"The Marseilles train! So Loupart has left Paris!"
Then he called a messenger.
"Go and get me a first-class ticket to Marseilles. Here is money. Is there a telegraph office near at hand?"
"On the arrival platform, sir."
"Right. I will give you a message to take; go and hurry back."
Fandor took out his note-book and scrawled a message:
"Juve, Prefecture of Police, Room 44.
"Have met Josephine and followed her. She is off first class, by Marseilles train. Don't know her destination. Will wire you as soon as there's anything fresh.
"Fandor."
