With the Ynlc key hit cousin hud given

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

like one e' them palaces tot the amp

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

Hew had they all managed te get In

Lane talked aloud, partly te clear his
own thought and partly te put the sit

"O' ceurse I don't knew every one

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

A discovery flashed across Klrby's '
brain and startled him. "Sec here, .

been facin' him in n chair, slttin' In

He'd be mere apt te hang out nearer the

"Unless be chese the Wyndham te be

"Mcbhese. Rut If he did It wasn't
because he meant the old man nny geed.

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

Lane's quick glance swept the abut

the buildings,
"You're Bheutln', Cele. lie could V

"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'

hae a leek nt the Wjntlham register."
They did. The Wyndham wns a

the landlady kept a register for her

P. R. T. "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. T. family te Presi
dent Mitten's invitation te drop iu for a friendly
chat was little short of a landslide of deluge
proportions.
Mr. Pawling says his Auditorium seats about
eleven thousand nennle.
