Artful dodge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruse

'artful dodge' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(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.
