On the other side of the portieres
Michael and Clutching Hand waited
Then, in the general confnsion. Clutch
ing Hand slowly disappeared, foiled.
"Where did this package come
.from?" asked Kennedy of Jennings
suspiciously.
Jennings looked blank.
"Why," put in Elaine, "Michael j
brought it to me."
"Get Michael," ordered Kennedy.
A moment later he returned. "I
found him. goin£ upstairs." reported
Jennings, leading Michael in.
"Where did you get this package?"
shot out Kennedy.
"It was left at the door, sir. by a
boy, sir."
Question after question could not
shake that simple, stolid sentence.
Kennedy frowned.
"You may go," he said finally, as If
reserving something for Michael later.
A sudden exclamation followed from
Klalne as Michael passed down the
hall again. She had moved over to
the desk, during*the questioning, and
was leaning against it.
Inadvertently she had touched an
envelope. It was addressed. "Craig
Kennedy."
Craig tore It open. Elaine bending
anxiously over his shoulder, frightened.
We read: J
* "YOU HAVE INTERFERED FOR
THE LAST TIME. IT IS THE END."
Beneath It stood the fearsome sign
of the Clutching Hand!
• ••••••
The warning of the Clutching Hand
had no other effect on Kennedy than
the redoubling of his precautions for
safety. Nothing further happened that
night, however, and the next morning
found us early at the laboratory-
It was the late forenoon, when, aft
er a hurried trip down to the office, I j
rejoined Kennedy at his scientific '
workshop.
We walked down the street when a
big limousine shot past. Kennedy
stopped in the middle of a remark. He
had recognized the car, with a sort of '
instinct.
At the same moment I saw a smil
ing face at the window of the car. It
was Elaine Dodge.
The car stopped In something less
than twice Its length and then backed
toward us.
Kennedy, hat off. was at the window
in a moment. There were Aunt Jode
phine and Susie Martin, also.
"Where are you boys going?" asked
Elaine, with interest, then added with
a gayety that ill concealed her real
anxiety, "I'm so glad to see you—to
see that—er —nothing has happened
from the dreadful Clutching Hand."
"Why, we were just going up to our
rooms," replied Kennedy.
"Can't we drive you around?"
We climbed in and a moment later
were off. The ride was only too short
for Kennedy. We stepped out in front
o£ our apartment and stood chatting
for a moment.
"Some day I want to show you the
laboratory," Craig was saying.
"It must be so—interesting!" ex
claimed Flaine very enthusiastically.
"Think of all the bad men you must
have caught!"
Elaine hesitated. "Would you like
to sen it?"' she wheedled of Aunt Jose
phine.
Aunt Josephine nodded acquiescence, j
and a moment later we all entered the
building.
"You—you are very careful since
that last earning?" asked Elaine as
we approached our door.
"More than ever—now," replied i
Craig. "I have made up my mind to ,
win."
Kennedy had started to unlock the i
door, when he stopped short.
"See." he said, "this is a precaution !
I have just installed. I almost forgot j
in the excitement."
He pressed a panel and disclosed
the boxlike apparatus.
"This is my kinograph, which tells
me whether I have had any visitors in
ray absence. If the pen traces a
straight line, it is all right; but If—
hello—Walter, the line is wavv."
We exchanged a significant glance. |
"Would you mind—er—standing
down the hall just a bit while I en
ter?" asked Craig.
"Be careful," cautioned Elaine.
He unlocked the door, standing off
to one side. Then he extended his
hand across the doorway. Still noth
ing happened. There was not a sound, s
He looked cautiously into the room.
Apparently there was nothing.
• ••••••
It had been about the middle of the
morning that an express wagon had
pulled up sharply before our apart
ment.
"Mr. jCennedy live here?" asked one
of the expresamen, descending with
his helper and approaching our janitor,
Jens Jensen, a typical Swede, who
was coming up out of the basement.
Jens growled a surly, "Yes —but Mr. !
Kannady, he bane out."
"Too bad—we've got this large cab- j
inet he ordered from Grand Rapids.
We can't cart It around all day. Can't
*ou let us In so w© can leave it?"
Jensen muttered. "Well—l guess It
bane all right."
They took the cabinet off the wagon j

ana carried it upstairs. Jensen opened
our <soor, arclll grumbling, and ther
placed the heavy cabinet in the living
room.
"Sign here."
"You falters bane a nuisance," pro
tested Jens, signing nevertheless.
Scarcely had the sound of their
footfalls died away in the outside hall-

