Continuing Mr. Rice said, "I belong to every fraternal order under the sun except the American Woodmen and would join them if I was not over the age limit. In the last issue of their official organ, the Banner, I read about their Building and Loan Department.

If we only had a tax of 25 cents per head—just figure what that sum would mean in a few years, if we meant business. But no, our thoughts have been in other channels, not business. Your head of other organizations had better wake up and do something which will meet the hearty co-operation of all its members. "The advancement of the race in this country depends upon material advancement and not on ostentation, pomp, and glamour. Iregret that I did not know of the American Woodmen long ago.

AND LIEUT.-GOV. IN TILT OVER CONVICTS MISSISSIPPI GOV. AND LIEUT.-GOV. IN TILT OVER CONVICTS (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 30—It is said that the war of the Rebellion was caused on account of the Negro, and now a governor and his lieutenant governor are at war over two Negroes. "Governor Russell is as dead as Hector in Mississippi," declared Lieutenant Governor Homer Castile, who went to Memphis last Tuesday to carry on the fight precipitated last Saturday when Governor Russell raced from Memphis to the Mississippi line to block the pardoning of two Negroes by Lieutenant Governor Castile. Castile said that he went to Memphis to gather information to prove that Governor Russell was in Memphis when the pardoning was done. He expressed complete confidence that his position would be upheld when the test came. He was bitter in his denunciation of Governor Russell and said that the governor interfered solely for the purpose of getting into the limelight. He explained that he signed the pardon for the two Negroes at 9:40 o'clock Saturday morning and that he had the advice of counsel that the pardons became effective immediately, their force not depending on the fixing of the seal of the secretary of state. It is said that court proceedings will be instituted in the next few days, probably at Greenville, to test the right of Lieutenant Governor Castile to grant the pardon. Georgia's Oldest Citizen Is Burned to Death Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 30.—George Hadley, said to have been the oldest man in this section of Georgia, was burned to death in a fire that destroyed his home last Wednesday night.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1922 MEDICAL COLLEGE TURNED INTO SCHOOL FOR COLORED PUPILS MOBILE, Ala., Nov. 30-The old medical college building here has been turned into a school for Negro children, according to announcement made last Monday by the school board commissioners. The building is being used for ten classes and many colored children, who were without the advantages of education, have enrolled. Use of the building for Negro school purposes is said to be temporary. The commissioners are at this time negotiating for the purchase of property in Davis avenue on which will be built a modern school building for Negro children. It is said, however, that the commissioners are still considering the property of the parental home, and efforts are being made to untangle some of the legal phases encumbering the property. It is said that decision of the school board to use the medical college came after many stormy sessions, at which time protests were entered against its use for both white and colored children as a school. Finally, the board, faced with the choice of either scores of children to go without a school or come out firmly and utilize the building. It chose to use the building. No protests were then made. GIRL ADMITS SHE TOLD FALSEHOOD ABOUT BEING SOLD (Preston News Service) CLEARFIELD, Pa., Nov. 30—Miss Nora Moore, aged 18 years, who had been held in the local jail pending an investigation into the story that she had been sold by her mother to a white man who bound her to the Pennsylvania railroad tracks near here, where she was found about five minutes before a fast passenger train was due, has been released after a commission appointed to investigate her sanity declared that she was sane, and she confessed to having tied herself to the tracks. Local jail authorities doubted Miss Moore's statements, but she demonstrated a unique ability to knot her hands behind her back. She was released with instructions to leave this county at once. 'HALT THE OUTLAWS' SAYS NEW YORK DAILY Under the title "Halt the Outlaws," the New York American of November 17, publishes an editorial commending the fight of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the Ku Klux Klan and endorsing the appeal to Governor Miller of New York state, to proceed against that "anarchic body." The New York American editorial reads as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asks Governor Miller to do as Governor Allen of Kansas has done regarding the Ku Klux Klan. The latter has taken steps to supress that anarchic body. "It appears that in western New York the clamorous Kluxers are growing bold in their scurrilous denunciations of Catholics, Jews and Negroes. The National Aossication renders a service to law and order and decent Americanism in demanding official war upon so lawless, disorderly and un-American a body as the misguided Ku Kluxers. "Protestant Christianity and the Caucasian race need to be protected against their shrouded, over-zealous friends. They can still guard themselves against their open enemies." WILL GO TO TRIAL ON OLD MURDER CHARGE Shreveport, La., Nov. 30.—William Taylor, aged 34 years, will go to trial in the State court here on December 8, on the charge of murdering his sweetheart, Miss June Thomas, ten years ago.

