It was as Polwin stated. Sir Hannibal Trevick had disappeared.
The detectives travelling by the night train had gone to Miss Quinton's place to arrest him, and found that he had departed bag and baggage on the previous night. On making inquiries it was learned from the butler that the baronet had intended to go to the Guelph Hotel, thinking that he would be less restrained in his movements there than in his sister-in-law's somewhat prim house. But the Guelph Hotel people had seen nothing of Sir Hannibal from the time he had stopped there with his daughter.
