This issue of *Work and Win* (No. 64, February 23, 1900) contains the serialized story "Fred Fearnot in Johannesburg; or, The Terrible Ride to Kimberley" by Hal Standish. The adventure narrative follows Fred Fearnot and his companion Terry Olcott, leading a two-hundred-man cavalry command of youths fighting for the Boers against British forces in South Africa. Their unit has been capturing gold and diamonds to fund operations. When Malcolm Andrew's daughter appeals to Fred to recover fifty thousand dollars of her father's gold dust seized by English mine managers fleeing toward Kimberley, Fred promises assistance. Disguised in male attire, she joins the pursuit alongside Fred, Terry, American speculator Norton, and Australian Lieutenant Prather. The party begins a grueling nighttime ride southward, maintaining steady pace to preserve their horses while tracking the thieves. The chapter details their journey through the African landscape and establishes camaraderie between the protagonists through character banter and reflection on American values regarding women.
