ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9.—The annual convention of the National Medical Association, held here, was one of the most successful in the history of the organization. Dr. John P. Turner, the new president of the organization, said: "We have a membership of about two thousand, including physicians, dentists and pharmacists from every state in the Union, and it is the largest and most intellectual organization of Negroes in the world. All are graduates of various colleges in this country, and a number have studied in the great European universities. "I am proud to be honored with the presidency, and during my term I shall advocate the enactment of federal legislation to prevent the marriage of tubercular persons and others suffering with those diseases that have long ravaged the human race." Dr. Turner has been on the staff of the Douglass Memorial Hospital for fifteen years and a medical examiner in the public schools of Philadelphia for nine years, and has one of the largest practices among the physicians of his race.

E. Daniels, pastor of St. Philip's P. E. church, last Sunday morning.

MISCELLANEOUS Germany would be better off, perhaps, if certain elements of her population could have been persuaded to give up the weapon-carrying habit. It is said that 12,000 French war brides are going back through homesickness. The romance of war is beginning to be over as well as the war. The greatest advantage of the old clothes pledge is that as far as most people are concerned it involves no change in one's appearance or habits. The proposed tax on doctors, lawyers and dentists seems funny until the tickled public sobers down long enough to remember its echo in the bills. Tomatoes for babies is the recommendation of a doctor, but for decorative purposes and making it seem like home, nothing will ever take the place of a stick of licorce. The egg has figured as a symbol of advancement in more way than in Christopher Columbus' object lesson in the possibilities of circumnavigation. It may yet set the pace for an H. C. L. reduction. UNUM E UNUM E DR. R. R. MOTON PLEADS FOR GENERAL SUPPORT OF RACE JOURNALS (By Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 9.—An earnest plea for the support of Negro newspapers in America was made by Dr. Robert R: Moton of Tuskegee Institute in an address delivered before the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia. He said, in part: "We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have got to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for right and justice, and they have rarely omitted an act or overlooked an opportunity directed toward co-operation in business or among business men. "They have urged our people to support Negro business enterprises and have pointed out that the indispensable road to progress is the opening of business avenues for the young men and young women of our race. No group among our people has been more persistent, more patient, more far-sighted, more self-sacrificing than have the publishers of our newspapers. "There should be at least one Negro newspaper in every Negro home of this country. Without such public support, our newspapers cannot expand or render the service we expect of them.

Maguniez preached a special sermon to the ladies of Douglas. Although the weather was unfavorable, quite a number of ladies came out to hear this noble sermon. Rev. Maguniez took his text from Esther, 1st chapter, 12th verse. He delivered a remarkable sermon, and those present were greatly benefited by his words. Rev. Maguniez is a powerful pulpit orator and all Douglas is proud of him. He left Tuesday evening for Tucson to attend the Annual Conference of the A. M. E. church. We trust he will be returned to the church in this city. Mr. Jack Hayes left Sunday in his big touring car for Nogales, Ariz., where he will be joined by Mrs. Hayes and together will spend their vacation in the mountains hunting and fishing. They will return to Douglas about October 1st. The Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday school entertained last Sunday morning in honor of Miss Louise McGaum's eighteenth anniversary.

A splendid musical program was rendered last Friday evening at the A. M. E. church and it proved entirely successful. Mr. Taylor of St. Louis TRIBUNE (By Associated Negro Press) New York, Sept. 9.—Belief that the race riots between Negroes and whites can be avoided, has led several prominent social workers of the country to form a society for the promotion of harmony between the two races. The committee for the reconciliation of the races is not in favor of the isolation of any race. It has gone on record as being opposed to the resolution passed by the convention held recently in Madison Square Garden, calling upon all Negroes to emigrate to Africa. Fenton C. Johnson, the Negro poet, speaking for the committee, explained that such a movement would only result in a loss for both races. "The Negro is an essential economic unit in the welfare of America," he said. "The only solution of the present problem is for the blacks and whites to know each other better. That is the purpose of this committee." Gongressman Dyer Of Missouri Will Be Opposed By Black Man (By Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., Sept. —The Republicans of the Seventeenth Ward elected Ernest Patillo, a Negro, ward committeeman last Saturday in the place of Frank M.

