"I'll bet you a dollar that one of his eyes is blue and the other black. Come now, Miss Faro."
The man with the goggles moved uneasily and slipped a hand under his coat. Levi watched him warily.
"I'll bet you five dollars that you are wrong," said Faro, angrily.
The man with the goggles rose quickly, and a knife flashed in his hand. Levi warded off the blow, and before it could be repeated Mlle. Faro held his arms by his side.
"Don't stab him, dear, 'cause that would stop the show too long on the road. Just show him your eyes, for I want to win his money."
Before he could free himself her deft fingers had removed the goggles.
"You see I have lost, Miss Faro," Levi said gayly; and then sternly added, "My brothers and I have been looking for you, John Gillfillan."
Hunch had come in, and was sitting on the couch. Blind Benner, leaning against him, was quivering with joy, and uttering low cries of satisfaction. Mlle. Faro heard them, and went to him. When she stood by the bed he was saying:
"Oh, Hunchy, I kin die happy now, 'cause I found Gill. Won't Lizzī be glad ter know it was Blind Benner what found him?"
"What does it all mean?" Faro asked.
