' "Mum's the word." cautioned Ken
nedy. "Tou must smuggle us out of
the house some way."
Kennedy lost no time in confirm
ing the suspicion* of his bolometer as
to the cause of the death of the In
nocent victims of the machinations of
the Clutching Hand.
Both of them, he had learned, had
been removed to -a nearby undertak
ing shop, awaiting the verdict of the
coroner. We sought out the shop
and prevailed on the undertaker to
let us see the bodies.
As Kennedy pulled down the shroud
from the face oY the first victim he
disclosed on his forehead a round,
dark spot about the size of a small
coin. Quickly he moved to the next
coflln and, uncovering the face, dis
closed a similar mark.
"What is it?" 1 asked, awe struck.
"Why," he said, "I've heard of a cer
tain Viennese, one LeCroix, I believe,
who has discovered, or perfected, an
Infra-red ray instrument which shoots
its power a great distance with ex
treme accuracy and leaves a mark
like these."
We thanked the undertaker for his
«J»urtesy and went out.
Meanwhile Blaine had called up Per
ry Bennett.
"Mr. Bennett," she exclaimed over
the wire, "Just guess who called on
me?"
"Who?" he answered; "I give It up."
"Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Jameson,"
■he called back.
"Ia that so?" he returned. "Isn't
that fine? I didn't think ha was the
kind to run away like that. How did
It happen?"
Elaine quickly told the story as I
had told her.
Had ahe known It, however, Bennett's
ralet. Thomas, was at that very mo
ment listening at the portieres, in
tensely Interested.
As Bennett hung up the receiver
Thomas entered the room.
"If anyone calls me." ordered Ben
nett, "take the message, particularly
If it Is from Miss Dodge."
"Yes, air," nodded the valet with a
covert glance at his master.
It was not long afterward that a
knock sounded at the door of the new
headquarters of the Clutching Hand.
LeCroix and the secretary were there,
as well as a couple of others.
"The Chief!" exclaimed one.
The secretary opened the door,
and, sure enough, the Clutching Hand
entered.
There came another knock. This
time, as the door opened. It was
Thomas, Bennett's faithless valet, who
entered.
"Say," blurted out the Informer, "do
you know Kennedy and Jameson are
back?"
"Back?" cried the crooks.
"Yes they didn't go. Changed
clothe* with the porters. I Just heard
Miss Dodge telling Mr. Bennett."
Clutching Hand eyed him keenly,
then seemed to burst Into an ungov
* ernable fury.
Quickly he began volleying orders
at the valet and the others. Then,
with the secretary and two of the
other crooks he left by another door
from that by which he had sent the
▼alet
leaving the undertakers, Kennedy
and I made our way, keeping off
thoroughfares, to police headquarters,
where, after making ourselves known,
Craig made arrangements for a raid
on the house across the street from
the laboratory where he had seen the
opera glass reflection.
Then, as secretly as we had come,
we went out again, letting ourselves
Into the laboratory, stealthily looking
up and down the street. We entered
by a basement door, which Kennedy
carefully locked again.
No sooner had we disappeared than
* one of the Clutching Hand's spies,
who had been watching behind a bar
rel of rubbish, gave the signal of the
hand down the street to a confeder
ate. and, going to the door, entered by
means of a skeleton key.
We entered our laboratory which
Kennedy had closed the day before.
With shades drawn it now looked de
aerted enough.
Kennedy went over to a cabinet,
and from it took out a notebook and
a small box. Opening the notebook on
' the laboratory table, he rapidly turned
the pages.
"Here, Walter," he remarked. "This
will answer your question about the
mysterious deadly ray."
I moved over to the table, eager to
satisfy my curiosity and read the
notes which he indicated with his
linger.
INFRA-RED RAY NOTES.
The pure Infra-red ray which has been
floveloped by T.eCrolx from the experi
ments of the Italian scientist, Ullvl, causes,
when concentrated by an apparatus per
fected by LeCrolx, an instantaneous com
bustion of non-reflecting surfaces. It Is
particularly deadly In its efTect on the
brain centers.
It can be diverted. It Is said, however,
by a shield composed of platinum backed
by asbestos.
Next Kennedy opened the case
■which he had taken out of the cab
inet, and from It he took out a plat-