It is said that during the ten years that he was a fugitive from justice Taylor served a year and a half in the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. BATTLING SIKI HAD INTERESTNG CAREER SAYS NOTED WRITER BATTLING SIKI HAD INTERESTNG CAREER SAYS NOTED WRITER (By Special Correspondent) Skii's grandfather was a slave, captured by Moors in the interior of Senegal, a region almost as dark as the darkest regions of the Congo. Escaping from the Moors the old man fled to St. Louis, Senegalese port, where he married and where Louis, later to develop into Battling Ski, was born, a generation afterward. Louis Fall was born December 16, 1889. From the age of 7 he became a hanger-on at the docks, achieving an early reputation as a battler by licking all the kids of his age within a radius of 20 miles. Kidnapped by Woman When he was 8 years old he was begging for pennies thrown by passengers of a French liner making port from Brazil. One of the other boys grabbed a penny Louis thought was his, and Louis swung straight and knocked him out. The feat was observed by Freda Stampich, a Berlin dancer, who was so captivated by the boy that she kidnapped him and took him to live with her at her villa at Marseilles. There she sent him to school. In 1911 the dancer decided to return to Germany and demanded a passport for herself and Louis, but it was refused by the French on the ground that Louis was a French subject and could not be adopted by a German. So the dancer left 6,000 francs to provide for Louis' needs until he could earn his living, and, departing for Germany, passed out of her youthful protege's life. In Army at 15 In 1914, when Louis—now calling himself Battling Sikl—was 15 years old, he enlisted in the French Army and in a few months arrived at the front. There he covered himself with glory and received the Croix de Guerre and the Military Medal. The war over, he recommenced his fighting and rapidly defeated all the champions of the South of France—Stuber, Leonard, 'Auroy—in quick succession. Seeking new worlds to conquer, he came to Paris, where he celebrated his arrival by knocking out Derensky. His next match was with Maurice Lefever, whom he beat on points in 10 rounds, after which he sent Andre Marcand to sleep in the fifth. He clamored for a match with the champion. "If he beats Journee and Niles, Carpentier will meet him," stated Deschamps to this demand. So last winter Sikl, despite a heavy weight disadvantage, beat Journee. In June of this year he won on points against Niles after 15 rounds. Tonight I saw the Senegalese in action at a so-called bar frequented by American whites. He appeared with a pretty French white woman, well-known at the opera as a dancer, who was leading a wolf-hound. When it was made known that his presence was not desired, Siki placed two great fists—diamonds as big as nuts on the third and little fingers—on the table and announced he was a Frenchman on French soil. "So this is where Americans come," he shouted. "Well, I'm as good as they. If you will not serve me, serve this lady." A French family present sided with Sikl. One after another its members threw their glasses to the floor in protest. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. AN EX-BANK OFFICIAL IS STILL UNDER FIRE JOHN MITCHELL, JR. AN EX-BANK OFFICIAL IS STILL UNDER FIRE RICHMOND, Va.. Nov. 30—Action against John Mitchell, Jr., head of the defunct Mechanics' Savings Bank, will be heard in court. A notice of motion of judgment was made in the City Circuit Court last Wednesday by Tucker and Gordon, receivers for the Mechanics' Savings Bank, against John Mitchell, Jr. for $11,250. The motion was docketed, and the case will be heard at some future date. The sum, it is alleged, is due in connection with transactions leading up to the appointment of the receivers. Notice of motion was also made by the receivers against Albert C. Harris, for $1,000, which was docketed and judgment given. 75 MEMEBERS OF NEW CONGRESS BELONG TO KLAN ORDER. AVERS 75 MEMEBERS OF NEW CONGRESS BELONG TO KLAN ORDER. AVERS (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30—According to information available it is learned that 75 members of the new congress are also members of the Ku Klux Klan. Arthur Brisbane says, "The Ku Klux weakened their power in advance by making a fight unwisely against Catholics and Jews. A militant organization must have something to fight, and the Ku Klux Klan chose Jews and Catholics, very poor choice if the Klan wants to win." It will be recalled that the klan began fighting against Negroes and later took up the fight against Jews and Catholics. It is evident from Mr. Brisbane's point of view that it is quite right for the klan to fight against the Negro in this country. If the above figures are correct, it is evident that this nefarious organization is gaining quite a foothold in politics in this country and will be able to wield considerable influence on legislative matters. The presence of these avowed enemies to the Negro will make it extremely difficult to secure passage of any legislation of benefit to the Negro in this country. MASKED MEN PARADE STREETS AND ORDER CITIZENS TO LEAVE (Preston News Service) BRECKENRIDGE, Tex., Nov. 30—Scores of Mexicans and Negroes have left this town during the past 24 hours, according to reports being sent out by local authorities. It is said that Negroes are by far in majority of those leaving. The sudden exodus followed a march of a crowd of masked men, estimated at over 500, through the Negro and Mexican districts last Tuesday night, and alleged threats that Mexicans and Negroes must leave Breckenridge at once or have their homes burned. Other threats of violence are alleged to have been sent to Negroes and Mexicans. It is thought that members of the Ku Klux Klan are responsible for this movement to drive Mexicans and Negroes out, as most of the work being done here is by Negro and Mexican labor. Many jobs held by Negroes and Mexicans were vacant on Wednesday, including that of a Negro school teacher, who is alleged to have left town also. Mayor Fulwiler is reported to have issued a statement to the effect that everything possible will be done to protect residents of this city, regardless of race or creed. The chamber of commerce pledged cooperation with the city authorities in affording protection. Extra police have been placed on duty, and it is said that no further trouble is expected. WOMEN RESPOND TO CALL OF THE ANTILYNCH'G CRUSADERS The Anti-Lynching Crusaders, an organization seeking to enroll a million American women in the campaign to end lynching in this country, today announced a wide spread response to the call.

Rosalie M. Jones, of New York; Alice Thacver (Mrs. Louis F.)) Post, of Washington. Miss Deland's letter to the Anti-Lynching Crusaders says in part: "If you care to quote me as saying that I think that lynching, irrespective of circumstances and of color, is a menace to our democracy, and that it is an absolute denial of the first principles of the Christian religion, you may do so." Mrs. Culbertson, of the Missionary Union, writes: "As a southern woman from Louisiana, I am deeply sympathetic," and states that the "church women in Washington do most heartily and praverfully endorse your righteous B.

If every author whose works were rejected upon first presentation gave up his work as a failure there would be few books and few of the valuable treatises that have enriched the literature of the world. If those who are now flying through the air with almost lightning speed gave up because they made a failure there would have been no flying machines, and in fact there would be little or nothing better than what the savage American Indians possessed before the white people came across the seas to settle and develop this country into the great United States of America. Failure is nothing to be feared. No one is expected to find an easy road to success in any undertaking. If you fall down get up again and press onward. If you are opposed by any conditions that seem to bar your progress, find some way to overcome them. No great general ever won success by giving up because some of his plans failed. No great things were ever accomplished without failures; but it is the determination to fight on, press on and overcome the obstacles that brings success.

