I designed only to try the Hôtel Cornavin to ascertain the real facts; and if, as I shrewdly suspected, I had been fooled, to return forthwith and rejoin Falloon at the true point of interest, taking such further steps as might seem desirable. I was chiefly anxious to regain touch and combine forces with Falfani. There was no mistake, however, at the Cornavin Hôtel. I had not been fooled.
With this idea I took the earliest opportunity of telegraphing to him as follows: "Detained by unfortunate contretemps at Lausanne, happily surmounted, clue lost and regained. Desire your coöperation. Come instantly, Hôtel Cornavin. She is here.
We made exhaustive inquiries at the Cornavin station, where we arrived from Lausanne, and heard something. The party had certainly been seen at this very station. Two ladies, one tall, the other short, with a baby. They had gone no further then; they had not returned to the station since. So far good.
This I folded carefully and addressed to him, entrusting it to Falloon, who was to seek out my colleague at the Hôtel Cornavin after the arrival of the late train from Brieg, and deliver it. At the same time I handed Falloon a substantial fee, but desired him to offer his services to Falfani. I saw no more of the lady.
There are so many ramifications in this affair. I took it for a single tunnel, but it seems to be a regular system." "It is," said Garth. "It extends on the other side of the water too. We got into it this evening through that house in the Place Cornavin where Macdermott was bilked by a Sinn Feiner."
She is saving herself; she is running away," he cried. "Already her carriage enters the station without doubt she seeks the train for somewhere." I jumped up, rushed from the room, caught up my hat, and hurried across the Square of Place Cornavin into the station. It was a clear case of bolt.