After collecting subscriptions to the amount of $2000 on last Wednesday, they opened a grocery store and meat market at the corner of Vertner and Second streets. Three clerks are in charge. Miss Laura Carroll is bookkeeper. MISCELLANEOUS Sending one's voice by wireless and having it recorded is additional proof that a man never goes so far but that his voice follows him. There are 11,000,000 farms in the United States. Now what more is needed are a few more husky American boys down on them. "Are sermons indispensable?" Is a church issue in London where an effort seems to be under way to arrive at the long and short of it. In aviation the week's triumph was the successful opening of the New York to San Francisco air mall route; its tragedy was the death of Lieutenant Locklear, noted "stunt" aviator, when his plane fell 1,000 feet at Los Angeles. and Mr. Patillo were the promoters and to them much credit is due. Mr. Taylor is a singer of note and has become quite popular in this community. All numbers on the program were good. Mr. Richard Garrison will leave on the 26th for points in Texas. EX-NEWSPAPER MAN PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO LOCAL EDITOR Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 5, 1920. Editor the Phoenix Tribune: Dear Sir:—For several weeks I have been intending to write you regarding the intrinsic value of your great paper, the Phoenix Tribune, and yet I realize how futile my efforts when attempting to do justice to this peerless journal. For the past fifteen years I have been a close observer of Negro journals and have read all the periodicals of any consequence published by Negroes. In them I found some good, wholesome food for thought, but since I have begun to read the Tribune my vision has been broadened and I find that few of the Negro journals equal the Tribune and none surpass it. Although I have received only three copies of your paper, they have clearly revealed to me that my limit of accomplishments is gauged only by the limit of the infinite mind. I know now that I am an integral part of the universe and that I can be whatever I resolve to be. I would like to see the Tribune placed in the homes of all colored people throughout the United States. It would be an inspiration to the rising generation and the Magna Charter for those who have reached the age of maturity. I would like to write more, but the Tribune has carried my mind away on a visit to the world within and nothing affords me greater enjoyment. If you care to use this letter in any way to bring before the people the merits of the Tribune, you are at liberty to do so. Sincerely yours, L. J. FORT. Lift $6,000 Mortgage On Y. M. C. A. Lot In.

PRESCOTT (By Mrs. Dora Rose) All Prescott, particularly members of Mt. Olive Baptist church, are looking forward hopefully to Sunday, September 19, the day of the big pastoral anniversary rally at this church. The pastor, Rev. S. E. Newell, is now closing out twelve months of very successful service with this church and congregation.

It will be celebrated throughout the country, and will be the greatest effort for equal opportunity ever put forth in the history of the race. The people have come to the parting of the ways. They have reached a decision that lynching in the United States must be stopped, and that all citizens should have equal rights be fore the law. They are determined to impress the importance of these facts on the minds of the American people and they have selected September 22 commonly known as "Emancipation Day," for the time to present their claims. Already throughout the country, not only among the colored people, but the whites as well, there is a great stir of interest. The colored people are aroused and enthusiastic because of their anxiety to bring about better living conditions. The white people are aroused because never before in the history of the nation has there been such a universal desire to give encouragement to the claims of the Negro, because of the desire to do what is known to be right. Every race newspaper throughout the country is heralding the event with flaming heads and bold types. Daily newspapers are supporting the plans in a manner that is amazing for their fairness. People are saying: "I have never seen anything like 'it in my life. Surely a better day is coming for all." The speakers who will address these various gatherings are men and women of national reputation. Some of them for more than two-score years have been fighting the battles of the race, and they say that with the conclusion of this day history will be made. Younger men, prominent in the business world, "the new Negroes," who have made for themselves a new place in the field of success, are setting aside their business interests to give universal attention to the day. HIGH HONORS GIVEN EDITOR BY ZION CHURCH MEMBERS HIGH HONORS GIVEN EDITOR BY ZION CHURCH MEMBERS (By Associated Negro Press) Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 9.—Oscar W.

