“I don’t know,” said Chick, “I am only guessing.”
In the meantime, Nick Carter had concealed himself at a point from which he could watch the man he had followed.
Seeing that he was in conversation with some one on the corner, he called Chick and Patsy to him.
“Elwell?” asked Chick, as he came up.
“Yes,” said Nick. “Do you know who he is talking with?”
“Yes,” said Chick. “It is my man Seaman.”
“Seaman?” repeated Nick. “That is strange. They have met here by arrangement.”
“To meet some one else,” said Chick.
“And why are you here, Patsy?” asked Nick.
“I followed my two assistants here,” said Patsy, “from the foot of Thirty-fourth Street.”
