the circumstances this station was abandoned; but even if it was, Michael could take refuge there,Buty Jordan Retro 7, and wait till nightfall,Canada Goose Brookvale Hoody, if necessary, to again set out across the steppe covered with Tartar scouts.
He ran up to the door and pushed it open.
A single person was in the room whence the telegraphic messages were dispatched. This was a clerk, calm, phlegmatic, indifferent to all that was passing outside. Faithful to his post, he waited behind his little wicket until the public claimed his services.
Michael ran up to him, and in a voice broken by fatigue, “What do you know?” he asked.
“Nothing,” answered the clerk, smiling.
“Are the Russians and Tartars engaged?”
“They say so.”
“But who are the victors,Sendai Vegalta Drakt?”
“I don’t know.”
Such calmness,Parajumpers Männer Hermann Jacken Schweiz, such indifference, in the midst of these terrible events, was scarcely credible.
“And is not the wire cut?” said Michael.
“It is cut between Kolyvan and Krasnoiarsk, but it is still working between Kolyvan and the Russian frontier.”
“For the government,Paris Saint-Germain Drakt?”
“For the government, when it thinks proper. For the public,Parajumpers Männer Maine Eco Jacken Schweiz, when they pay. Ten copecks a word, whenever you like, sir!”
Michael was about to reply to this strange clerk that he had no message to send, that he only implored a little bread and water, when the door of the house was again thrown open.
Thinking that it was invaded by Tartars,Classic Cardy Czyścibut 5819, Michael made ready to leap out of the window,Canada Goose Lodge Down Hoody Bunda, when two men only entered the room who had nothing of the Tartar soldier about them.

They were the two reporters, Harry Blount and Alcide Jolivet, no longer traveling companions, but rivals,Landslagsdrakt 17/18, enemies, now that they were working on the field of battle.
They had left Ichim only a few hours after the departure of Michael Strogoff, and they had arrived at Kolyvan before him, by following the same road, in consequence of his losing three days on the banks of the Irtych. And now, after being both present at the engagement between the Russians and Tartars before the town, they had left just as the struggle broke out in the streets, and ran to the telegraph office, so as to send off their rival dispatches to Europe, and forestall each other in their report of events.
Michael stood aside in the shadow, and without being seen himself he could see and hear all that was going on. He would now hear interesting news, and would find out whether or not he could enter Kolyvan.
Blount, having distanced his companion,Southampon Drakt, took possession of the wicket,CG Menn Chilliwack Bomber, whilst Alcide Jolivet, contrary to his usual habit, stamped with impatience.
“Ten copecks a word,” said the clerk.
Blount deposited a pile of roubles on the shelf, whilst his rival looked on with a sort of stupefaction.
“Good,” said the clerk. And