The primaries are over and Republican and Democratic candidates have been placed in nomination for the coming general election in November. A few disappointed individuals are to be found in Phoenix and elsewhere, but it could not be otherwise. All could not win. Some had to go down in defeat. This is only the first lap of a great race and those who are forced to drop out because they have been disqualified should not take the matter to heart and brood over their defeat, but they should brace up, shake hands with their opponents and work for their election. Disappointed voters in both parties, who failed to nominate their favorites, should no longer be hostile to the successful candidates. Discard your grouch, roll up your sleeves, step in and work as hard for their election as you worked against their nomination. If all voters on both sides will do this, there will be aively scrap this fall and nothing pleases us more than the sight of an animated group of political scrappers, provided their methods are clean and manly. The Tribune is proud of the part it played in the primaries. Didn't know a little four-page weekly could be such an important factor in an election. The thousands of Colored voters throughout this state have come to look upon the Tribune as a safe guide, and whenever this paper endorses a candidate, they know he's right. Every nook and corner in this state where people of African descent reside, the Phoenix Tribune has found its way and each week carries them a wholesome message. The four thousand Colored voters of this state hold the balance of power and can swing any election. Perfect organization is the first requirement. Faith in your leader, race solidarity and a firm resolve to "vote it straight," will bring its reward. All Republican candidates in the primary election that were vigorously supported by the Colored voters were nominated over their opponents. What a mighty force we are when united. The greatest unified drive in the history of the American Negroes will take place in every state in the United States on September twenty-second. The occasion will be a NATIONAL DRIVE FOR JUSTICE. The speakers will be the leading men and women of the race gathered from the four corners of the earth. The date is selected because of its historical significance. It was on September 22nd, 1862, when Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, issued his preliminary proclamation designating January 1st, 1863, as the final day of slavery. On the occasion of the anniversary of this event this year, at a time when the entire people are quickened as never before in the determination—come what will—to have a full measure of freedom, and an equal share of justice, millions will gather in their respective communities, and declare by reasonable argument and indisputable logic, the cause for the demands of civilization. Contrary to what might be expected of some; contrary, if you please, to the belligerent methods of the Irish, the great army of speakers will make their appeal to the Throne of Reason, and to the spirit of fair play so long vouchsafed in our country. The dictum of agitators that "all the whites of America are without a conscience," is not accepted. Thousands and tens of thousands of whites, north, south, east and west, are now aroused to a high and holy, just and sensible view of human privileges. They have a conscience, and henceforth, by their conscience we shall know them. Impetus to this great national drive has been given by the recent masterful utterances of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, the Republican candidates for president and vice-president of the United States. Candidates of no other party, and particularly James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt of the Democratic party, have failed by public utterance to take cognizance of the righteous claims of the most loyal group in America, that lynching in America must be stopped, and that human justice must everywhere prevail within the borders of the nation. On the day throughout the country, September, twenty-second, when these gatherings shall be held, every man and woman, boy and girl, should regard it as sacred. It will be a day of destiny, and there is nothing whatever that should be regarded as important as attending the exercises in their home communities. Public sentiment throughout the country will be strengthened in our behalf in proportion to the interest each individual takes in making the day a success and an everlasting remembrance.

