Despujol is a very wary bird," replied Monsieur Coulagne, rising and walking out into the Place, where he whispered some hurried words to a stout, well-dressed man who was sauntering by, and who was his chief inspector.
"And what about Moroni?" I asked. "He will be followed. I have already seen to that," was the reply. Back at the Prefecture Monsieur Coulagne was soon speaking rapidly over the telephone. Then we waited for news of the fugitive. None came until about two hours afterwards the result of inquiries was told to us by an inspector.
"I have taken precautions," replied Monsieur Coulagne, smiling. "I have ordered ten men in plain clothes to go at once unobtrusively to the Hôtel du Luxembourg, and arrest him when he returns." "That will frighten De Gex and Moroni," I said quickly. "And if they are frightened they will escape!" Rivero laughed. I knew that he entirely disbelieved my statement.
We at once took a cab to the Prefecture where we were ushered into the presence of Monsieur Coulagne, a rather tall, grey-haired elegant man, with the rosette of the Legion of Honour in his coat. When Rivero introduced himself the Commissary bowed to us both and bade us be seated.
