She had found the left arm limp
above the wrist. and her fingers had
diagnosed broken bone. But uncon-
sciousness must have come from the
blow on the head, where bruise was
already blackening, and a cash still
trickled blood.
She lifted her skirt and tore 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 fluttered and
his lips moved. Then he opened his
eyes.

his lips smiled. 1t was a friendly, un-
derstanding smile, and the girl, fight

shoulders and flee to the kind mask

reassured.

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 a 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.

have been mere matter of course; but
her eyes mirrored a pleased surprise
at the strangers good-natured nod and
his quiet refusal to give expression
to pain. 1t relieved her of the neces-

She had propped him against the
rocks and sat near by, looking into his
face with almost disconcerting steadi-
ness; her solemn-pupiled eyes were
unblinking and unsmiling.

Lowe Votes For Yost Law
Amendments But Doubts
Wisdom of Action.

Especial TO the The West yirginian)
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 27.--
The passage OF ten bills In the house
and the discussion Of the Blue
amendments TO the present prohibl-
tlon laws in the senate featured the
forenoon sessions of the senate and
house. While three votes were cast
against the prohibition amendments,
but two speeches were made against
it. They were by Senators strother,
of Mcdowell, and Gregory of Wood,
and Rosenbloom of Ohio.
The former spoke nearly an hour
but Rosenbloom was much briefer. He
declared the amendment permitting
the selection of jury outside of the
county In which the accused lived to
try the accused was revolutionary.
This feature applies to counties where
juries have not been conyicting and
grand juris indiSti.; liquor selling
yiolators because such communities
are not in favor of prohibition. Lowe,
of Marion, voted for 1t but said he
doubted whether the measure would
accomplish what it was intended for.
Eighteen bills were reported out
by the senate committees with recon-
lmendation that each pass, while the
drugless therapeutics bill was unfayor-
ably reported. The mines and mining
bill, creating six assistant inspectors
and enlarglng the powers OF the head
OF the department of mines, which
was sent back to the committee two
days ago, came back today and will go
through without opposition OF seri-
Gus nature.
The woman's suffrage amendment
which passed the house yesterday.
when the senate resolution was sub
stituted for the house resolution on
second;reading, will not go to the gov.
ernor until the house meets the con
stitutlonal provisions of reading the
bill of three separate days. The sen.
ate resolution. therefore, will not be
legally passed by the house until!
Thursday at the earliest, the resolu'
tion being treated Us a bill. The err
ror was not discovered until after the
house had acted yesterday.
The important measures OF the long
list passed by the house this morn.
ing was the FREQ text book bill; bill.
providing for the election of United
States Senators to meet the constitu-
tional provisions.
The stir created by the issuance OF
warrant for Speaker Johnson OF the
house because boy under the age o.
fourteen years had been employed
as a page, did not amount to much.
A Socialist, ignorant of the law, an
ticipated excitement and embarrass.
ment for the speaker, which did not
materialize.
Fourteen new bills were offered In
