GRASS HACKED DOWN

We saw where the tall, bristly
elephant grass had been hacked
Gown by hundreds of half-naked
Abyssinian tribesman who hac
worked ahead to blaze the trail
for the new motor road.
Our threats were afire with
thirst when we reached river
bed. but il was dry. We were
forced TO dig a deep hole and
sake our thirst with foul water
the color of lentil soup.
After a two-hour rest, our small
body of troops and officers pushed
on in double file through a region
where lions dwell and roam. At
nightfall a brilliant white moon
arose to cast its light over the
black wilderness.
Then we made camp.
The officer in command Of our
party-a Cornishnan, incidentally
-thereupon spoke TO the Ethio-
plan soldiers, saying
- ou- are now-in- enemy ter
ritory. Hcnceforth, you will he
fighting for your emperor and
for your country"
A spokesman for the native SOL
diers declared:
I'VE thank you, oh strong
one. We will heed your words"
Our rations were scarce since
we were travelling light. We dined
quickly, then went TO sleep on the
ground without blankets. We
awakened at dawn TO the roaring
of a lion.
For breakfast we tried to shoot
some fowl. But our revolvers
seemed useless in our hands. The
Ethiopian soldiers demonstrated
their craftsmanship by shooting
down several wild Guinea fowl.
So far we have seen no sign OF
any Italian planes. But if they
come we will be ready for them.
For we have light anti-eiFeraft
guns and the Ethiopian soldiers
have learned how 10 man them.
To them there seems to be little
difference between a "man-bird'
and Guinea fowl.

She was, it appeared, expected
by Henry Treyne to entertain his
ear rather than his eye. For a
while she did not realize this
terrifying predicament. She sat,
entirely serene and silent. beside
him, her long rose-brown hands,
cool on the warm June day. lying
motionless on her colored silk
lap, her eyes gazing at what
horizons they chose to select
from the world without her or
the world within. She was all
brown and rose and amber, from
gold bronze hair to rose brown
feet in ivory-colored sandals.
