VOL. VI—NO. 13 REAL ESTATE SHARK VICTIMIZES GROUP OF COLORED PEOPLE (Preston News Service) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 27—The brief career of William Moore, aged 42 years, as a real estate agent, during which time he sold a piece of property at 269-271 North Ohio avenue, to four different persons, ended disastrously Thursday when Moore was taken into custody by detectives on a charge of embezzlement. In a warrant filed by Mrs. Bettie Coleman, the would-be real estate dealer is charged with embezzling $150 from her. Moore's career started a week ago according to police when he called at various houses under the pretense of being a real estate agent, with the North Ohio Avenue property for sale. Among the victims, police declare, is Mrs. Daisy Carter, from whom he secured a payment of $75.00. He also victimized John Hearnes out of $15.00 and a note for $60.00. Mrs. Cora Mitchell told police that the impostor obtained a payment of $200.00 from her on the same property. In reality, police aver, the property in question is owned by E. J. Roush, and that Moore had not been connected with the sale in any way. When questioned, police say, Moore confessed his guilt. He declared to the officials that he was drunk at the time the various deals were made and, therefore, was unaccountable for his actions. More was arrested at the home of Mrs. Coleman when he appeared there to secure another payment on the property. It has been learned by detectives that Moore is an expert confidence man, whose home is in Louisville, Ky., and he has always made a specialty of swindling women, especially widows, who have been known to have a little money. Local authorities are communicating with Kentucky officials in an effort to obtain a complete record of Moore's past. In The Editors Mail Mr. Editor:— This comes to announce for the benefit of the enumerable host of comrades the passing of First Sergeant (Jasper) William S. Jones, U. S. Army, retired, Troop "I," 9th Cavalry, who answered the call of the grim reaper on Monday, November 5th, 1923, at Cheyenne, Wyoming. The funeral services were conducted from the undertaking parlors of Binkinger & Co., by Reverend S. E. Newell, pastor of Allen M. E. church. Mrs. James E. Smith was in charge of the song service. Invocation by Sergeant McCombs, deacon of the Baptist church. The Reverend Newell read the scripture lesson, the 133d Psalm, the last verse of which he used as the funeral message: "For there the Lord commanded a blessing, even life evermore.' The obituary was prepared and read by Mr. M. T. Dean, former Regimental Sergeant Major, 9th Cavalry, and late Major in the World War, who prefaced his reading with a very timely biography on the life of First Sergeant Jones as he knew him. The remains were removed from the undertaking parliors followed by the congregation to Fort D. A. Russell, where the cortege was met by the Commanding General, his Staff and the Post Chaplain and the military escort and firing squad. Sergeant Jones is survived by his wife and adopted daughter, and a host of friends and relatives to mourn their loss. We sincerely trust that their loss is Heaven's gain. CHEYENE, Wyo., Nov. 20- William S. Jones, Retired First Sergeant, u. S. Army, died Monday afternoon; cause of death enaeamic poisoning. First Sergeant Jones was born November 25th, 1862, at Manassas, Virginia. Died November 5th, 1923, at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Born during the Civil War between the State, the son of a veteran of that great conflict, and a grandson of a veteran of the Revolutionary War, which freed the young republic from the yoke of Great Britain, it was but fitting that young Jones, as WHOLESALE ARREST AND VACCINATION OF BLACKS IS STOPPED Preston News Service) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 27—Following a storm of protests from Negroes of this city to the Health Department regarding the wholesale vaccinations of Negroes coming from the South at the Union Station, the local health officials have finally decided to stop vaccinating persons coming from the South. It is said that from July 29 to October 29 an average of 200 persons were examined daily. It is said that 480 were examined in one day. The most of these subject to examination were Negroes, who bitterly resented the alleged discrimination against them. It is claimed that when Negroes put up such a vigorous protest against the health department, that department began to stop whites from the South also. The chief of the department said that less than ten diseased persons arrived each day now, and he felt that the matter of examinations could be dispensed with as it was not necessary. "ROBED MEN DELIVER PRIS- ONERS !