"Halloo," said Mr. Wiggins. "The box does not belong to you, after all."
"Hold on until I get through explaining things," said Julian.
With this Julian began, and told him of the conversation that had taken place between Jack and the German, not omitting the smallest thing. Mr. Wiggins listened intently, and when the story was done he said,
"Somebody has been posting that man in regard to that box. Now, who have you told about it except Jack Sheldon?"
"I don't know as that has anything to do with it," said Julian, who resolved that he would stand by Casper as long as he could.
"Yes, it has; it has a good deal to do with it. Does Casper Nevins know all about it?"
"What do you know about Casper?" said Julian in surprise. He wondered if there was any boy in the office who could do anything wrong without Mr. Wiggins finding it out.
"Because he has been uneasy for the past week. Does Casper know all about it?"
"Yes, sir, he does. He was there when we read the letter."
"That is all. I will see you again after a while."
