But there was this differ ence between them, that while it was written en every Inch of Sanborn that he lived astrlde a cow-pony, Klrby might have been an Irrigation engineer or n mining man from the hills. He had neither the bow legs nor the un graceful roll of the man who rides meit of his waking hours. His ojethes were well made and be knew bow te carry them. As they walked across te Fourteenth street, Kirby told As much of the story ns he could without betraying Itlicr McLean' part In It. He trusted San born Implicitly, but the girl"3 secret was net hh te tell. Frem James Cunningham Kirby-bad get the key of his uncle's apartment, tils cousin had given It te him u little reluctantly.

"Might 'a' been any e' the tenants here." "Yea, but she wnelt a vlolet perfume that both aha nn I noticed In the apart ment. My hunch is that the man nn' the wemm were cemln' from my uncle's rooms."

He lifted his nnnd In a smau gesture. "This is the. rarader Apart. menf. i A fat man rolled out of the building ust ih they reached the stepx. He pulled up nnd stared down at Klrby. "Whit what ?" Ills question hung poised "What am I deln' out e' Jail, Mr. Hull? I'm loekln' for the man that killed my uncle." Klrby answered quietly, looking straight at bim. "But " "Why did you He nbeut the time when you saw me that night?" Hull get excited at once., Hla eyes began te dodge "I ain't get n word te wy te you net a word net n word !

There was no chance that he would discover anything new unless It might be by deduction. Wild Rese had reported te htm the result of her canvass of the tenants. One or two of them she bad missed, but she had managed te see all the rest. Nothing of imoertanco hail ,t. t.veleped from these talks. Seme did net enre te say anything. Others wanted te gossip a whole afternoon away, but knew no mero than what the news papers had told them. The slngle fact that steed out from her Inquiries was that these who lived In the tfirce apart ments nearest te Number 12 had all been out of the house en the evening of tbe 23d. The man who rented the rooms next theee of Cunningham had left for Chicago en the 22d and had net yet returned te Denver. Cole took In the cesy chairs, the draperlw and the soft rugs with an appreciative eye. "The old boy ho he lleved In solid comfort.

Klrby, wasted no tlme In searching the apartment for evidence. What In- tercsted him were its entrances nnd Us exits, Its relation te adjoining rooms and buildings. He had reason te bellrve that, between il o'clock and half-past 10 en the night of the 23d. net less than eight person, in addition te Cun ningham, had been In the apartment Hew had they all managed te get In nnd out without being seen by each ether? Lane talked aloud, partly te clear his own thought and partly te put the sit uation before bis friend. "O' ceurse I don't knew every one of the eight wns here. I'm guessin' from facts I de knew, mnkln' Infer- ences, as you inlTht say. Te begin with, I was among these present. Se wan Rese. We don't need te guess any about that."

"Loek. Cele! The corridor of that hotel runs back from the lire-escape. ' If n fellow had been standln' there he I could 'n' seen Inte the room If tf e blind j wasn't down."

The Dis trict Attorney had taken it for nn ex hibit nt the trial of the man upon whom cvldcnce should fasten. The littered papers had been sorted and most of them removed, probably by James Cunningham, Jr. Otherwise the room remained the same. The nlr was close. Klrby stepped te the window and threw It up. He looked out at tbe fire-escape and nt the wnll of the reaming house across the. nllpy. Denver Is fctlTl young. It offers the incongruities of the West. The I'nradex Apartments had been remodeled and were modern nnd up te date. Adjoining it was the Wyndham Hetel, a survival of earlier days which could net long escape the march of progress. Lane and his friend stepped out te i the platform of the fire-escape. Belew , them was tlie narrow alleyway, directly ( In front the Iren frame of the Wynd ham fire-escape. , I A discovery flashed across Klrby's ' brain and startled him. "Sec here, . Cele. If a man was standin en that platform ecr there, an' if my uncle had been facin' him in n chair, slttin' In front of tbe window, he could n' rested his hand en that rallln' te take aim au' i made a deed-ccnter shot."