-MRS. JACKSON (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27—"About midnight I saw forty robed men deliver the prisoners. The whole county is rotten and I wish we could take them all out and lynch them," declared Mrs. Helen Jackson, a prisoner, to officials following the jail delivery here last Wednesday night. Among the Negroes who escaped were: Herbert Henderson, James Har his, Melvin Walker, and Joe Ballor, and eight white prisoners. Every available man of the Arlington county police force is on the outlook for the escaped prisoners. It said the delivery was effected from the outside. soon as of the right age, enter the military service of his country. On July 21st, 1885, he presented himself for enlistment, was accepted and joined the Ninth U. S. Cavalry at Stillwater, Oklahoma—then a robber-invested country. During the latter part of '85 and to April of '87 he served with Troop "L." 9th Cavalry, rounding up Indians and renegade whites. Just before the Squadron entrained for Fort Robinson, Nebraska, Private Jones was appointed Trumpeter of Troop "I." Ariving at Fort Robinson, the next few years were spent in rounding up and making good Indians out of the "Bad Indians" in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Wyoming. In 1890 he was with Troop "I" under Captain Henry at the Pine Ridge Agency during the "Messiah Craze," and at the White River Bad Lands. In 1895 the Bannock Indians went "bad," and headed for the Jackson Hole country of Wyoming, but were soon rounded up by Troop "I" and other troops of the "Buffalo Regiment," 9th Cavalry. For the next few years his troop spent ten out of every twelve months in the field. August 21, 1897, Trumpeter (Jasper) Jones was appointed Corporal and in October of the same year was promoted Sergeant. In 1898, during the Spanish American War, Troop "T" was part of the First Brigade of the Cavalry Division under General Joseph Wheeler, as Brigade Commander, and General Shafter as Division Commander, which on June 24th landed at Las Guisimas, Cuba, and immediately went into action. Sergeant Jones was engaged on July 1, 2, 3, 10 and 11, and was present at the surrender before Santiago, Cuba. April 15, 1901, Troop "T" embarked for the Philippine Islands, where it saw active service under the Lieutenant Charles Young in Southern Luzon, Leyte, Samar and around Bauan, Batangas-Province. Upon the return of the troop from service in the Philippine Islands in 1902, Sergeant Jones was appointed First Sergeant by Captain Charles Young. He served continuously in this grade until his retirement from active service on January 9th, 1913, while serving with his troop on the Mexican Border at Douglas, Arizona. Because of his ever cheerful and always pleasing personality, his comrades regretted his retirement, but sincerely wished for him a useful and long life as a civilian. Upon retirement he took up his residence in Cheyenne, Wyoming. PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 CONGRESSMAN DYER PLEADS FOR SUPPORT ANTI-LYNCHING BILL (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGIL, Pa.-Speaking before a large and enthusiastic audience Congressman L. C. Dyer of St. Louts, Mo. urged the Negroes of Pittsburgh and vicinity to support unitedly the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in all efforts for the betterment of the race and especially in connection with this anti-lynching measure which failed at passage at the last session of congress, in an address delivered in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. E. L. Madison is pastor. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of which Atty. Frank R. Steward is president. Congressman Dyer was introduced by Rev. T. W. Wallace, a lifelong friend of the Dyer family. Congressman Dyer advanced many reasons why the anti-lynching bill, known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, should be enacted into law. He gave a volume of facts showing why the measure was defeated at the last session of Congress and he also stated that he would re-introduce the measure at the next session of congress. He pointed out the many things that the Negroes of this country could do to create favorable sentiment for the measure, chief among them being for each Negro to send his senator and representative a letter, a telegram asking them to support the bill; also get your white friends in your community to use their influence for the passage of the measure. One of the greatest curses that ever befell a nation is that of mob violence. The United States leads in this barbaric curse. The victims of this curse are Negroes. The fair name of America must be secured; this curse must be obliterated. Negroes must join, whole-hearted and earnestly, in this campaign of education to create favorable sentiment for this measure in order that the law may be rigidly enforced following its enactment, he concluded. STENOGRAPHER TO MAYOR OF PITTSBURGH SPENDS THANKS-GIVING WEEK IN NEW YORK (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa—Mrs. Beatrice Hill Bayless, stenographer to Mayor William A. Magee, of Pittsburgh, is spending Thanksgiving week in New York City as the guest of her aunt and cousin, Mrs. Alice Miles and Miss Ada Miles, of St. Nicholas Avenue. It is said that Mrs. Bayless is the first and only Negro woman in the United States to hold a position of this kind. Among one hundred women who took a competitive examination for the position she stood highest with a rating of 99% per cent.