"I'm a feature writer; I'm doing a series on the West for Scribblers.'" she told him. "I visit New Mexico next, but I'm after something else besides a description of mountains and men; I'm also going to hunt up an old friend interested in mining, who told me if ever I got out this way I must look him up. He was continually singing this valley's charms, and so here I am. And I'm planning a great surprise on him. And, of course, I'm literally drinking in atmosphere—to say nothing of local color, which seems mostly to be men and revolvers." the unopened missive into her handbag, she retraced her steps to her room. There she ventured a startled gasp. The suitcase which she had left closed upon the floor was open—wide open—its contents disarranged. One one had rummaged it thoroughly. And Miss Donovan knew that she was under suspicion. The knowledge gave the girl a sudden thrill, but not of fear. Instead it served to strengthen her resolve. There had been nothing in her valise to show who she really was or why she was in Haskell, and consequently The man opposite wet his lips with his tongue in an effort to speak, but the girl was busy eating and apparently paid no attention. Her calm indifference convinced him that her words were entirely innocent, and his audacity returned. "Well," he ventured, "do you agree with this prospector friend?" "The scenery, you mean?" glancing up brightly. "Why, it is wonderful, of course, and I am not at all sorry having made the journey, although it hardly compares with Tennessee Pass or Silver Plume. Still, you know, it will be pleasant to tell Mr. Cavendish when I go back that I was here." He choked and his face seemed to whiten suddenly. "Mr. Cavendish?" he gasped. "Of New York? Not the one that was killed?" It was her turn to stare across the table, her eyes wide with horror, which she simulated excellently. "Killed! Has a man by that name been killed lately in New York? It was Frederick Cavendish I referred to." Her pretense was admirable. He was silent, realizing he had already said too much. "Tell me," she insisted, "has he been killed? How do you know?" Her earnestness, her perfect acting, convinced him. It was a mere coincidence, he thought, that this name should have cropped up between them, but, now that it had, he must explain the whole affair so as not to arouse suspicion. He cleared "his throat and compelled his eyes to meet those across the table. "Well, I don't know much about it, only what I read," he began, feeling for words. "He was found dead in his apartments, apparently killed by a burglar who had rified his safe." She sat with her chin in the palm of one hand, watching him from beneath the shadow of lowered lashes, but his eyes were bent downward at his plate. "Are you through?" he questioned suddenly. "Yes; this—this awful news has robbed me of all appetite." Neither had noticed Westcott as he entered the room, but his first glance about revealed their presence, and without an instant of hesitancy the big miner crossed the room and approached the table where the two were sitting "I hope I do not interrupt," he said pleasantly. "I had reason to suppose you were unacquainted with Mr. Beaton here." "What reason?" her surprised tone slightly indignant. "I believe the gentleman so informed me. It chanced that we had a slight controversy last night." "Over me?" "Over his curiosity regarding you—who you were; your presence here. I informed him that it was none of his business, and that if he mentioned your name in my presence again there was liable to be trouble. We scrapped it out." "You—you scrapped it out? You mean there was a fight over me—a barroom squabble over me?" "Not in a barroom; in the hotel office. Beaton drew a gun, and I had to slug him." "But the affair originated over me my name was brought into it?" she in A "Would You Escort Me to the Foot of the Stairs?" "Would You Escort Me to the Foot of the Stairs?" sisted. "You actually threatened him because he asked about me?" "I reckon that was about how it started," he admitted slowly. "You see, I rather thought I was a sorter friend of yours, and that I ought to stand up for you." Her eyes were scornful, angry. "Indeed! Well, permit me to say." the unopened missive into her handbag, she retraced her steps to her room. There she ventured a startled gasp. The suitcase which she had left closed upon the floor was open—wide open—its contents disarranged. Some one had rummaged it thoroughly. And Miss Donovan knew that she was under suspicion. The knowledge gave the girl a sudden thrill, but not of fear. Instead it served to strengthen her resolve. There had been nothing in her valise to show who she really was or why she was in Haskell, and consequently, if any vague suspicion had been P The Suitcase . . . Was Wide Open, Its Contents Disarranged. aroused as to