THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING
ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT
TO MEMBERS OF THE
ARIZONA FEDERATION
Following is the address of the presi-;
ident, Mrs. Lynn R. Carter, which she!
!delivered to the members of the Fed-;
jeration at the meeting held in this i
jcity. Her address in full was as fo!-|
“To Officers, Delegates, Members, Vis- j
itors of the Arizona Federation cf j
Colored Women’s clubs.
“Time our pitiless master, ever!
drives his tireless steeds in their un- j
flagging flight.
“The minutes and hours speed by in;
never ending succession, and almost j
imperceptibly the present becomes the I
past, the morrow yesterday. 'Ere v/e
realise it, our task is done, our du
ties over, and the temporary moment
of rest here. And so today we find
another year lies buried in the past—
a year as years have been and as
years will be, of joy and sorrow and
sunshine and clouds.
“Again your president resigns into
those hands which conferred it, the
high authority of her office.
“In these days of rush and hurry
and go, women are inclined to give
but little thought to the things that
are behind, only looking forward and
pressing forward lo the things that
are before; but upon the birth of a
new division cf time, retrospection is
pardonable—and I might say, ineti
table, and we of the Arizona Feder
ation, looking backward over the year
just ending, find a record of good
works and good deeds.
“We have helped our country by
buying Liberty Bonds, worked in Red
Cross campaigns for mercy, sewed for
helploss Belgiums and chief among
them all, we did not forget our poor
and needy here at home in our char
ity work.
“During this fiscal year, we insti
tuted a club at Mesa City, Arizona,
known as ‘The Glee Club.’
“Though the clubs have been handi
capped by the groat influenza epidem
ic, they have fought their way brave
ly—showing greater strength finan
cially and in membership.
“We have tried to interest the
women of our race in this great up
lift work throughout the State of
Arizona.
“Three years ago we started a build
ing fund and in ihe near future wc
hope to see our hopes realized. Again
I will mention (lie fact that we were
handicapped in our progress with out
building fund as many of us made a
sacrifice to purchase Liberty bonds,
Baby bonds and War Savings Stamps,
and endeavored to answer every other
call of our country—that victory might
be ours in the Our motto ‘Row
ing, not drifting,* was upheld.
“The success of the Federation, the
highest development of out* organiza
tion is not dependent alone upon the
body, but upon the individuals.
“I can truthfully say the Arizona
Federation of Colored Women’s clubs
know no act of retrogression.
“To every member of tlie Executive
Board, I extend my sincere thanks'for
their hearty co-operation and support
during the year.
“In conclusion, I tender my heart
felt thanks to every president, officer
and member of the Federation clubs
j for the friendship and excellent aid
given me in our every effort for the
advancement of the organization.
“The Past has had its reading; the
Present has its writing; the Future
lias its hope.”

MORE GREETINGS TO THE
ARIZONA FEDERATION
Chicago, 111., May 19, 1919.
Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter, President.
Officers and Members of (bo Arizona
Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs
in Convention Assembled
My dear Co-Workers:
It is a high privilege that is ac
corded me to send to you greetings,
personally and for the Northwestern
Federation of Colored Women’s clubs,
at a time when each one, each groan,
each section, must be considering ll:e
gravest questions relativo to recon
struct ion.
Your ciub work in its sufferings,
had no peculiar struggle. The whole
system of organization trembled,
! struggled and groaned under (he heavy
burden whicli was imposed by the war.
We are still struggling to recover our
equilibrum and only as we get togeth
er in such assemblages as you are at
tending, puting forth our supreme ef
fort in endeavor to gain normality of
effort, will it be possible for us to
gain our end* #
May God in His divine wisdom and
mercy, guide you and may He give
your noble Leaders, wisdom to move
out in the highways and byways, feel
ing assured that your support is at
her back. May peace, quiet and so
briety mark each session, and may
you realize how deep is my regret that
I cannot be with you, even as a
mother regrets the separation from
her childron when great events trans
pire.
Please consider well, the Northwest
ern and have representation at the
meeting, one of the most important
which will be held in the Northwest
tor many years to come, cuar.inuch as
it is the beginning of the reconstruc
tion congress and we will have much
to propose along the line ot welfare
for every community. Again, with
God’s blessings on your work, I am,
Joanna Snowden-Porter, Pres.

