Dan followed him in, taking the lad der and bucket upstairs, where Aunt j Josephine was still reading. "The man to clean the windows, ma'am," apologized Jennings. > "Oh, very well." shrf nodded, taking ! op her book, to go. Then, recalling the frequent Injunctions of Kennedy, ehe paused long enough to speak j quietly to Jennings. "Stay here and watch him," she i whispered as she went out. Jennings nodded, while Dan opened < a window and set to work. Elaine now decided to go home. I From his closed car, the Clutching Hand gazed intently at the Dodge house. He could see Dan on the lad der, now washing the library window, his back toward him. Dan turned slowly and made the sign of the hand. Turning to his chauffeur, tho master criminal spoke a few hurried words in a low tone and j the driver hurried off. 4 . f ew minutes later the driver ! might have been seen entering a near by drug store and going into the tele phone booth. Without a moment's hesitation he called upon the Dodge house, and Marie, Elaine's maid, an- i ewe red. "Is Jennings there?" he asked. | "Tell him a friend wants to speak to him." "Wait a minute," she answered. "I'll get him." • Marie went toward the library, leav ing the telephone off the hook. Dan was washing the windows, half in- ! side, half outside the house, while Jen jiings was trying to be very busy, al though it was apparent that he was watching Dan closely. "A friend of yours wants to speak j to yon over the telephone, Jennings," j said Marie, as she came into the library. The butler responded slowly, with a teovert glance at Dan. No sooner had they gone, however, (than Dan climbed all the way into the xoom, ran to the door and looked after them. Then he ran to the window. J, Across and down the street, the Clutching Hand was gazing at the house. He had seen Dan disappear j and suspected that the time had come. ! Sure enough, there was the sign of ,the hand. He hastily got out of the car and hurried up the street. All ■this time the chauffeur was keeping Jennings busy over the telephone with some trumped-up story. As the master criminal came in by the ladder through the open window, Dan was on guard, listening down the hallway. A signal from Dan, and Clutching Hand Blld back of the por tieres. Jennings was returning. "I've finished these windows," an nounced Dan as the butler reappeared. "Now, I'll clean the hall windows." Jennings followed like a shadow. No sooner had they gone. than Clutching Hand stealthily came from behind the portieres. '' y Kennedy Show* Elaine the Little One of the maids was sweeping in the hall as Dan went toward the win dow, about to wash it. "I wonder whether I locked those windows?" muttered Jennings, paus ing in the hallway. "I guess I'd bet ter make sure." He had taken only a step toward the library again when Dan watchfully caught sight of him. It would never do to have Jennings snooping around there now. Quick action was neces sary. Dan knocked over a costly Sevres vase. "There—clumsy—see what you've done!" berated Jennings, starting to. pick up the pieces. Dan had acted his part well and See "Exploits of Ela:ne," Eighth Episode, In Motion Pictures, Victoria Theatre, Saturday, April 10 READ THE STORY IN THE STAR-INDEPENDENT EVERY WEEK I promptly. In the library Clutching Hand was busily engaged at that mo ment beside the secret panel search ing for the spring that released it He ran bis finger along the woodwork, pausing here and there without suc ceeding. "Confound it!" he muttered, search ing feverishly. Kennedy, having made the arrange ments with the telephone company by which he had a clear wire from the Dodge house to his laboratory, had re joined me there and was putting on the finishing touches on his installa tion of the vocaphone. Every now and then he would switch it on, and we would listen in it as he demonstrated the woftderful little instrument to me. We had heard the window cleaner and Jen: nings, but thought nothing of it at the tlmi. Once, however, Craig paused, and I saw him listening more intently than usual. "They've gone o&t," he muttered, "but surely there Is some one in the Dodge library." "I listened, too. The thing was so sensitive that even a whisper could be magnified, and I certainly did hear something. Kennedy frowned. What was that scratching noise? Could it be Jen nings? Perhaps it was Rusty. Just then we could distinguish a sound as though someone had moved about. "No—that's not Jennings," cried Craig. "He went out." He looked at me a moment. The same stealthy noise was repeated. "It's the Clutching Hand!" he ex claimed excitedly. A moment later Dan hurried into the Dodge library. "For heaven's sake. Chief, hurry!" he whispered hoarsely. "The Falsers must have fallen down. The girl her self Is coming!" Dan himself had no time to waste. He retreated into the hallway just as Jennings was opening the door for Elaine- Marie took her wraps and left her, while Elaine handed her numerous packages to Jennings. Dan watched every motion. "Put them away, Jennings," she said softly. Jennings had obeyed and gone up stairs. Elaine moved toward the li brary. Dan took a quiet step or two behind her, in the same direction. In the library Clutching Hand was now frantically searching for the spring. He heard Elaine coming and dodged behind the curtains again just as she entered. With a hasty look about, she saw no one. Then she went quickly to the panel, found the spring and pressed it. So many queer things had hap pened to her since she went out that she had begun to worry over the safe ty of the papers. The panel opened. They were there, all