her presence in that community, the searchers had discovered no proof by this rifling of her bag. Farriss' letter contained nothing of interest except the fact that Enright had also left for the West. He instructed her to be on the lookout for him in Haskell, added a line or two of suggestions, and ordered her to proceed with caution, as her quest might prove to be a dangerous one. Miss Donovan thought rapidly and clearly, more than ordinarily eager to solve this mystery. It was Frederick Cavendish who had formerly been the partner of Jim Westcott. This was why no answer had come to the telegrams and letters the latter had sent East. What had become of them? Had they fallen into the hands of these others? Was this the true reason for Beaton's presence in Haskell, and also why the La Rue woman had been hustily sent for? Westcott's discovery was not even proven yet; its value had not been definitely established; it was of comparatively small importance contrasted with the known wealth left by the murdered man in the East. No, there must be some other cause for this sudden visit to Colorado. But what? She gave little credence to the vague suspicions advanced by Valois; that was altogether too impossible, too metodramatic, this thought of the substitution of some other body. No doubt there had been a crime committed, its object the attainment of money, but without question the cost had been the life of Frederick Cavendish. The harsh clang of the dinner-bell from the porch below aroused her to a sense of hunger. Ten minutes later Timmons, guiltless of any coat, but temporarily laying aside his pipe as a special act of courtesy, escorted her into the dining room and seated her at a table between the two front windows. Evidently this was reserved for the more distinguished guests—traveling men and those paying regular day rates—for its only other occupant was an individual in a check suit. A waitress, a red-haired, slovenly girl, with an impediment in her speech, took her order and disappeared in the direction of the kitchen, and Miss Donovan discreetly lifted her eyes to observe the man sitting nearly opposite. He was not prepossessing, yet she instantly recognized his type, and the probability that he would address her if the slightest opportunity occurred. The waitress spread out the various dishes before her, and she glanced at them hopelessly. As she lifted her gaze she met that of her vis-a-vis fairly, and managed to smile. "Some chuck," he said in an attempt at good-fellowship, "but not to remind you of the Waldorf-Astoria." "I should say not," she answered, testing one of her dishes cautiously. "But why associate me with New York?" "You can't hide those things in a joint like this. When did you leave New York?" "Oh, more than a week ago," she lied gracefully. He stroked his moustache. "Then I suppose you haven't much late New York news? Nothing startling, I mean." "No; only what has been reported in the western papers. I do not recall anything particularly interesting." She dropped her eyes to her plate and busled herself with a piece of tough beef. "The usual murders, of course, and things of that kind." There was a moment's silence, then the man laughed as though slightly ill at ease. "Whatever brought a girl like you down in here?" Tribune CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rate: 1½ cents per word per issue.

This closes our acquaintancehip." She moved about the end of the table and touched Beaton's sleeve with her fingers. "Would you escort me to the foot of the stairs?" she asked, her voice softening. "We will leave this belligerent individual to his own company." Neither of them glanced back, the girl still speaking as they disappeared, but Westcott turned in his chair to watch them cross the room. He had no sense of anger, no desire to retaliate, but he felt dazed and as though the whole world was suddenly turned upside down. So she really belonged with that outfit, did she? Well, it was aood cottie on him. to deceive. No! He would not believe this. All his old lurking faith in her came back in a flash of revelation. He would continue to believe in her, trust her, feel that some worthy purpose had influenced her strange action. And, above all, he would be at the lower bridge on the hour set. He was back at the desk when Timmons returned. "What do I owe you, old man?" He paid the bill jokingly and in the best of humor, careful to tell the proprietor that he was leaving for his mine and might not return for several days. He possessed confidence that Timmons would make no secret of this in Haskell after his departure. He was glad to notice that Beaton observed him as he passed the Good Luck saloon and went tramping down Before he finished his meal his mood had changed to tolerant amusement. That the girl had deliberately deceived him