LIST NOT ANNOUNCED.
Washington County Exemption Board Is
Not Ready.

When the local board of exemption
was about ready to-day to give out the
list of names of men called by the draft
to go TO Camp Devens April 2, it was
found that one of the men had mailed
an affidavit supporting a claim for ex-
emption, so that the board had to inves-
tigate the case, with the result that it
was impossible to give out the list of
names to-day. The board at its meeting
earlier in the day exempted one of the
men who had been called, the evidence
that he is engaged in farm labor being
sufficient, so that he could not be called
for service, at least at this time, and
Iew man was called in his place

cast his lot with the jungle ape. The
killing Of the crook In the coast Inn
had filled his childish mind with terror
OF the law and driven him deeper into
the wilds. The rebuffs that he had met
with at the hands of men, both black
and white. had had their effect upon
his mind while it was yet in the forma-
tive state and easily Influenced.
Meriem was not for him-not for the
savage ape. No. she was not for him,
but he still was hers. If he could not
have her and happiness, he would at
least do all that lay in his power to
assure happiness to her. He would fol-
low the young Englishman. In the first
place, he would know that he meant
Meriem no harm and after that, though
jealousy wrenched his heart, he would
watch over the man Meriem loved for
Meriem's sake.
And so 1t came that few minutes
after the Hon. Morrison Baynes entered

noon, and still the young Englishman
made no move to leave camp. Korak
wondered If Merlem were coming there.

black boys rode out Of camp. Korak
merely noted the fact. He was NOT
particularly interested in the doings OF
any other member of the company than
the young Englishman.

riem was positive that all were gone
she descended from her hiding place
and ran quickly across the clearing to
.Malbihn's tent. A hasty survey Of the
interior revealed no ammunition, but
In one corner was box in which were
packed the Swede's personal belong
ings that he had sent along by his
head man to this westerly camp.
Meriem seized upon the receptacle
as the possible container of extra am
munition. Quickly she loosed the CORDS
that held the canvas covering about
the box and q, moment later had raised
the lid and was rummaging through
the heterogeneous accumulation OF,
odds and ends within.

cuttings from old newspapers, and
among other things the photograph Of
little girl upon the back Of which
was pasted a clipping from a Paris

to read, yellowed and dimmed by age
and handling. But something about
the photograph Of the little girl which
| was also reproduced in the newspaper
clipping held her attention.
Where had she seen that picture be-

came to- her that this was a picture