“Bedad,” said O’Dowd, “it beats the
devil. There’s something big in this
M Sedad,” Said O'Dowd, “It Beats the
Devil.”
rhlng. Mr. Barnes —something a long
shot bigger than any of us suspects.”
“You’ll find that it resolves itself
into a problem for Washington to
solve,” said De Soto darkly. “Nothing
local about it, take my word for it.
These men were up to some interna
tional devilment. There’ll he a stir in
Washington over this, sure as any
thing.”
“What time was It that you henrd
the shots up at Green Fancy?” ven
tured Barnes.
“Lord love yon,” cried O’Dowd, “we
didn’t hear a sound. Mr. Curtis, who
has insomnia the worst way, poor
devil, heard them and sent some one
out to see ivlnit all the racket was
about. The man, It seems, made such
a devil of a racket when he came
home with the news that the whole
house was up in pajamas and peig
noirs.”
“I think I have a slight acquaintance
with the chauffeur,” said Barnes. “He
gave me the most thrilling motor ride
I’ve ever experienced. Gad, I’ll never
forget it.”
The two men looked at him, plainly
perplexed.
“When was all this?” inquired De
Soto.
“Early last evening. He picked up
your latest guest at the corners, and
she insisted in his driving me to the
tavern before the storm broke. I’ve
been terrihly anxious about her. She
must have been caught out in all that
frightful—”
“What’s this you are saying, Mr.
Barnes?” cut in De Soto, frowning.
“No guest arrived at Green Fancy last
evening, nor was one expected.”
Barnes stared. “Do you mean to
say that she didn’t get there, after
all?”
“She? A woman, was it?” demand
ed O’Dowd. -“Bedad. if she said she
was coming to Green Fancy she was
spoofing you. Are you sure it was old
Peter who gave you that jolly ride?”
“No, I am not sure,” said Barnes
uneasily. “She was afoot, having
walked from the stntlon below. I met
her nt the corners and she asked me if
I knew how far it was to Green
Fancy, or something like that. Said
she was going there. Then along came
the automobile, rattling down this
very road—an ancient Panhard driven
by an old codger. She seemed to think
it was all right to hop in and trust
herself to him, although she’d never
seen him before.”
“The antique Panhard fits in all
right,” said O’Dowd, “but I’m hanged
if the woman fits at all. No such per
son arrived at Green Fancy last night.”
“Did you get a square look at the
driver's face?” demanded De Soto.
“It was almost too dark to see, but
he was old, hatchet-faced, and spoke
with an accent.”
“Then it couldn)t have been Peter,”
said De Soto positively. “He’s old,
right enough, but he is as big as the
side of a house, with a face like a full
moon, and he is Yankee to his toes.
By gad, Barnes, the plot thickens! A
woman has been added to the mystery.
Now, who the devil is she and what
has become of her?”
CHAPTER VI.
Charity Begins Far From Home, and
a Stroll in the Wildwood Follows.
Mr. Rushcroft was furious when he
arose at eleven o’clock on the morning
after the double murder, having slept
like a top through all of the commo
tion. He boomed all over the place,
vocal castigations falling right and
left on the guilty and the innocent
without distlncti/cm.
“I don’t see how you managed to
deep through it,” Barnes broke in.
“You must have an unusually clear
conscience, Mr. Rushcroft.”
“I haven’t any conscience at all, sir,”
roared the star. “I had an unusually
full stomach, that’s what was the mat
ter with me. I take oath now, sir,
never to eat again as long as I live.
A man who cannot govern his beastly j
appetite ought to defy it, if nothing
else.”
“I gather from that remark that yor
omitted breakfast this morning.”
“Breakfast, sir? In God’s name, I
implore you not to refer to anything
so disgusting as stewed prunes and
bacon at a time like this. My mind
la—”
"How about luncheon? Will you
join me at twelve-thirty?”
“That’s quite another matter,” said
Mr. Rushcroft readily. “Luncheon is
an esthetic tribute to the physical in
telligence of man, if you know what I
mean. I shall be delighted to join you.
“Twelve-thirty, did you say?”