If you see that something needs to be done to make your town better, more sanitary, more beautiful, more prosperous and more inviting as a place of residence, talk about it, and keep talking until you are convinced that there is no hope of the execution of your ideas, and even when hope seems to be lost keep up your propaganda for a betterment of your community.

If it is a new school building, a new church, a park, a sewer, a public library or any other project of general utility it will become a reality if pursued long enough to make the necessary converts to the plan.

In the country the road hog dashes along in the middle of the road, forcing others to take to the ditch, and accidents are frequent. The careless driver, the intoxicated driver and the road-hog should be looked after and forbidden the privilege of frightening men, women and children, to say nothing of running over them and killing or maiming them. No person should be permitted to drive an automobile, without first being examined to ascertain their fitness to handle an auto. Engine drivers upon all railroads are required to pass an examination and procure a license, and why should not the same rule apply to drivers of automobiles, and especially so, as the auto is driven upon the public streets and not confined to any particular track, as the locomotive is. In the case of the locomotive the tracks are supposed to be free from pedes- THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING trians or other osbtructions to a free run. Not so with the automobile. It is permitted to race through the public streets, regardless of the people who may be in danger. The driver considers that he has the right of way and that it is the people's business to get out of his way if they can, and if they cannot they must be expected to be run over and killed or maimed. The fact of the case is that the pedestrian has as much right to be in the streets as the driver of the automobile, and it is the duty of the driver to take every precaution against doing an injury to any one, and the people should insist upon their rights to the streets they are being taxed to maintain and keep in repair that the auto may pass over it in safety. It was never the intent that the streets should be given up entirely to the automobile, but that they are for the general use of all the people. The people are expected to take care in crossing streets; but it was never expected that they would be forced to dodge flying autos, driven at will by careless persons, who should not be permitted to menace the lives of the public as they are doing in every city and town in this broad land. Personal, Local and Society News OF THE STATE CAPITAL By R. L. S., Society Editor Mrs. Mary E. Caldwell, wife of Geo. W. Caldwell of this city and one of the most prominent colored women in the state, died at the family home, 233 East Jefferson street Tuesday afternoon. The deceased had been in ill health for the last ten months, the greater part of which time she was bedridden. Mrs. Caldwell was 59 years old. Mrs. Caldwell took an active part in the movement for the advancement of the colored race, and was particularly noted for her charitable work throughout the state. She was one of the organizers of the Self Improvement and Art Club, an incorporated society formed to care for homeless children and children whose parents were employed. The society was organized shortly before Mrs. Caldwell was taken ill. Mrs. Caldwell was grand matron of the grand chapter of Arizona Order of the Eastern Star, and was also an active member of the Court of Calantha and Daughters of Tabor. She was also a member of Tanner Chapel, A.M. E. church, and one its strongest supporters. The husband and a cousin, Mary Scott of this city, are the only known survivors of the deceased. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Mrs. Cora M.

Van Nice Copyright by Little, Brown & Co. 8YNOPS18 CHAPTER I.—At Thornton Fairchild's death his son Robert learns there has been a dark period in his father's life which for almost thirty years has caused him suffering. The secret is hinted at a child, which also informs Robert he is now owner of a mining claim in Colorado, and advising him to see Henry Beamish, a lawyer. CHAPTER II.—Beamish tells Robert his claim, a silver mine, is at Oahad, thirty miles from Denver. He also warns him against a certain man, "Squint" Rodaine, his father's enemy. Robert decides to go to Oahad. CHAPTER III.—On the road to Oahad from Denver Fairchild assists a girl, apparently in a frenzy of haste, to change a tire on her auto. When she has left, Fairchild arrives at a pose, appears in suit of a bandit. Fairchild bewildered, misleads them as to the direction the girl had taken. CHAPTER IV.—At Oahad Fairchild is warmly greeted by "Mother" Howard, boarding-house keeper, for his father's sake. CHAPTER V.—From Mother Howard, Fairchild learns something of the mystery connected with the disappearance of "Sister" Larsen with the co-worker Mike. He meets a teacher who assists, but she denies her identity. She is Anita Richmond, Judge Richmond's daughter. CHAPTER VI.—Visiting his claim, Fairchild is shadowed by a man he recognizes from descriptions as "Squint" Rodaine, hired in Onda to help him with the work. Harry Richmond, a Cornishman, summoned from England by Beamish to help Fairchild, has him with joy. CHAPTER VII.—The pair find the mine flooded and have not sufficient funds to have it pumped dry. Later in the day "Squint" Rodaine announces that he practically saw Harkins fall into the flooded mine, and evidently is drowned. CHAPTER VIII.—Harkins being a general favorite, the entire population turns on him. The work is practically done, Harry appears, apparently surprised at the turmoil. It had been a shrewd trick on his part to get the mine pumped out without being or for Fairchild, and the man take it as a good ode. CHAPTER XI.—Fairchild learns that Judge Richmond is dying, and that he and Anita are in the power of the Rodaines. They begin, as partners, to work with the band. The sen was killed by Thornton Fairchild and his body buried by a cave-in which destroyed the mine. At the "Old Times Ball" Fairchild dances with Anita, to the discomfiture of Maurice Rodaine, so that he can be carried to the girl. A bandit holds up the dance and shoots a merrymaker. Maurice Rodaine claims he recognized the bandit as Harkins. The latter is arrested. Fairchild interferes to save Anita from the bullying of the two Rodaines, and is mystified at Anita's apparent gratitude. CHAPTER XII.