NEWS WASHINGTON N C FRIDAY AFTRRNOOfJ APRIL 9 1915 FIRST EPISODE '"*} The Ctutohlng Hsnd. "There must be something now In order to catch criminals nowadays. The old method b are all right? as faf a? they go But while we have been using them, criminals have kept pace with modern science." Craig Kennedy teld down his new* paper and Ailed his nipo with my to* bocco. In college we had roomed to gether. had shared everything, oven povertv and now that Craig was a professor of chemistry in chargo of the laboratory at the university and I had a sort or roving commission on the staff of the 8tar, we had continued our arrangement. "It has always seemed stranpe to me." he went on slowly ; "that ho one has ev*r endowed a iro fees or ship In criminal science In any of the largo colleges." I tossed aside my own .paper and ' - "Why should there be a chair In criminal science?" I replied argu- 1 mentatlrely. settling back In my chair. "I've done my tarn at police headquar ters reporting, and I can tell you, Craig, it's no place for a college pro fessor.* Crime Is ? Just crime. And aa for dealing with it the great detec tive is born and bred to It. College professors for the sociology of the thing ? yes: for the detection of It, . give me a Byrnee." "On the contrary." persisted Ken nedy. hie clean-cut featnres betraying an earnestness which I knew Indicated that be w^M|?ding up to something of important, "there is a distinct place tor science In the detection of crime. Today we have professors of everything?why not professors of crime science?" ? > ? Still, as I shook my head dubiously, he hastened to clinch bis point. 'Col leges have got- down to solving the hard facts of life, nowadays? pretty nearly *11. except one. They Kill trenr crljno in the jjp^way. study Us statis tics and poro over its causes snd tho theories of how It can be prevented and punished. But as for running down the criminal himself, sclentlilcaJly, re lenfllSssly ? bah! we haran't made enough progress to mention elr.ee tho hammer and tongs method of your Minted Byrnes." . ;&;<? ;J% - "Doubtless yon will wrlta a brochure on this most Interesting subject," I suggested, "and Itft it go at that." "No, 1 am serious," * ho replied, de termined for some reason or other to make a convert of me. "I mean ex actly what I say. I am going to apply science to the detection of crime, tho same sort of bethods by which wo trace out the presence of a mysteri ous chemical or track down a deadly germ. And before I have gone far. I am golhg to enlist Walter Jameson as an aid. I think I shall need you in my business." "How do I come in?" 1 asked. "Well, for one thing, yon will get a 'scoop.' a 'beat'? whatever you call ft In that newspaper jargon of yours." "Fortunately, Walter," he pursued, "the crime-hunters hsve gdne ahead In science faster than the criminals. It* a to be my job to catch criminal. Youra, It seems to me, is to show peoplo how they can never hope tor beat the mod-, ern scientific detective." "Go as far as you like," 1 exclaimed, convinced at last. And so it was that we formed this strange how partnership In crime ncf ence that has existed ever since. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Jameson, here's a story I wish you'd follow np," remarked the Aan aging editor of the 8tar to me one evening after I had turned In an as signment of the late afternoon. He handed me a clipping from thei evening edition of the Star. ?nd l| quickly ran my eye over the headline: "THE CLUTCHING HAND" WINS NEW YORK MYSTERIOUS MAS TER CRIMINAL PERFECTS ANOTHER COUP.

Am English butlor, with a nose that must have been his fortdne, opened the door and gravely Informed mo that Mr. Dodge was not at home, but was exported at any moment. Once in. 1 was not going lightly to givo up that adyantage. I bethought myself of his daughter Elaine, one of the most popular debutantes of the .eeasoq, and o?*nt in my card to her, on a chance of interesting her and seeing 1 her father, writing on the bottom of ihe card: "Would", like to . interview Mr. Dodgo rbfcardlng Clutching-Hand." 8ummof.!ng op what assurance I had, which Is sometimes considerable, I followed the butler down tho hall as he bore my card. As he opened the door of the drawing-room. I caught a vision of a slip of a girl in evening clothes. Blaine Dodge was both the Ingenue and the athlete? the thoroughly mod ern type of girl? eqpally at home with ' tennis and tango, table talk and ten.. 'Near her 1 recognized from his pic-! tures Harry Bennett, the rising young corporation lawyer, a mighty good/ looking fellow, with an affable, pleas ing way about him. perhaps thirty-five years old or so. but already prominent and quite friendly with Dodge. 4?Who la It, Jennings?" she asked. 1 "A reporter, Miss Dodge." answered the butler, glancing superciliously hack at me.

