering that the coast was clear, motioned to a fig ure hiding behind the portieres. A moment aud Clutching Hand him self came out. He moved over to the safe and looked it over. Then he put out his hand and touched it. "Listen!" cautioned Michael. Someone was coming, and they hastily slunk behind the protecting portieres. It was Marie. Elaine's maid. She turned up the ligh'ts and went over to the desk for a book for which Elaine had evidently sent her. She .paused and appeared to be listening. Then she went to the door. "Jennings!" she beckoned. "What Is it, Marie?" he replied. She said nothing, but as he came up the hall led him to the center of the room. "Listen! I heard sighs and groans!" Jennings looked at her a moment, puezled. then laughed. "You girls!" he exclaimed. "1 suppose you'll always think the library haunted now." "But, Jennings, listen," she per sisted Jennings did listen. Sure enough, there were sounds, weird, uncanny. He gated about the room. It was eerie. Then he took a few steps toward the safe Marie put out her hand to It and started back. "Why. that safe is all covered with Cold sweat!" she cried with bated breath. Sure enough, the face of the safe was beaded with dampness. Jenning put his hand on it and quickly drew it away, leaving a mark on the damp ness. "W-what do you think of that?" he gasped. "I'm going to tell Miss Dodge," cried Marie, genuinely frightened. A moment later she burst into Eiaine's room. "What is the matter. Marie?" asked Elaine, laying down her book. "You look as if you had seen a ghost." "Ah. but mademoiselle—it ees just like that. The safe—if mademoiselle "A Package for You. Miss Dodga." will come down stairs. I will show It you." Puzzled, bat interested, Elaine fol lowed her. In the library Jennings pointed mutely at the new safe. Elaine approached it. As they stood about, new beads of perspiration, as it were, formed on it. Elaine touched it and also quickly withdrew her hand. "I can't imagine what's the matter," she said. "But—well—Jennings, you may go—and Marie, alsq." When the servants had gone she still regarded the safe with the same won dering look, then turning out the light, she followed. She had scarcely disappeared when, from the portlered doorway near by, the Clutching Hand appeared, and. after gazing out at them, took a Quick looH at the safe. "Good!" he muttered. Noiselessly Michael of the sinister faao movad ta -ad took a position In tha cantor of tha room, as if on guard, whlla Clutching Hand sat bafora tha aafe watching It iataatly. "Someone at tha door—Jenning* Is answering tha ball." Mlchaal whis pered hoarsely. "Confound It!" muttered Clutching Hand, as both moved again behind tha heavy valour curtains. • ••••• * "I'm so glsd to see you, Mr. Ken nedy," greeted Elaine unaffectedly as Jennings admitted us. She had heard the bell and was com ing downstairs ss we entered. We three moved toward tha library and someone switched on the lights. Craig strode over to the safe. The cold sweat on \lt had now turned to Icicles. Craig's face clouded with thought as he examined It more close ly. There wss actuslly a groaning sound from wtthin. "It can't be opened." he said to him self. "The time lock Is set for tomor row morning." Outside, If we had not been so ab sorbed In the present mystery, we might have seen Michael and the Clutching Hand listening to us Clutching Hand looked hastily at his watch. "The deuce!" he muttered under his breath, stifling his suppressed fury. W> stood looking at the safe. Ken nedy was deeply interested, Elaine standing close beside him. Suddenly ha seemed to make up his mind. "Quick—Elaine!" he cried, taking her arm. "Stand back!" We all retreated. The safe door, powerful as It was, had actually begun to warp and bend. The plates were bulging. A moment later, with a loud report and concussion, the door blew off. A blast of cold air and flakes Ilka snow flew out. Papers were scattered on every side. We stood gating, aghast, a second, tiler, ran forward. Kennedy quickly examined the safe. He bent down and from tho wreck took up a package, now covered with white. As quickly he dropped it. "That is the package that was sent," cried Elaine. Taking it In n table cover, he laid it on the table and opened It. Inside was a peculiar shape flask, open at the top. but like a vacuum bottle. "A newar flask!" ejaculated Craig. "What Is it?" asked Elaine, appeal ing to him. "Liquid air!" he answered. "As it evaporated, the terrific pressure of expanding air in the safe Increased until it blew out the door. That Is what caused the cold sweating and the groans." We watched him, startled.

March 11.—Willie Bit ■«• liie, former lightweight champion of I the world, hopes to regain the title by a |t nock out tonight when he meets j Freddie Welsh in a ten-round battle at | Madison Square Garden. Willie's one ' and only hope of reannexing the crown j is in landing a knockout blow. If the null goes the limit there seems to be little chance of the Cali j fornian coining out in front. Welsh is I considered the most marvelous det'en j sive lightweight that ever lived. Welsh | undoubtedly is not as good now as ; when he won the title t'roiu Ritchie on | .lulv 7, last year, in London, but it is [ doubtful if Willie is as good as he was theu. Ritchie believes he is going to stop Welsh. He declares that he lias a "hunch" that he is going to win by a knockout and he is confident. He de clares he will go after the Englishman from the very start and never stop flay-in; awav with both hands. "Welsh will find me hitting harder and straii'hter than when he was pre sented with the title." Ritchie said last night. "I'll force the pace so fast and hard that he will tire along about the seventh or eigth round, and when he tires his guard will surely lower. It is theu that I intend to soiul over the knockout punch that will give me back the title I was robbed of in London.'' From Oceanport, Welsh telephoned late yesterday afternoon: "I'm going to prove to New York fans that I clearly defeated Ritchie for the title. If there is any knockout, it will be yours truly who will land the Wow. I made Ritchie 'dog' it in Lon don and I'll do it again to-night, too." The men are making 135 pounds at 2 o'clock iu the afternoon. It will be a grudiire affair. Welsh has never for gotten how he was forced to fight for nothing, not even training expenses for the struggle that won for him the crown, and Ritchie will never believe otherwise than he was "jobbed" out of the championship READY FOR CAM DEM FIVE Independents Expect Victory Over Eastern Leaguers The Harrisburg Independents are in trim for their game with Oamden of the Eastern League Saturday night.