—Fairchild puts up the claim as bond, and secures Harry's release from jail. They are offered $50,000 for the bandit's arrest. They agree to disregard it. Clearing the mine they come to where they fear to find Larsen's remains. CHAPTER XI.—A skeleton, in a minor costume, which Harkins identifies as Larsen, is there, and there seems little doubt that Thornton Fairchild was a murderer. CHAPTER XII.-Fairchild informs the coroner of the discovery of the skeleton At the inquest, "Crazy Laura," casted at the inquest, "the man will an knowledgeable imbecile, gives damaging testimony against Thornton Fairchild. The jury returns a verdict that Larsen came to his death at Thornton Fairchild's hands. Anita's engagement to Maurice Rodaine is announced. CHAPTER XIII.-Summoned to Denver to receive "important information" Fairchild receives the mine. Fairchild refuses. Returning, he and hears of a marvelous strike made in the Silver Queen, Rodaine's mine, which ad joins the Blue Poppy. CHAPTER XIV.-The capital of the two partners is rapidly vanishing. Anita appears to avoid Fairchild. He and Harry uncover what appears to be a cell of Larsen. Fairchild faces the Fairchild hastens to have the find assayed. CHAPTER XV.-The assayer tells Fairchild that he was as guilty as Hastening back, he finds the mine destroyed by a cave-in, and Harry gone. CHAPTER XVI—A note from Antiope puts Fairchild on Rodaine's track. He follows his enemy to the home of "Crazy Harry," whom the woman had in the house, in an unconscious state. CHAPTER XVII—In the absence of the Rodaines, Fairchild gets Harry from the house and to a hospital. He has been drugged by the crazy woman, but makes a quick recovery. He tells of escaping from the mine through an unsuspected hole. Rhodia Hollow, Antia friendless, Antia visits the partners in the mine, seeking Fairchild's ally against the Rodaines. Startled by a mysterious noise, the three take refuge in the passage which Harry had found. CHAPTER XVIII—They find evidence of the existence of a "cross-cut" from the Silver Queen. Rodaine has been working with the police, but he has been chenched, Blindee Boezem and Jayon Bill, are captured. Taylor Bill calls the robbery of the Blue Poppy and also the Old Times Dance, for which Harry is under indictment. CHAPTER XIX—Realizing the same lie up, Maurice Rudolph endeavors to reach Denver and get away, but is caught in the destroy incriminating evidence of "Squint" Rodaine, cornered, jumps from a window and escapes for a time. CHAPTER XX—Rodaine makes for the book of "Custody," and destroys incriminating evidence which he knows she possesses. The woman resists him, and in the struggle the house is burnt. The man is destroyed in the books in which her warped brain has led her to set down her crimes, committed at the instigation of the husband is captured. Among others, the murders of the children in the construction of the mine are recorded. Thornton Fairchild's name is cleared. The mystery of Anita's escapade on the Denver road turns out to have been in the child, rich in his silver vein and Anita's love, feels there is little more on earth. one side. Harry at the other, he started out of the courtroom. The crowd still was on the street, milling, circling, dividing itself into little groups to discuss the verdict. Through them shot scrambling forms of newsboys. Dazedly, simply for the sake of something to take his mind from the throngs and the gossip about him, Fairchild bought a paper and stepped to the light to glance over the first page. There, emblazoned under the "Extra" heading, was the story of the finding of the skeleton in the Blue Poppy mine, while beside it was something which caused Robert Fairchild to almost forget, for the moment, the horrors of the ordeal which he was undergoing. It was a paragraph leading the "personal" column of the small, amateurish sheet, announcing the engagement of Miss Anita Natalie Richmond to Mr. Maurice Rodaine, the wedding to come "probably in the late fall." CHAPTER XIII. Fairchild did not show the item to Harry. There was little that it could accomplish, and besides, he felt that his comrade had enough to think about. The unexpected turn of the coroner's inquest had added to the heavy weight of Harry's troubles; it meant the probability in the future of a grand jury investigation and the possible indictment as accessory after the fact in the murder of "Sissie" Larsen. Not that Fairchild had been influenced in the slightest by the testimony of Crazy Laura; the presence of Squint Rodaine and his son had shown too plainly that they were connected in some way with it, that, in fact, they were responsible. An opportunity had arisen for them, and they had seized upon it. More, there came the shrewd opinion of old Mother Howard, once Fairchild and Harry had reached the boarding house and gathered in the parlor for their consultation: "Ain't it what I said right in the beginning?" Mother Howard asked. "She'll kill for that man, if necessary. It wasn't as hard as you think—all Squint Rodaine had to do was to act nice to her and promise her a few things that he'll squirm out of later on, and she went on the stand and lied her head off." "But for a crazy woman—" "Laura's crazy—and she ain't crazy. I've seen that woman as sensible and as shrewd as any sane woman who ever drew breath. Then again, I've seen her when I wouldn't get within fifty miles of her. Goodness only knows what would happen to a person who fell into her clutches when she's got one of those immortality streaks on." "One of those what?" Harry looked up in surprise. "Immortality. That's why you'll find her sneaking around graveyards at night, gathering herbs and taking them to that old house on the Georgeville road, where she lives, and brewing them into some sort of concoction that she sprinkles on the graves. She believes that it's a sure system of bringing immortality to a person. Poison—that's about what it is." Harry shrugged his shoulders. "Poison's what she is!" he exclaimed. "Ain't it enough that I'm accused of every crime in the calendar without 'er getting me mixed up in a murder? And—" this time he looked at Fairchild with dolorous eyes—"ow 'er we going to furnish bond this time, if the grand jury indicts me?" "I'm afraid there won't be any." Mother Howard set her lips for a minute, then straightened proudly. "Well, I guess there will! It's bondable—and I guess I've got a few things that are worth something—and a few friends that I can go to. I don't see why I should be left out of everything, just because I'm a woman!" "Lor love you!" Harry grinned, his eyes showing plainly that the world was again good for him and that his