Thoro was a note 6t seriousness In It, too, that made me ask quickly, "Why?" The smile flitted from her face, and i n its place came a frank earaest ex pression, which I later learned to like and reapeet very much. "My lather has declared ho will eat tho very neat re portor who trie? to Interview him here," she answered. I was about to prolong the waiting time by some jolly about such a^stun- , nine Girt not having by any poasIdII tty such a cannibal of a parent, when the rattle of the changing gears of a ear outside tcld' of the approach of a limousine. i i The big front door opened and Elaine flung herself In the arms of an elderly, stornfaetd. gray-haired man. "Why, dad," she crlcd, "whore have you been? 1 missed you so muoh at dinner. I'll be to glad whea this ter* rlble business gets cleared up. Tall? me. What Ib on your tnlod? What Is It that worrloi you novrV I noticed then that Dodgn soemed wrought up and a bit unnerved, for he sank rather haevtiy Into a chair, brushed his face with his handkerrhlof and breathed heavily- Blaine hovered over him solicitously, repeating b^r question. ?With a mighty effort he seemed to get himself together. He rose and turned to Bennett -Harry," he e*clalaed. "I've got the Clutching HaudJ" ? mm out bow I ir? < I m I Just the? Dodgo caught sight or a#e. For the moment 1 thought perhaps he was going to fulfill h!a threat. "Wlio the devU-r-xvhy didn't you tell me a reporter we* tore, Jennings?" he 'j puttered indignantly, pointing toward tfre door. ' ! Argument, entreaty, were of na j avail. There was nothing to do but go. j At least, I reflected, I had the great- i or part of the story? all except the one I big thing, however? the nemo o t tho criminal. But Dodgo would know him , tomorrow! I hurried back to the Star to write my story In time to catch the last morning edition. Meanwhile, if I may anticipate my etory, I must tell of what we later learned had happened to Dodgo so completely to upset him. , Brer since the Consolidated Mutual had been hit by the. murders he had had many lines out in the hope of enmesh ing tho perpetrate^. That night, as 1 found out the next day. he had at last heard cf a clue. One ot the Company's detectives had brought in a red-hsad ed, iame, partly paralyzed crook, who onjoyed the expressive monnlkcr of "Limpy Red." LUupy Red was a yuaman of some renown, ' evil-faced and, having nothing much to lose, des perate. Whoever tho muster criminal of tho clutching hand might have been he had seen V. to employ Limpy, but liad not taken the precaution of getting rid of him soon enough when he was through. Therefore Limpy had a grievance, and now descended under pressure to the low level of snitching to Dodgo In his oflicc. ">?o, governor," the trembling wretch had said as ho handed over a Slimy envelope, '"I ain't never seen his faco ? but hero is directions how to fled .his hangout." As Limpy ambled out, he turned to Dodge, quivering at tho enormity of his "Don't Lot On How You Found Outl" unncrdonable sin In gangland: "For Qod's sake, governor, '' be Implored, "don't let on bow you found out!" And yet Limpy Red had scarcely left with his promise not to tell, when Dodge, happening to turn over some papers* came upon sn envelope left on his own desk, bearing that mysteri ous Clutching hnnd! He tore it open, and read In amaze ment: ? . r ?" "Destroy Llmpy Red's instructions within the next hour." Dodge gazed about in wonder. Thin was getting on his nerves. He de termined to go home and rest Outside the house, as he left his car, pasted over the monogram on tbo door, he-. had found another note, with the came weird mark and the single word: "Remember!" In spits of the pleadings of young Rfennott, Dodge refused to take warn ing. In the safe in his beautifully fltted library he deposited Ltmpy's doc ument In an envelope containing all the correspondence thai bad led up to I the final step In the discovery. ? ?????? It was late in the evening when I returned to our apartment end, not finding Kenpedy there, kfrsw that 1 would dtscovor him at the laboratory. "Cralf," I cried as I burst in on him. "I've got a case for you? greater than any ever before." Kennedy looked up calmly from tho I ruck of scientific instruments that sur | rounded Mm? tost tubes, beakers> c;:rrful|y labeled bottles. | "Indeed?" he remarked,, coolly go j leg back to his work. i'r "Yea." 1 eriod.

Jennings' face blanched then he turned tremblingly and went down to the library door, whence the sounds had seemed to come. Ho called, but thore was no answer. He turned the knob and opened the door. The Dodge library was a largo rrom. In the center stood a big, flat frpped deck of heavy mahogany. It was brilliantly lighted. <. At one end of the desk was ^ tele phone. Taylor Dodge was lying on the Upor at that end of the desk ? perfect ly rigid ? his face distorted? a ghastly figure. A pet dog ran over, sniffed frantically at his masters logs and -suddenly began to howl dismally. Dodge was dead! "Help!" shouted Jennings. Othors of the servants came rnstv lrg in. There was, for the moment, the greatest excitement and confu sion. Suddenly a wild figure in flying gar ments flitted down the stairs and Into the library, dropping beside 'he dead man, without seeming to notice us at all. "Father!" shrieked a woman's voice, heart- brokeh. "Fathor! Oh? "my Ood ? he?he la dead!" It was Elaine Dodge. With a mighty effort, the heroic girl seemed to pull herself together. "Jennings," she cried, "coll Mr, Ben nett? Immediately !
