"" As Craig" pointed out the resem
blances with a pencil my amaze
ment gradually changed Into
comprehension and comprehension
Into conviction. The meaning of it all
"began to dawn on me.
The writing was identical. There
were no differences!
While we were locked in the secre
tary's office Bennett and Elaine were
{continuing their chat on various social
topics. Suddenly, however, with a
glance at the clock. R«inett told Elaine
that he had an important letter to dic
tate and that it must go off at once.
She said that she would excuse him
n few minutes, and he pressed a but
ton to call his secretary.
Of course, the secretary did not ap
(pear. Bennett left his office, with
some annoyance, and went into the ad
joining room, the door to which Ken
nedy had not locked.
, He hesitated a moment, then opened
|the door quietly. To his astonishment
the saw Kennedy, the secretary and
jmyself apparently making a close ex
lamination of the typewriter.
t Gliding, rather than walking back
nto his own office, he closed the door
ind locked it. Almost instantly fear
land fury at the presence of his hated
irival, Kennedy, turned Bennett, as it
[were, from the Jekyll of a polished
pawyer and lover of Elaine into an in
(sanely jealous and revengeful Mr.
Blyde. The strain was more than his
jwarped mind could bear.
With a look of intense horror and
(loathing Elaine watched him slowly
change from the composed, calm, in
tellectual Bennett she knew and re
spected into a repulsive, mad figure of
la man.
His stature even seemed to bo al
tered. He seemed to shrivel up and
become deformed. His face was terribly
distorted.
■ And his long, sinewy hand slowly
[twisted and bent until he became tV
[Personal embodiment of tha Clutchir
Hand.
As Elaine, transfixed with terror,
watched Bennett's astounding meta
morphosis, he ran to the door leading
to the outer office and hastily locked
that also.
Then, with his eyes gleaming with
rage and his hands working in murder
ous frenzy, he crouched nearer and
nearer, toward Elaine.
She shrank back, screaming again
and again in terror.
He was the Clutching Hand.
In spite of closed doors we could
now plainly hear Elaine's shrieks.
Craig, the secretary and myself made
a rush for the door to Bennett's pri
vate office. Finding it locked, we be
gan to batter it.
By this time, however, Bennett had
hurled himself upon Elaine and was
slowly choking her.
Kennedy found that it was impos
sible to batter down the door in time
by any ordinary means. Quickly he
seized the typewriter and hurled it
through the panels. Then he thrust
his hand through the opening and
turned the catch
As we flung ourselves into the room
Bennett rushed into a closet in a cor
ner, slamming the door behind him. it
was composed of sheet iron, and effec
tually prevented anyone from break
ing through. Kennedy and I tried vain
ly, however, to pry it open.
While we were thus endeavoring to
force an entrance Bennett, in a sort
of closet, had put on the coat, hat
and mask which he invariably wore
in the character of the Clutching
Hand. Then he cautiously opened a
secret door in the back of the closet
and slowly made an exit.
Meanwhile the secretary had been
doing his best to revive Elaine, who
■was on the floor, hysterical and half
unconscious from the terrible shock
she had experienced.
Intent on discovering Bennett's
■whereabouts, Kennedy and I examined
the wall of the office, thinking there
Kennedy Is About to Shoot When He Discovert That It Is Jameson and
Not the Clutching Hand Who Lies There Before Him.

mignt oe «rme~ nutton or secret spring
which would open the closet door.
While we were doing so the door
of a large safe In the secretary's of
fice gradually opened, and the Clutch
ing Hand emerged from It, stepping
carefully toward the door leading to
the outer office, intent on escaping in
that direction.
At that moment I caught sight of
him. and. leaping into the secretary's
office, 1 drew my revolver and ordered
him to throw up his hands. He obeyed.
Holding up both hands, he slowly
drew nedr the door to his private of
fice.
Suddenly he dropped one hand and
pressed a hidden spring in the wall.
Instantly a heavy iron door shot out
and closed over the wooden door. En
trance to the private office was abso
lutely cut off.
With an angry" snarl the Clutching
Hand leaped at me.
As he did so I fired twice.
He staggered back.
The shots were heard by Kennedy
and Elaine as well as the secretary,
and at the same instant they discov
ered the iron door which barred the
entrance to the secretary's office.
Rushing into the outer office they
found the clerks excitedly attempting
to open the door of the secretary's
office, which was locked. Kennedy
drew a revolver and shot through the
lock, bursting open the door.
They rushed into the room.
Clutching Hand was apparently seat
ed in a chair at a desk, his face bur
ied in his arms, while I was appar
ently disappearing through the door.
Kennedy and the clerks pounced
upon the figure in the chair and tore
off his mark. To their astonishment
they discovered it was myself!
My shots had missed, and Clutching
Hand had leaped on me with mad
dened fury.
Dressed in my coat and hat. which
he had deftly removed afterioverpow
ering me. Clutching Hand had by this
tivde climbed through the window of
the outer office and was making his
way down the Are escape to the street.
He reached the foot of the iron steps,
leaned off and ran quickly away.
Shouting a few directions to the sec
retary, the clerks and Elaine, Kennedy
climbed through the window and dart
ed down the fire escape in swift pur
suit.
The Clutching Hand, however, man
aged to elude capture again.
While these exciting events were
occurring in Bennett's office some
queer doings were in progress in the
heart of Chinatown.
Deep underground, in one of the
catacombs known only to the inner
most members of the Chinese secret
societies, was Tong Wah. popularly
known as "the hider," engaged in
some mysterious work.
Before him were eight odd-shaped
Chinese vials, and from these he*was
carefully measuring certain propor
tions, as if concocting some powerful
potion.
