"Where are you going?" asked Olga nervously.
"To see Otto."
A bold attempt was made to rob Servan while in the box, but the timely arrival of Jim frustrated this plan. So Braine was forced to rely on the chauffeur of the limousine.
As Farrar's last thrilling note died away Braine and Olga rose.
"Be careful. And come to the apartments just as soon as you can."
"I'll be careful," Braine declared easily. "You can watch the play if you wish."
When Servan entered the limousine he was quietly but forcibly seized by two men who had been lying in wait for him, due to the apparent treachery of the chauffeur. Servan fought valiantly, for all that he knew what the end of this exploit was going to be. One of the men succeeded in getting the documents from Servan's pocket.
"Done, my boy!" cried the victor. "Give him a crack on the coco and we'll beat it."
"Just a minute, gentlemen!" said a voice from the seat at the side of the chauffeur. "I'll take those papers!" And the owner of the voice, backed by a cold, sinister-looking automatic, reached in and confiscated the spoils of war. "And I shouldn't make any attempt to slip out by the side door."
"Thanks, my friend," said Servan, shaking himself free from his captors.
