"My dear brother, I was on that woman's track when she accosted you. I am on to their whole scheme, for I have been at work."
Oscar stared and then said slowly:
"I am to meet her to-night."
"Certainly, you will meet her, but when you do will you know her game? She is the beautiful siren who is to lure Ulysses into the den where he is to be slain with merciless precision and cold-blooded exactness."
Again Oscar stared, but seeing the glitter in Cad's eyes he fell to a conclusion and asked:
"Is my beautiful partner jealous?"
"Yes, I am jealous for your life. I do not wish to see you beguiled and imperiled by that woman."
"Cad, you speak like one who knows what she is talking about."
"I do."
"Have you information?"