He stepped back and looked around
suspiciously as he suddenly heard
footsteps above. The next moment
Long Sin. who had entered through a
trap door, climbed down a long \ad
der and walked into the room.
Approaching Tong Wah. he asked.
"When will the death drink be
ready?"
"It is now prepared." was the re
ply.
A few minutes later the Clutching
Ilaad drove up to Long Sin's house in
the taxicab and, after paying the
chauffeur, went to the dooi and
knocked sharply.
In response to his knocking. Long
Sin appeared on the threshold and mo
tioned to Bennett to come in, evident
ly astonished to see him.
As he entered. Bennett made a se
cret sign and said: "I am the Clutch

fear the Chinaman Intimated that ha
had no place In which Bennett could
be concealed with any degree of safety.
For a moment Bennett glared sav
agely at Long Sin.
"I possess hidden plunder worth
seven million dollars," he pleaded
quickly, "and if hy your aid 1 can make
a getaway, a seventh is yours."
The Chlnaman'B cupidity was clear
ly excited by Bennett's offer, "while the
bare mention of the amount at stake
was sufficient- to overcome all his
scruples. ,
After exchanging a few words he
Anally agreed to aid the Clutching
Hand. Opening a trap door in the
floor of the room In which they were
standing, he led Bennett down a step
ladder into the subterranean chamber
in which Tong Wah had so recently
been preparing his mysterious potion.
As Bennett sank into a chair and
passed his hands over his brow in
utter weariness, Long Sin poured into
a cup some of the liquor of death
which Tong Wah had mixed. He hand
ed it to Bennett, who drank it eagerly
"How do you propose to help me to
escape?" asked Bennett huskily.
Without a word Long Sin went to
the wall, and, grasping one of the
stones, pressed it back, opening a
large receptacle, in which there were
two glass coffins apparently contain
ing two dead Chinamen. Pulling out
the coffins, he pushed them before
Bennett, who rose to his feet and
gazed upon them with wonder.
Long Sin broke the silence: "These
men," he said, "are not dead; but they
have been in this condition for many
months. It is what is called in your
language suspended animation."
"Is that what you intend to do with
me?" asked Bennett, shrinking back in
terror.
The Chinaman nodded in affirmation
as he pushed back the coffins.
Overcome by the horror of the idea
Bennett, with a groan, sank back into
the chair, shaking his head as if to in
dicate that the plan was far too ter
rible to carry out.
With a sinister smile and a shrug of
his shoulders Long Sin pointed to the
cup from which Bennett had drank.
"But, dear master," he remarked
suavely, "you have already drank a
full dose of the potion which causes
insensibility, and It is overcoming you.
Even now," he added, "you are too
weak to rise."
With a malicious chuckle Long Sin
moved closer to his victim and spoke
again.
"Divulge where your seven million
dollars are hidden," he suggested
craftily, "and I will give you an anti
dote."
By this time Bennett, who was be
coming more rigid each moment, was
unable to speak.
Slowly, and after a desperate strug
gle, he managed to raise one hand
and pointed to his breast pocket.
; The Chinaman instantly thrust in his
hand and drew out a map.
For some moments Long Sin exam
ined the map intently, and, with a grin
of satisfaction, he placed it in his own
pocket. Then he mixed what he de
clared was a sure antidote, and, pour
ing some of the liquor into a cup, he
held it to Bennett's lips.
As Bennett opened his mouth to
drink it. Long Sin with a laugh slowly
pulled the cup away and poured its
contents on the floor.
By this time I was slowly recovering
my senses in the secretary's office,
| where Bennett had left me in the dis
j guise of the Clutching Hand. Elaine,
j the secretary and the clerks were
gathered around me, doing all they
j could to revive me.
Meanwhile Kennedy had enlisted
the aid of two detectives and was
scouring the city for a trace of Ben
nett or the taxicab in which he had
fled.
Somehow, Kennedy suspected, in
stinctively. that Long Sin might give
a clue to Bennett's whereabouts, and
a few moments later we were all on
our way in a car to Long Sin's house.
Though we did not know it. Long
Sin, at the moment when Kennedy
knocked at his door, was feeling in his
I inside pocket to see that the map he
had taken from Bennett was perfectly
safe. Finding that he had it, he smiled
\ with his peculiar oriental guile. Then
1 he opened the door and stood for a
i moment, silent.
"Where is Bennett?" demanded Ken
nedy.
Long Sin eyed us all. then, with a
placid smile, said, "Follow me. I will
i shew you."
There was Bennett, seated rigidly in
' the chair beside the table, from which
the viale and cups, about which we
knew nothing, had been removed.
J "How did it happen?" asked Ken
nedy. ,
"He came here," replied Long Sin,
with a wave of his hand, "and before I
: could stop him he did away with him
j self."
I "Well, we've got him," mused Ken
| nedy, shaking his head sadly, adding
j after a pause, "but he is dead."
Elaine, who had followed us down,
| covered her eyes with her hands and
was sobbing convulsively. I thought
| she would faint, but Kennedy led her
' gently away into an upper room.
* As he placed her in an easy chair,
| he bent over her, soothingly.
"Did you—did you—really—love
him?" he asked in a low tone.
Still shuddering, and with an eager
look at Kennedy, Elaine shook her
beautiful head.
Then, slowly rising to her feet, she
| looked at Craig appealingly.
; "Forgive me," murmured Elaine.
! holding out her hand. Then she added
j In a voice tense with emotion, "Thank
you for saving me."
Kennedy took her hand. For a mo
ment he held it. Then he drew her to
vard him, unresisting.
