While these astounding events were
<transpiring in the little church. Ken
nedy and I had been tearing across
the countr)' in his big car, following
the directions of our fair friend.
We stopped at last before a pros
perous. attractive-looking house and
entered a very prettily furnished, but
small parlor. Heavy portieres hung
over the doorway into the hall, over
another into a back room and over
the bay windows.
"Won't you sit down a moment?"
coaxed Ger f le. "I'm quite blown to
pieces after that ride. My, how you
drive!"
As she pulled aside the hall por
tieres, three men with guns thrust
their hands out. I turned. Two oth
ers had stepped from the back room
and two more from the bay window.
We were surrounded. Seven guns
were aimed as us with deadly preci
sion.
"Gentlemen," he said quietly. "I
suspected some such thing. "I have
here a small box of fulmhiate of mer
cury. If I drop it, this building and
the- entire vicinity will be blown to
atoms. Go ahead—shoot!" he added,
nonchalantly.
The seven of them drew back rath
er hurriedly.
Kennedy was a dangerous prisoner.
He calmly sat down in an arm
chair, leaning back as he carefully
balanced the deadly little box of ful
minate of mercury on his knee.
Gertie ran from the room.
For a moment they looked at each
other, undecided. Then, one by one,
they stepped away from Kennedy to
ward the door.
The leader was the last to go. He
had scarcely taken a step.
"Stop!" ordered Kennedy.
The crook did so. As Craig moved
There Stood Her Arch S«my, the Clutching Hand.
toward him, he waited, cold sweat 1
breaking out on his face.
"Say," he whined, "you let me be!" '
It was ineffectual. Kennedy, smil- j
tng confidently, came closer, still hold
ing the deadly little box, balanced be
tween two Angers.
He took the crook's gun and dropped
it into his pocket.
"Sit down!" ordered Craig.
Outside, the other \ parleyed in
hoarse whispers. One raised a gun, !
but the woman and tbe others re- I
strained him and fled.
"Take me to your master!" de- |
mandril Kennedy.
The crook remained silent.
"Where is he?" repeated Craig. '
"Tell me!"
Still the man remained silent, j
Craig looked the fellow over again. :
Then, still with that confident smile, 1
he reached into his inside pocket and
drew forth the tube 1 had seen him i
place there.
"No matter how much you accuse
me," added Craig casually, "no one
■will ever take tho word of a crook
that a reputable scientist like me
would do what I am about to do." i
He had taken out his penknife and |
opened it. Then he beckoned to me. >
"Bare his arm and hold his wrist, ,
Walter," he said.
Craig bent down with the knife and 1
the tube, then paused a moment and
turned to tube so that we could see it. ■
On the label were the ominous
words:
Gerrr Culture 6248 A
Bacillus Leprae (Leprosy)
Calmly he took the knife and pro- j
to make an incision in the
man's arm; The crook's feelings un
derwent a terrific struggle.
"No—no—no—don't," he implored.
"I will take you to the Clutching
Hand—even if he kills me!"
. Kennedy stepped back, replacing I
the tube in his pocket.
"Very well, go ahead!" he agreed.
We followed the crook, Craig still j

. Holding the deadly box of fulmlnate'of
! mercury carefully balanced so that
; if anyone shot him from a hiding place
i it would drop.
No sooner had we gone than Gertie
hurried to the nearest telephone to
inform the Cluching Hand of our
escape.
Elaine had sunk back Into the chair
as the telephone rang. Clutching
: Hand answered it.
A moment lafer, In uncontrollable |
fury he hurled the Instrument to the
floor.
"Here —we've got to act quickly—
that devil has escaped again," he
hissed. "We must get her away. You
keep her here. I'll be back —right
away—with a car."
He dashed madly from the church,
pulling off his mask as he gained the
. street.
Kennedy had forced the crook ahead
, of us into the car which was waiting, \
and I followed, taking the wheel this ,
1 time.
"Which way, now—qpick!" demand- ;
ed Craig. "And if you get me in
wrong—l've got that tube yet—you re- i
i member."
Our crook started off with a whole
; burst of directions that rivaled the
| motor guide—"through the town, fol- i
I lowing trolley tracks, jog right, jog
left under the railroad bridge, leaving
i trolley tracks; at the cemetery turn
left, stopping at the old stone church."
