surprise, but also little disappoint

'T got Craig, all right" he replied

"Any mail for me, professor" he

The professor opened a drawer and
handed him telegram.
"Only this!"
Quest opened it and read it through.
It was from the sheriff of a small
town in Connecticut:
'The men you inquired for are both
here. They have sold an automobile
and seem to be spending the proceeds.
Shall I arrest?"
Quest studied the message for a
moment
Say, this is rather interesting, pro-
fessor," he remarked. "These are
the two thugs who set upon me
at the section house. They killed the
signal man, who could have been
my alibi, and swiped my car, in
which, as it cannot be found, French
supposes that returned to New York.
With their arrest the case against

fessor," Quest continued frowning. IT
