They had passed out of the Oliver Optic, Harry Castlemon, James Otis era. Joel Wixon read for excitement; Luke Mellows for information as to the machinery of authorship. Young as they were, they went to the theatre to the op'ra house, which never housed opera. Joel went often and without price, since his father, being an editor, had the glorious prerogative of "comps."
The affair was all but over and leaping to its culmination when Collins arrived. Castlemon was just being dragged out, and as Collins ran he could see the two men drop him to the ground so that they might slam the cage-door shut. Inside, in so wildly struggling a tangle on the floor that it was difficult to discern what animals composed it, were Alphonso, Jack, and Michael looked together.

Although Michael proved a success with the leopards, Raoul Castlemon never bought him from Collins. One morning, several days later, the arena was vexed by uproar and commotion from the animal cages.

This time he went straight at the man, fetching up against the cage-bars with such fierceness as to shake the structure. More men began thrusting with more rods, but Alphonso was not to be balked. Sara saw him coming and screamed her shrillest and savagest at him. Collins snatched a revolver from one of the men. "Don't kill him!" Castlemon cried, seizing Collins's arm.
