Bonnie Doon got the case for us off his local district leader, who's a member of the same lodge of the Abyssinian Mysteries Bonnie's been Supreme Exalted Ruler of the Purple Mountain for over a year and he's pulled in quite a lot of good stuff, not all dog cases either! Appleboy's an Abyssinian too." "I'll see them," consented Mr. Tutt, "but I'm going to have you try the case.
"Yes, Negus," answered the elder. "Then," decreed Menelek, "give your brother first choice!" Over wide territory beyond the Abyssinian border, Menelek's power is as much feared and his will as much respected as among his own subjects. Of this there occurred recently a most dramatic proof. Bordering Abyssinia on the east is the Danakil country.

Khedive Ismail had undoubtedly behaved very badly to Abyssinia, and had treated the Abyssinian envoy with a great want of courtesy. Tewfik, however, was not to blame for this, and he wanted to express his regret at the past and his desire to renew the old friendship between Egypt and Abyssinia.

This Abyssinian house is circular, and has a small, round room in the center, around which the congregation stands and worships, leaning on their staves, for the place is void of seats.
