1916 · 37 pages

This issue of *Work and Win* (No. 892, January 7, 1916) contains "Defying the Sultan" by Hal Standish, the opening chapter of a serial following Fred Fearnot and his party. After expulsion from Russia—orchestrated by the Frenchman M. Druyn—Fearnot decides to extend his European travels, visiting Constantinople and Turkey with companions including Terry, Dick Duncan, and the Livingstons. In Berlin, Fearnot encounters Druyn at his hotel and challenges him to a duel. Using sabers in a German dueling ground outside the city, Fearnot swiftly severs both of Druyn's ears in successive rounds, marking him as punishment for his role in their expulsion, before sparing his life for future reckoning by Terry and Dick. The narrative blends travel adventure with martial honor culture and international intrigue.
