story tells of a new plot against their
Uvea and of the way the great detective

and himself from death.
NINTH EPISODE
THE DEATH RAY.
Kennedy was readtng a scientific
treatise one morning, while I was
banging on the typewriter, when a
knock at the laboratory door disturbed
ua.
By some intuition Craig seemed to
know who it was. He sprang to open
the door, and there stood Elaine
Dodge and her lawyer. Perry Bennett.
Instantly Craig read from the
startled look on Elaine's face that
something dreadful had happened.
"Why what's the matter?" he
asked, solicitously.
"A—another letter—from the Cutch-
Ing Hand!" she exclaimed breath
lessly.
Craig took the letter and we both
read, with amazement:
Are you an enemy of society? If not.
rrder Craig Kennedy to leave the country
t>y nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Oth-
Erwlse a pedestrian will drop dead outside
is laboratory every hour until he leaves.
The note was signed by the now fa- !
miliar sinister hand, and had added
to it a postscript which read:
As a token of his leaving, have htm
place a vase of flowers in his laboratory
window today.
"What shall we do?" queried Ben
nett. evidently very much alarmed
at the letter.
"Do?" replied Kennedy, laughing
contemptuously at the apparently fu
tile threat, "Why, nothing. Just
wait."
We got up as usual the next day,
and quite early went over to the labo
ratory. Kennedy, as was his custom, \
plunged straightway into his work
and appeared absorbed by it, while I
wrote.
"There is something queer going
on. Walter." he remarked. "This
thing registers some kind of wireless
rays—infra-red, I think—something
like those that they say that Italian
scientist, Ulivi, claims he has discov-1
ered and called the 'F-rays.'"
"How do you know?" I asked, look-!
lng up from my work. "What's that
Instrument you are using?"
"A bolometer, invented by the late
Professor Langley." he replied, his
attention riveted on it.
Some time previously Kennedy had
had Installed on the window ledge one |
of those mirrorlike arrangements,
known as a "busybody," which show
those In a room what is going on in
Ithe street.
i As I moved over to look at the
bolometer I happened to glance into
the "busybody" and saw that a crowd
w-as rapidly collecting on the side
walk.
"Look, Craig!" I called hastily.
He hurried over to me and looked, j
•We could both see in the busybody'
mirror a group of excited passers-by I
'bending over a man lying prostrate on
ithe sidewalk.
The excited crowd lifted him up and 1
bore him away, and I turned in sur- j
prise to Craig. He was looking at his
watch
It was now only a few moments past
vine o'clock!
Some time later our door was ex
citedly flung open and Elaine and
[Perry Bennett arrived.
"I've just heard of the accident!" |
•he cried, fearfully. "Isn't it terrible! 1
What had we better do?"
Per a few moments no one said a 1
word. Then Kennedy began carefully j
examining the bolometer and some
other recording Instruments he had, |
while the rest of us watched, fasci- j
sated.
Somehow that "busybody" seemed i
to attract me. I could not resist look-'
ing into it from time to time as Ken
nedy worked.
I was scarcely able to control my
excitement when again I saw the same '
scene enacted on the sldewslk before 1
the laboratory. Hurriedly I looked at'
my watch. It was ten o'clock! |
'Craig!" I cried. "Another!"
Instantly he wa3 at my side, gazing >
eagerly. There was a second Innocent |
pedestrian lying on the sidewalk while j
a crowd, almost panic-stricken, gath- j
ered about im.
"It'b no use," he muttered, as we
gathered about him. "We're beaten
I cai/t stand this sort of thing. I will
leave tomorrow fo' South America."
I thought Elaine Dodge would faint
at he -hock of his words coming so
soon after the terrible occurrence out
aide. She looked at blm speechless.

