Under cover, the crook made the sign of the Clutching Hand twice and was admitted. "That's the place, all right." whim pered Kennedy with satisfaction. He hurried to a telephone booth, where he called several numbers. Then we returned to the laboratory. From the table he picked up a small coll over which I had seen him working and attached it to the bell and some batteries. He replaced It on the table, while I watched curl, ously. "A selenium cell," he explained. "Only when light falls on It does It become a good conductor of electrici ty. Then the bell will ring." Just before making the connection he placed his hat over the cell. Then he lifted the hat. The light fell on it and the bell rang. He replaced the hat and the bell stopped. Just then there came a knock at the door. I opened it. "Hello. Chase," ' greeted Kennedy. "Well, I've found the new headquar ters all right—over on the West side." Kennedy picked up the selenium cell and a long coll of fine wire, which he placed in a bag. Then he took anothef bag already packed, and, shifting them between us, we hurried downtown. Near the vacant lot, back of the new headquarters, wae an old broken down house. Through the rear of it we entered. , I started back in astonishment as we entered and found eight or ten policemen already there. Kennedy had ordered them to be ready for a raid, and they had dropped in one at a time without attracting attention. "Well, men." he greeted them. "1 see you found the place all right. Now, in a little while Jameson will return with two wires. Attach them to the bell which I will leave here. When it rings, raid the honse. Jame son will lead you to it. Come, Wal ter," he added, picking up the bags. e • • • • • • Ten minutes later, outside the new headquarters, a crouched-up figure, carrying a small package, his face hidden under his soft hat and up turned collar, could have been seen slinking along until he came to the steps. He went up and peered through the aperture of the doorway. Then he rang the bell. Twice he raised his hand and clenched it in the now fa miliar clutch. A crook Inside saw it through the aperture and opened the door. The figure' entered and almost before the door was shut tied the masking hand kerchief over his face, which hid his identity" from even the most trusted lieutenants. The crook bowed to the chief, who. with a growl as though of recognition, moved down the hall. As he came to the room from which Slim had been sent on his mission, the same group was seated In the thick tobacco smoke. "You fellows clear out,* he growled. "I want to be alone." "The old man is peeved," muttered one. outßide, as they left. The weird figure gazed about the room to be sure that he was alone. • •••••• When Craig and I left the police he had given me most minute instruc tions which I was now following out to the letter. "I want you to hide there," he said, indicating a barrel back of the house next to the hangout. "When you see a wire come down from the headquar ters, take it and carry it across the lot to the old houfee. Attach It to the bell; then wait. When It rings, raid the Clutching Hand Joint." I waited what seemed to be an in terminable time back of the barrel.

I made a dash for it, aa ( though I were trying to rush the trenches, seized my prize and, without looking back to see where It came from, beat a hasty retreat. Around the lot I skirted, until at last 1 reached the place where the police were .waiting. Quickly wa fastened the wire to the bell. We waited. Not a aound from the bell. • •••*•• Up in \he room in the Joint the hunohed-up figure stood by the table. He had taken hla hat off and placed It carefully on th 6 table and waa now waiting. Suddenly a noise at the door startled him. He listened. Then he backed away from the door and drew a revol ver. t As the door slowly opened there en tered another figure, hat over his eyes, collar up, a handkerchief over his face, the exact counterpart of the first! For a moment each glared at the other. "Hands up!" shouted the first fig ure, hoarsely, moving the gun and closing the door with his foot. The newcomer slowly raised his crooked hand over his head, as th* blue steel revolver gaped menacingly. With a quick movement of the other hand the first sinister figure removed the handkerchief from his face and straightened up. It "was Kennedy I "Come over to the center of the room," ordered Kennedy. Clutching Hand obeyed, eyeing his captor closely. "Now lay your weapons on the ta ble." He tossed down a revolver. The two still faced each other. "Take off that handkerchief!" It was a tense moment. Slowly Clutching Hand started to obey. Then he stopped. Kennedy was Just about to thunder, "Go on," when the criminal calmly remarked. "You've got MB all right, Kennedy, but in twenty minutes Elaine Dodge will be dead!" He said It with a nonchalance that might have deceived anyone less as l tute than Kennedy. Suddenly there flashed over Craig the words: "THE TRICK WILL BE PULLED OFF AT THREE O'CLOCK!" There was no fake about th»t. Ken nedy frowned menacingly. If he killed Clutching Hand, Blaine would die. If he fought he must either kill or be killed. If he handed Clutching Hand over Elaine was lost. He looked at his watch. It was twenty-five min utes of three. "What do you mean—tell me?" de manded Kennedy with forced calm. "Yesterday Mr. Bennett bought a wrist watch for Elaine." the Clutching Hand said quietly. "They left It to be regulated.' One of my men bought one Just like it. Mine was delivered to her today." "A likely story!" doubted Kennedy. For answer the Clutching Hand merely pointed to the telephone. Kennedy reached for it. "One thing," Interrupted the Clutch ing Hand. "You are a man of honor." "Yes —yes. Go on." "If I tell you what to do, you must promise to give me a fighting chance." "Yes, yes." "Call up Aunt Josephine, then. Do Just as I say." Covering Clutching Hand, Kennedy called a number. "This is Mr. Ken nedy, Mrs. Dodge. Did Blaine receive a present of a wrist watch from Mr. Bennett?" "Yes," she replied, "for her birth day. It came this forenoon." Kennedy hung up the receiver and faced the Clutching Hand, puzzled as the latter said: "Call up Martin, the Jeweler." Again Kennedy obeyed. "Has the watch purchased for Mtai Elaine Dodge been delivered?" h« asked the clerk. "No," came back the reply, "the watch Mr. Bennett bought Is itiU hare being regulated." Kennedy hung up the recelrer. H« was stunned. "The watch will cause her death at three o'clock," said the Clutching Hand. "Swear to leave here without discovering my Identity and I will tell you how. You can save her! In thai watch," he hissed, "I have sst a pot soned needle In a spring that will be released and will plunge it Into hei arm at exactly three o'clock. On the needle Is rlclnus!" Craig advanced, furious. As he did so Clutching Hand pointed calmly t« the clock. It was tweaty minutes ol three! With a mental struggle Kennedy controlled his loathing of the creature before him. • "All, right—but you'll hear from me—sooner than you suspect," he shouted, starting for the door. Then be came back and lifted bit hat, hiding as much as possible the selenium cell, letting the light fall on It "Only Elaine's life has saved you." With a last threat he dashed out He hailed a cab, returning from some steamship wharves not far away.- "Quick!" he ordered, giving the Dodge addraaa on Fifth avenue. Minute after minute the police nn
