NEMESIS
When Pierre Duval left by the night train for Bordeaux it was his intention to take one of the Sud Atlantique steamers and sail for South America. On alighting at the terminus at Bordeaux he glanced round to see that no one was observing him, and being satisfied on that score he bid the cocher drive to the Hotel Montesquieu.
"Thank goodness," he said to himself, "I am safe at last, and this day week I shall be on board La Gascogne, bound for Rio de Janeiro and no one will recognise me there."