was plain enough, revealed now in both her manner and words. It was clear she really belonged to the Lacy crowd, and had no more use for him. He could scarcely comprehend the situation; how a girl of her apparent refinement and gentility could ever be attracted by a rough, brutal type such as Ned Beaton so evidently was. There surely must be some other cause drawing them together. Yet, whatever it was, there was no doubt but that he had been very properly snubbed. Her words stung; yet it was the manner in which she had looked at him and swept past at Beaton's side which hurt the most. Oh, well, an enemy more or less made small difference in his life; he would laugh at it and forget. She had made her choice of companionship, and it was just as well, probably, that the affair had gone no further before he discovered the sort of girl she really was. Westcott reached this decision and the outer office at the same time, exchanged a careless word or two with Timmons, and finally purchased a clarig and retired to one corner to peruse an old newspaper. It was not so easy to read, however, for the news failed to interest or keep his mind from wandering widely. Who was this Beaton, and what connection could be have with Bill Lacy's gang? The row last night had revealed a mutual interest between the men, but what was its nature? Lacy's purpose he believed he understood to some extent—a claim that it was an extension of the La Rosita vein which Westcott had tapped in his recent discovery. But he had no personal fear of Lacy; not, at least, if he could once get the backing of Cavendish's money. But these other people—Beaton, Miss Donovan, and still another expected to arrive soon from the East—how were they connected with the deal? He was so deeply engrossed in these thoughts that he remained unaware that Timmons had left the office, or that the Chinese man-of-all-work had silently tipped down the stairs and was cautiously peering in through the open doorway to make sure the coast was clear. Assured as to this, the wily ? "Zis Meester Vest-c-ott?" He Asked Softly. oriental slid noiselessly across the floor and paused beside him. "Zis Meester Vest-c-ott?" he asked softly. "That's my name, John; what is it?" The messenger shook a folded paper out of his sleeve, thrust it into the other's hand hastily, and, with a hurried glance about, started to glide away as silently as he had come. He vanished into the dark hall, and there was the faint clatter of his shoes on the stairs. Westcott, fully aroused, cast his glance about the deserted room, and unfolded the paper which had been left in his fingers. His eyes took in the few penciled words instantly. "Do not be angry. I had the best of reasons. Meet me near the lower bridge at three o'clock. Very important. S. D." He read the lines over again, his lips emitting a low whistle, his eyes darkening with sudden appreciation. It had been a trick, then, a bit of playacting! But had it? Was not this rather the real fraud—this sudden change of heart. This note might have a sinister purpose; be intended to deceive. No! He would not believe this. All his old lurking faith in her came back in a flash of revelation. He would continue to believe in her, trust her, feel that some worthy purpose had influenced her strange action. And, above all, he would be at the lower bridge on the hour set. He was back at the desk when Timmons returned. "What do I owe you, old man?" He paid the bill jokingly and in the best of humor, careful to tell the propletor that he was leaving for his mine and might not return for several days. He possessed confidence that Timmons would make no secret of this in Haskell after his departure. He was glad to notice that Beaton observed him as he passed the Good Luck saloon and went tramping down the dusty road. The only carriage belonging to the town livery passed soon after his arrival, evidently bound for the station, and from his covert he recognized Beaton lolling carelessly in the back seat. This must mean that the man expected arrivals on the afternoon train, important arrivals whom he desired to honor. There was no sign, however, of Miss Donovan; the time was up, yet with no evidence of her approach. Westcott waited patiently, arguing to himself that her delay might be caused by her wish to get Beaton well out of the way before she ventured to leave the hotel. At last he strode down the path to the bridge, and saw her leaning over the rail, staring at the ripples below. "Why," he exclaimed in surprise, "how long have you been here?" "Several minutes," and she turned to face him. "I waited until the carriage passed before coming onto the bridge. I took the foot path from the hotel." "You sent for me; there is some explanation, no doubt?" The lady smiled, lifting her eyes to his face. "There is," she answered. "A perfectly