Branasko lowered his head to his
knees and slept again, but the Ameri-
can, though wearied, was wakeful.
Several hours passed. The Alphian was
sleeping soundly, his breathing was
very heavy, and he had rolled down on
his side.
Far away in the east the darkness
gradually faded into purple, and then
into gray, and slowly hints of pink ap-
peared in the skies. It was dawn. John
ston touched his companion. The man
awoke and looked at him from his
great swollen eyes.
''It is day." he yawned, rising and
stretching himself.
"But the sun is not in sight"
"No, it shows itself only in the mid
die of the day, and then but for few
minutes. We must go now and search
for food. I will show you how to catch

ko hastened on. -.,-.s.s
Presently they came TO the edge Of a
black chasm, and the American was
filed with awe, for, from the seemingly
fathomless depths, came great roaring
sound like that of a mighty wind, and
the air that came from it was hot,
though pure and free from the odor OF
gas.
"What is this?'' he asked.
"They are everywhere, answered
Branasko. "",If it were not for their hot
breathing, the Land Of the Changing
Sun would be cold and damp"
"Then the SUN does not give ont
heat?"
NO.

Johnston shaddered conwulsively as
he let himself down beside Branasko.
His foot dislodged stone. With crash
it fell upon lower ledge and bounded
off and went whizzing down into the
depths Both men listened. They heard
the stone bounding from ledge to ledge
till the sound was lost in the internal
roaring. ~

"The American held to his companion
with one hand and the rock with the
other, and they slowly made their way
along the narrow ledge. pausing every
now and then to rest. At every step the
path grew more perilous and narrower,
and the cliff on their left rose higher
and higher, till the reflected light of the
sun had entirely disappeared. At GER
tain points the hot wind dashed upon
them as furiously as the whirling mist
in the Cave Of the Winds at Niagara
falls. Once Johnston's foot slipped and
he fell, but was drawn back to safety
by the strong arm Of the Alphian.

warned Branasko indifferently, and he
moved onward as if nothing unusual
had occurred. Presently they reached
a point where narrow bowider jutted
out over the chasm toward the opposite
