MendMssohn choir of Omaha
Is now busy with Its annual
work of securing pledges for
tha coming series of concerts
with tho Chlcairo SymDhony
orchestra and ths quest-on on every hand
Is "Hava you gijmrd the pledger
H'V. 1 .
ncre mb a very strong point of Inter
1 est In the matter this year, because the
support of the Joint series of annual
L concerts by these two orranisatlons will
"jJseldo whether they will b continued.
j job reason is this: Five years ago
f the Mendelssohn choir entered into
contract with the Chicago Symphony or
chestra, which was then the Theodore
Thomas orchestra, for a series of annual
concerts to be held In the spring of each
season at the Auditorium on a basis of
popular subscription. This contract was
to remain in force for five years, de-
wntunt upon mo unanciai support se
cured by the local organisation. That
organisation did Its work well and last
season (there was a .board of guaran
tors), the choir and orchestra each lost
money for the first time. It was found
that some subscriptions had been cut
down and financial support in some
quarters was not forthcoming, owing to
the fact that there was a board of guar
antors to take up any deficit. In view
of this the management decided not to
, call on the guarantors at all and so
each party In the partnership paid up
his share of the loss and closed the
UOOKS.
This year the original scheme has been
reverted to: the subscription Is to be
popular and there will be no board of
guarantors to fall back on, but, of course,
generous subscriptions or donations to a
cash guarantee fund will be highly ao
centablc. There will be one feature this year which
will prove attractive and that Is in re
gard to the season ticket Previously
this ticket has been Issued to cover one
admission for the holder to each of the
three concerts, so that in order to get
advantage of the low subscription rate
the holder had to attend each of the
three concerts. This year the tickets
will be in the nature of a coupon book,
containing two evening coupons and one
afternoon coupon. These will be inter
changeable; the holder. can use two even
ing tickets on one evening, and If he so
elects ho can convert the matinee ticket
into an evening one by paying SO cents
additional, the matinee being l and the
evening $1.50, for the regular admission
price.
The programs this year will be of a
highly popular nature, consisting of the
favorite numbers of tho last four seasons.
So that the Mendelssohn choir Is justi
fied In its aim to get out the entire music
loving population of Omaha and vicinity
and fill the Auditorium by subscription.
If this proves to be successful immedi
ate steps will be taken to try to seoure
the partnership contract of the choir and
orchestra for another period of five years.
In any case, the Mendelssohn choir will
continue its activity.
The spring concerts this year, the last
of the five-year series, will be In the
Auditorium, April 26 and 27.
A concert which Is arousing extraor
dinary interest In musical as well as so
cial circles', is the appearance of Miss
Frances Nash, pianist, with the Min
neapolis Symphony orchestra, at the Boyd
theater on Friday evening, February 19.
This is Miss Nash's first appearance
since her return from Europe, and as she
has always been deeply In earnest and
has spent much time In serious study.
much Is expected of this gifted young
musician.
Miss Nash's propensity for hard work
quite disproves the old belief that only
'abject poverty and its accompanying bit
ter struggles develop genius. She ap
peared as soloist with the Berlin Phil
harmonic society shortly before her re
turn to America, and the testimonials of
her success are strong proof of attain
ment in her chosen art. When Miss Nash
Played the E Minor Concerto (Chopin)
with the Pbllharmonlo orchestra In
Dresden she was recalled five times.
Surely a flattering tribute to a strange
young artist.
Tho artistic gifts of Miss Nash are re
garded as an Inheritance, for she comes
of a family which has long been com
posers for Its love, study and patronage
of the arts.
For the approaching concert the entire
membership of the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra, eighty-five players, will appear,
under the direction of Mr. Emll Ober
hoffer. Mme. Schumann-Heink'a business man
ager, who was in the city on Monday
with Alma Oluck and Efrera Zltnballst,
told Miss Hopper the famous contralto
would not be able to sing again for at
least twelve months. Her doctor's state
ment was also shown to substantiate the
claim. This will of course cancel her
Omaha contract for April IS.
Frits Kreleler, violinist and hero of the
European war. will be heard in recital
at the Brandcis theater on Sunday after
noon, March 14, under Miss Hopper's
management.