troubles, as far as a few slight charges of penitentiary offenses were concerned, amounted to very little in his estimation. Harry had a habit of living just for the day. And the support of Mother Howard had wiped out all future difficulties for him. The fact that convictions might await him and that the heavy doors at Canon City might yawn for him made little difference right now. Behind the great bulwark of his mustache, his big lips spread in a happy announcement of joy, and the world was good. Silently, Robert Fairchild rose and left the parlor for his own room. Some way he could not force himself to shed his difficulties in the same light, airy way as Harry. Looking back he could see now that his dreams had led only to catastrophes. From the very beginning, there had been only trouble, only fighting, fighting, fighting against insurmountable odds, which seemed to throw him ever deeper into the mire of defeat, with every onslaught. The Rodalines had played with stacked cards, and so far every hand had been theirs. Fairchild suddenly realized that he was all but whipped, that the psychological advantage was all on the side of Squint Rodaine, his son, and the crazy woman who did their bidding. More, another hope had gone glimmering; even had the announcement not come forth that Anita Richmond had given her promise to marry Maurice Rodaine, the action of a coroner's jury that night had removed her from hope forever. A son of a man who has been called a slayer has little right to love a woman, even if that woman has a bit of mystery about her. All things can be explained—but murder! It was growing late, but Fairchild did not seek bed. Instead he sat by the window, staring out at the shadows of the mountains, out at the free THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING pure night, and yet at nothing. After a long time, the door opened, and a big form entered—Harry—to stand silent a moment, then to come forward and lay a hand on the other man's shoulder. "I know. Harry. But it's an awful tangle right now." "Sure it is. But it ain't as if a sane person 'ad said it against you. There'll never be anything more to that; Farrell 'ave 'er adjudged insane if it ever comes to anything like that. She'll never give no more testimony. I've been talking with 'im—e stopped in just after you came upstairs. It's only a crazy woman." "But they took her word for it, Harry. They believed her. And they gave the verdict—against my father." "I know. I was there, right beside you. I 'eard it. But it'll come out right, some way." There was a moment of silence, then a gripping fear at the heart of Fairchild. "Just how crazy is she, Harry?" "Just how crazy is she, Harry?" "Er? Plumb daft! Of course, as Mother 'Oward says, there's times when she's straight—but they don't last long. And, if she'd given 'er testimony in writing, Mother 'Oward says it all might 'ave been different, and we'd not 'ave 'ad anything to worry about." "In writing?" "Yes, she's 'arfway sane then. It seems 'er mind's disconnected, some wye. I don't know 'ow—Mother Oward's got the 'ole lingo, and everybody in town knows about it. Whenever anybody wants to get anything real straight from Crazy Laura, they make 'er write it. That part of 'er brain seems all right. She remembers everything she does then and 'ow crazy it is, and tells you all about it. Notice 'ow flustered up she got when the coroner asked 'er about that book?' "I wonder what it would really tell?" Harry chuckled. "Nobody knows. Nobody's ever seen it. Not even Squint Rodaine. I tells it's a part of 'er right brain that tells 'er to keep it a secret! I'm going to bed now. So 're you. And you're going to sleep. Good night." He went out of the room then, and Patricchild, obedient to the big Cornishman's command, sought rest. But it was a hard struggle. Morning came, and he joined Harry at breakfast, facing the curious glances of the other boarders, staving off their inquiries and their illly couched consolations. For, in spite of the fact that it was not voiced in so many words, the conviction was present that Crazy Laura had told at least a semblance of the truth, and that the dovetailing incidents of the past fitted into a well-connected story for which there must be some foundation. There were those who were plainly curious; there were others who professed not to believe the testimony and who talked loudly of action against the coroner for having introduced the evidence of a woman known by every one to be lacking in balanced mentality. There were others who, by their remarks, showed that they were concealing the real truth of their thoughts and only using a cloak of interest to guide them to other food for the carrion proclivities of their minds. An hour later Harry, wandering by the younger man's side, strove for words and at last uttered them. "I know it's disagreeable," came finally. "But it's necessary. You 'avent quit?" "Quit what?" "The mine. You're going to keep on, ain't you?" Fairchild gritted his teeth and was silent. The answer needed strength. Finally it came. "Harry, are you with me?" "I ain't stopped yet!" "Then that's the answer. As long as there's a bit of fight left in us, we'll keep at that mine." Harry hitched at his trousers. "They've got that blooming skeleton out by this time. I'm willing to start—any time you say." The breath went over Fairchild's teeth in a long, slow intake. He clenched his hands and held them trembling before him for a lengthy moment. Then he turned to his partner. "Give me an hour," he begged. "I'll go then—but it takes a little grit to—" "Who's Fairchild here?" A messenger boy was making his way along the curb with a telegram. Robert stretched forth a hand in surprise. "I am. Why?" The answer came as the boy shoved forth the yellow envelope. Fairchild, wondering, read: "Please come to Denver at once. Have most important information for you." "R. V. BARNHAM, "H. & R. Building." A moment of staring, then Fairchild passed the telegram over to Harry for his opinion. There was none. Together they went across the street and to the office of Farrell, their attorney. He studied the telegram long. Then: "I can't see what on earth it means, unless there is some information about this skeleton or the inquest. If I were you, I'd go." "But supposing it's some sort of trap?" "No matter what it is, go and let the other fellow do all the talking. Listen to what he has to say and tell him nothing. I'd go down on the noon train—that'll get you there about two. You can be back by 10:30 tomorrow." "No 'e can't.' it was Harry's interruption as he graced a pencil and