All eyes were now turned on Johnny.

"You see," he smiled, "the pupil of a panther's eye does not contract to a
line in the light as a house cat's does. It contracts to a smaller circle,
just as yours and mine do. Go consult your encyclopedia. Ask any hunter of
big game, or keeper of a zoo, and he'll tell you that I'm right."

The laugh was plainly on Jarvis, and he got it from everyone.

"All the same," he maintained stoutly, "that don't prove that Pant ain't
got a cat's eye, an' you all know 'e 'as or 'e's a devil. 'E can see in
the dark."

There was no disputing this point, and there the argument dropped.

Two months later, having got the haven of refuge well established and
turned over to the management of the Red Cross, Johnny and Mazie were on a
Pacific liner bound for America. Johnny might return at some future time
to the Seven Mines, but for the present he had had quite enough of
Russia.

The gang were all on board. With Dave went two persons--the beautiful
young exiled Russian girl and her mother.

As the steamer lost the last glimpse of land, Johnny drew from his pocket
a wireless message he had received that morning. It read:

"Come over. Get in on something good. Secret Service and a three-ring
circus, Pant."

"Secret Service and a three-ring circus," repeated Johnny. "Sounds pretty
good. Worth looking up. Pant's a queer one. Bet he's found something
different and mysterious. I'll bet on that."

He had. But this story must be told in our next volume.