satisfactory one, I believe; but this place is too prominent, as I have a rather long story to tell." "There is a rock seat below, just beyond the clump of willows, quite out of sight from the road," he suggested. "Perhaps you would go with me there?" "What trail is that?" "It leads to mines up the canyon, my own included, but is not greatly traveled; the main trail is farther east." She walked to the edge of the bridge and permitted him to assist her down the bank. There was something of reserve about her manner, which prevented Westcott from feeling altogether at ease. Neither broke the silence between them until they reached the flat boulder and had found seats in the shelter of overhanging trees. She sat a moment, then she turned toward him questioningly. "I was very rude," she said, "but you will forgive me when I explain the cause. I had to act as I did or else lose my hold entirely on that man—you understand? "I do not need to understand," he answered gallantly. "It is enough that you say so." "No, it is not enough. I value your friendship, Mr. Westcott, and I need your advice." "You may feel confidence in me." You may feel confidence in me. "Oh, I do; indeed, you cannot realize how thoroughly I trust you," and impulsively she touched his hand with her own. "That is why I wrote you to meet me here—so I could tell you the whole story." He waited, his eyes on her face. "I received my letter this morning—the letter I told you I expected, containing my instructions. They—they relate to this man Ned Beaton and the woman he expects on this train." "Your instructions?" he echoed doubtfully. "You mean you have been sent after these people on some criminal matter? You are a detective." There must have been a tone of distrust in his voice, for she turned and faced him defiantly. "No; not that. Listen: I am a newspaper woman, a special writer on the New York Star." She paused, her cheeks flushing with nervousness. "It—it was very strange that I met you first of all—for it seems that the case is of personal interest to you." "To me! Why, that is hardly likely, if it originated in New York." "The murder of Cavendish! He has been killed?" "Yes; at least that is what everyone believes, except possibly one man—his former valet. His body was found lying dead on the floor of his private apartment, the door of his safe open, the money and papers missing. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of murder on these facts." "But when was this?" She gave the date and he studied over it. "The same day he should have received my telegram," he said gravely. "That's why the poor fellow never answered." He turned to her suddenly. "But what became of my others," he asked. "and of all the letters I wrote?" "That is exactly what I want to learn. They must have been delivered to his cousin, John Cavendish. I'll tell you all I know, and then perhaps, between us, we may be able to figure it out." Briefly and clearly she set before him the facts she and Willis had been able to gather: the will, the connection between Enrightt and John Cavendish, the quarrel between John and Frederick, the visit of John to En right's office, the suspicion of Valola that the murdered man was not Cavendish, and, finally, the conversation overheard in Steinway's, the torn telegram, and the meeting between Celeste La Rue and Enright. When she had finished Westcott sat, chin in hand, turning the evidence over in his mind. "Do you believe Frederick Cavendish is dead?" he asked suddenly. "Yes." Westcott struck his hand down on the rock, his eyes glowing dangerously. "Well, I don't!" he exclaimed. "I believe he is alive! My theory is that this was all carefully arranged, but that circumstances compelled them to act quickly and before they were entirely ready. Two unexpected occurrence hurried them into action." She leaned forward, stirred by his earnestness. "The quarrel in the restaurant, leading to the making of the will," he answered gravely, "and my telegram. The two things fit together exactly. He must have received my first message that same night. In my judgment, he was glad of some excuse to leave New York and determined to take the first train west. His quarrel with John, coupled with his disgust of the company he kept, caused him to draw up this will hurriedly. He left the club intending to pack up and take the first train." "And was killed before he could do so?" "Possibly; but if the dead man had no scar on his chest he was not Frederick Cavendish; he was an impostor; some poor victim deliberately substituted because of his facial resemblance. My belief is that Fred returned to his apartments, took what money he required, packed his valise, and departed without a word to any one. He often did things like that—hastily, on the spur of the moment." "But what happened afterward?" "The rest