Following her graduation from Tech she was employed for a number of years as a stenographer in the office of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, and for four years as stenographer and book keeper for the Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Company by Atty. Robert L. Vann, editor.

(Preston News Service) PINE BLUFF, Ark—Turner Brown, charged with the killing of Josh Caldwell, at what is known as a "hog eye" dance several weeks ago, pleaded guilty in Circuit court last Wednesday and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Brown said that he shot in self- defense when the other man approu- ached with a drawn knife, after having attacked Brown's sister. He told the court that Caldwell was regarded as a dangerous man and was known by many as a "bad man." EMPEROR JONES DOES NOT MAKE HIT WITH FRENCH SAY REPORTS EMPEROR JONES DOES NOT MAKE HIT WITH FRENCH SAY REPORTS (Preston News Service) PARIS. — Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," which opened here at the Theatre de L'Odeon last Monday night, was about as impressive as a motion picture of salmon fishing, according to a French theatrical critic. In general the reviewers were silent, and except a few protests. It is said that the production was presented here for the benefit of the Franco-American fund to erect a monument in memory of athletes killed in the war. Even this appeal failed to draw attendance after the first night. They claim the play seems to be a little primitive on the stage of France's second theatre where so many masterpieces have been seen. LOCAL NEWS Leaving For Texas— Mrs. Eliza Kenney of 212 East Lincoln street, left Thursday evening November 22 for Fort Worth, Texas, to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with relatives.

M., and for a time was in the railway mail service. He leaves a wife and four daughters and other relatives to mourn his passing. Many Newcomers— Phoenix is enjoying a rapid growth of her colored population, as many are coming from Oklahoma and other southern states. The majority of them find work in the cotton fields while a few are employed at the oil mills and in other places. There is room for more. Come, let every one that desires come, and cast his lot with us. Mrs. J. O. Green returned recently from a pleasant vacation spent in California with relatives. Mrs. Laura Young has filed suit for divorce against Dan Young, alleging cruelty and non-support as ground for action. The Pastor's Social Workers, together with the Tanner Chapel Sunday school, plan to give a splendid Christmas program at this church.

TWELVE WHITES STILL REMAIN AT TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL, AVERS (Preston News Service) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 27—According to a report from Director Hines to President Coolidge last Tuesday, all of the personnel, except twelve whites, at the United States Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, are Negroes. It is said that Director Hines submitted the report to the President, following numerous protests from Negro organizations to him against manning the hospital, an institution for the care of Negro service men, with white personnel. According to persons close to Director Hines and aware of the many problems confronting him in carrying out the wishes of the late President Harding in manning the hospital in the face of various obstructions placed in his way by southern whites, Director Hines needs to be commended by Negroes over the country for the success he has made in this connection. The report shows that 12 white staff members are still on the force and that there are 248 Negroes employed there. Among the 12 whites are three commissioned officers, designated as the directing heads of the institution. All of the specialists and physicians, except two, are Negroes, and all of the nurses are Negroes. While Director Hines did not explicitly state that he would further reduce the white personnel down to two—a director in chief and an assistant—and the remainder of the personnel to be Negroes, it is expected that he will carry out his original plan. Negro leaders in all parts of the country still hold the theory that the entire force at the hospital should be Negroes, and appear not to be satisfied until such is actually put into effect. Just what further action President Coolidge will take in the matter has not yet been indicated, and Negroes are anxiously awaiting his action in the matter. En Route to Texas— Rev. John Brooks, his wife and sisters, Mrs. Samuels and Mrs. Lewis, spent a few hours in Phoenix with their friends, Mrs. Chester Maryland and sisters, at 1207 East Jefferson street, while en route from California to Gonzales, Texas.

BAPTIST MINISTER HELD UNDER $500 BOND (Preston News Service) PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Wife says he threatened to kill her and burn off her head, were among the things told before Judge Kline in criminal court here Friday afternoon by Mrs. Daisy Patterson, wife of the Rev. W. A. Patterson, a minister, formerly pastor of the Second African Baptist church of Weirton, W. Va. Mrs. Patterson said that her husband divided his time between carrying the hod and pastoring when he was not under the influence of "shine."

