She was the daughter of the Colonel's second wife. Our Madam is the sweetest, gentlest lady you can imagine, an angel of goodness. But the Lieutenant here has always been a care to his family, they say. I guess he's quieted down a bit now, for his father he's Colonel Leining, retired made him get exchanged from the city to a small garrison town.
"Lieutenant Theobald Leining was here on a visit to his sister last March, wasn't he?" the detective asked as Franz led him out of the gate. "Yes, sir; the Lieutenant was here just about that time," answered the old man. "And he left here on the 16th of March?" "On the 16th? Why, it may have been yes, it was the 16th that is our lady's birthday. He went away that day."
Colonel Leining, retired, the father of two such widely different children, was doubtless a man of stern principles, and an army officer as well, therefore a man with a doubly sensitive code of honour and a social position to maintain; and this man, morbidly sensitive probably, had a daughter who had inherited his sensitiveness and his high ideals of honour, a daughter married to a rich husband.
There was a Lieutenant Theobald Leining in the single infantry regiment stationed at Marburg. Muller took a cab and drove to the main telegraph office. He asked for the original of the telegram which had been sent that afternoon to the address; "Herbert Thorne, Hotel Danieli, Venice." This closed the circle of the chain. The detective re-entered his waiting cab and drove back to Hietzing.
That part of their talk which he overheard told him that the man was a blackmailer, and that he was making money on the fact that he had caught Theobald Leining cheating at cards. This chance had put the officer into Winkler's power.