“It would give me great pleasure if
your daughter would also grace the
festal board. I think it is too bad that
she has to go about in the gown she
wears, Mr. Rushcroft,” said Barnes.
“She’s much too splendid for that. I
have a proposition I’d like to make to
yon later on. I cannot make it, how
ever, without consulting Miss Thack
eray’s feelings.”
“My dear fellow!” beamed Rusht
croft, seizing the other’s hand. “One
frequently reads in books about it
coming like this, at first sight, but,
damme, I never dreamed that it evert
really happened. Count on me! She
ought to leave the stage, the dear
child. No more’ fitted to it than an
Easter illy. Her place is in the home,
the—”
“Good Lord, I am not thinking of—’j
And Barnes, aghast, stopped beford
blurting out the words that leaped to
his lips. “I mean to say this is a prop
osition that may also affect your ex- 1
cellent companions, Bacon and Dilling
ford, as well as yourself.”
At twelve-thirty sharp Barnes cama
down from his room freshly shaved
and brushed, to find not only Mr. Rush
croft and Miss Thackeray awaiting
him in the office, but the Messrs. Dll
itngford and Bacon as well.
“I took the liberty, old fellow,” said
Rushcroft, addressing Barnes, “of ask-J
ing my excellent co-workers to join us
in our repast.”
“Delighted to have you with us, gen
tlemen,” said Barnes affably.
The sole topic of conversation sot
the first half hour was the mysterious
slaying of their fellow lodgers. Mr.
Rushcroft complained bitterly of the
outrageous, high-handed action of the
coroner and sheriff in imposing upon
him and his company the same re
strictions that had been applied to
Barnes. They were not to leave the
county until the authorities gave the
word. One would have thought, to
hear the star’s indignant lamentations,
that he and his party were in a posi
tion to depart when they pleased. It
would have been difficult to imagine
that he was not actually rolling in
money instead of being absolutely
penniless.
Barnes had been immersed !n his
own thoughts for some time. A slight
frown, ns of reflection, darkened his
eyes. Suddenly—perhaps impolitely—
he interrupted Mr. Rushcroft’s flow of
eloquence.
‘‘Have you any objection, Mr. Rush
croft, to a more or less personal ques
: tion concerning your own private—er—
misfortunes?” he asked, leaning for
ward.
For a moment one could have heard
a pin drop. Mr. Rushcroft evidently
held his breath. There could be no
mistake about that.
“It’s rather delicate, but would you
mind telling me just how much you
were stuck up for by the—er—was it
a writ of attachment?”
“It was,” said the star. “A writ
of inquisition, you might as well sub
stitute. The act of a polluted, impe
cunious, parsimonious—what shall I
say? Well, I will be as simple as pos
sible —hotel keeper. Ninety-seven dol
lars and forty cents. For that pitiful
amount he subjected me to—”
“Well, that isn’t so bad,” said
Barnes, vastly relieved. He was cov
ertly watching Miss Thackeray’s half
averted face as he ventured upon the
proposition he. had decided to put be
fore them. “I am prepared and wil
ling to advance this amount, Mr. Rush
croft, and to take your personal note
as security.”
Rushcroft leaned back in his chair
and stuck his thumbs in the armholes
of his vest. He displayed no undue
elation. Instead he affected profound
calculations. His daughter shot a
swift, searching look at the would-be
Samaritan. There was a heightened
color in her cheeks.
“Moreover, I shall be happy to in
crease the amount of the loan suffi
ciently to cover your return at once
to New York, if you so desire —by
train.” Barnes smiled as he added the
last two words.
“Extremely kind of you, my dear
Barnes,” said the actor, running his
fingers through his hair. “Your faith
In me is most gratifying. I—l really
don’t know what to say to you, sir.”
“May I inquire just how you ex
pect to profit by this transaction, Mr.
Barnes?" Miss Thackeray asked
steadily.
He started, catching her meaning.
“My dear Miss Thackeray,” he ex
claimed, “this transaction is solely be
tween your father and me. I shall
have no other claim to press.”
“I wish 1 1 could believe that,” she
said.
“You may believe it,” he assured
her.
“It isn’t the usual course,” she said
quietly, and her face brightened. “You
are not like, most zneri m» tj„— c »
