The sounds of voices and Of NOV

but the darkness was too dense below
to permit the eye perceiving what was
taking place. The rattle of steel told
me some among them had reached the
arm rack. There followed the crash
Of wood as though the butt of gun
had splintered door panel. Then a
voice pierced the babel. My mind
gripped the meaning of it all; they
had found leader; they had released
Manuel Estevan. Now the real fight

We met them, point to point, our ad-

mer of light at our backs. The first
rush was reckless and deadly, the in
furiated devils not yet realizing what
they faced, but counting on force OF
numbers to crush our defense. Man

and sweeping his cutlass, gripped with
both hands, in desperate effort to
break through. DeLasser caught its

buried him back into the arms of the
man behind. I saw nothing else in de-

distinct figures and CLEAN of steel. It
was pnndemOnium Of blows and
yells, strange faces appearing and dis
appearing, as men leaped desperately
at us up. the steps, and we beat them
remorselessly back. I saw nothing
more of Manuel in the fray, but his
shrill voice urged on his fellows. 1t

a stout fighter the lad was, welding
his cutlass viciously, so that we held
them, with dead men litterlng every
step to the cabin deck.
But they were of breed trained to
such fighting, and the lash of Manuel's
tongue drove them Unto mad reckless
ness. And there seemed no end OF
them, sweeping up out of those black
shadows, with bearded or lean brown
savage faces, charging over the dead
bodies, hacking and gouging in vain

my arms ached, until my head reeled,

Women Workers.

In almost every line of war activi-
ties the women of this country have
done well and have taken front rank
for doing work that released thousands
of men for service overseas. Some
women have been over ambitious. and,
at the expense of their health, have fill
ed places once occupied by men. Ev-
cry woman who. because of overwork,
has brought on some ailment peculiar
to her sex, should depend upon Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
restore her health and strength as this
remedy is now recognized as the stand
ard and has restored multitudes.

The mines are now working half-time
and quarter time.
stocks accumulated during the fall
OF last year have been almost depleted,
and within few months everybody
will be trying to place orders. 1t would
be physical impossibility for the
mines to produce sufficient coal in the
short time then remaining before cold
weather to meet the demand. Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield has urged the pub
lie to place It's orders now. The Nat
ional Coal Association emphaticaiiy
endorses this advice. For the man
who longer delays in arranging for his
coal supply for next fall and winter
stands IN grave danger Of not getting

COAL SHORTAGE WARNING.
Situation More Serious Than That OF
Eighteen Months Ago. "

Chicago. May 31-A warning that
America faces possible coal shortage
more serious than that of eighteen
months ago was sounded today by a
special committee Of the National Coal
Association. whose membership pro-
duces approximately seventy-five per
cent Of the country's bituminous coal.
The committee. headed by F. s. Pea
body OF Chicago. pointed to the pro-
duction decrease of 100000 tons
from January TO May 10 as compared
with a year ago. declared there are
grave dangers of labor shortage and
urged that consumers place their
orders now and thus set the idle mines
in full swing again.
"A sitaution alive with possibilities
Of the gravest consequences confronts
the people with respect to their coal
supply for the coming fall and winter"
says the statement. The association
regards the prospect with such misgiv-
ing that 1t would be remiss in it's plain
duty IL it failed to call attention pub
licly to the facts.