pa- per. "I've got a list of things a mile long for 'im to get. We're going after this mine 'ammer and tongs now!" When noon came, Robert Fairchild, with his mysterious telegram, boarded the train for Denver, while in his pocket was a list demanding the outlay of nearly a thousand dollars: supplies of fuses, of dynamite, of drills, of a forge, of single and double jack sledges, of fulminate caps—a little of everything that would be needed in the months to come, if he and 'Arry were to work the mine. It was only a beginning, a small quantity of each article needed, part of which could be picked up in the junk yards at a rea- VAN HIEE "Who's Fairchild Here?" sonable figure, other things that would eat quickly into the estimate placed upon the total. And with a capital already dwindling, it meant an expenditure which hurt, but which was necessary, nevertheless. Slow, puffing and wheezing, the train made its way along Clear Creek canon, crawled across the newly built trestle which had been erected to take the place of that which had gone out with the spring flood of the milky creek, then lingered into Denver. Fairchild hurried uptown, found the old building to which he had been directed by the telegram, and made the upward trip in the ancient elevator, at last to knock upon a door. A half-whining voice answered him, and he went within. A greasy man was there, greasy in his fat, uninviting features, in his seemingly well-oiled hands, as they circled in constant kneading, in his long, straggling hair, in his old, spotted Prince Albert—and in his manners. "Mr. Barnham?" "That's what I'm called." He wheezed with the self-impelled humor of his remark and motioned toward a chair. "May I ask what you've come to see me about?" "I haven't the slightest idea. You sent for me." Fairchild produced the telegram, and the greasy person who had taken a position on the other side of a worn, walnut table became immediately obsequious. "Of course! Of course! Mr. Fairchild! Why didn't you say so when you came in? Of course—I've been looking for you all day. May I offer you a cigar?" He dragged a box of domestic perfectos from a drawer of the table and struck a match to light one for Fairchild. Then with a bustling air of urgent business he hurried to both doors and locked them. "So that we may not be disturbed," he confided in that high, whining voice. "I am hoping that this is very important." "I also." Fairchild puffed dubiously upon the more dubious cigar. The greasy individual returned to his table, dragged the chair nearer it, then, seating himself, leaned toward Fairchild. "If I'm not mistaken, you're the owner of the Blue Poppy mine." "I'm supposed to be." "Of course—of course. Could you possibly do me the favor of telling me how you're getting along?" Fairchild's eyes narrowed. "I thought you had information—for me!" "Very good." Mr. Barnham raised a fat hand and wheezed in an effort at intense enjoyment of the reply. "So I have. I merely asked that to be asking. Now, to be serious, haven't you some enemies, Mr. Fairchild?" "Have I?" "I was merely asking." "And I judged from your question that you seemed to know." "So I do. And one friend." Barnham pursed his heavy lips and nodded in an authoritative manner. "'One very, very good friend." "I was hoping that I had more than that." "Ah, perhaps so. But I speak only from what I know. There is one person who is very anxious about your welfare." "So?" "Well, isn't there?" Fairchild squared away from the table. "Mr. Barnham," came coldly; the inherent distrust for the greasy, uninviting individual having swerved to the surface. "You wired me that you had some very important news for me. Now that I'm here, your mission seems to be wholly taken up in drawing from me any information that I happen to possess about myself. Plainly and frankly, I don't like it. and I don't like you—and unless you can produce a great deal more than you have already, I'll have to chalk up the expense to a piece of bad judgment and go on about my business." He started to rise, and Barnham scrambled to his feet. "Please don't," he begged, thrusting forth a fat hand, "please, please don't. This is a very important matter. One—one has to be careful in going about a thing as important as this is. The person is in a very peculiar position." "But I'm tired of the way you beat around the bush. As I told you before, I don't like it—and I'm just about at the point where I don't care what information you have!" "But just be patient a moment—I'm coming to it. Suppose—" then he cupped his hands and stared hard at the ceiling. "Suppose that I told you that there was some one who was willing to see you through all your troubles, who had arranged everything for you, and all you had to do would be to say the word to find yourself in the midst of comfort and riches?" Fairchild blinked in surprise at this and sank back into his chair. Finally he laughed uneasily and puffed again on the dubious cigar. "Pd say," came finally, "that there isn't any such animal." "But there is. She has—" Then he stopped, as though to cover the slip. Fairchild leaned forward. "She?" Mr. Barnham gave the appearance of a very flustered man. "My tongue got away from me; I shouldn't have said it. I really shouldn't have said it. If she ever finds it out, it will mean trouble for me. But truly," and he beamed, "you are such a tough customer to deal with and so suspicious—no offense meant, of course—that I really was forced to it. I—feel sure she will forgive me." "Whom do you mean by 'she'?" Mr. Barnham smiled in a knowing manner. "You and I both know," came his cryptic answer. "She is your one great, good friend. She thinks a great deal of you, and you have done several things to cause that admiration. Now, Mr. Fairchild, coming to the point, suppose she should point a way out of your troubles? In the first place, you and your partner are in very great difficulties." "Are we?" Fairchild said it sarcastically. "Indeed you are, and there is no need of attempting to conceal the fact. Your friend, whose name must remain a secret, does not love you—don't ever think that—but—" Then he hesitated as though to watch the effect on Fairchild's face. There was none; Robert had masked it. In time the words went on: "But she does think enough of you to want to make you happy. She has recently done a thing which gives her a great deal of power in one direction. In another, she has connections who possess vast money powers and who are looking for an opening here in the West. Now—" he made a church steeple out of his fingers and leaned back in his chair, staring vacuously at the