"Is this true?" asked Fred in excitement.
"Yes."
"But how did you find out?"
"One day I followed him. I dodged behind trees and kept out of sight. Once he came near seeing me when he looked back, but I was just in time. By and by he came to the place."
"What sort of a place?"
"Did I say I would tell you?" asked the boy shrewdly.
"No, but I will make it worth your while."
The boy eyed Fred with suspicion, and his manner became cold.
"Do you want to rob him?" he asked.
"No."
