"But first," qualified Louise, "we must _catch_ Bess Hulbert!"
Chapter X
The Arrow in Flames
Although no definite results had yet been accomplished, Linda and Louise felt when they left the little French Convent in Canada that they were on the way to victory. All that was necessary now was to get in touch with Linda's father, who, through his lawyer and detectives, would bring Bess Hulbert to justice.
The facts as they saw them were surprisingly clear and simple, and could not fail to convince the police.
First of all, the firm of J. W. Carwein had declared that they had bought the goods in the belief that they were made in the United States.
Secondly, the firm had been deceived. The goods were not made in this country, but in Canada, as the girls had just proved by their visit to the Convent.
Thirdly, they had been bought by a girl in an airplane, who represented herself as an agent of Mr. Carlton.
The only missing link in the chain was the actual proof that the girl in the airplane was Bess Hulbert.