ceiling, "if you will say the word and do a thing which will relieve her of a great deal of embarrassment, I am sure that she can so arrange things that life will be very easy for you henceforth." "I'm becoming interested." In the first place, she is engaged to be married to a very fine young man. You, of course, may say differently, and I do not know—I am only taking her word for it. But—if I understand it, your presence in Ohadi has caused a few disagreements between them and—well, you know how willful and headstrong girls will be. I believe she has committed a few—er—indiscretions with you." "That's a lie!" Fairchild's temper got away from him and his fist banged on the table. "That's a lie and you know it!" "Pardon me—er—pardon me! I made use of a word that can have many meanings, and I am sure that in using it, I didn't place the same construction that you did in hearing it. But let that pass. I apologize. What I should have said was that, if you will pardon me, she used you, as young women will do, as a foil against her fiance in a time of petty quarreling between them. Is that plainer?" It was too plain to Fairchild. It hurt. But he nodded his head and the other man went on. "Now the thing has progressed to a place where you may be—well—what one might call the thorn in the side of their happiness. You are the 'other man,' as it were, to cause quarrels and that sort of thing. And she feels that she has not done right by you, and, through her friendship and a desire to see peace all around, believes she can arrange matters to suit all concerned. To be plain and blunt, Mr. Fairchild, you are not in an enviable position. I said that I had information for you, and I'm going to give it. You are trying to work a mine. That demands capital. You haven't got it and there is no way for you to procure it. Your partner now is accused of four crimes and will go to trial on them in the fall. It is almost certain that he will be convicted on at least one of the charges. That would mean that the deeds to the mine must remain in jurisdiction of the court in lieu of a cash bond while the case goes to the Supreme court. Otherwise, you must yield over your partner to go to jail. In either event, the result would not be satisfactory. For yourself. I dare say that a person whose father is supposed to have committed a murder—not that I say he did it, understand—hardly could establish sufficient standing to borrow the money to proceed on an undertaking which requires capital. Therefore, I should say that you were in somewhat of a predicament.

SENATE FIGHT BEGINS ON THE DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL After a critical situation in the United States senate, during which a number of leaders were disposed to sidetrack the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in favor of the Ship Subsidy measure, it was finally decided by republican leaders, at the urgent and earnest request of James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, take up the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill first. Although President Harding failed to make any mention of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in his message, the pressure exerted by the N. A. A. C. P. and other organizations was effective in the senate. During the opening week of the special session of congress page and half page advertisements in the daily newspapers throughout the country were inserted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. These advertisements, according to telegraphic reports from Mr. Johnson in Washington, caused a sensation among the senators and in political circles generally and made it impossible to ignore the Dyer Bill. The advertisements were paid for by the following: The Anti-Lynching Crusaders, the American Fund for Public Service, established by Mr. Charles Garland; branches of the N. A. A. C. P.; and a list of individual contributors including Moorfield Storey and Philip G. Peabody of Boston, Thomas W. Lamont, Paul Warburg and Felix Warburg of New York, Samuel Mather of Cleveland, Mary D. McMurtie of Philadelphia, and William F. Cochran of Baltimore. On Thursday, November 23, just before it was decided to take up the Dyer Bill and when the fate of the measure was still in doubt. Mr. Johnson followed up a day of conferences with republican leaders with a letter to each one of them in which he said in part: "I am firm in the conclusion that if the Ship Subsidy Bill were given preference over the Anti-Lynching Bill, that it would mean the death of the Anti-Lynching Bill. That would mean that this just and humane legislation on which twelve million colored people are united would be lost so far as this congress is concerned. I trust you will pardon my great anxiety regarding this matter, but knowing the present state of mind of the colored people as I do, I am sure that there is nothing that would be so disastrous as the failure on the part of congress to enact this legislation into law at this session." Mr. Herbert K. Stockton of New York, member of the legal firm of Hoight, Smith, Griffin and Deming, also a member of the legal committee of the N. A. A. C. P., is in Washington and is rendering invaluable assistance to Mr. Johnson in the fight for the Bill. OLD SPORT WRITER AGAIN ON THE JOB (Preston News Service) New York City, Nov. 30.—Readers of live sport news throughout the country will welcome the news that Romeo L. Dougherty, famous sport writer and theatrical critic of New York City, is again reporting the doing in athletics and theatrical circles in and about New York City again. Mr. Dougherty began his career as sport editor of the Amsterdam News several years ago, later going to the New York News where he remained for several years. Last summer he was induced to join forces with an organization to put out a daily paper in New York. Mr. Dougherty believing that a daily publication would give him a better opportunity to serve the reading public joined the publication force. But he soon saw that these men had only a vision and no knowledge of newspaper management and he immediately severed his connection. The enterprising James H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, finally succeeded in securing Mr. Dougherty to become sporting editor of the Amsterdam News. Bishop Hamlet Holds Conference In Arkansas Ashdown, Ark., Nov. 30—The seventh session of the southwest Arkansas annual conference of the C. M. E. church, with Bishop James A. Hamlet, of Jackson, Tenn., presiding, opened here last Tuesday morning in the Freeman Chapel. Bishop Isaac Lane, of Jackson, Tenn., preached the sacramental sermon after which the following officers were named: Revs. G. L. Tyrus and A. M. Wade, secretaries; Rev. J. M. Curry, statistician; Revs. J. S. Briggs and A. Norris, reporters. The general secretary of the Epworth League, Dr. R. S. Stout; the general secretary of the Church Extension Department, W. Conway and Bishop Lane made addresses. