sailor to his ruin.
Among the visitors Mullally
gathered reputation as a
hard-boiled, swashbuckling ad-
venturer, another Sinbad,
They murmured that he was
lucky to be alive. They asked
him why he didn't write a
book. They swallowed his lies
with as much relish as they
swallowed Pat Carmody'S beer.
Didn't I say they were the best
of visitors?
Last Sunday morning Paddy
Mutually was telling history to
a handsome couple who had
driven up in an expensive for
eign car. A transatlantic key
wizard was making the piano
cry like the wind about a
craggy shore, making it roar
like the surf piling in over
coral reefs.
Told Story to Girl
The girl was young. sweet,
attentive. The man was tall,
swarthy, and as credulous as
she. Now and then the girl
reached out to clasp the young
mans hand, but her eyes never
left the eyes of Pat Mutually.
you're an old hero" she
said when the piano was
hushed for the night and Pat
Carmody had come to the table
to rest his hand on Pat Null
lally's shoulder. You're an old
hero, and I'm very, very fond
of you."
She took from her bosom a
great corsage of orchids and
gave them into Pat Mullally's
wrinkled hands.
For you," she said--and one
thought for a moment she
would have bent and kissed
his silver hair. She went out
then. quickly, her escort trail
ing behind saying goodnight
to the men in uniform still
busted with the beer and the
cards and the yarns at their
tables.
But Pat Mullally sat in his
accustomed seat. very still, the
orchids IN his hand, his eyes
closed. On his face was the
look of one who has found
peace.
"A great ladies' man you
have become" said Paddy Car
mody, laughing jovially and
caressing his old friends. head.
"A great ladies man indeed to
turn that little girls head in

several hours, he held marvellous

No Charity for Him

"I'll take no mans charity"
Pat Mutually said, mot even
that of an old friend"
You'll take it and like it,"
Carmody thundered at him.
And what do you mean. it's
charity? Is it crazy you think
I am, Mullally. or soft? You
can help me in a thousand
ways I can't explain to you
just now. Come on with you,
man."
So there was Paddy Mutually
every night. bright eyes, white
hair and horny hands, spinning
wondrous yarns of derring-do
to the visitors from uptown.
Tales of wrecks he told them,
tales of incredible brave deeds,
recited in a soft, low voice:

Old Tar a Fixture

Every night a sailor pulls up
anchor. Every night another
sailor weeps into the beer. But
there is one old sailor who was
a fixture In the place; who sat
there every night in his accus-
toned chair and downed his
beer with the others; who had
no intention of going anywhere
but to bed; whose life on the
sea was done with long ago;
whose life on land had but a
league to go.
He was a salt-seamed little
Irishman with the friendliest
eyes ever framed in the face OF
a man; and his name was Pat
Mullally. His hair was as
white as sea foam on a tropic
beach, and it waved in the
breeze of the electric fans like
palm fronds in a gale.
It was Pat Mutually who was
the main attraction OF the
place, the reasons for the horde
of sightseeing visitors, the men
and women in evening dress.

sophiSticates tired of the bright
light routine and eager for a
change, for novelty, for color.
Pat Carmody, an old salt him"

Mutually wandering around by
the docks a year ago, and kid
ded him a little about being
homeSick for the sea, and
brought him a drink, and a
pack of tobacco, and a new
suit, and a pair of landlubber's
shoes, ana a necktie gay with
stripes, and a couple of new
shirts. And then he invited
him to come and stay in his
boarding house as long as he

Smith Named As Unemployment
Relief Chairman OF This County
ByP. G. Spilsbury OF Phoenix

PHOENIX, Sept. 25.-Appo:nt-
ment of county committeeman for
all but two of the counties in Ari-
zona to act in the unemployment
relief work of the state this winter
was announced yesterday by P. c..
Spilsbury, member of the President
Hoover's national committee on un-
employment relief. The appoint
ments we're made in cooperation
with David w. Fountain, appointed
by Gov. George w. P. Hunt as state
chairman of relief committee.
Those named were DR.. T. j. Boul-

PHOENIX, Sept. 25.-Arriva1 of
Dick Griffin in Phoenix yesterday
to assist B. H. McAhren in the detail
work of promoting the Jack Demp-
sey exhibition here next month, was
followed by an announcement from
Griffin after a telephone conversa-
ton with Reno, New, that the prob
able date of the Dempsey show
would be October % or 20.
Leonard Sachs, secretary manager
to Dempsey, told Griffin that
Dempsey's plans included rest at
his Champion mine in Nevada for
three weeks or more. The former
champions hands, according to
Sachs, have been terribly bruised
upon the hard head and elbows CT
some 60 opponents since he began
his exhibition tour late in August,
and it will take some time for them
to get back into shape that will per-
NIT more ring work.
However, Sachs assured Griffin
that Phoenix would be the first
city to see the former champion
when he resumes his tour. Demp-
sey's original plan after his hands
became bruised were to rest until
the first week in November, but
Sachs virtually agreed to move the
date ahead about one week to bring
Demsey here on dates that would
not conflict with other events card
ed for this territory.
Plan Details
With the date practically set, Nc
Ahren and Griffin began work on
preparing for the biggest crowd that
ever watched a sport event in Ari-
zona. Efforts will lbe made to OBJ
tain the cooperation of railroads to
give low fares to Phoenix to fight
fans from every part of the South
west and many other details are to
be worked out to make it the big

seen.

m:ttee was that collections of mon
ey for charitable and relief pur-
poses be made during the period,
October 19 to November 25, and
that the drive for funds at that time
be made to provide sufficient for
the entire winter.
1.-THE county directors are warned
to be very careful about approving
or recommending wild or untried
schemes for relief" he said. cal
ready many have been presented but
most of these have selfish foun-
dation and will not truly meet con-
ditionS. It is much better to move
slowly and surely in work of this
character and to stick to policies
that are fundamentally sound.
ArizOnians First
I'm general the problems to be
met are the care of Arizona peo-
pie, and, second, the problem Of
the transient. First, all plans
should be made to care in each
community for those who are tenl-
porarily embarrassed and need this
help. The problem of the transients
will be a serious one in Central and
Southern Arizona and for this rea-
son co-ordinat:ng plans in all cen
tral and southern counties should
be established so as to minimize
the drain on local funds as much as
possible"

yesterday by p. E. Baffert. ter

point.
The telegram further says:
"The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company of Mexico has not been
notified either verbally or in writ
ing of strike for any cause. The
question is being thoroughly inves-
tigated by the board Of concilia-
ton and arbitration in Mexico City
in accordance with the labor law
of August 1881 and commission
has been appointed to investigate
and make an audit of our books to
determine our financial status.
1.-The S. P. de M. claims the money
inverted is approximately 122,00O,-
10000 pesos and there has not been
any interest paid on said capital-za-
ton and in the last eleven years
has borrowed 42,300,00000 pesos
more than all revenues.
1.-The losses for the full year 1881
are now closely estimated to be L.
70O,0OO.0O pesos more than in 1890.
Therefore economies are necessary.
Train service has been reduced to
a minimum on approval of the
Department of Communications and
Public Works. Shopmen have agreed
and are working thirty eight hours
instead of forty eight. hours per
week with corresponding rate per
hour. Maintenance OF way forces
and extra gangs have been reduced.
Some tariffs have been increased
but those conditions were taken in
to consideration when the best fore
cast possible indicates approximate
ly 1,7OO,0Oo.OO pesos loss for 1881.
Ten. per cent reduction would a.
mount to about 100000 pesos per
month with only three months of
this year left so the S. P. de M.
faces a very serious situation.