is all theory. I do not know, but I'll make a guess. In some way the conspirators learned what had occurred, but not in time to intercept his departure; yet they had everything ready for action, and realized this was the opportunity. Frederick had disappeared leaving no trace behind; they could attend to him later, intercept him, perhaps—Wait! Keep still. There comes the carriage from the train." He drew her back into the denser undergrowth and they looked out through the leaves to where the road circled in toward the bridge. The hoof beats of horses alone broke the slence. CHAPTER VI. The carriage emerged into full view. Beside the driver it contained three passengers—Beaton on the front seat, his face turned backward toward the two behind, a man and a woman. The girl seized Westcott's arm while she directed his gaze with her free hand. "Look!" she cried. "The woman is La Rue. And the man—the man is Enright! He is the lawyer I told you of, the one whose hand is not clear in this affair. And he is here!" "Good!" Westcott exclaimed. "I'm glad they're both here. It means that there will be more to observe, and it means that there will be action—and that, too, quick! They are out here for a definite purpose which must soon be disclosed. And, Miss Donovan, I may be a little rock-worn and a little bit out of style, but I think their presence here has something to do with the whereabouts of Fred Cavendish." The girl looked straight into his honest, clear eyes. His remark opened a vast field for speculation. "You think he is alive, then?" she said earnestly. "It is an interesting hypothesis. Perhaps-perhaps he may be in this neighborhood, even. And that," she added, her Irish eyes alight, "would be more interesting still." "I hadn't finished, my argument when that carriage appeared." Westcott answered. "Do you remember? Well, that might be the answer, Beaton has been in this neighborhood ever since about the time of that murder in New York. Nobody knows what his business is, but he is hand-in-glove with Bill Lacy and his gang, Lacy, besides running a saloon, pretends to be a mining speculator, but it is my opinion there is nothing he wouldn't do for money, if he considered the game safe. And now, with everything quiet in the East, and no thought that there is any suspicion remaining, Beaton sends for the woman to join him here. Why? Because there is some job to be done too big for him to tackle alone. He's merely a gunman; he can do the strong-arm stuff, all right, but lacks brains. There is a problem out here requiring a little intellect; and it is my guess it is how to dispose of Cavendish until they can get away safely with the swag." "I wonder how this was ever planned out—if it be true?" "It must have originated in some cunning, criminal brain," he admitted thoughtfully. "Not Beaton's, surely; and, while she is probably much brighter, I am inclined to think the girl is merely acting under orders. There is somebody connected with this scheme higher up—a master criminal." Miss Donovan was no fool; newspaper work had taught her to suspect men of intellect, and that nothing, however wicked, low or depraved, was beyond them. "Enright!" she said definitely. "Obviously now. I've thought so from the first. But always he worked so carefully, so guardedly, that sometimes I Fiume is no better off now than the rest of the world.

PAGE THREE WE PAY $25.00 FOR $10.00 This is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme, but a bona fide, straight-forward business proposition. We represent the Commonwealth Casualty Company of Philadelphia, a million dollar corporation authorized to write sickness and accident insurance in Arizona. The policy costs $10 a year and in case of sickness or accident, we pay the insured $25 per week for a period of ten weeks, or should you be accidentally killed we will pay your beneficiary the sum of $5,000 and return all premium money paid in by you. In the past eighteen months, we have written over $300,000 worth of insurance in Arizona and not one dissatisfied customer is on our list. We have paid out hundreds of dollars in sick claims right here in Phoenix and stand ready to pay any legitimate claim that is presented against our Company. One thing about our Company that makes it so popular with policy holders is the fact that all "red tape" is eliminated and whenever a claim is presented it is always paid promptly. In addition to the $25 weekly sickness and accident benefits paid holders of our $10 policies, we pay $25 weekly hospital benefits, $150 for operation in case one is necessary, and $200 emergency relief. Our policies are the most liberal ever issued by any company, without assessments or dues, and sold to men and women of all nationalities, in all occupations, between the ages of 16 and 70 at the same low cost of $10 a year.