"Is this it?" asked Craig Incredu
lously.
"Yes—as I live," swore the crook !
in a cowed voice.
; He had gone to pieces. Kennedy !
Jumped from the machine.
"Here, take this gun, Walter," he j
said to me. "Don't take your eyes off
the fellow —keep him covered."
Craig walked around the church, out'
of sight, until he came to a small
' vestry window and looked in.
] inere was Elaine, sitting In a chair, 1
and near her stood an elderly-looking
man in clerical garb, which to Craig's ,
; trained eye was quite evidently a dis
guise.
Elaine happened just then to glance j
at the window and her eyes grew
wide with astonishment at the sight
| of Craig.
He made a hasty motion to her to
make a dash for the door. She nodded
j quietly.
With a glance at her guardian she
suddenly made a rush.
He was at her in a moment, pounc-
I lng on her, catlike.
Kennedy had seized an iron bar that !
lay beside the window where some 1
workmen had been repairing the stone j
pavement, and with a blow shattered
i tho glass and the sash.
At the sound of the smashing glass
the crook turned and with a mighty !
effort threw Elaine aside, drawing his
revolver. As he raised it, Elaine
sprang at him and frantically seized
his wrist.
T tterly merciless the man brought
the butt of the gun down with full
l'orce on Elaine's head. Only her hat I
and hair saved her, but she sank un
' conscious.
Then he turned at Craig and flred i
twice.
One shot grazed Craig's hat, but the
other struck him In the shoulder and j
Kennedy reeled.
With a desperate effort he pulled
himself tow*ard her and leaped forward
again, closing with the fellow and i
wrenching the gun from him before
he could Are again.
Just then the man broke away and
made a dash for the door leading back
into the church itself, with Kennedy
after him.
Up he went into the choir loft and •
then into the belfry itself. There they
came to shrer hand-to-hand struggle. *
Kennedy triyped on a loose board, and <
would have fallen backwards if he had
not been able to recover himself Just I
in time. The crook, desperate, leaped
. 1 ' ' ' ' V

| for the ladder leading farther up Into
' the steeple.
Kennedy followed.
Elaine had recovered consciousness
almost Immediately, and, hearing the
commotion, stirred and started to rise
and look about.
From the church she could hear
sounds of the struggle. She paused
just long enough to seize the crook's
revolver lying on the floor.
She hurried into the church and up
Into the belfry, thence up the ladder,
whence the sounds came.
The crook by this time had gained
the outside of the steeple through an
opening. Kennedy was in close pur
suit
On the top of the steeple was a
great gilded cross, considerably larger
than a man. As the crook clambered
outside, he scaled the steeple, using
a lightning rod and some projecting
| points to pull himßeli up, desperately.
Kennedy followed unhesitatingly.
There they were, struggling In doad
l ly combat, clinging to the gilded cross.
The first 1 knew of it was a horrified
gasp from my own crook I looked up

carefully, fearing it was a stall to get
me off my guard.
1 There were Kennedy and the other
crook, struggling, swaying back and
forth, between life and death.
There was nothing 1 could do.
j Kennedy was clinging to a light
i ning rod on the cross.
It broke.
I gasped as Craig reeled back. But
j he managed to catch hold of the rod
farther down and cling to it
The crook began to exult diaboli
i cally. Holding with both hands to the
cross he let himself out to his full
i length and stamped on Kennedy's fln
| gers, trying every way to dislodge him.
it was all Kennedy could do to kejp
his hold.
I cried out in agony at the sight, for
j he had dislodged one of Craig's hands.
The other could not hold much longer.
He was about to fall.
Just then T saw a face at the little
window opening out from the ladder
to the outside of the steeple—a wom
an's face, tense with horror,
i It was Elaine!
Quickly a hand followed, and in it
was a revolver.
Just as the crook was about to dis
lodge Kennedy's other hand I saw a
flash anu puff of smoke, and a second
later heard a report—and
and another.
Horrors!
The crook who had taken refuge
seemed to stagger back, wildly, taking
a couple of steps in the thin air.
Kennedy regained his hold.
With a sickening thud the body of
the crook landed on the ground around
the corner of the church from me.
