Mershone, after one brief exclamation of dismay, wrested from him by surprise, threw himself into the chair again and stared at the fire. For a few moments there was intense stillness in the little room. "How easy it is," said Fogerty, in soft, musing tones, "to read one's thoughts under certain circumstances. You are thinking, Mr.
No man can disappear from his customary haunts without leaving some sort of a record behind him, and Fogerty may be able to uncover the mystery in a short time." "Then we'll lose our pressman," declared Beth; "for I'm positive that Thursday Smith was a person of some importance in his past life."
Cerise turned to show him the way, and the others followed in an awed group. The key was in the lock of the door to the missing girl's room, but the door itself now stood ajar. Fogerty entered, cast a sharp look around and walked straight to the window.
You even took the foolish chance of heading me off, and returned to this hotel before I did. Now, then, is my charge unfounded?" "Why should you be under the surveillance of a detective?" asked Fogerty, slowly. "Really, my boy, I cannot say. There was an unpleasant little affair last night at the Waldorf, in which I was not personally concerned, but suffered, nevertheless.
"I believe," said Mershone, rising abruptly, "I'll go and join the search. Fogerty has arrested me, but you needn't worry about my trying to escape. I don't care what becomes of me, now, and I'm going straight to join the detective." They allowed him to go without protest, and he buttoned his coat and set out in the storm to find the others.
