The shock. together with the lodgment of flying particles Of powder, had the ef- feet of driving the blood back from the wound. during which fragment of time the Injured man calmly examined his mangled hand. but when the blood did come back lt came with n rush and fairly bubbled out In torrent. The mans calmncss left him as if by magic at the sight of the blood. and, with a loud scream. he keeled over in a dead faint.
