grip. l gasped and sat down sud
denly.
You must not do that" the girl
insisted. I noticed now that she kept
her back to the wreck, her eyes avert
cd. "The weight of the travelling bag
must be agony. let me support the
valise until we can get it cut off,"
will 1t have to be cut Off"
asked as calmly as possible. There
were red-hot stabs Of agony clear to
my neck, but we were moving slowly
away from the track.
YES" she replied, with dumfound-
ing GOODNESS. IF 1 had a knife I
could do 1t myself. You might sit
here and lean against this fence"
By that time my returning faculties
had realized that she was going to cut
off the satchel, not the arm. The dir
ziness was leaving and was gradual
ly becoming myself.
IF you pull, it might come" I sug-
gested. "And with that weight gone,
l think will cease to be five feet
eleven inches Of baby"

die, but it would not move, and at last,
with great drops of cold Precipitation
over me, had to give up.
I'm afraid l can't stand It," said.
But there's a knife somewhere around
these clothes, and II can find 1t, per-
haps you can cut the leather"
AS I gave her the knife she turned
It over, examining it with peculiar
expression, bewilderment rather than
surprise. But she said nothing. She
set to work deity, and in few min
utes the bag dropped free.
That's better" I declared, sitting
up. Now, if you can pin my sleeve
to my coat, 1t will support the arm
so we can get away from here"
"The pin might give" she objected,
land the jerk would be terrible" She
looked around, puzzled; then she got
up, coming back in a minute with a
draggled, partly scorched sheet. This
she tore into large square, and after
she had folded it, she slipped it under
the broken arm and tied it securely
at the back of my neck
The relief was immediate, and, pick
ing up the sealskin bag, l walked SLOW
ly beside her, away from the track.
The first act was over; the curtain
fallen. The scene was Struck"
