ILLUSTRATIONS The king walked round Fergus as if he were examining a lay figure Two of the newcomers fired hastily--and both missed Not a blow was struck, horse and rider went down before them As the man was placing his supper on the table, Fergus sprang upon him Fergus was received by the count, the countess and Thirza with great pleasure As Fergus was sallying out, a mounted officer dashed by at a gallop The roar of battle was so tremendous that his horse was well-nigh unmanageable Before he could extricate himself, Fergus was surrounded by Austrians "Why, Karl!"

In Business Again. ILLUSTRATIONS Stanley is brought before Bandoola, the Burmese general. Stanley gave a sudden spring, and buried his knife in the leopard. They forced the canoe behind bushes, so as to be entirely concealed. The Burmese make a great effort to capture Pagoda Hill. Stanley cut down the man who was about to fire the hut. The great snake moved his head higher and higher, hissing angrily. In vain the Burmese tried to force their way into the chamber. The old Burmese general was carried from point to point in a litter.