She assured the court that she lived in fear of her life when Patterson was unrestrained. Judge Kline asked Patterson why he left Weirton, "as it seemed you and your wife got along very well while you were pastoring there." Patterson told the judge that he had a little difficulty with his congregation at Weirton, "when they refused to accept the pure Gospel, and I came to Pittsburgh to earn my living by carrying the hod," he declared. Judge Kline placed a bond of $500 over Patterson to keep the peace with respect to his wife. Mrs. Daisy Patterson, who placed surety of the peace charge against him. ORANGE, N. J., Nov. 28—A conference was held at the Y. M. C. A. building last Thursday night by leading businessmen and members of the Civic organizations of Orange to consider "Problems of Our Colored Citizens" under the leadership of B. B. Hodgeman. Health officials and members of the school board, as well as real estate men and others were present. It was brought out at the conference that because of the great influx of colored families from the South, over-crowded conditions prevail in tenement houses and the schools. Rent profiteering is prevalent and a strentuous effort will be made to put a ban on this. Following a general discussion of the various phases of the problems confronted by the Negroes a special committee was formed to make an accurate survey of the situation and report at the next meeting with recommendations for solution of these problems, if possible. BISHOP CAREY HOLDS (Preston News Service) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 27—The fifty-first session of the Tennessee annual conference closed here last Sunday at St. John's A. M.

Washington. 15 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year HUNDRED THOUSAND BLACKS LEAVE SOUTH DURING 1923, AVERS (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-According to an announcement following the survey of the Industrial Board, more than 100,000 Negroes have left the South during 1923 and have settled in the North. The present migratory flight of Negroes from the South has been almost wholly industrial and in large measure has been superinduced by the alarming shortage of common labor in the North. It shows that in many instances whole church congregations, headed by their pastors, have moved North and settled down. Employers also induced Negroes to come North in large numbers by sending "labor Scouts" south for that purpose. On some occasions entire train loads have come into this city as well as into other large northern cities. Another method effective in bringing them to the North was by those already up north writing to their friends. Attention was called to the effect that the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, the various articles in the Negro newspapers about the treatment of Negroes in the South, and then the educational advantages offered to Negro children, so sadly neglected in the South. The report further shows that from 1914 to 1923 more than a million and a half Negroes have left the South and have distributed themselves throughout the western, northern and eastern states, settling most densely in St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City. This migration has created some problems — relations between black and white; housing; and schooling, are among the chief. WERE KLUXERS; FIRES INTO CROWD; GETS YEAR IN JAIL (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28 — Commenting on the true spirit of democracy and good sportsmanship, W. P. Bayler had the following to say: "The kind of law which is alleged to have been meted out to the poor colored man who shot one of a crowd of boys in the foot in self-defense at Pocomoke, Md., on Halloween, is more and more incensing dangerous elements. The poor man, no doubt, imagined that his life was in danger. Should not the boys, the appearing cause of the whole trouble, not be handled for their offense and the colored man allowed to go free? That would look more like democratic justice, would it not, instead of giving the defender a year in the house of correction?" It is said that the convicted man told the court that he thought the crowd was a gang of Ku Kluxers, and being from the South he just knew he would be killed, and so he started firing first. (Preston News Service) ORANGE, N. J.-Early next spring an orphan asylum for Negro children will be opened on property at 172 Hickory street, this city, just purchased by the Orphan Rescue Association of New Jersey. The building is an eleven-room, two-family house. The property was purchased for $11,000. It is said that the association has been collecting money for several years for this purpose. The first payment of $2,000 has been made. At the last meeting the following officers were elected; Rev. H. H. Thomas, president; Mrs. Norma E.