Let's And out If Olsen stayed nt the Wyndham whilst he was In Denver. He'd be mere apt te hang out nearer the depot." "Unless be chese the Wyndham te be near my uncle." "Mcbhese. Rut If he did It wasn't because he meant the old man nny geed. Prove le me that the Swpde stayed there an' I'll say he's ns liable as Hull te be guilty. He could n' threwed n rope teucd that stone curlicue stlckln' out up there above us, swung ncrest te the flro-escape here, en' walked right in en Cunningham." Lane's quick glance swept the abut ment above and the dlstnnce between the buildings, "You're Bheutln', Cele. lie could V done Just that. Or he might hnve been weltin' In the room for my uuele when he come home." "Yes. Mere likely that was the way of it if we'rc en it het trail a-tall." "We'll check up en that first. Chances nre ten te one we're barkin' up the wrong tree. Right away we'll hae a leek nt the Wjntlham register." They did. The Wyndham wns a roeming-hotirto rather than a hotel, but the landlady kept a register for her guests. She brought It out Inte the hall from her room for the Wjemlng men te leek nt. There, under date of the twenty-first, they found the name they were looking for. Oscar OIm had iti Wyndham. He bad stayed three nights, checking out en tne twonty-ieurtn. The friends walked into the ttreet nntFbflck toward the Paradox without n word. As they Mopped into the ele vator again, Lane looked at bis friend und smiled. "I've n notion Mr. Olsen had n right lntercstln' trip te Denver," he said quletlv. "I'll say he had," answered San born.

"Service Talks 77 te Empleyes Reproduced from issue of January 31, 1922 SERVICE TALKS SERVICE TALKS NOTES OF PRESIDENT MITTEN'S TALK TO P. R. T. EMPLOYES A WHALE OF A MEETING With empleyes satisfied and public well served, with P. R. T. property built up, and the equiv alent of 6 earned upon" P. R. T. $30,000,000 paid in capital, co-operative accomplishment has reached the goal set for it in 1911. With great accomplishment te our credit, we have come together this evening te consider a co-operative pledge for the future, through which Men and Management will take another forward step in co-operative accomplishment. P. R. T. Men and Management today stand out as best qualified te work out a practicable and satisfactory apportionment, as between capital and labor, of added income produced through co-operative effort. P. R. T. Men and Management can undoubted ly repeat the geed work of 1921, and produce net income of $1,800,000 for 1922, which is the amount required te pay a dividend of 6r0 en P. R. T. capital stock. Opciating co-its of 1922 can, I am sure, be reduced at least $1,500,000 by extra effort of Men and Management and this without any lessening of service. The Ce-operative Plan of 1918 provides wages based upon the average of four citiesChicage, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit, which assures proper comparison with wages paid elsewhere. The four-city average will continue a3 the wage base, and this would be quite all right in pay ment for ordinary service; but te my mind, P. R. T. empleyes, having put P. R. T. again en the map, as a result of ten years co-operative effort, arc new entitled te participate in the financial result of further co-operative accomp lishment. The Plan which 1 propose te submit for ap proval of P. R. T. stockholders provides that co-operating empleyes receive in recognition of co-operative accomplishment, a co-eperatjvo dividend, limited te the added net income pre-. duced. but net te exceed in amount 10 of P. R. T. pay-roll. Payment of 6 P. R. T. dividend is te be first accomplished, followed by co operative dividend te P. R. T. empleyes. The forward step new contemplated must, for its assured acceptance by P. R. T. stockholders, go te them with such earnest endorsement of P. R. T. empleyes here assembled as will carry conviction that the earning of added surplus for distribution te P. R. T. empleyes is se certain that it will increasingly insure the earning and payment of dividends te P. R. T. stockholders. This plan will in effect make P. R. T. a stock of preference, the 6 dividend en which is underwritten by Men and Management, who must reduce 1922 operating costs net less than $1,500,000, in order te make possible a co operative dividend te empleyes equaling 10 of P. R. T. pay-roll. Planning te this accomplishment and te the making of these added economics assured, SERVICE TALKS will hereafter be issued from headquarters te aid and assist, while all departments will work te support that higher degree of co-operative accomplishment which naturally fellows the past ten years of intensive training and must find expression in that higher standard of service represented in lessened accidents, closer attention te duty and greater consideration for public comfort. $1,500,000 of added net income, te be secured upon a system already noted for great achieve ment, would be an impossible task for an or ganization less attuned te great accomplishment through co-operative effort, but P. R. T. Men and Management will net only make, geed this additional undertaking, but can in addition be depended en te co-operate with the City in de veloping a se-well operated street car system that it will be one of, if net the principal wonder en display at the 1926 Sesqul-Centcnnial. First and last we've presided ever a geed many meetings, but never one like that of last evening. The response of the P. R.
