 had eaten something which had dis agreed with her and she felt a very bad pain.
 The keeper gave her some medicine in her food and before long she felt quite we'll again. 'It is so horrid to be sick" she thought to herself. And if | any one creature could have heard that l thought I am sure they would have agreed with her.
 She was so thankful to the keeper for making her we'll but To aud behold only the day after she was cured, MT. Deer was really very uncomfortable.
 "You must have eaten the same thing I did" said Mother Deer. Tt was something that was thrown in my yard"
 "Yes, and perhaps it took me longer to get sick than it did you," said MT. Deer.
 ''Too bad you're not all over it now as am," said Mother Deer.
 "It hurts me so to get down on my knees which I do now when it's time to eat. And it's most uncomfortable for me to walk"
 "Now," said the keeper, "this deer is really much more poorly than Mrs. Doe was. It will take him long time to get all well for his hoofs have become very much infected"
 By that the keeper meant that some thing had gone into the hoofs which had poisoned them a little. "It's per fectly natural" continued the keeper, "for the wart hog to kneel when he eats, but it's too bad when deer does it because it's so painful.
 'I shall have to look after you, poor MT. Deer"
 So the keeper examined the deer and found that his joints were swollen and his hOofs in quite a bad condition. He had been feeling badly for some time. but he had been a brave animal and had made no fuss about it.
 He had really been feeling pain when Mrs Doe was i'll, but he wanted to have her receive all the attention. Mrs. Doe certainly wouldn't have talk ed about herself so much if she had known MT. Deer was suffering so much more.
 So every day the keeper dressed MT. Deer's feet with good clean gauge and some nice soothing ointment. He had to limp about with his bandaged hoofs for several weeks, but after a time he began to grow better.
 "You've had bad time of it in deed," said the keeper, on the last day he considered MT. Deer needed to wear his bandages. "And you've been a good patient deer"
 MT. Deer knew from the keepers voice that he was pleased, and it made MT. Deer very happy. For he was grateful indeed to the kind keeper who had made him we'll and who had been so good to him and so gentle with his poor sore feet.
 And MT. Deer licked the keepers hands and his great big brown eyes looked straight into the keepers. and said,
 "Thank you, dear keeper, thank you"

yet, and I am not sure that I should be happy in London or Paris. They rather frighten me-"
 She was not sure that she loved him! That came rather in the nature of shock to the Hon. Morison's van ity. It seemed incredible that this nt- tie barbarian should have any doubt whatever as to the desirability of the Hon. Morrison Baynes.
 He glanced down at the girls pro- file. It was bathed in the silvery light of the great tropic moon. She was most alluring.
 Meriem rose. The vision of Korak was still before her.
 "Good night,"' she said. 'It is almost too beautiful to leave" She waved her hand in a comprehensive gesture which took in the starry heavens, the great moon, the broad, silvered plain and the dense shadows in the distance that marked the jungle. '"Oh, how love ii" lt.
 You would love London more," he said earnestly. "And London would love you. You would be a famous beauty in any capital of Europe. You would have the world at your feet, Meriem."
 Good night" she repeated, and left him. .

[ ed large and wonderful and magnifi- cent in her minds eye. He fascinated her, and when he drew closer to her after short silence and took her hand she thrilled as one might thrill beneath the touch of a deity-a thrill of exalta- tion not unmixed with fear.
 He bent his lips close to her ear.
 "Meriem!" he whispered. My little Meriem! May hope to have the right to call you my little Meriem?'"
 The girl turned wide eyes upward to his face. but it was in shadow. She trembled, but she did not draw away. The man put an arm about her and drew her closer. -"
 'I love youY he whispered.
 She did not reply. She did not know what to say. She knew nothing of love. She had never given 1t a thought. But she did know that 1t was very nice to be loved, whatever it meant. It was nice to have people kind to one. She had known so little of kind ness or affection.
 'Tell me-" he said, ''that you return my love-"
 His lips came steadily closer to hers. They had almost touched when vision of Korak sprang like a miracle before her eyes. She saw Korak's face close to hers, she felt his lips against her lips, and then for the first time she guessed what love meant.
 She drew away gently.
 "I am not sure," she said, ''that love you. Let us wait. There is plen- ty of time. I am too young to marry

Floyd Dell, considered by the gov

which was accused of attacking ths
government in general and the selec-
tive draft in particular, will be missing
when the other defendants Of "The
Masses" are again tried in the Federal
court, charged with conspiring to OBJ
struct recruiting.
For Dell, waving exemption, is now
at Camp Wadsworth, dressed in khaki,
a soldier of Uncle Sam. He left with
other drafted men on Thursday. When
within a few days of being thirty-one
years old. he registered in the military
enrolment on June s, 1917. Dell elaine d

He was then managing editor of "The
Masses" Subsequently, last year, arti-
cles and cartoons that appeared In
"The Masses" resulted in the indct-
ment of Eastman, Dell, John Reed, Art
Young and A. J. Glintenkamp. The jury
disagreed when given the case.
Assistant United States Attorney
Barnes, in charge of "The Masses" case,
said last night that Dell's being a sol
der would not prevent his appearing at
the second trial. He admitted that the
appearance of one of the defendants
in soldiers uniform might weaken the

Ousted From Army for
Drawing Color Line

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June 2s.-By
virtue of telegraphic communication
from the War Department received at
headquarters at Camp Pike to-day,
Captain Eugene c. Rowan, late of the
162d Depot Brigade, was dismissed
from the service and Lieutenant Robert
H. Hall was dismissed and given a
sentence of twenty-five years hard
labor at the military prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan.
Captain Rowan's case attracted much
attention because it was the first time
the color line figured in q National
Army court. Captain Rowan was
charged with having refused to obey
an order issued by the brigade COM
mander, calling for a troop formation
because it was asserted both negro
and white soldiers were included in
the formation. The officer is a native
Of Georgia.
Lieutenant Hall deserted his organi-
zation late in February. Several days
after his desertion a check-up of the
mess fund revealed shortages amount
ing to about $1,000. He was arrested
in San Francisco. Hall is a native of
Brooklyn.