Reluctantly I followed and .we entered
the place.
"I want a room," asked Craig as we
were accosted by the proprietor, comfort
ably clad In' a loud, checked suit and
striped .shirt sleeves. "I had one here
once before forty-nine, I think."...
"Fifty" I began to correct. ,
"Kennedy trod hard on my toes.
"Yes, forty-nine," he repeated.
Aha proprietor, called a stout negro por
ter, waiter and bell-hop, all combined In
one, who led us upstairs. '
' "Fohty-hlne, sah." he pointed out, as
Kennedy dropped a dime Into his ready
palm. ' ... . .
; The negro left us, and as Craig started
U enter. I objected. "But,1 Craig, It was
fifty-nine, not forty-nine. This Is the
wrong room.". '
'I know It," he replied. "I had It writ
ten In the book. But I want forty-elne
fibwr -Just follow me,' WaTter."
Nervously I followed
hint into- the
room. .'. .",...
"Don't you understand?" he went on.
"Room forty-nine Is probably Just the
same 'as' fifty-nine, except perhaps the
pictures and furniture, bnly it is on the
floor below."
He gazed about keenly. Then he took
a few steps to the window and threw It
open. As he stood there he took the parts
of the rods he had been carrying and
fitted them together until he had a pole
some eight or ten feet long. At one end
wag a curious arrangement that seemed
to contain lenses and a mirror,. At the
other end was an eye-piece, as nearly as
I could maks out.
"What Is that?" I asked as he com
pleted his Work.
"That? That Is sn instrument some-
imng on the order of a mlnature subma-J
nne periscope." Craig replied, stIU at
work.
I watchd him. fascinated at bis re
sourcefulness. He stealtthy thrust tha
mirror end of the periscope out of the
window, and up toward the corresnonri-
ing window upstairs. Then he gased eag
erly through the eye-piece.
"Walter-look!" he exclaimed to me.
I did. There, sure enough, wss Mich
ael, pacing up and down the room. He
had already preceded us. In his scared
snd stealthy manner he had entered the
Raines law hotel, which announced "Fur
nished Rooms ' for Gentlemen Only."
There e had sought a room, fifty-nine,
as he had said.
As he came into the room, he had looked
aboiut. overcome by the enormity of
what he was about to do. He locked the
door. StiU. he had not been able to
avoid gazing about fearfully, as he was
doing, now that we saw him.
Nothing had happened. Tet he brushed
his hand over his forehead and breathed
a sigh of relief. The air seemed to be
stifling him and already he had gone to
the window and thrown It open. Then
he had gazed out as though there might
be some pnknown peril In the very air.
He had now drawn back from the window
and was considering. He wa, actually
trembling. Should he flee? He whistled
softly to himself to keep his shaking
fears under control. Then he started to
pace and down the room in nervous
Impatience and Irresolution.
As I looked at him nervously walking
to and fro, I could not help admitting
that things looked ssfe enough and nil
right to me. Kennedy folded the perl
scope up and w left our room, mounting
the remaining flight of stairs.
In fifty-nine we could hear the mea
iiured step of the footman. Craig knocked.
The footsteps cessed. Then the door
ipened slowly and I could see a cold
blue automatic.
"Look out!" I cried.'
Michael In his fear had drawn a gun.
"It's all right. Walter," he added to mi.
The gun dropped back Into the foot
man's pocket. We entered and Michael
again locked the door. Not a word had
been spoken by him so far.
Next Michael moved to the center of
the room and, as I realized later, brought
himself in direct Una with tha open win
dow, He seemed to be overcome with
fear at his betrayal and stood there
breathing heavily.
"Prof. Kennedy," he began, "I have
been so mistreuted that I have made up
my mind to tell you all I know about
thla Clutching"
Suddenly he drew a shsrp breath and
both bis hands clutched at his own breast,
lis dldnot stagger and fall in the ordi
nary luanner, but seemed to btnd at the

