As he glanced in he uttered a cry of surprise. "The card Mr. Liggins gave me to present to Mr. Tevis is gone!" he exclaimed. "Here! We must catch Professor Punjab! He has my card. Come on!" Jack was about to rush down the stairs but was stopped by several of the men. "You can't catch him," they said. "Besides, the police may have him by now. Go back and get dressed."
He'll see that you get into the city from here, all right, and will take good care of you.