It Was the Clutching Hand.
way wnen tne door of the cabinet
t slofcvly opened and a masked face pro
truded. gazing about the room.
It was the Clutching Hand!
From the cabinet he took a large
package w-rapped in newspapers. As
, he held it, looking keenly about, his
eye rested on Elaine's picture. A mo
ment he looked at it. then quickly at
the fireplace opposite.
An idea seemed to occur to him.
He took the package to the fireplace,
removed the screen and laid the pack
age over the andirons with one tnd
pointing out into the room.
Next he took from the cabinet a
cotiple of storage batteries and a coil
of wire. Deftly and quickly he fixed
them on the package.
Meanwhile, before an alleyway j
across the street and further down
the long block the express wagon had
< stopped.
Having completed fixing the bat
teries and wires, Clutching Hand ran
| the wires along the molding on the
wall overhead, from the fireplace un
til he was directly over Elaine's pic
ture. Skillfully he managed to fix the
wires, using them in place of the pic- j
ture wires to support the framed pho
tograph until it hung very noticeably
askew on the wall.
The last wire joined, he looked
about the room,-then noiselessly moved
I to the window and raised the shade.
Quickly he raised his hand and
brought the fingers slowly together.
It was the sign.
Off in the alley, the express driver
and his helper jumped into the wagon
and away it rattled. "
Jensen was smoking placidly as the
wagon pulled up the second time.
"Sorry," said the driver sheepishly, '
i "but we delivered the cabinet to the
; wrong Mr. Kennedy."
He pulled out the inevitable book to ,
prove It.
i "Wall, you bane fine fallers,"!
; growled Jensen, puffing like a furnace,
tin his fury. "You cannot go up
agane."
"We'll get fired for the mistake,"
pleaded the helper.
"Just this once," urged the driver, as
he rattled some loose change in his
pocket. "Here—there goes a whole :
day's tips."
He handed Jens a dollar in small
change.
) Still grumpy, but mollified by the
silver, Jens let them go up and opened
the door to our rooms again. There
stood the cabinet, as outwardly lnho
cent as when it came in.
Lugging and tugging they managed
to get the heavy piece of furniture out
and downstajrs again, loading it on
• the wagon. Then they drove off with
it. accompanied by a parting volley
from Jensen.
In an unfrequented street, perhaps
half a mile away, the wagon stopped.
With a keen glance around, the driver
and his helper made sure that no one
was about.
"Such a shaking up as you've given
me!" growled a voice as the cabinet
door opened. "But I've got him this
time!"
i It was the Clutching Hand.

Craig gazed into our living room cau
, tiously.
"I can't see anything wrong," he said
to mc as I stood just beside him. "Miss

I rest excuse me if I ask you to wait j

Coco&nut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep' your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
i the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
'' contain too much alkali. This dries
1 the scalp, mikes' the hair brittle,
1 : and is very harmful. Just plain mul
! sified cocoanut oil (which is pure
!; nnd entirely greaselessl, is much
: ! better than soap or anything else
|> yon can use for shampooing, as this
' can't possibly injure the hair,
i Simply moisten yowr hair with
| water and rub it in. One or two
teasnoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses j
i the hair and scalp thoroughly. The ;
1 lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt.'dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries j
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it 1

at most any drug store. It is very i
cheap, and a few ounces is enough ,

crossed the room, then went into each
of our other rooms. Apparently notta
' ing was wrong and a minute later ho
reappeared at the doorway,
j "I guess it's all right," he said. "Per
haps it was only Jensen, the janitor."
| Elaine, Aunt Josephine and Susie
Martin entered. Craig placed chairs
for them, but still I could see that he
was uneasy. From time to time, while
they were admiring one of our treas
ures after another, he glanced about
, auspiciously.
"What is the trouble, do you think?"
asked Elaine wonderingly. noticing
his manner.
"I —I can't just say," answered Craig,
trying to appear easy.
She had risen and with keen inter
! est was looking at the books, the pic
tures. the queer collection of weapons
and odds and ends from the under
world that Craig had amassed in his
adventures.
At last her eye wandered across the
room. She caught sight of her own
picture, occupying a place of honor —
but hanging askew.
"Isn't that just like a man!" she ex
claimed. "Such housekeepers as you
are—such carelessness!"
She had taken a stop or two across
the room to straighten the picture.
"Miss Dodge!" almost shouted Ken
nedy, his face fairly blanched. '"Stop!"
She turned, her stunning eyes filled
with amazement at his suddenness.
Nevertheless she moved quickly to one
side, as he waved his arms, unable to
speak quickly enough.
Kennedy stood quite still, gazing at
the picture, askew, with suspicion.
"That wasn't that way when we left,
was it, Walter?" he asked.
"It certainly was not," I answered
positively. "There was more time
spent in getting that picture just
right than I ever saw you spend on the
room."
! Craig frowned.
As for myself I did not know what
to make of it.
"I'm rffraid I shall have to ask you
to step imo this back room." said Craig
at length to the ladies. "I'm sorry—
but we can't be too careful with this
intruder, whoever he was."
Elaine, how ver, stopped at the doot.
For a moment Kennedy appeared to
'be considering. Then his eye fell on
a fishing rod that stood in a corner.
He took it and moved toward the pic
i ture.
On his hands and knees, to one
side, down as close as he could get to
the floor, with the rod extended at
arm's length, he motioned to me to do
! the same, behind him.
Carefully Kennedy reached out with
the pole and straightened the picture.
As he did so there was a flash, a
: loud, deafening report, and a great
| puff of smoke from the fireplace.
The fire screen was riddled and over
turned. A charge of buckshot shat
| tered the precious photograph of
, Elaine.
We had dropped flat on the floor at
j the report. I looked about. Kennedy
was unharmed and so were e rest.
With a bound he was at the fire
place, followed by Elaine and the rest
of us. There, in what remained of a
package one up roughly in newspa
per, wa a shotgun with its barrel
sawed off about six inches from the
lock, fastened to a block of wood, and
connected to a series of springs on
the trigger, released by a little electro
magnetic arrangement actuated by
two batteries and leading by wires up
along the molding to the picture where
the slightest touch would complete the
j circuit.
A startled cry from Elaine caused us
1 to turn.
She was standing directly before her
shattered picture where it hung awry
on the wall. The heavy charge of
buckshot had knocked away large
pieces of paper and plaster under it.
"Craig!" she gasped.
-He was at her side in a second.
She laid one hand on his arm, as she
faced him. With the other she traced
an Imaginary line in the air from the
level of the buckshot to his head and
then straight to the infernal thing that
had lain in the fireplace.
"And to think," she shuddered, "that
it was through me that he tried to kill
you!"
"Never mind," laughed Craig ee3ily,
as they gazed into each other's eyes,
drawn together by their mutual peril,
"Clutching Hand will have to be
cleverer than this to get either of us
| —Elaine!"

