A moment later he stuck his head over the pile of driftwood, and indulged in a leisurely survey of the river. His eye was introspective, vacant, his mouth was half open, and his tongue lolled out so comically that Dick almost laughed aloud. No one moved by so much as a hand's breadth. The bear dropped back to his cooling sand with a sigh of voluptuous pleasure. The canoes drew a little nearer.

"Yes," he murmured, "we have found the Clutching Hand's millions, but we have lost Elaine." Elaine was still in the power of Wu Fang.

Then, tightening his hold, he gave an almost imperceptible twist.

No word of farewell was uttered. Her mouth moved, but her eyes were hard shut, and nothing save her hand's strenuous pressure, equalling his own, told that their parting had been spoken, the link violently snapped.
