"a Condensed Chapter" reprints a
chapter from Stanley's Through the
Dark Continent" relating the story of
the fight. This is the first of a series of
extracts which the Round Table is pub
fishing from important works of travel
which, by reason Of their expense, are
beyond the reach of good many read
ers. Following Stanley's account is
printed that one of the chiefs who was
engaged upon the opposite side. He
told it to the Belgian, Captain Coquilhat,
who put it into his book, "Le Haul
Congo" from which it has been trans
lated for the Round Table by Mr. Cyrus
G. Adams. The two versions side by
side make very interesting reading.

this stage-and nothing else! There is
money in many of them. I've seen the
messengers receipt book. There Is q
diamond ring and a couple Of diamond
pins for the lieutenants, and if | live
half an hour they will get them presents.
Boys! you are st your wits ends,
know, but you were honest men until no

"Connor." Jim Gwynne ssid, and his
voice sounded youthful and piteous.
This is our last chance. We haven't
eaten q square meal in a week. These
fur coats we stand up in are pledged for

ly-"
Not penny! But, see here"-ConneE-
leaned forward eagerly-"you folloS me

Zenith City can spread. I'll swear yea
, shall not stsrve on Christmas day-and
I'll drive you back TO Bismarck next trip,
where, il our company don't offer you
we'll paid work, you can shoot me for &
damned liar"
He held out huge, fur-gloved hand on
either side. "Shake on that he cried
cheerfully.
Half an hour later the rsbble gathered
in unusual numbers at Zenith City, to
witness the unloading of the stage, which
had brought the Christmas mails. Nor
ris, the messenger, sleepily emerged
from within its huge bulk, when Conner
called him.
81 had a sort of nightmare awhile
ago" be exclaimed with laugh, as Con-
nor beat himself about the chest to re-
8 ore circulation. II thought the stage
stopped, and that you were talking of
shooting! But knew it was a dream, so
L went to sleep G aim
"Best you could have DONE Conner
agreed. "Here, Jim Gwynne," he added
TO tall fellow who lOunged near, "lend
a hand, will you? There comes the gen.
erals orderly from Fletcher for them
Christmas gifts.''.

! Common continued slowly: well, I'm
a dead shot at longer range than most
chaps, and, though you have the drop
on me when 1 first saw you, Jim
Gwynne."
I'm not" broke forth hoarse,
astonished voice.
COB, yes, yes are-little boys shouldn't
tell fibs,'' Conner asserted. But you
dan't want to shoot me no more than
banker to put a hole through you-or
the job would be done by now
That's so!' came in chorus from
either side the road.
But we mean business one added,
and the other exclaimed -
Starving men don't count costs, and
we intend to have your load"
| "There are two ways of look,ng at
this matter. Hear miRe," Conner be-
gan authoritatively. "Aud speak lower
when you answer, for my express mes
senger is asleep inside, and he might
take things less pescesble than l, if he
wakes"
Again there was a sound of laughter,
and this time it came from both figures,
though their pistols yet covered the
stage driver.
You are queer lott" the taller fel.
low said.
1--WE heard the same BEFORE" Connor
agreed.
"Being queer, boys, you will not be
SO surprised if ask you to listen to
Christmas sermon?"
Quit fooliDg."
'It's too damned cold for joking"
"You will hear my sermon, or I'll
chance shot from each of you, while
1 get my gun into play" Common de-
clared with curious CONTINGENCIES.
"Silence gives consent, Ell? Well, |

"Three or four miles away there are
two camps full of hard-worked, lifted,
half frozen men. In one camp they are
mostly ruughs, like you and me, or
worse. In the other are soldiers who
live clean because they must, and pack
of officers who grin and bear it, 1 guess,
for the same reason. There amt much
resemblance between the disorder in
Zenith City and the order at Fort
Fletcher, but they are alike in cold and
hunger. Yes, sir, and in one thing
more! They both remember a lesson
they learned when they were kids, that
