Both the criminals started angrily, but they gritted their teeth and looked at the man, who added:
“He’s just as alive as I am. Less than an hour ago he brought Hank Low in on a charge of murder.”
“Then,” exclaimed Jack; “it’s all right, ain’t it?”
“No! it isn’t all right. Carter believes that Low is innocent, and he has arrested him for a bluff. He knows that you did it.”
Jack turned ghastly pale.
Nat looked as if he didn’t believe it.
“He can’t have any evidence against us,” said he.
“He’ll get it. You know Nick Carter.”
“But how can he get it? Nobody saw us.”