WORK, WAIT AND HOPE If you have ever read the Count of Monte Cristo, that great French romance written by the Negro author, Alexander Dumas, you will recall the terrible sufferings which he was forced to undergo before he was able to win freedom and repay his enemies. After he had won his way back to eminence, a friend asked him what was the secret of his victory. The Count answered: The sum of all human philosophy is this: "Work, wait and hope." We believe that for every man and for every race this philosophy holds true. There are a few things in this world that are just as all of us should wish. Life itself is an eternal conquest of wrong. Triumph must come at last to all those who seek willingly and work unfailingly. Justice may sometime seem afar off, but she remains forever firmly fixed above and beyond all human power to defeat her ends. Through every hour of every day and through all the watches of the long and silent nights the fingers of destiny move to and fro, weaving the pattern of human life and its final design. We are a part of it and we do not live in vain. Ours is to work unfailingly and unflinchingly, to be patient in the thought that there is a power superior to that which we see and to hope for the silver lining that must come to all who have the vision to see and the faith to keep. The Count of Monte Cristo was right. The sum of all human philosophy is to work, wait and hope. OPPORTUNITY Often we hear our young men and women make the complaint that the door of opportunity is closed against them and that it is useless to spend years in study and preparation for the chance that never comes. How really foolish this idea is may be understood when one considers the position of the Negro in America. Opportunity after all, is but a chance for service. We have in this country twelve millions of Negroes. Affecting this vast number are a host of economic problems that must be solved. What are we doing to solve them? Are our young people really awake to the unending possibilities that these problems present? What we need now and most of all is not political leadership, or religious leadership, but economic leadership. We need men and women who understand finance and can create credit and business. We need men and women who can tackle the housing problems north and south. We need contractors, technical experts, able directors, salesmen and saleswomen. We need action translated into deeds. Men and women who can do things and can give proof that they can do things, will find thousands ready to support and assist them to make their dreams come true. No race is more willing to support genius than our race, but it demands that genius do more than dream dreams. So let our young people cease this talk of the closed door of opportunity. When one has twelve millions of human beings to deal with, no door of opportunity can remain closed. The demand grows. Let those answer who can. To be able to answer is the real test of whether or not the opportunity is deserved. A plan is on foot to bring a Dempsey-Gibbons fight to Phoenix. Let the people of this section enter a vigorous protest, because we do not want a recurrence of the events that followed in the wake of that Dempsey-Gibbons fight in Montana. We have enough bank failures in Arizona as matters stand. To bring in the big fight would be courting disaster. Let the people say nay. Father and Son Week was fittingly observed in Phoenix by the colored men. The father and son banquet at the high school was a grand affair. The Oklahoma lawmakers are heading the right way. "Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mad." These bullies are fighting among themselves, while the outside world looks on and smiles, knowingly. By the way, what has become of Adam and Eva, those famous characters in one of the state's greatest newspapers? We suppose they failed to make a hit and have been discarded. Such is life in Arizona. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING Week Day Sermonette "How shall we escape if we are indifferent to a salvation as great as that now offered to us?"—Heb. 2:3. Much has been said and written on "What Must I Do to Be SAVED?" It will serve the purpose of this message better to ask instead, "What Must I Do to Be Lost?" We do this because it will, we hope, arouse good people—church members, social leaders, and many of those who are counted among the best people of every community, yet who fail to engage in the activities which make for the betterment of the community where they live—to a consciousness of the peril to their souls occasioned by indifference to known duties. Many good people, people of wealth, culture and refinement, are in danger of hell's torture, not for doing that which is evil, but for leaving undone that which is good. Answering the question: "What Must I Do to Be Lost?" let me say—NOTHING. 