Lydia returned from trip to Geor-
eia with her mother, and she was
married.
Lew Colburn was tall and handsome
and very gay. 1t was easy to under
stand his success in sweeping Lydia
off her feet. He was so different, so
much the personality that had never
been a part of her own. You could
read his success in Lydia's eyes, in
the glow that had come to her ey-
preston, in the laughter which had
never been part of her disposition.
DR.. Elridge was glad in the months
that followed that he was blessed
with that shy reserve which was part
of his own personality. He could re-
main quiet, and no one would wonder
at it. He could suffer, and no cne
would guess at his misery.
Gradually, as the months passed, he
recovered somewhat He had sue

Kevln didn't hear about the trag-

in record time. Mrs. Pearson was
there, dry-eyed, brave In her mis-

Before he left the house Kevin
saw Lew Colburn, slumped in chair
outside on the terrace, bottle and
glass at his hand, haggard, miser-
able look on his face. Kevin didn't
speak to the other man but went out
and home.
1t was toward evening of the next
day when kevin came back to tie
house. With him was thin, sharp

over to help arrange for the funeral.

I'm sorry to have to do this, Mrs.
Pearson, but after all it's necessary"

Kevin looked at her in surprise.
why, I thought of course you knew.
Lydia didn't have a stroke. She was
murdered"
Kevin turned suddenly, grim, cold,
accusing. Whats more. her hus-
band poisoned her!"
I EW might have managed to act 1t
through, but you could see the
accusation came as shock. And
when the thin-faced man producer a
pair Of handouts, guilt was written in
his face. He had been drinking
heavily, and the thing was on his
mind.
Kevin explained it all to Mrs. Pear
son in easy stages.
He waited, of course, until he
thought Id left on my vacation. He
didn't want me called in. The poison
he used left scarcely any effects, and
good DR.. Graves could easily mistake
the cause of death. Besides Colburn
did mention to him that Lydia had
complained of pains about her heart
You understand, as Lydia's hus-
band he would inherit her entire
fortune, and that's what he wanted
The man had a mania for money. I

"Oh, yes, and you know how close
friends Lydia and I we're. She came
to me week ago. She was going to
have baby. I gave her a complete

was perfect, No sign of trouble. You

Ethiopian Tribesmen.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 25.-The
Herald Tribune. in copyright dis
patch from London. said today it was
learned from an unimpeachable source
that the entire Italian garrison and
Italian civfl population of the north
ern Ethiopian town of Makale, has
been massacred by tribesmen."
Makale was the scene of heavy
fighting in the Ethiopian campaign
and was captured by Italians on No
vember 8. 1885.
The Makale slaughter" the Her
aid Tribune dispatch says. may part
ly explain the strange step Of Italy
in offering the democratic powers
something for nothing; that is to
say, the stoppage Of Italian reinforce
ments to Spain.
The conciliatory tone of Rome at
present suggests that, above all. the
government wishes to gain recognition
Of its conquest, and that very soon,
before things get any worse in Africa.
mo details of the Makale mas
sacre are known. 1t is so recent that
even the Ethiopian legation in Lon
don had not heard of it. The only
advice is that the Italian garrison
there has been annihilated, along
with all Italian civilians.
Recent reports from Ethiopia have
indicated that the tribesmen. deeply
resentful at the invasion of their coun-
try by Italy and its annexation last
year. have been increasing their re-

LIABILITY FOR FUND
is $174,244000
This Amount Due From Govern
ment for Retirement Total.
Balance Now $500 900 900.

The accrued liability of the Govern
ment in the Federal retirement fund
was in excess of $1,174,2 1000 on
June 30. 1885. according to the annual
report of the Board of Actuaries, sub
mitted 20 Congress by the Civil Service
Commission.
Failure of Congress to appropriate
anything toward the fund for the first
eight years of it's existence, 1920-28, Is
responsible for the showing.
Since then Congress has successfully
raised annual payments from around
81 ,2l .000.0 to the $4,000, 900 carried
in the current budget.
The board estimates it would require
payments of $5l,0o0,000 annually for
SO years to make the fund "actuarily
sound"
AS of June 30 the balance in the re-
tirement fund was just under $780,