"Come—you!" I ground out, cover
ing my own crook with the pistol, "and
if you attempt a getaway I'll kill you,
too!"
He followed, trembling, unnerved.
We bent over the man. It seemed
that every bone in his body must be i
broken. He groaned, and before I !
could even attempt anything for him,
was dead.
As Kennedy let himself slowly and |
painfully down the lightning rod, ;
Elaine seized him and, with all her
strength, pulled him through the win
dew. f
He was quite weak now from loss of
blood.
"Are you—all right?" she gasped, aB
they reached the foot of the ladder
in the belfry.
Craig looked down at his torn and
soiled clothes. Then, in spite of the
smarting pain of his wounds, he
smiled, "Yes—all right!"
"Thank Heaven!" she murmured fer
vently, trying to stanch the flow of
blood.
"This time—it was you—saved me!"
he cried, "Elaine!"
Involuntarily his arms sought hers—
and he held her a moment, looking
deep into her wonderful eyes.
Then their faces came slowly to
gether in their first kiss.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy
and Thick With a Simple Mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur
r^—
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulpluir for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it to
keep their hair a good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as we are living in an
age when a youthful appearance is of
the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing ut home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use product
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" for' about 50 cents a bottle,
't is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or a soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tak
y <i:ie small strand at a time; by niorn-
: i'g the gray hair disappears, but what
'e'i'.'Hs the ladies with VVveth's Sage
rnd Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica
tions. it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
■o attractive; besides, prevents dan
druff, itchiug scalp and falling hair.—

FOUR BOLDLY LOOT BANK
AND LEAVE CASHIER TIED
Substitute Serving For Brother Is
Overpowered By Unmasked Ban
dits in Cage Carelessly Left Open
—Bound Man Freed Self
Pittsburgh, April I.—Quietly en
tering the Hays National bank, Hay 3
borough, at 2.40 yesterday afternoon,
four unmarked highwaymen bound and
gai&ged Albert ißall, a clerk, the only
persorn in the bank at the time, and
gathering the bills, gold and small
change from the counter, esca|ted with
several thousand dollars.
The robbery was not made known
until Ball freed himself liftocn min
utes later by cutting the clothesline
which bouml him and called Justice
Miller, of Homestead, who in turn
notified the county detectives.
The cash taken is said to be $5,000
but iHugh Nevin, vice .president, later
stated that the loot did not exceed
$2,000.
According to the story told detec
tives by Ball, the four bandits entered
the b«nk a short time after the mes
senger, W. E. Tompkins, had left to
, take some money to the Monon'gahela
, Trust Company," which controls the
. Hays bank.
"When the messenger left the
bank," said Ball, "he forgot to close
the door leading into the cage. I did
not notice that it was open. About
fifteen minutes after the messenger
left four men came into the bank. I
, was busy at the books and did not look
up for a minute or two. Two of the
. men entered the cage while I was en
gaged in work and one of them, a
stout man, wearing a green cap, push
ed two revolvers in my face and yell
ed, 'Hands up.'
"I threw up my hands and the sec
ond man, who was about 5 feet 6
inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds
and who was wearing a dirty brown
overcoat, drew part of a clothes line
from his pocket and tied my hands.
He then placed one handkerchief in
my mouth and tied, another over my
mouth.
"The man with the revolvers order
ed me to lie down on the floor and 1
did as 1 was told. The other two men
were outside the cage. One of them
stood near the cashier's window, while
the other stood at the door. After the
second and smaller man in the cage
had gathered up the money from the
counter, they joined the two outside
the cage, and ail four left the bank to
gether. I could not see from my posi
tion on the floor which direction they
took.
"I worked with my hands for some
time and finally succeeded in getting
them in position to draw my penknife
from my side pocket. Securing the
knife, I cut the ropes on my wrists
and removed the gags from my mouth.
I then called .Justice Millar, of Home
stead, and notified Mr. Nevin, who
came to the bank in an automobile."
Ball, who is about 2<3 yeire old and
who resides near Dravosburg, is not
steadily employed at the bank. His
brother, Arthur Ball, thte cashier, has
not been at the bank for several weeks
having undergone an operation at the
South Side hospital. In the meantime
Albert has been attending to his
brother's duties at the bank.