1. Do Nothing to Let Jesus Into Your Life—despite the fact that He came "to seek and to save the lost," Jesus will enter into no man's life who will not invite Him in. Though He knocks constantly, if you do not open the door, He will never come in. If He never comes in, you are lost. Many otherwise good people become so absorbed in household, industrial, business, professional and even social cares, that they have no time for God; no time to think on His blessings; no time to give in service in the program of the church for kingdom building. It behooves us to guard against this fatal neglect. An attitude of indifference toward God is very easy to form, because it will not hurt our business and social standing. One need not be a Christian to succeed in business or lead society. That explains why so many people that God has blessed most show absolutely no regard for His wishes in their lives. 2. Do Nothing to Cure the Ils of Earth. How prevalent those ills, commercial ills, political ills, industrial ills, and ills racial! Since time and space forbid a discussion of all these ills, let me call special attention to the ills of race relations. "What must I do to be lost?" Do nothing to cure the ills of this country as they relate to its white and black citizenship, I wonder how many of us have thought our personal salvation depends upon the sincerity, persistence and enthusiasm with which we labor to bridge the chasm between the white people and the Negroes of this country who must live by their side? If you will reflect upon the lynchings, proscription, exploiting and other unfair treatment under which the Negro lives, and will consider that in proportion as he is able the Negro resents and hates back, you will decide that any man who fails to do his bit in promoting better relations between the races endangers his own soul. If you are a white man and engaged in the enactment or enforcement of laws to keep the Negro from enjoying the full measure of citizenship enjoyed by yourself, you are making the most positive investment in your eternal destruction. Even if you have had no active part in such injustices, you still cannot escape unless you have lifted your voice against them. You are guilty just the same for having allowed them without your protest. Look at the sorrowful face of Jesus as He says, "Inasmuch as ye did it not to the least of those (Negroes) ye did it not unto me," and get the evidence that doing nothing to remedy the racial ills of our beloved U. S. A. is a sure way to be lost. But the white man is not the only American upon whom responsibility rests in the matter of race relations. The Negro, too, is equally responsible. If he fails to do his part toward bringing about better relations between the races, he is doubly lost—lost here and lost hereafter. Negroes are in the habit of justifying themselves in cultivating hate thoughts and practicing the resentment such thoughts breed, on the ground that the white man was the first offender. That conclusion will not meet the approval of Him who said, "Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors." He gave us that advice because public peace and individual security are dependent upon it.

DISHES FROM LEFTOVERS If eggs cooked in the shell are left from breakfast, cook them until the yolk is nearly, cut into eighths and put a layer of cooked macaroni, then a layer of the eggs in a buttered baking dish. Over this poured a thin lay- into eighths and put a layer of cooked macaroni, then a layer of the eggs in a buttered baking dish.

Bake in a moderate oven until brown. Creamed Ham With Egg—Chop fine pieces of boiled ham from the shank. Have ready two hard-cooked eggs, cut them into quarters and remove the yolks, press them through a coarse sleeve, reserving the whites.

Moisten the chopped ham with a little of the sauce and heat just long enough to become hot. Make a smooth rounded loaf in the center of a hot platter.

Fig Dessert. Mix one cupful of fresh fig jam fresh from the tree or preserved or pickled when just in the proper stage of ripeness.

Cut off most of the fat and fry out in a frying pan. Rub both sides of each slice plenitively with mustard, then with brown sugar. Fry in the ham fat until the sugar is melted and the ham nicely browned. Remove to a hot platter and garnish with sprigs of watercress. Lamb Chops With Pork.—Remove the fat and bone from six chops cut two inches thick. Wrap around each a thin slice of fat salt or fresh pork, overlapping and fastening well with a toothpick. Place on a greased broiler and cook until the meat is well done. Season with salt and pepper, spread with butter and let stand in a hot oven for three minutes. Remove to a hot platter, garnish with parsley and serve. Hot Ham Sandwiches.—Chop some cold boiled or baked ham, mix with enough creamed butter to form a paste and season with mustard and paprika. Spread on bread which has been buttered and press together. Beat an egg slightly, add one-half cupful of milk and a little salt. Dip the sandwiches and fry in butter until brown. Veal Birds.