1 We ran to him. Craig turned him over
gently on his back and examined him.
He called. No answer, Michael was al
most pulseless. '
. Quickly . Craig toro off his collar and
bared his breast, for the man seemed to
be struggling for breath. - As he did so,
he drew from Michael's throat, a small,
sharp-pointed dart.
"What's that?"- I ejaculated, horror
stricken.
"A poisoned blow-gun dart, such as is
used by tho South American Indians on
the upper Orinoco," he said slowly.
He examined It carefully.
"What Is the poison?" I asked.
Curarl," he replied simply." It acts
on the respiratory muscles, paralyzing
tbem, and causing asphyxiation."
The dart seemed to have boon made of
a quill with a very sharp point, hollow.
and containing the deadly polson in the
sharpened end.
"Look out!" I cautioned, as he
handled it. '
"Oh, that all right,"' answered casually.
"If I don't scratch myself, I am safe
enough. ' I could' swallow the stuff
and It wouldn't hurt me unless I had an
abrasion of the lips or some Internal out."
Kennedy continued to examine the Cdrl
until suddenly I heard a low exclamation
of surprise from him. Inside the hollow
quill was a thin sheet of tissue paper,
tightly rolled. He drew It out and read:
To know mc Is DEATH.
Kennedy Take warning.
Underneath was the Inevitable Clutch
ing Hand sign.
We Jumped to our feet. Kennedy
rushed to the window and slammed It
shut, while I seized the key from Mich
ael's pocket, opened the door and called
for help.
A moment before, on the roof of a build
ing, across the street, one might have
seen a bent, skulking figure. Ill a laoe
was copper colored and on his hesd was
a thick thatch of matted hair. He Iboked
like a South American Indian, In, a very
dilapidated suit of cast-off Anierlcsn !
clothes.
He had slipped out through a doorway
leading to a flight of steps from the roof
to the hallway of the tenement. His fatal
dart sent on Its unerring mission with a
precision born of long years in the South
American jungle, ha concealed the deadly 1
blow-gun in his breast pocket with a
cruel smile, and, like one of his native
venomous serpents, wormed his way down
the stairs again. I
My outcry brought a veritable battalion 1
of aid. The hotel proprietor, the negro
waiter and several others dashed upstairs,
followed shortly by a portly policeman,
puffing at the exertion.
"What's the matter here?" he panted.
"Te're all under arrest!" j
Kennedy quietly pulled out his card
case and laklijg the policeman aside
showed It to him. i
"We had an appointment to meet this'
man In that Clutching Hand case, you '
know. He is Miss Dodge's footman," ,
Craig explained.
Then he took the policeman Into his j
confidence, showing him the dart and ex
plaining shout tha poison. The officer ;
stared blankly. ,
"I must get swsy, too," hurried on
Craig. "Office!, I will leave you to take
charge here. You can depend on me for :
tbe Inquest." j
The officer nodded- " I
"Come on, Walter," whispered Craig, I
eager to get away, then adding the one
word. "Elaine:" j
I followed( hastily, not slow to under- 1
stand his fesr for her. J
Nor were Craig's fears groundless In
spite of all that could be done for her, .
Elalno was still In bed, much weaker now (
than before. While we had been gone,

More than that, tho Clutching Hand had
not neglected the opportunity, either. i
Suddenly, Just before our return, a '
stons had come burling through the win-!
dow, without warning of any kind, and
had landed on Elaine's bed.
Below, as we learned some time after
wards, a car had drawn up hastily and
the evil-faced crook whom the Clutching 1
Hand had used to lid himself of the in- I

hastily hurled the stone through the win

Elaine had sunk back into her pillows,
paler than ever from this second shock,
while the others, as they 'read the note,
were overcome by alarm and. despair at
the suddenness of the thing, f
It was Just then that Kenedy and I
arrived and were admitted.
"Oh, Mr. Kennedy," cried Elaine, hand

heaven's sake, Walter," I heard
him exclaim. "What have you been up

him examining my shoulder where I had

the paper had come off and had left a

"Arsenic!" he cried.
He whipped out a pocket lens and
looked at the paper. "This heavy, fuzzy
paper Is fairly loaded with It, powdered,"
he reported.
I looked too. The powdered arsenlo wna