inum-asbestos mirror, which was
something of his own invention. He
held it up, and in pantomime showed
me Just how It would cut off the dead
ly rays.
He had not finished even that, when
a peculiar noise in the laboratory it
self disturbed him. and he hastily
thrust the asbestos-platinum shield
into his pocket.
"Though we had not realized it, our
return had been anticipated.
Suddenly from a closet projected a
magazine gun, and before we could
move Clutching Hand himself slowly
appeared behind us.
We started to our feet, but In an
Instant found ourselves sprawling on
the floor.
In the cabinet, beneath the labora
tory table, another crook had been
hidden, and he tackled us with all
the skill of an old football player,
against whom we had no defense.
Four of them were upon us In
stantly.
At the same time Thomas, the faith
less valet of Bennett, had been dis
patched by the Clutching Hand to
commandeer hlB master's roadster in
his absence, and. carrying out the in
structions, he had driven up before
Elaine's house at the very moment
when she was going out for a walk.
Thomas Jumped out of the car and
touched his hat deferentially.
"A message from Mr. Bennett,
ma'am,!' he explained. "Mr. Kennedy
and Mr. Bennett have sent me to ask
you to come over to the laboratory."
Unsuspectingly, Elaine stepped into
the car and drove off.
Instead, however, of turning and
pulling up on the laboratory side of
the street, Thomas stopped opposite
It. He got out sjid Blaine, thinking
that perhaps it was to save time
that he had not turned the car around,
followed.
The door was opened quickly by a
lookout of the Clutching Hand and the
valet asked if Craig and Elaine's law
yer were in. Of course, the lookout
replied that they were, and before
Elaine knew it she was jostled into
the dark hallway.
And a"S*the door slammed she caught
sight of the fearsome Clutching Hand
himself.
She drew back, but was too fright
ened even to scream.
With a harsh, cruel'laugh, the super
criminal beckoned to her to follow
him and look down through a small
trapdoor.
Unable now to resist, she did so.
There she saw us. To that extent
the valet had told the truth. Ken
nedy was standing in deep thought,
while I sat on an old box, smoking a
cigarette—very miserable.
Watching his chance, when the
street was deserted, the Clutching
Hand and his followers had hustled
us over to the new hangout from the
laboratory. There they had met more
crooks and had thrust us into this vile
hole.
As the various ineffectual schemes
for escape surged through my head, I
happened to look up and caught a
glance of horror on Craig's face. 1
followed his eyes. There, above us,
was Elaine!
I saw her look from us to the Clutch
ing Hand in terror. But none of us
uttered a word.
"I will now show you, my dear
young lady," almost hissed the Clutch
ing Hand at length, "as pretty a game
j of hide and seek as you have ever
seen."
I As he said it another trapdoor near
the infra-red .ray machine was opened
and a beam of light burst through. I
knew it was not that which we had to
fear, but the invisible rays that ac
j companied it, the rays that had af-
I fected the bolometer.
Just then a spot of light showed
j near my foot, moving about the ce
ment floor until it fell on my shoe. In
stantly the leather charred, even be
fore I could move.
Kennedy and I leaped to our feet
and drew back. The beam followed
us. We reteated further. Still it fol
lowed, inexorably.
Clutching Hand was now holding
Elaine near the door where she could
not help seeing, laughing diabolically
while he directed LeCroix and the rest
to work the infra-red ray apparatus
through the trap.
As we dodged from corner to corner,
endeavoring to keep the red ray from
touching us, the crooks seemed in no
hurry, but rather to enjoy prolonging
the torture, as does a cat with a
mouse.
"Please—oh, please—stop!" begged
Elaine.
Clutching Hand only laughed with
fiendish delight and urged his men on.
The thing was getting closer and
closer.
Suddenly we heard a strange voice
ring out above us. '
"Police!"
"Where?" growled the Clutching
Hand In fury.
"Outside—a raid! Run! He's told
them?"
Already we could hear the ham
mers and axes of the police whom
Kennedy had called upon before, as
they battered at this outside door.
HAHMSBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1915.
At mat door 1 a moment before the
lookout suddenly had given a startled
■tare and a suppressed cry. Glancing
down the street he had seen a police
patrol In which were a soore or more
of the strong-arm aquad. They had
lumped out, some carrying sledge
hammers, others axea.
Almost before be could cry out and
retreat to give a warning they had
reached the door and the first re
sounding blows had been struck.
The lookout quickly had fled and
drawn the bolts of a strong Inner
door, and the police began battering
that impediment.
Instantly Clutching Hand turned to
LeCroix at the F-ray machine.
"Finish them!" he shouted.
We were now backed up against a
small ell In the wall of the cellar. K
was barely large enough to hold us,
but by crowding we were able to keep
out of the reach of the ray. The ray
shot past the ell and struck the wall a
couple of Incheß from us.
, I looked. The. cement began to
crumble under the intense heat.
Meanwhile the police were having
great difficulty with the steel bolt
studded door. Still It was yielding a
bit.
"Hurry!" shouted Clutching Hand
to LeCroix.
Kennedy had voluntarily placed him
self In front of me in the ell. Carefully,
to avoid the ray, he took the asbestos
platinum shield from his pocket and
slid it forward as best he could over
the wall to the spot where the ray
struck.
It reflected the ray.
But so powerful was it that even
that part of the ray which was deflect
ed could be seen to strike the celling
in the corner, which waa of wood. In
stantly, before Kennedy could even
move the shield, the wood burst into
flames.
Above us now smoke was pouring
Into the room where the deflected ray
struck the floor and flames broke out.
"Confound him!" ground out Clutch
ing Hand, as they saw it.
The other crooks backed awar and
atood hesitating, not knowing quite
what to do.
The police had by this time finished
battering in the door and had rushed
Into the outer passage.
While the (lames leaped up, the
crooks closed the last door into the
room.
i "Run!" shouted Clutching Hand, as
] they opened a secret gate, disclosing
a spiral flight of Iron steps. •
A moment later all had disappeared
except Clutching Hand himself. The
last s door would hold only a few sec
onds, but Clutching Hand was waiting
to take advantage of even that. With
| a last frantic effort he sought to di-

she rushed forward, overturning the
i machine.
I Clutching Hand uttered a growl and
slowly raised his gun, taking aim with
the butt for a well-directed blow at
her head.
I Just then the door yielded and a

enough time to dodge through and
slam the secret dodk- in the faces of
the squad as they rushed in..
Back of the house Clutching Hand
and the other crooks were now pass
ing through a bricked passage. The
Are had got so far beyond control by
this time that it drove the police back
from their efforts to open the secret
door. Thus the Clutching Hand had
made good his escape through the
passage which led out, as we later dis
covered, to the railroad tracks along
the river.
"Down there—Mr. Kennedy—and
Mr. Jameson," cried Elaine, pointing
at the trap which was hidden in the
strife.
The fire had gained terrific head

fcnd stuck It down into the basement.

iously, taking Craig's arm.
"Not a bit —thanks to you!" he re
plied, forgetting all in meeting the
eager questioning of her wonderful
eyes.
