women to look at, and d6sinthe irdppe
to drink. Dieu! Why do you speak
always of thatT
Schwencker did not reply at once to
Durand's peevish rebuke. "Or in Ber-
lin," he mused audibly, "in a pleasant
bierkeller, with music playing and
breeze In the branches overhead. Ach,
Gott, that boundary commission."
The commission had passed through
Bondoukou six months ago-a German
lieutenant, French lieutenant, and
three civilian engineers, German,
French and English, with an escort of
two hundred native tirdAlcurs, choppers
and chainmen. For two days they had
paused there, during which time Bon
doukou was become as the Field Of
the Cloth of Gold The commissioners
brought whisky with them, and cognac,
and kummel, and the illustrated papers
of the Latin and the Goth. For two
days Schwencker and Durand had rev.
eled each In his native language. II
was a talk-fest, an orgy Of language
in which the pink-and-yellow English
man alone showed moderation. Then
the commission had cut its way into
the jungle again, leaving two Tapping
flags behind 1.-THE blue, white and red
Of France over Durand's mud shack,
and the black, white aud red Of Ger
many over Schwencker's. But which
had the better right there? Was Bon-
doukou French or German2 Was 1t
in the domain of Dahomey, and thus
an appanage of the Third RepublicY
Or was it In Togo territory, and thus
city Of the empire?
Lieutenant Delafosse had privately
informed Durand that the place was
French. To Schwencker's agitated
query Lieutenant Hufnagel had whis-
pered an unmistakable "Hoch der Kai-
ser !" Durand and Schwencker had
each kept his secret to himself for
week after the commission left. Then
the truth seeped into the open. Some
one had lied.
Durand was cynical about It. He
was q dark little Frenchman who had
