“What did they call themselves?” asked Dunston Porter.
“John Leeds and Samuel Cross,” answered the clerk. “They had Room 87, and were here two days.”
“Do you know where they went to?” asked Phil.
“Can you tell me anything at all about them?” went on Dave. “It is very important, indeed.”
“I might as well tell you,” put in Mr. Porter, in a low voice. “They were a pair of criminals.”
“You don’t say! Well, do you know, I didn’t much like their looks,” returned the clerk. “And come to think of it, one acted rather scared-like, the fellow calling himself Leeds—this one,” and he pointed to the picture of Link Merwell.
“And you haven’t any idea where they went to?”
“Not the slightest. They simply paid their bill and went away.”
“Did they have any trunks sent off?” asked Roger. “We might find the expressman,” he explained, to the others.
