NEW YORK, Jan. IA dispatch to

A dispatoh from Massowah says that
the Italians have retired from Adowt

were In very difficult position. He
thinks that the report that the Abys-
sinians want food 10 not true. KING
Menelik collects q percentage OF tho
corn grown which he sells In time OF
peace but has not sold for three years,
having hoardsd II for this war.
Retreat will mske an immense
difference In the attitude Of the doubt
iul tribes. As for King Cejam being
m enemy OF King Menelik, that IL un-
true, M. Leopetitf says. The Italians
have now retreated 800 Kilometres, and
II will take 100000 men TO beat the
Abyssinisns. The opinion here IL
that the Abyssinian question Ia going

Mortimer swept the norther hori-
zon with his binoculars.

By-by. The two men crawled under

But it would not be safe to bathe for
some hours to come. The air shim-
mered and vibrated over the baking
stretch of sand and rock. There was
not a breath of wind. and the drOninS
and piping of the insects inclined one
for sleep. Somewhere above hoopoe
was calling. Anerley knocked out his
ashes and was turning toward his
couch. when his eye caught something
moving in the desert to the south.
1t was horseman riding towards
them as swiftly as the broken ground
would permit. A messenger from the
army. thought Anerley; and then as
he watched. the sun suddenly struck
the man on the side of his head. and his
chin famed into gold. There could not
be two horsemen with boards of such Il
color. Ii was Merryw athpr the en-
gineer, and he was returning. What ON
earth was he returning for? He had
been so keen to see the general, and yet
he was coming back with his mission
unaccomplished. Was il that his pony
was hopelessly fOudered? 1t seemed
to bc moving well. Anerley picked up
Mortimer's binoculars, and "a foam
spattered horse and a weary kOOrhash-
cracking man came cantering up the
center of the field. There was moth
ing in his appearance to explain the
mystery of his return.
Then as he watched them they
dipped down into q hollow and disap-
peared. He could see that it was one of
those narrow khors which led to the
river. and he waited. glass in hand, for
their immediate reaDpearance. But
minute passed after minute, and there
was no sign of them. That narrow gull
ly appeared to have swallowed them
up. And then with curious gulp and
start he saw little gray cloud wreathe
itself slowly from among the rocks and
drift in a long. haZy shred over the des-
ert. In an instant he had torn Scott
and Mortimer from their slumbers.
Get up, you Chaps!" he cried. 'I
believe Merryweather has been shot by
dervishes"

objection to your reading 1t. You may
be sure that l would not show 1t to you

Anerley took up the slip of paper and
read:

ney confer general stop nature difficult
ties later stop rumors dervishes."
This is very condensed" said Amer
ley, with wrinkled brOws.

"HOw?"

works out somewhat on these lines:
"'Mr. Charles H. Merryweather, the
