Johnston, regaining his feet and feeling
of his legs and arms to see if he had
broken any bones.

And water" said Johnston.
An abundance of it, as cold as ice.
As Branasko preceded him down the
tortuous path Johnston ate the raw fish
eagerly. Presently they came to deep
pool Of water, and both men threw
themselves down on their stomachs and
drank freely. After this they proceeded
slowly for several hundred yards, and
finally reached the entrance to the cave
in which Branasko had seen the light
At that distance it looked like the light
of some great contlagration reflected
from the face of cliff.
They entered the cave and made good
progress toward the light, for it showed
them the dangerous assures, sharp
powders and stalactites. They had
walked along in silence for several min
rtes, when the Alphian stopped abrupt
" and turned to his companion.
What is the matter?" asked John
ston.
ut cannot come from the internal
fires" replied Branasko. "fOr the at
mosphere grows cooler as we get nearer
the light and away from the chasm."
Johnston was too much puzzled to
formulate reply, and he simply wait
ed for the Alphian to continue.
Let's 60 on," said Branasko, and in
his tone and hesitating manner john
ston detected the first appearance of su-
perstitious fear that he had seen in the
brawny Alphian.

Il saw him die. He told me that he
had come from your land when he was
child. His trouble was the lungs, and
he had fallen off to skeleton. He
talked to me Of your wide ocean land.
Is it indeed SO great? And has it no
walls about it:''
No; 1t is surrounded by water -
Il cannot understand. And after a
pause in which Johnston could hear the
great fellows heart beating he contin-
ned: THAT must be the heaven the man
spoke about. And beyond the water is
it always dark like this, and do they
bauish people there as the king has
us!''
No. Beyond are other countries But
is there no chance for US to escape from
here?"
The Alphian laughed bitterly. None.
What were you banishcd for?"
Il hardly know

grasped Johnston's arm in a clasp of
iron, Il see You are undeveloped, un-

right, Of course, but it is hard to bear.
But l must lie down. l am wearied
with constant rambling. l am nervous
too. l fell asleep awhile ago and
dreamed I heard all my friends in a
great, clamoring body calling my name,
'Branasko! and then awoke and cried
for help"
As he spoke he sank with sigh to
the ground and rested his head on his
elbows and knees and seemed asleep.
The American sat down beside him, and
for a long time neither spoke. Branasko
broke the silence. He awoke with q
start and eyed his companion in sleepy
wonder.
Ugh, I dreamed againr' he grunted.
"Are you asleep?"
"No," was Johnston's reply. II am
hungry and thirsty and cannot sleep"
so am l, but we must wait till it is
lighter; then we can go in search Of
food. When was boy, learned to
catch fish in pools with my hands, and
it has prolonged my life here When the
light comes again. I shall show you
how do it."
"Then the day does break? thought
it was eternally dark here"
1T does not get very light, because
we are behind the sun, but it is lighter
than now, for we get the suns reflec-
ton, enough at least to keep us from
falling into the chasms.''
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,

stretching himself.

Presently they came to the edge Of .
black chasm, and the American was
allied 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 out
heat?''
"No."
III is cold?"
II believe 50. I have never thought
much about it."
The American was mystified, but he
did not question further, for Branasko
was carefully lowering himself into the

he said. "Get down beside me. Fear
nothing. 1t is solid. Besides, what does
it matter? You can die but once, and it
would really be better to fall down
there into the internal fires than to
starve slowly"
Johnston shuddered convulsively as
he let himself down beside Brauasko.
His foot dislodged a stone. With crash
it fell upon lower ledge and bounded
of 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.

Yes; but follow me. We cannot stop

transfer 100000 from the County.
Revenue Fund to the County Bond
and Interest fund, the same being
the amount borrowed from the Bond
and Interest Fund in the year 1899.
Resolution carried.
The committee heretofore ap-
pointed on the expenditure of the
State appropriation for a road in the
Town of Cedar made the following
report, which was accepted,
The committee found prior con-
tracts unfinished and proceeded to
re-let the work, and did make new
contracts as follows; Contract let to
Nels Olson, in Thief Lake, and
Andrew Olson, in Cedar, work to be
completed on or before December
10Th 1903.
The committee heretofore ap-
pointed to examine the. condition Of
the State bitches made the following
report which was accepted,
Your committee respectfully re
ports that they found the Tamarac
Ditch in good condition, being clear
of all Instructions, and in our
opinion not needing any repairs.
The Middle River Ditch we found in
good condition, by all appearances,
the water has kept ditch clear and
cleaned it of nearly all weeds and
willows that we're growing in ditch,
and we are of the opinion that the
ditch is in need of no repairs. The
Vega ditch we found in bad condi-
tion, the lower end Of the ditch
where it empties into the coulee is
filled up with sediment that stops
the flow Of the water, causing the
upper end Of the ditch to fill up and
grow up to weeds, and we are Of the
opinion that the ditch should be ex-
tended to the river, after that is
done the balance Of the ditch should '''lld
be cleaned out.
The committee heretofore ap-
pointed to report on the location and
cost Of a Bridge on Thief River II
the Town Of Excel for which the
State has made an appropriation,
made the following report, which was
accepted:
