Georges Dodds, who maintains the R.U.R.itaninan Muglug web site -- where you'll find a number of electronic texts (including the Talbot Mundy story, "The Soul of a Regiment") -- provides this Mundy story about Kitty Crothers, the first of about half a dozen tales about this character. Many thanks to Georges!
This story, originally appearing in the June 1911 issue of All-Story Magazine, is quite different from the exotic action tales that Mundy wrote for Adventure and Argosy. Still, it has elements of the club story, in which some adventurer or explorer recounts a thrilling tale in the smoking room of a gentlemen's club; and from the escapades Kitty relates, one can see how Mundy drew on his own rascally experiences as a sometime confidence man to lend verisimilitude to his protagonist's tale.
