“If he is as clever as you say he is, Amos, he must be handled with gloves,” added the woman. “Vic ought to be warned of his visit, and of what his business consists, so that she may be ready for him, and head him off from any suspicion.”

“You must tell her just what we have done, and why we did it.”
“Tell her that we held him up this morning?”
“Yes, certainly; also that we got away with his watch and money.”
“Why tell her all that?”
“So she may know just how to handle him,” declared Claudia, with knit brows. “Vic is clever, all right, but she may queer us in some way when pitted against Nick Carter’s cleverness, unless she knows just what his game is, and what has happened out here.”