—Take veal steak, cut four-fourth-inch thick from the leg. Cut into pieces 2 by 4 inches. Lay on a piece of salt pork, roll and fasten with a toothpick. Brown in pork fat, season with salt and pepper. Put into a baking dish and cover with rich milk; bake in a slow oven for an hour and a half. Serve with the gravy slightly thickened in the pan. If the meat is rolled in seasoned flour before browning the gravy will be thickened by the time the meat is cooked. Such vegetables as raw carrots, cabbage and green leaves are rich in vitamins. Neville Maxwell Subscribe for The Phoenix Tribune. The Cross Cut gaunt shadows stood forth—of a crouching man and a woman, one hand extended in the air, as she whirled the 'amp before her for an instant and brought herself between its rays and those who watched. Again the chase and then the scream, louder than ever, accompanied by streaking red flame which spread across the top floor like windblow spray. Shadows weaved before the windows, while the flames seemed to reach out and enwrap every portion of the upper floor. The staggering figure of a man with the blaze all about him was visible; then a woman who rushed past him. Groping as though blinded, the burning form of the man weaved a moment before the window, clawing in a futile attempt to open it, the flames, which seemed to leap from every portion of his body, enwrapping him. Slowly, a torch-like, stricken thing, he sank out of sight, and as the pursuers outside rushed forward, the figure of a woman appeared on the old veranda, half naked, shrieking, carrying something tightly locked in her arms, and plunged down the steps into the snow. Fairchild, circling far to one side, caught her, and with all his strength resisted her squirming efforts until Harry and Bardwell had come to his assistance. It was Crazy Laura, the contents of her arms now showing in the light of the flames as they licked every window of the upper portion of the house—five heavy, sheepskin-bound books of the ledger type, wrapped tight in a grasp that not even Harry could loosen. "Don't take them from me!" the insane woman screamed. "He tried it, didn't he? And where's he now—up there burning! He hit me—and I threw the lamp at him! He wanted my books—he wanted to take them away from me—but I wouldn't let him. And you can't have them—hear me—let go of my arm—let go!" She bit at them. She twisted and outted them with her gray head. She screamed and squirmed—at last to weaken. Slowly Harry forced her arms aside and took from them the precious contents—whatever they might be. Grimly old Sheriff Mason wrapped her in his coat and led her to a horse, there to force her to mount and ride with him into town. The house—with Squint, Rodaine—was gone. Back in the office of Sheriff Bardwell the books were opened, and Fairchild uttered an exclamation. "Harry! Didn't she talk about her books at the corner's interview? See if there's any entry along early in July—about the time of the inquest." Bardwell turned the closely written Bardwell turned the closely written pages. At last he stopped. "Testified today at the inquest. he read. Iiled. Roady made me do it. I never saw anybody quarrelling. Besides, I did it myself." "What's she mean—did it herself?" the sheriff looked up. "Guess we'll have to go 'way back for that." "First let's see how accurate the thing is," Fairchild interrupted. "See if there's an item under November 9 of this year." The sheriff searched, then read: "I dug a grave tonight. It was not filled. The immortal thing left me. I knew it would. Roady had come and told me to dig a grave and put it in there. I did. We filled it with quicktime. Then we went upstairs and it was gone. I do not understand it. If Roady wanted me to kill him, why didn't he say so? I will kill if Roady will be good to me. I've killed before for him." "Still referring to somebody she's killed," cut in Anfa. "I wonder if it could be possible—" "I've just thought of the date!" Harry broke in excitedly. "It was along about June 7, 1892. I'm sure it was around there." The old books were mulled over, one after the other. At last Bardwell leaned forward and pointed to a certain page. "Here's an item under May 28. It says: 'Roady has been at me again! He wants me to fix things so that the three men in the Blue Poppy mine will get caught in there by a cave-in.' The sheer lookup up. "This seems to read a little better than the other stuff. It's not so jagged. Don't guess she was as much off her nut then as she is now. Let's see. Where's the place? Oh. yes: 'If I help him, I can have half, and we'll live together again, and he'll be good to me and I can have the boy. I know what it's all about. He wants to get the mine without Sissie Larsen having anything to do with it. Sissie has cemented up the hole he drilled into the pay ore and hasn't told Fairechild about it, because he thinks Roady will go partnerships with him and help him buy in. But Roady won't do it. He wants that extra money for me. He told me so. Roady is good to me sometimes. But that's when he wants me to do something. If he'll keep his promise I'll fix the mine so they won't get out.' "The poor old soul," was there ailing sympathy in Anita Richmond's voice. "I—I can't help it if she was willing to kill people. The poor old thing was crazy." "Yes, and she's 'ad us bloody near crazy too. Maybe there's another entry." "I'm coming to it. It's along in June. The date's blurred. Listen: I did what Roady wanted me to. I sneaked into the mine and planted dynamite in the timbers. I wanted to wait until the third man was there, but I couldn't. Fairchild and Larsen were fussing. Fairchild had learned about the hole and wanted to know what Larsen had found. Finally Larsen pulled a gun and shot Fairchild. He fell, and I knew he was dead. Then Larsen