THE SECRET AGENTS
Dr. Leslie looked at Haynes searchingly. "Who was it?" he asked. "Madame Dupres?"
Haynes did not hesitate. "Yes," he nodded. "I had an appointment with her and told her that if I was late it would probably be that I had stopped here."
The answer came so readily that I must confess that I was suspicious of it.
"Did Madame Dupres know the Baroness Von Dorf?" asked Craig quickly.
"Yes, indeed," returned Haynes, then stopped suddenly.
"But they didn't travel in the same circle, did they?" asked Dr. Leslie, with the air of the cross-examiner who wished to place on record a fact that might later prove damaging.
"Not exactly," answered Haynes, with some hesitation.
"You knew her, of course?" added Craig.
Haynes nodded.
