 ly, however, that the August expenses ran up to Sl .S05, ,5l3,222 or nearly S200-

 record set in July.
 These figures from the T'reasGry
 show that less than 11a years of mod

 more than four times the combined Union and Confederate outlays for three years of the Civil war, calculated lat $3,66o, 900, 900 for the Union and $1, 300 900 900 for the Confedcrates. The report also shows double the rate of increase in expenditures esti- mated by the government in June. then set at $1O0,0OO,000 more each month. T,e report shows further that of the sl7,339 100000 cost of the

SUPERVISION SAYS J. BERNARD WILL NAVI-
 GATE N- E. PASSAGE
Associated Press Service.

Associated Press Service.
 VANCOUVER, E C-Captain Joe Bernard, daring trader of Nome, Alaska, is spending about five years working his way eastward in his boat, the Teddy Bear from the Bering Sea through the northeast passage to the Atlantic Ocean.
 Reports came from Alaska some time ago that Bernard was endeavor- ing to navigate the northeast passage, but no details were given. Vilhjalm UT Stefansson. the Canadian Arctic ex- plorer, on his return here recently from the north, confirmed the reports and said lie though Bernard would reach the Atlantic safely, as he was a good navigator and was travelling in fairly well known waters.
 Bernard has been out of touch with civilization for about two years and, according to Stefansson, probably will not appear in the Atlantic until 1921. The trader left Alaska's far northwest ern outposts in 1916 and planned to make the trip in five years.
 If Bernard succeeds, he will be one of the very few people who have ever negotiated the northeast passage. The latest to come through the icy channel was Roald Amundsen, who negotiated the passage in 1906. Stef- ansson planned to make the trip but the failure of boat to meet him after he had completed the worst part of the trip on foot caused him to change his plans.
 Bernard worked along the northern Canadian coast with some of Stefans- sons party in 1916, the explorer said. He soon left the explorers, however, and pressed on into the barren white waters to the east. The next heard from him may be when he turns up at some far northern Atlantic port.

CHAPTER w.
Black Sanchez, Pirate.

1 rested in my berth for a long time,
staring blankly up at the dark deck
above, unable to sleep, and endeavor-
ing to figure out the true meaning Of
all these occurrences. 1 felt that ]
could understand the interest exhib.
tied by Dorothy Fairfax, and, greatly
as l already admired her, l was not
egotist enough to even imagine that
her effort to serve me had basis in any
personal attraction. But what about
Lieutenant Sanchez? Why was this
unknown Spaniard already so openly
my enemy? Could it be because of
Dorothy Fairfax? l felt finally that I
had the clue-jealousy, the mad, un.
reasoning jealousy of his race.
1 had no false conception as to this |;
no vagrant thought that her interest
in me was any more than a passing
fancy, born of sympathy and a de-
sire to aid. Nevertheless, as she had
thus already served me, 1 now owed
her service in return, and here was the
first call. If conditions made 1t DOS
sible 1t was my plain duty to place
myself between these two.
