Artful dodge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruse

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">artful dodge</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ruse that I've seen before include "Ploy, artifice" , "Cunning plan" , "Sue to be a ploy" , "Plan intended to deceive" , "Sure its a strange deception" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Newsday.