In Motion Pictures, Victoria Theatre, Saturday, April 17
READ THE STORY IN THE STAR-INDEPENDENT EVERY WEEK
It happened that Kennedy had soma
artificial flowers on a stand, which he
had been using long before In the
study of synthetic coloring materials.
Before Elaine could recover her
tongue he seized them and stuck them
into a tall beaker, like a vase. Then
he deliberately walked to the window
and placed the beaker on the ledge In
a most prominent position.
Elaine and Bennett, to say nothing
of myself, gazed at him, awe-struck.
"Is —Is there no other way but to
surrender?" she asked.
Kennedy mournfully shook his
head.
"I'm afraid not," he answered slow
ly. There's no telling how far a fel
low who has this marvelous power
might go. I think I'd better leave, to
save you. He may not content him
self with Innocent outsiders always."
Nothing that any of us could sav,
not even the pleadings of Elaine her
self, could move him. The thought
that at eleven o'clock a third Innocent
passer-by might lie stricken on the
street seemed to move him powerfully.
"I'm so sorry—Craig," murmured
Elaine, choking back her emotion and
finding it impossible to go on.
"So am I, Elaine," he answered,
tensely. "But —perhaps—when this
trouble blows over" —
He paused, unable to go on, turned
and shook his head. Then with a
forced gayety he bade- Elaine and
Perry Bennett adieu, saying that per
haps a trip might do him good.
They had scarcely gone out, and
Kennedy closed the door carefully,
when he turned and went directly to
the instrument which T had seen htm
observing so interestedly.
Plainly I could see that It was reg
istering something.
He walked fairly close to the win
dow this time, keeping well out of the
direct line of it, however, and there
stood gazing out into the street.
"We are being watched," he said
slowly, turning and looking at me fix
edly, "but I don't dare investigate lest
it cost the lives of more unfortunates."
He stood for a moment In deep
thought. Then he pulled out a suit
case and began silently to pack it.
Although we had not dared to in
vestigate. we knew that from a build
ing across the street emissaries of
the Clutching Hand were watching
for our signal of surrender.
The fact was, as we found out later,
that in a poorly furnished room, much
after the fashion of that which, with
the help of the authorities, we had
once raided in the suburbs, there were
at that moment two crooks.
One of them was the famous, or
rather infamous, Professor LeCroix.
The other was the young secretary of
the Clutching Hand.
This was the new headquarters of
the master criminal, very carefully
guarded.
"Look!" cried LeCroix, very much
excited by the effect that had been
produced by his infra-red rays. "There
is the sign—the vase of flowers. We
have got him this time!"
LeCroix gleefully patted a peculiar
instrument beside him. Apparently
it was a combination of powerful elec
tric arcs, the rays of which were shot
through a funnel-like arrangement
into a converted or, rather, a sort of
concentration apparatus from which
the dread power could be released
through a tubelike afTair at the end.
It was his infra-red heat wave, F-ray,
engine.
"I told you it would work!" cried
LeCroix.
• ••••»•
I did not argue any further with
Craig about his sudden resolution to
go away. But it is a very solemn pro
ceeding to pack up and admit defeat
after such a brilliant succession of
cases as had been his until we met
this master criminal.
He was unshakable, however, and
the next morning we closed the
laboratory and loaded our baggage
into a taxicab.
Neither of us said much, but I saw
• quick look of appreciation on Craig's
face as we pulled up at the wharf j
and saw that Elaine's car was already
there. He seemed deeply moved that
Elaine should come at such an early
hour to have a last word.
Our car stopped, and Kennedy
moved over toward her car, direct
ing two porters, whom I noticed that '
he chose with care, to wait at one
side. One of them was an Irishman
with a slight limp; the other a wiry
Frenchman with a pointed beard.
In spite of her pleadings, however,
Kennedy held to his purpose, and as
we shook hands (or the last time I
thought that Elaine would almost ,
break down.
We finally tore ourselves away, ■
followed by the porters carrying as
much as they could.
'Bon voyage!" called Elaine, brave- !
ly keeping back a choke in her voice.
Near the gangplank, In the crowd, I
noticed a couple of sinister faces
watching the ship's officers and the
passengers going aboard. Kennedy's
quick eye spotted them, too, but he
did not show in any way that he no
ticed anything as, followed by our two
HARRTSBTTRG STAB-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 14. 1915.
Mi v
"Bon Voyage," Cried Elaine, Bravely
porters, we quickly climbed the gang
plank.
"In there," pointed Kennedy, quick
ly to the porters, indicating our state
room, which »as an outer room,
i "Come. Walter."
I followed him In with a heavy
heart.
Outside could be seen the two sin
i ister faces in the crowd watching in
tently, with eyes fixed on the state
; room. Finally on® of the crooks
boarded the ship hastily, while tha
; other watched the two porters come
1 out of the stateroom and pause at the
window, speaking bad", into the room
as though answering cctntrands.
Then the porters quickly ran along
the deck and down the plank to get
the rest of the luggage.
They took a small, but very heavy
box and, lugging and tugging, hastened
toward the boat with it. But they
were too late. The gangplank was be
ing hauled in.
They shouted, but the ship's officers
waved them back.
| The porters argued. But it was no
use. All they could do was to carry
the box back to the Dodge car.
Miss Dodge was just getting in as
they returned.
"What shall we do with this and
the other stuff?" asked the Irish por
ter.
She looked at the rest of the tagged
luggage and the box which was
marked:
Scientific Instruments
Valuable
Handle With Care!
"Here—pile them in there," she
said, indicating the taxicab. "I'll take
care of them."
Meanwhile one of our sinister-faced
friends had just had time to regain
the shore after following us aboard
ship and strolling past the window
of our stateroom. He paused long
enough to observe one of the occu
pants studying a map, while the other
was opening a bag.
"They're gone!" he said to the other
as he rejoined him on the dock, giv
ing a nod of his head and a jerk of
his thumb at the ship.
"Yes," added the other crook, "and
lost most of their baggage, too."
Slowly the car proceeded through
the streets up from the river front,
followed by the taxicab, until at last
the Dodge mansion was reached.
Elaine sighed moodily as she walked
slowly in.
"Here, Marie." she cried petu
lantly to her maid, "take these wraps
of mine."
A moment later Aunt Josephine left
her and Elaine went into the library
and over to a table. She stood there
r.n instant, then sank down into a
chair, taking up Kennedy's picture
and gazing at it with eyes filled with
tears.
Just then Jennings came into the
room, ushering the two porters laden
with the boxes and bags.
"Where shall I have them put these
things, Miss Elaine?" he inquired.
"Oh —anywhere," she answered hur
riedly, replacing the picture.
Jennings paused. As he did so,
one of the porters limped forward.
"I've a message for you, miss," ho
said in a rich Irish brogue, with a look
at Jennings, "to be delivered in pri
vate."
Elaine glanced at him surprised.
Then she nodded to Jennings, who
disappeared. As he did so, the Irish
man limped to the door and' drew to
gether the portieres.
Then he came back closer to Elaine.
A moment she looked at him, not
quite knowing from his strange ac
tions whether to call for help or not
At a motion from Kennedy, as he
pulled off his wig, I pulled off the
little false beard.
Elaine looked at us, transformed,
startled.
"Wh—what"—she stammered. "Oh—
I'm—so—glad. How—"
Kennedy said nothing. He was
thoroughly enjoying her face.
"Don't you understand?" I ex
plained, laughing merrily. "I admit
that I didn't, until that last minute
in th 9 stateroom on the boat when
we didn't come back to wave a last
good-by. But all the care that Cra»;
took In the porters was the
result of work he did yesterday, and
the Insistence with which he chose
our traveling clothes had a deep-laid
purpose.
"The change was made quickly in
the stateroom. Kennedy's man threw
on the coat and hat he wore, while
Craig donned the rough clothes of
tho porter and added a limn and a

