ur fortunate fate to travel together, if only for a few days?”
“Do you go on to Omsk?” asked Michael,Classic Czyścibut 5229, after a moment’s reflection.
“We know nothing as yet,” replied Alcide; “but we shall certainly go as far as Ishim, and once there,Landslagsdrakt 17/18, our movements must depend on circumstances.”
“Well then,Spartak Moscow Drakt, gentlemen,” said Michael,Moncler Torcyn, “we will be fellow-travelers as far as Ishim.”
Michael would certainly have preferred to travel alone,Moncler Naiset 2017, but he could not, without appearing at least singular, seek to separate himself from the two reporters, who were taking the same road that he was. Besides,Parajumpers Muži Perfect, since Alcide and his companion intended to make some stay at Ishim, he thought it rather convenient than otherwise to make that part of the journey in their company.
Then in an indifferent tone he asked, “Do you know, with any certainty, where this Tartar invasion is?”
“Indeed, sir,” replied Alcide, “we only know what they said at Perm. Feofar-Khan’s Tartars have invaded the whole province of Semipolatinsk, and for some days, by forced marches, have been descending the Irtish. You must hurry if you wish to get to Omsk before them.”
“Indeed I must,” replied Michael.
“It is reported also that Colonel Ogareff has succeeded in passing the frontier in disguise, and that he will not be slow in joining the Tartar chief in the revolted country.”
“But how do they know it?” asked Michael, whom this news, more or less true, so directly concerned.

“Ah! you know that, Mr. Jolivet?” said Harry Blount, roused from his silence.
“I knew it,” replied Alcide.
“And do you know that he went disguised as a gypsy!” asked Blount.
“As a gypsy!” exclaimed Michael, almost involuntarily, and he suddenly remembered the look of the old Bohemian at Nijni-Novgorod, his voyage on board the Caucasus, and his disembarking at Kasan.
“Just well enough to make a few remarks on the subject in a letter to my cousin,Coquette Slippers 5125,” replied Alcide,Canada Goose Shelburne Parka, smiling.
“You lost no time at Kasan,” dryly observed the Englishman.
“No, my dear fellow! and while the Caucasus was laying in her supply of fuel,Moncler Lazare, I was employed in obtaining a store of information.”
Michael no longer listened to the repartee which Harry Blount and Alcide exchanged. He was thinking of the gypsy troupe, of the old Tsigane, whose face he had not been able to see, and of the strange woman who accompanied him,Border Waxed Bunda, and then of the peculiar glance which she had cast at him. Suddenly, close by he heard a pistol-shot.
“Ah! forward,Moncler Tulsa, sirs!” cried he.
“Hullo!” said Alcide to himself,Harry Kane Drakt, “this quiet merchant who always avoids bullets is in a great hurry to go where they are flying about just now!”
