I see. Miss Brixton has entered his car
alone. What's that? His chauffeur has started the car without
waiting for the Count, who is coming down the platform?"
Instantly Kennedy was on his feet. He was dashing up the corridor
and the stairs from the den and down into the basement to the
little storeroom.
We burst into the place. It was empty. Janeff had cut the wires
and fled. There was not a moment to lose. Craig hastily made sure
that he had not discovered or injured the phantom circuit.
"Call the fastest car you have in your garage, Mr. Brixton,"
ordered Kennedy. "Hello, hello, central! Get the lodge at the
Brixton estate. Tell them if they see the engineer Janeff going
out to stop him. Alarm the watchman and have the dogs ready. Catch
him at any cost, dead, or alive."
A moment later Brixton's car raced around, and we piled in and
were off like a whirlwind. Already we could see lights moving
about and hear the baying of dogs. Personally, I wouldn't have
given much for Janeff's chances of escape.
