1t all. 1t was only a nightmare, only
q delusion, natural enough when one
considered all the circumstances.
When the fog lifted with the ap-
proaeh of deSA, he discovered what
Philip and Jeanne did not become
aware Of until several hours later. that
the Aurora had drifted out to sea in
the gale. The clean line OF b hori.
zon was broken by nothing but the
plunging masses Of the ice. There was
just one chance, he thought, thai she
might still be comparatively near at
hand. Southwark and eastward the
horizon was unbroken, but the jutting
mass of the promontory to the west
cut off his view in that direction. 1t
was possible that the gale which had
destroyed the foe that formed the
harbor, had also broken up the pack
ice at the other side of the peninsula,
the side from which Cayley, IN the
wing, had first approached this un-
known land. The yacht might be
there, riding safely In practically open
water.
He got up from the snow nest he
had made for himself in the lee of the
rock, and cautiously fexed his stiffen-
ed muscles, with the idea of setting
out at once down the beach and
around the headland to learn whether
this last hope Of his was groundless.
Really, in his heart, he had no hope
at all, but that fact made 1t easy to
postpone for a little longer the putting
of this delusion of q hope ne hac<t to
the test of reality.
The excuse he made to himself was.
that he was ravenously hungry, and
that his most sensible course would be
to go up the glacier to the cave and
cook himself a breakfast before he did
anything else.
He was fully persuaded by that time
that what he had seen at the hut last
night during the storm had been moth.

AS Roscoe fed along the beach on
the night Cayley descended upon him
through the fog, there was no doubt
in his mind that he hac seen the ghost

Of getting back to the Aurora had

great rock and had spent the night
there, his mind completely torpid with
fear.
When the numbness of this terror
passed away, as gradually 1t did, he
bent all this thoughts upon the Aurora
and upon the possibility, not quite in
conceivable. that his crew had sue
ceeded in overpowering her people
and were now in possession OF the

that this was SO and that with the

There was a great frozen lump OF

afterward identified as the edible
scurvy grass to which Captain Field

That was all, or they thought 1t was,
but just as they were about to re-
trace their steps to the hut, Cayley
happened to glance up. The roof of
the cave was not very much higher
than it had to be to permit him to
stand erect in it, something under sew

of it he saw a circular, chimney-like

DISTRICT TEACHERS
BUSY IN GLENWOOD

The teachers institute for the Thir-
teenth district opened here last Mon
day morning with 33 teachers in at
tendance. There are now over 40 reg
istercd and in attendance with a pros
pect of some additions for next week.
Unfortunately the sessions in this dis
trict only extend over two weeks in
stead of the four weeks sessions held
in most of the eastern states.
The attendance is not as good as
was desired but this is due largely 10
the fact that many of the teachers of
the district are attending the special
summer normal schools provided by
the state normal college at both Gree
ley and Gunnison.
Mrs. Westerman, the Garfield county
uperintendent, is secretary of the nor
NAL district and had made every ar
rangement necessary for the institute
and in consequence the work started
off without a hitch and the teachers
consider this a very successful and
valuable institute.
j. IL. Allen, superintendent of the
Grand Junction city schools, is the
conductor in charge and he is ably
assisted by Mr.. Stoddard, principal last
year of the Genwood schools, and Mrs.
Leake who has done much educational
work in Colorado and who is an edu-
Gator of more than local note.
Arrangements have been made for
several special lectures during the ses-
sion. The institute has been fortunate
this week in having several lectures by
Professor Marshall of the state acri-
cultural college at Fort Collins. His
lectures on agricultural topics have
been especially enjoyed by the teach
ers and Others present.
An especial treat to the teachers was
the very practical address Thursday
afternoon by State Superintendent
Mrs. Helen NJ. Wilson of Denver.

Greeley, June 10. G. Shelley, the
Denver contractor against whom four
teen informations were filed, charging
bribery, forgery and perjury in con
nection with Weld county graft charges
this morning pleaded guilty to bribery
and was given the minimum sentence
Of one to two years in the state peni-
tentiary.
The plea of guilty ended abruptly
what promised to be sensational trial.
Among the witnesses called was L. j.
Estes, former county commissioner, who
told of his agreement with Sheeley to
get rakeotf of ) per cent on all the
bridges for which Sheeley was given
the contract. Estes was brought from
Canon City, having been convicted Of
forgery and sentenced to a term of six
to eight years in the penitentiary.
Former County Commissioner r. W.
DeViney told substantially the same
story of his relations with Sheeley.
DeVinny pleaded guilty to malfeasance
in office some time ago. and resigned.
There are other charges hanging over
him. +. C. Peterson former clerk of
the board, told of receiving $500 bribc
money from Sheeley.
Shelley received a min mum sentence
on recommendation of the district at
torney, who explained to the court that
the convicted contractor had returned
$26, $50 to the county. In this he fol
lowed DeVinny, who returned $2,lO0,
Estes, who returned $500, and Peter
son, who returned $500.
1t developed at the conclusion of the
trial this morning that another grand
jury had been called secretly on May
27 last, and had been holding sessions
for one week. 1t is currently reported
that it is probing further into irregu
larities which were left uninvestigated
by the grand jury which was forced %
