“Engagement between Russian and Tartar troops.”

The reading was in a distinct voice, so that Michael heard all that the English correspondent was sending to his paper.

“Russian troops repulsed with great loss. Tartars entered Kolyvan to-day.”

These words ended the despatch.

“My turn now,” cried Alcide Jolivet, anxious to send off his despatch, addressed to his cousin in the Faubourg Montmartre.

But that was not Blount’s idea, who did not intend to give up the wicket, but have it in his power to send off the news just as the events occurred. He would therefore not make way for his companion.

“But you have finished!” exclaimed Jolivet

“I have not finished,” returned Harry Blount, quietly.

And he proceeded to write some sentences, which he handed in to the clerk, who read out in his calm voice—

“John Gilpin was a citizen

Of credit and renown;

A train-band captain eke was he

Of famous London town.”