j The same sort of exchange of

i clappted a Vandyke beard on my
chin."

Police Commissioner Favors Traffic
Rules for Carriages
Elizabeth. N. J., April 14.—"Traffic,
regulation: Bnby carriages keep to the
right and line up parallel to buildings
when halted." Signs reading like this
may adorn Broad street and the other
principal thoroughfares in Elizabeth,
if Major William C. De Hart, presi-'
dent o the Polifce Commission, has his
say.
The major, who looks a score less
than his 75 years, finds navigation iu
Bri>ad street difficult because all Eliza
beth mothers seem to take perambula
tors shopping. They line up the car
riages end to end across the sidewalk
when they stop to gossip, he says, and
when a full-sized human craft tries to
steer a course he has to take to the
uncharted roadway.
"It was just a suggestion of mine,"
he said yesterday, '' but I think some
thing ought to be done, so I called tha
Board o Works' attention to the mat
ter. We can do nothing, but if the
Board passes an ordinance the police
will enforce it."
LIBERTY BELL MAY GO WEST
Panama Exposition Likely to Display
Famous Relic
Philadelphia, April 14.—Mayor
Blunkenburg plans asking Councils to
day to send the Liberty Bell to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco as the result of a conference
held yesterday with Charles Segcr,
chairman of the sub committee on ap
propriations of Councils' Finance Com
mittee, which virtually assured the
making of an adequate appropriation 4
by the legislative body for the trip ot'
the national relic.
The Mayor's action will be part of a
spontaneous movement for sen ling the
bell West, which will be pushed in
Councils at their session this afternoon.
BIG EAGLE ATTACKS TWO MEN
Bird Injures Two Muskrat Hunters in
Jersey Meadow
Fairfield, N. .r., April 14. —William
and John Simpson, brothers, living near
Parsippnny, had a fight Monday after
noon with a great bird, which, they say,
was an eagle, when hunting muskrats
on the Big Piece meadows. The bird
appeared and hovered over them for a
few seconds and then shot down, strik
ing first one and then the other.
Warding off the bird's beak and
talons the young men ran to higher
ground, when the eagle turned and (lew
away. Both brothers were scratched
and bruised about the head, face and'
arms. '