bent over him, and when he did I hit him—on the head with a single-jack hammer. Then I set off the charge. Nobody ever will know how it happened unless they find the bullet or the gun. I don't care if they do. Roady wanted me to do it." Fairchild started to speak, but the sheriff stopped him. "Wait, here's another item: "I failed. I didn't kill either of them. They got out someway and drove out of town tonight. Roady is mad at me. He won't come near me. And I'm so lonesome for him!"" "The explanation!" Fairchild almost shouted it as he seized the book and read it again. "Sheriff, I've got to make a confession. My father always thought that he had killed a man. Not that he told me—but I could guess it easily enough, from other things that happened. When he came to, he found a single-jack hammer lying beside him, and Larsen's body across him. Couldn't he naturally believe that he had killed him while in a daze? He was afraid of Rodaine—that Rodaine would get up a lynching party and string him up. Harry here and Mrs. Howard helped him out of town. And this is the explanation!" Bardwell smiled quizzically. "It it looks like there's going to be a lot of explanations. What time was it when you were trapped in that mine, Harkins?" "Along about the first of November." The sheriff turned to the page. It was there—the story of Crazy Laura and her descent into the Blue Poppy mine, and again the charge of dynamite which wrecked the tunnel. With a little sigh. Bardwell closed the book and looked out at the dawn, forcing its way through the blinding snow. "Yes, I guess we'll find a lot of things in this old book," came at last. "But I think right now that the best thing any of us can find is a little sleep." Rest—rest for five weared persons, but the rest of contentment and peace. And late in the afternoon, three of them were gathered in the old-fashioned parlor of Mother Howard's boarding house, waiting for the return of that dignitary from a sudden mission upon which Anita Richmond had sent her, involving a trip to the old Richmond mansion. Harry turned away from his place at the window. "The district attorney 'ad a long talk with Barnham," he announced, "and 'e's figured out a wye for all the stock'olders in the Silver Queen to get what's coming to them. As it is, they're about a 'unnerd thousand short some'eres." Fairchild looked up. "What's the scheme?" "To call a meeting of the stock- holders and transfer all that money over to a special fund to buy Blue Poppy stock. We'll 'ave to raise money anyway to work the mine like we ought to. And it 'd cost something. You always 'ave to underwrite that sort of thing. I sort of like it, even if we'd 'ave to sell stock a little below par. It'd keep Ohadi from gettin a bad name and all that." "I think so, too." Anita Richmond laughed. "It suits me fine." Fairchild looked down at her and smiled. "I guess that's the answer," he said. "Of course that doesn't include the Rodina stock. In other words, we give a lot of disappointed stock- holders par value for about ninety cents on the dollar. But Farrell can look after all that. He's got to have something to keep him busy as at- torney for the company." A step on the yeranda, and Mother Howard entered, a package under her arm, which she placed in Anita's lap. The girl looked up at the man who stood beside her. "I promised," she said, "that I'd tell you about the Denver road." He leaned close. "That isn't all you promised—just before I left you this morning," came his whispered voice, and Harry at the window, doubled in laughter. "Why didn't you speak it all out?" he gurgled. "I 'eard every word.' Anita's eyes snapped. "Well, I don't guess that's any worse than me standing behind the folding doors listening to you and Mother Howard gushing like a couple of sick doves." "That 'olds me,' announced Harry, 'That 'olds me. I ain't got a word to sye!'" "Persons who live in glass houses, you know. But about this explanation, I'm going to ask a hypothetical question. Suppose you and your family were in the clutches of persons who were always trying to get you into a position where you'd be more at their mercy. And suppose an old friend of the family wanted to make the family a present and called up from Denver for you to come on down and get it—not for yourself, but just to have around in case of need. Then suppose you went to Denver, got the valuable present and then, just as you were getting up speed to make the first grade on Lookout, you heard a shot behind you and looked around to see the sheriff coming. And if he caught you, it'd mean a lot of worry and the worst kind of gossip, and maybe you'd have to go to jail for breaking laws and everything like that? In a case of that kind, what'd you do?" "Run to beat bloody tell!" blurted out Harry. "And that's just what she did." added Fairchild. "I know because I saw her." Anita was unwrapping the package. "And seeing that I did run," she added with a laugh, "and got away with it, who would like to share in what remains of one beautiful bottle of Manhattan cocktails?" There was not one dissenting voice! [THE END] PAGE THREE To know how good a cigarette really can be made you must try a LUCKY STRIKE "IT'S TOASTED" PHOENIX MEAT COMPANY at Arcade Market 1st.