did t There . was still the faint smell of
ghrllc. Kennedy paced the room. Sud
denly, pausing by tho register, an Idead
seemed to strike him.
"Walter," he whispered," come down
cellar with me:"
"Oh! Be careful," cried Elaine, anxious
for him.
"I will." he called back.
As he flashed . his pocket bull's-eye
about, his gaze, fell on the electrlo meter.
Ho paused before It. In spite of the fact
that it was broad daylight, It was run
ning. Ills face puckered.
"They are using no current at present
In tho house." he ruminated, "yet the
meter Is running."
Ho continued to examine the meter.
Then ho began to follow the electric wires
along. At .last he discovered a place
where they had been tampered with and
tapped by other wires.
The work of the Clutching Hand!" he
muttered.
Eagerly he followed the wires to the
furnace and around to tha back. There
they led right into a little water tank.
Kennedy yanked them out. As he did
so he pulled something with them.
' "Two ' electrodes the villain placed
there," lie exclaimed, holding them up
triumphantly for me to see,
T-yes," X replied, dubiously, "but wttat
does It all mean?"
"Why. don't you see? Under the In
fluence of the electrlo current the water
was decomposed and gave off oxygen
and hydrognn. The free hydrogen passed
up tha furnace and combining with tha
arsenlo in the wall paper formed the
deadly arsenlurettod -hyrogen."
He cast the whole improvised elec
trolysis apparatus on the floor and dashed
up the cellar steps.
"I've found It!" he cried, hurrying Into
Elaine's room. "It's In this
room a
deadly gas araenluretted hydrogen."
He tore open the windows.
"(lave her moved," he shouted to Aunt
Josephine. "Then have a vacuum cleaner
go over every Inch of wall, carpet and
upholstery."
i
Standing beside her, he breathlessly ex
plained his discovery. "That wall paper
has been loade l down With arsenic, prob
ably Paris green or Pchwelnfurth green,
which Is acetoarsetilte of copper. Every
minute you are hre you are breathing
arsrnluretted hydrogen. The Clutching
HanJ has cleverly contrived to Introduce
the nsacent gas Into tho room.. That acts
on the crsenlo compounds In the well
paper and haiiKliigs snd sets free the gas.
I thought I knew the smell the moment
got a whiff of It. You are slowly being
poisoned by minute quantities of the
dcailly gns. This Club hlng Hsnd Is a
dlatiollrnl Renins. Think of It poisoned
wall paper!"
N' one said a word Kennedy reached
down and took the two Clutching Hand
moef.vjcs Elaine hd received. "I shall
want to study these notes, more, too,"
he said, holding them up to the wall at i
the head of tho bed as he flashed his
pocket Ions at them. "You see, Elaine,
I may be able ti get something from
studying the Ink, the paper, the hand
writing" '
Suddenly both leaped back, with a cry.
Their faces had been several Inches
apart. Something had whlized between
them and literally Impaled the two notes
on the wall.
Down the street, on the roof of a car
riage house, back of a neighbor's, might
have been seen the uncouth figure of the
shabby South American Indian crouching
behind a chimney and gazing Intently at
the Dodge house.
As Craig had thrown open Elaine's win
dow and turned to Elaine tho figure had
crom hed closer to the chimney.
Then with an uncanny determination
he slowly rals- the Mow-gun to his lips.
I Jumied forward, followed by Dr. Hay
ward, Aunt Jcwephlne and Marie. Ken
nedy had a peculiar look as he pulled
out from the wall a blow-gun dart similar
In every way to that which had killed
Michael.
"Craig!" gasped Elaine, reaching up
and laying her soft white hand on his
arm In undisguised fear for hlra, "you
you must give up this chase for the
Clutching Hsndl"
"Olve up the chase for the Clutching

Not until either he or I Is dead!"
There was both fear and admiration
mingled In her look, as he reached down
and patted her dainty shoulder encour
agingly. (Continued Next Sunday.)