-Secretary of Commerce Submits Report
to Oongr«M on Conditions Existing
Since Law Went Into Bffect to Pro
tect American Heard
Washington, D. C., March 12.—0n
February 17 the Secretaty of Commerce
transmitted to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives a report of
the scientific, assistants of the Bureau
of Fisheries on the "Fur Seals and
Other Life on the Pribilof Islands in
1314," sending with it the following
communication to the Speaker:
"I transmit herewith for the infor
mation of Congress a report of Wilfred
H. Osgood, Edward A. Preble and
George H. Parken scientific assistants
of the Bureau of F : sherics. on the fur
seals and other life on the Pribilof
Islands in 191*.
"When the present Administration
took charge it found in full force and
vigor the existing law providing for a
closed season for the seal herd belong
ing to the United States on the Pribi
lof Islands. This law was approved
August 24, 1912, effective immediate
ly, and will expire by its own limita
tion August 24, 1917.
"The department has felt that it
had two duties in this important mat
ter. The first was to enforce the law
in letter and in spirit, and this has.
been done. The second was to ascertain
from unprejudiced and dispassionate
I sources tho effects of the law and to
■ inform Congress about them as fully
as possible. This is now done.
"In view of the sharp controversy
that has existed on the subject of t'he
fur seal herd, it was deemed necessary
that the persons selected by the Bu
reau of Fisheries as scientific assist
ants to study this problem should be
persons who were free from all previous
connection with the subject, but who
were qualified by training aud experi
ence to determine and present the facts.
It was required also that they should
be severally qualified to carry on as
separate individuals the particular
lines of scientific study necessary to a
full understanding of the problem.
,'*l T nder these circumstances, the
president of the National Academy of
Sciences, the secretary of the Smithson
ian Institution and the Secretary of
Agriculture were requested to make
nominations of persons who might be
temporarily employed for the purpose.
| The National Academy of Science nom
inated Prof. George H. I'arker, of Har
vard University, Cambridge, Mass.;
! the secretary of the Smifhsonian Insti
tution nominated Wilfred H. Osgood.
I of the Field Museum of National His
i tory, Chicago, 111., and the Secretary
:of Agriculture nominated Edward A.
| Preble, of the Bureau of Biological
| Survey, Department of Agriculture.
The three persons named were selected
by the Department of Commerce and
employed by the Bureau of Fisheries
as temporary scientific assistants, and
were instructed to proceed to the Prib
ilof Islands, there to ascertain the facts
and to submit them to the department
for transmission to Congress. Full de
tails are found in the attached report:
"As (ireat Britain, through the Oo
| minion of Canada, and aie tinan
i ciallv interested in the American seal
I herd under the terms of the treaty
| abolishing pelagic sealing, these coun
j tries also of their own motion arranged
I to send representatives to the Pribilof
I Islands in 1914. and .two experts from
Canada,and one from Jatpan visited the
j islands while our own inquiry was pro
i grossing. The facts concerning this
j matter appear in full tn rue report.
"The report is accompanied bv three
1 large traced maps of the Pribilof Is
! lands, of which blue prints have been
taken for the records of the depart
| ment, and by 21 smaller maps ll.us
trating t'he report in detail.
"The purpose of the department has
been to provide Congress with an un
biased statement of the actual facts
to assist it in the preparation of such
further legislation, if any, as it may
deem wise to enact. It is my earnest
hope that this has been aceonipUsned."
