Then she turned and disappeared in
the deep cleft between the gigantic
bowlder upon which she had been sit
ting and another-small only by COM
parison. There, ten feet down. in q
narrow alley Uttered with ragged
stones, lay the crumpled body of a
man. 1t lay with the left arm doubled
under It, and from q cash In the fore
head trickled a thin stream of blood.
Also. 1t was the body Of such a man
as she had not seen before.
Although from the man came low

was not such a sound as comes from
fully conscious lips. but rather that
OF brain dulled into coma.
Freed from her lettering excess of
shyness by his condition. the girl
stepped surely from foothold to foot
hold until she reached his side. She
stood for a moment with one hand on
the dripping walls of rock, looking
down while her hair fell about her
face. Then, dropping to her knees,
she shifted the doubled body into a
leaning posture, Strengthened the
limbs. and began exploring with efi-
cient fingers for broken bones.
She had found the left arm limp
above the wrist. and her fingers had
diagnosed a broken bone. But uncon-
seriousness must have come from the
blow on the head. where bruise was
already blackening. and cash still
trickled blood.
She lifted her skirt and tore a long
strip of cotton from her single petit
coat. Then she picked her bare-footed
way swiftly to the creek bed, where
she drenched the cloth for bathing and
bandaging the wound. When she had
done what she could by way of first
aid she sat supporting the mans
shoulders and shook her head dubi-
ously.
Finally the mans lids fiuttered and
eyes.
"Hello!" said the stranger, vaguely.

his lips smiled. II was friendly, un-

"Yes, of course" The man suddenly
realized that although he was quite
comfortable as he was he could
scarcely expect to remain permanently
in the support OF her bent arm. He
attempted to prop himself on his hurt
hand and relaxed with twinge of ex-
treme pain. The color, which had be-
gun to creep back into his cheeks, left
them again, and his lips compressed
themselves tightly to bite off an ex-
clamation of suffering.
"Thet air left arm air busted" an

elderly people who have suffered for

For q number Of years the well.
known A-shaped Lovejoy por.Able
house has been largely In use at the
Maryland Experiment Station. This
type Of house. has not been found al.
together satisfactory since the earth
yard attached TO the house became too
quickly an unhealthy mire or wallow,
especially In muddy weather, a condi-
ton far from comfortable to even a
hog. In addition the hogs were con.
tinually breaking down the wire fenc.
ing. enclosing the yard, making condi-
tons more unsatisfactory.
To do away with these troubles the
Experiment StaUon recently built a
new hog house largely OF cement con-
struction which viii care for fifty
shoats or to 10 brood sows and 10
dry sows or shoats. The building is
80 feet long. which includes feed
room and a manure pit at opposite
ends. There are eight pens In all,
ak OF which are by g. built to &C.
commodate brood SOW or if neces-
sary two. The remaining two pens
are 9 by 10 feet and are used as fatten.
ing pens or for dry sows.
