air in the room wns rather chilly, but
the clerks were found busily at work in
their light Office coats. They had warmed
the bulb of the thermometer up 10 rs
and awaited developments. Tho official
remarked that it was cold, aud shivorsd
and looked uncasily about the room. A
clerk lcisurely glanced at the thermom-
eter and said that IL was very comfort

While he was busy in his temporary hos
pital, the manager, Mr.. Broweu, came to
him with pale face.
Garry he said, ''there is party Of five
gone down; and two Of them are attacked
by the fire damp-very badly. Can you do

1t was all done so quickly. Another doc

Browell muttered Some instinct prompted
him to take the others hand, just for an in
slant

And without word the men lowered him
out OF sight.
There were no more accents for short
time. When the rope was drawn up again
it brought up one wan, exhausted man from
the last exploring party. He reported that
the stythe was simply dreadful-two of the
party had succumbed; the doctor was doing
his best
Another man or two went below and came
up again. Once they brought fellow
creature hanging between life and death;
another moment in that foul air would have
finished him
Then with silent and awe-struck faces
something wrapped in sacking was handed
up and carried to a shelter.
The dawn was breaking now in chill gray
streaks; the people who had watched all
night were stealing away toward their
homes; the numbing suspense had begun to
tell upon them they looked stolid, and had
begun to feel that they were chill to the bone
The young doctor, whose task for the present
was over, was lowering about trying to
brace himself up; he bravely uttered his
thoughts aloud. %Some one ought to fetch
