men drank it, from pannikins and
mugs, and from the bottles-great
trimming drinks, each one of which
was in itself debauch. But they did
not stop at one or two. They drank
and drank, and ever the bottles slipped
forward and they drank more.
The steerage, where were two
wounded hunters, was a repetition of
the forecastle, except that Wolf Lar
sen was not being cursed; and it was
with a great relief that l again
emerged on deck and went aft to the
cabin. Supper was ready, and Wolf
Larsen and Maud were waiting for me.
While all his ship was getting drunk
as fast as it could he remained sober.
Not a drop of liquor passed his lips.
He did not dare it under the circum-
stances, for he had only Louis and me
to depend upon, and Louis was even
now at the wheel. We were sailing on
through the fog without lookout and
without lights. That Wolf Larsen had
turned the liquor loose among his men
surprised me, but he evidently knew
their psychology and the best method
of cementing in cordially what had
begun in bloodshed.
His victory over Death Larsen
seemed to have had remarkable eff
feet upon him. The previous evening
he had reasoned himself into the blues.
and I had been waiting momentarily
for one of his characteristic outbursts.
Yet he discovered himself in splendid
trim when l entered the cabin. He had
Rad no headaches for weeks, his eyes
ware clear blue as the sky, his bronze
WAS beautiful with perfect health;
life swelled through his veins in full
and magnificent flood. While waiting
for me be had engaged Maud in ami
mated discussion. He seemed voluble,
prone to speech as l had never seen
him before. The discussion was on
love and. as usual, his was the sheer
materialistic side, and Maud's was the
idealistic. For myself. beyond word
or so of suggestion or correction now

He was brilliant, but so was Maud.

Alabama Coal.

The earliest known record of the ex.
istence of coal in Alabama was made
in 1884. but the first statement of pro-
duction in the state is contained in the
United States census report for 1910,
in which the amount mined is given as
GAG tons. The mines of Alabama were
probably worked to considerable ex'
tent during the Civil war, but there are
no specific records until 1870, for
which the United States census re-
ports a production of 1900 tons. The
of the present great in
dustry really began in 1881 and 1882,
when attention was directed to the
large iron deposits near the city of
Birmingham. In 1914, according to
the United States geological survey.
the production was 15,59S.42 tons.

was flushed and vivacious. Her wit
was playing keenly, and she was enjoy
ing the tilt as much as Wolf Larsen,
and he was enjoying it hugely For
some reason, though / know not why,
in the argument, so utterly had I lost
it in the contemplation of one stray
brown lock of Maud's hair, he quoted
from Iseult at Tintagel, where she
says:
Blessed am I beyond women even
herein,
That beyond all born women is my sin.
And perfect my transgression.
AS he had read pessimism into
Omar, so now he read triumph, sting
ing triumph and exultation, into Swim
burne's lines. And he read rightly,
and he read well. He had hardly
ceased reading when Louis put his
head into the compantonway and whis-
pered down:
BE easy, will ye? The fog's lifted,
an it's the port light iv a steamer
that's crossin' our bow this blessed
minute"
Wolf Larsen sprang on deck, and so
swiftly that by the time we followed
him he had pulled the steerage-slide
over the drunken clamor and was on
his way forward to close the forecas-
tle-scuttle. The fog, though it re-
manned, had lifted high, where it OBJ
scured the stars and made the night
quite black. Directly ahead Of us
could see bright red light and white
light, and could hear the pulsing of a
steamers engines. Beyond doubt it
was the Macedonia
Wolf Larsen had returned to the
poop, and we stood in silent group
watching the lights rapidly cross our
bow.
Lucky for me he doesn't carry a
searchlight," Wolf Larsen said.
What if 1 should cry out loudly?''
l queried in whisper.
1T would be all up" he answered.
But have you thought upon what
would Immediately happen?"
Before l had time to express any de-
sire to know, he mad me by the throat
with his gorilla grip, and by faint
CULVER of the muscles-a hint, as ii
Were-he suggested to me the twist
that would surely have broken my
neck The next moment he had re,
leased me and we were gazing at the
Macedonia's lights.
What if l should cry out?" Maud
asked.
81 like you too well to hurt you" he
said softly-nay, there was tender
ness and a caress in his voice that
made me vince. But don't do it, just
the same, for I'd promptly break Mr..
Van Weyden's neck"
Then she has my permission to cry
out" 1 said defiantly.
Il hardly think you'll care to sacri-
fee the Dean o. American Letters the
Second" he sneered.
We spoke no more, though we had
become too used to one another for the
silence to be awkward; and when the
red light and the white had disap-
peared we returned to the cabin to
finish the interrupted supper.
If ever Wolf Larsen attained the
summit of living. he attained it then.
From time to time 1 forsook my own
thoughts to follow him, and | followed
in amaze, mastered for the moment by
his remarkable intellect, under the
spell of his passion, for he was preach
ing the passion of revolt 1t was in
evitable that Millions Lucifer should
be instanced, and the keenness with
which Wolf Larsen analysed and de.
picted the character was revelation
of his stifed genius. 1t reminded me
of Taine, yet l knew the n1an had

dangerous thinker

more strictly classed as gasoline
thieves than auto thieves, for they
returned the car in apparently good
condition, minus only about four gal
Ions of high priced operating juice.
Both the garage and the car were
locked but that did not phase the
burglars. for they twisted the lock
off the garage with an iron bar, and
carried their own Ford key to unlock
the car

the car was taken until after mid
night as the family were up until
that time and heard no disturbance.
The car was found in an alley near

RIGGS BANK
CASE TRIAL
DUE TODAY
High Officers Of Washington Institution
Must Answer TO Charge Of Perjury
in Connection with Alleged
Stock Transactions
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington. May S.-With the
leading legal lights of New York and
Washington as advocates and bank
crs throughout the country as audi
ence, the famous Riggs bank case
was to come to trial here today.
Charles G. Glover, president; viii
liam j. Flather. vice-president, and
Henry H. Flather, former cashier Of
ihe Riggs National bank are to ans
wer the charge OF perjury in The
district supreme court.
The three men are charged with
testifying falsely that the Riggs bank
did not engage in stock transactions
Back of the case is the fight that
has ragged for year, or since the
Riggs bank officials charged Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, John
Skeiton Williams, Comptroller of the
Currency and other treasury officials
%ifh conspiracy to wreck the bank
The bank officials plead that the
stock transactions, alleged by the
government to have been with the de-
funct Lewis, johnson & Company in
the name Of the bank, were those of
the banks customers.
Samuel Untermeyer, chief counsel
for the treasury officials in the con-
spiracy suit, is expected to act in an
advisory capacity to U. S. Attorney
Laskey, prosecutor. For the bank Of
ficials the star corporation lawyers
of Washington are acting.
The fight between Williams and
the bank officials has been bitter
Charges of perjury, bad faith and
general undesirability have flown
back and forth between them ever
since the spring of 1915.
Upon the acquittal of the officials
or their resignation hangs the renew
al of the charter of the Riggs bank
one of the oldest and strongest out
side of New York. Williams has
limited that he will not renew the
charter if the present officers remain
in charge unless they are freed of
the perjury charge against them.
. 1t is possible the trial will not
he ever before the present charter
of the bank expires July /.
The government charges 1872 items
of stock dealing by the bank. The
fact that the company with which
tue transactions allegedly were made
is defunct was another angle expect
ed to be considered.
The fact that the trial started to-
day was defeat for the. bank off
GERS, who tried to have it advanced
IN the calendar to assure its com
pletion before the time for renewal
Of the charter
