The detective could not leave town before, as he had to procure a warrant for the arrest of Alfred Denham, alias Wilson, alias George Franklin, and half a dozen other names. The man was to be arrested for various robberies connected with the gang of thieves, of which he was the head.
"Oh, that's all right," he replied. "We are friends now?" "Friends, and nothing more than friends. I am returning to Vienna with my mother, and have agreed to marry Count Taroc."