right. She opened the box and took them out, hesitating to break the seal before Kennedy arrived. Stealthy and tigerlike, the Clutch- Instrument That Baved Her Life. ing Hand crept up behind h'er. As he did so, Dan gazed in through the por tieres from the hall. With a spring. Clutching Hand leaped at Elaine, sqptching at the par pers. Elaine clung to them tenacious ly, In spite of the surprise, and they struggled for them, Clutching Hand holding one hand over her mouth to prevent her screaming. Instantly Dan was there, aiding his chief. "Choke her! Strangle her! Don't let her scream!" he ground out. They fought viciously. Would she succeed? It was two desperate, un scrupulous men against one frail girl. Suddenly, from the man in armor HARRISBUFG STAR-INDEPENDENT. THURSDAY EVENING, APRIIj in the corner, m tt by a miracle, earn* a,deep, loud voice. "Help! Help! Murder! PoUcel They are strangling ■>•!" . The effect was terrific. Clutching Hand aad Dan, hardened In crime as they were, fell back, dazed, overcome for the moment at the startling effect. They looked about. Not a aoul. Then, to their utter consternation, from the helmet again came the deep, ▼ibrant warning. "Help! Murder! Police!" ' Kennedy and I had been listening over the vocaphone, for the moment j nonplused at the fellow's daring. | Then we heard from the uncanny instrument: "For Heaven's saket Chief, hurry. The. P&lsers have fallen down. The girl herself is coming!" i What it meant we did not snow. But Craig was almost beside himself, at | he ordered me to get the police by tet ephone, if there was any way to block them. Only instant action would count, ! however. What to do? We could hear the master crlrn- I inal plainly fumbling now. "Yes, that's the Clutching hand," he i repeated. v "Walt," I cautioned, ''someone else is coming!" By a sort of instinct he seemed te ; recognize the sounds. "Blaine!" he exclaimed, paling. Instantly followed, in less than I can tell it, the sounds of a suppressed ! shuffle. "He has seized her —gagged her," i I cried in an agony of suspense. We could now hear everything that was going on In the library. Craig was wildly excited. As for me, I was speechless. Here was the vocaphone we had installed. It had warned us. But what could we do? I looked blankly at Kennedy. Ho was equal to the emergency. Jie calmly turned the switch. Then, at the top of his lung* he shouted: "Help! H,elp! Police! They are strangling me!" I looked at him in amazement. What did he think he could d>—blocks away? "It works both ways," lie muttered. "Help! Murder! Police!" We could hear the astonished curs-' ing of the two men. Also, down the hall, now, we could hear footsteps ap proaching In answer to his call for help—Aunt Josephine, Jennings, Marie and 'others, all shouting out that there were cries in the library. "The deuce! What is it?" muttered a gruff voice. "The man in armor!" hissed Clutch ing Hand. "Here they come, too. Chief!" There was a parting scuffle. "There —take that!" "A Jpud metallic ringing came from the vocaphone. Then silence! What had happened? In the library, recovering from their crock of surprise, Dan cried out to the Clutching Hand. "The deuce! What is It?" Then looking about. Clutching Hand quickly took in the situation. "The man in armor! 1 ' he pointed out. Dan was almost dead with fright at the weird thing. "Here they come, too, Chief," he gasped, as, down the hall he could hear the family shouting out' that someone was in the library. With a parting thrust, Clutching Hand Bent Elaine reeling. She held on to only a corner of the papers. He had the greater part of them. They were torn and destroyed, anyway. Finally, with all the venomousness of which he was capable, Clutching Hand rushed at the armor suit, drew back his gloved flst, and let it shoot out squarely in a vicious solar plexus blow, "There—take that!" he roared. The suit rattled furiously. Out of it spilled the vocaphone, with a bang on the floor. An instant later those In the hall rushed in. But the Clutching Hand and Dan were gone out of the win dow, the criminal carrying the greater part of the precious papers. Some ran to Elaine, others to the window. The ladder had been kicked away, and th« criminals were gone. Leaping Into the waiting car, they had been whisked away. "Hello! Hello! Hello!" called a voice, apparently from nowhere. "What Is that?" cried Elaine. She had risen by this time, and was gazing about, wondering at the strange voice. Suddenly her eye fell on the armor scattered all over the floor. She spied the little oak box. "Elaine!" Apparently the voice came from that. Besides it had a familiar ring to her ears. "Yes—Craig!" she cried. "That is my vocaphone-r-the little box that hears and talks," came back to her. "Are you all right?" "Yes—all right—thanks to the voca phone." She had understood in an instant She seized the helmet and breastplate to which the vocaphone still was at tached and was holding them close to herself. Kennedy had been calltng and lis tening intently over the machine, won dering whether it had been put out of business In some way. 'lt works—yet!" he cried excitedly to me. "Elaine!" "Yes, Craig," came back over the faithful little Instrument. "Are you all right?" "Yes—all right." "Thank heaven!" breathed Craig, pushing me aside. Literally he kissed that vocaphone as if It had been human! (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The heaviest of these fires occurred at the Bonny meads farms east of Paxtang, when the home of James Pearl Gardner was burned along with some valuable lum ber and several small tool houses.
