CHAPTER XXV.
PAUL CHANGES HIS BUSINESS.

The shooting of the train-wrecker for the moment diverted notice from the victims of the catastrophe; but their condition speedily recalled the attention of those who were unhurt.

Paul once more bent over Mr. Bradford, and repeated his inquiry:

"Are you much hurt, Mr. Bradford?"

"I can't tell you. I will try to get up, if you will help me."

With some difficulty, for the manufacturer was a heavy man, Paul raised him to a sitting position.

"Oh, my arm!" cried Mr. Bradford, wincing.

Paul noticed that his left arm hung helpless at his side.

"I must have broken my arm," he said; "I can't raise it."