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING PRESCOTT By Mrs. L. V. Hines Mrs. R. M. Garrett has been sick with a severe cold, suffering with La Grippie. We hope she will soon recover. Mrs. Nettie Folds, wife of Mr. Folds, a patient at Fort Whipple, has been quite ill, suffering with an attack of appendicitis, as pronounced by one of the best doctors. Her many friends hope she will soon recover. Mrs. Alice Larkin, our colored trained nurse, sprained her back from a sever and awkward step, but by so doing saved the life of Mr. Willoughby, who was going up the same flight of stairs. We are sorry to note the same, and hope that she will soon recover. Baby. Frankie Conner has had a long spell of sickness, but is better. The doctor has been in attendance for some time. Frankie is a darling boy, and it is the desire of his many friends that he have a spedy recovery. Mrs. Conner has been quite ill also, suffering with an attack of rheumatism. It is hoped she will soon recover. Mrs. W. D. Alexander has been quite ill, but is better and it is hoped she will soon recover. It is reported that many of the Phoenix teachers will be in the number of visitors here this week, also the noted editor of this famous paper, Mr. A. R. Smith. We are glad, and will show them a nice time, as is customary with the hospitable folks of Prescott. Rev. W. E. Youngblood and wife, Mrs. Ella Ramsey Youngblood, left Tuesday for Tucson to remain for the winter and possibly longer. Rev. Youngblood was elected Field Missionary for the Paradise Baptist Convention, and will be on the job at his post of duty. Rev. and Mrs. Youngblood have a host of friends here, and it is regretted that they leave, but we hope that they will plan to spend their summers in Prescott. Rev. Youngblood is a splendid minister, and has been in the evangelistic work for years back in Kansas and many other states. They will be missed for their real worth toward the uplift of our people spiritually and fraternally. Miss Helen Harper Vance will spend her Thanksgiving holliday at her home with her parents, arriving here Wednesday evening. Miss Vance is very popular in Prescott, and all are glad to have her home with us. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnson, of Humboldt, made a flying trip to Prescott, and had a wonderful visit. Mr. Johnson's mother has been very sick, and it was for this reason they made the trip. She is very much better, and appreciates all courtesy extended her. She spent several days in the hospital, but returned to her home last week. Mrs. Mary Williams and Mr. Avery have been in constant attendance, never forgetting her. We hope she will soon recover. Mrs. Clarence Maxwell has been very sick since her return from the coast, but is better, and it is hoped she will soon recover. Mrs. Mayme Lindell Smith and husband were at home with a wonderfully prepared dinner in honor of Rev. and Mrs. W. E. Youngblood. The dinner was beautifully served and very delicious. All report a wonderful time. Mother Ramsey celebrated her birthday Saturday and received several nice presents. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs Todd entertained Mother with lovely ice cream and cake, and had a wonderful visit, retiring at a late hour with congratulations. Sunday Thos. E. Hines and wife were at home to several of Mother's dear friends with a turkey dinner promptly at 6:30 P. M. Covers were laid for eleven. The dinner was delicious, and all enjoyed it. The house was beautifully decorated with lanterns and pottedplants, yellow chrysanthemums being the flowers used. Six candles were burning, and the guests gave the insight of years. After dinner the party went to church, reporting a wonderful time. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Todd, Rev. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Burkhardt. Mrs. Alice Larkin, Mother Ramsey, Baby Nettie and the host and hostess. Baby Lovie has been ill for several days and was out of school, but is better and back in school again. We hope she will continue to improve. Mr. Hines has been sick with a severe cold, but is recovering. Baby Marie Anderson celebrated her birthday Saturday and was at home to several of her little friends. A beautiful repast was had, many interesting games were played, and music was a great feature. Baby Marie received many beautiful presents, and all had a wonderful time. Promptly at 4:00 o'clock the little friends departed, declaring it one of the swellest affairs had this season, and wishing she had a birthday each week. They all wished her many happy returns. Mrs. L. A. McCarty is still very sick and appreciates all of the friends' calls. She is quite sick and it is the prayer of all that she will make a change for the better. Mr. Lee Johnson is still indisposed, and it is hoped he will soon recover. Mr. and Mrs. Woodland's home was footed by a thief, taking all of their valuables and wearing apparel. It is regretted, and we hope they may recover their clothes and belongings. All sympathize with them. Mrs. F. H. Alexander made a flying trip to Phoenix to hear the famous Madam Patti Brown sing. She reports that she appeared more wonderful than before, and says all Prescott missed a wonderful trip. Mrs. Alexander was a guest in the party given for Madam Patti Brown and reports a wonderful time. Don't forget the two churches and attend the services of each, and have renewed strength. Rev. Smith and wife are nice and polite, and will be glad to have you call and visit; also Rev. and Mrs. Simpson. Each is doing a wonderful work toward lifting the standard of christian character. Don't foregret Mr. Jacob Tull for lightning delivery. Send your children to Sunday school at one of the churches, for you are responsible to God for your children. WANTED—A good cook; one desiring position with good salary. Write or wire the Depot Cafe—Mr. Jas, Youngblood. A good job awaits you. Don't delay, write today. The Depot Cafe is one of the busiest in town. Get your dinner at the I. O. O. F hall Wednesday and celebrate at Fort Whipple Thursday. Thanksgiving Day. Don't miss the program. SUPERIOR Mr. John Goldsmith and wife, of Phoenix, spent Sunday night on the open desert fifteen miles west of Superior, owing to car troubles.
