When Nick reached the phone he found Chick at the other end.
“I have the baggageman under arrest,” said the assistant.
“What does he say?”
“He says that he did not know what the box contained.”
“That may be true. Have you found out whether the diamonds are really in the vault?” asked Nick.
“It is impossible to locate the manager to-night,” was the reply. “How are things at your end?”
“Everything lovely,” was the reply. “Come out on the first train.”
When Nick went back to the parlor he handed Charley the key to the safety box in the Broadway vaults.
“The baggageman is under arrest in New York,” explained Nick. “Perhaps you had better go down on an early train and see if the diamonds are all right. He claims that he did not know what was in the box.”
