No one else that I have known has been able to sce the peak from this distance, but Zeb is dead, so why debate it?

If it were a question of Cayley or the law, he was quite decided as to which side he was taking. Pre- vious to the tragedy of yesterday he had got on well enough with both of the cousins, without being in the least intimate with either. Yet, though. he had hesitated to define hig position that morning in regitrd to Mark, he did not hesitate to place himself on the side of the law against Cayley. Mark, after all, had done him no. harm, but Cayley had committed an unforgivable of- fense. Cayley had listened secretly to a private conversation between himself and Tony.

It was three o’clock, and at three o’clock yesterday Antony and Cay- ley had found the body. At a few mnutes after three, he had been looking out cf the window of the ad- joining room, and had been supposed suddenly to find the door open and Cayley behind him. He had vaguely wondered at te time why he had expected the door to be shut, but he had no time then to worry the thing out, and he had promised himself to look into it at his leisure after- wart. He had decided that three o'clock that afternoon “should find him once more in the office.

I tried to get one of these suites by telegram from Denver but was in- formed that they were all taken by “gentlemen in oil” from Tulsa, Okla. \ Not being “a gentlemen in oil,’ I had to go to a lodging . house, where I got a nice room for two of us for $3. True, we had to walk up a couple of flights of stairs and there was no bath, but there was a gramophone in the hall, to the music of whicli the porter and chamber- maid danced until a late hour, and it listened just like a cabaret at Coney Island. We enjoyed it very much. When we landed at this place we thought it would be nice to negoti ate for an auto drive about the vi- cinity, say for a couple of hours. We were promptly informed that _ the way to go was to tuke “the circle trip,” that is to the “Garden of the Gods,” “Cave of the Winds,” “South -Cheyenne Canyon and home, about two hours. A Slight Retreat “And the charge?” I queried timid- ly. “Twelve dollars,” came the re- but I thought I detected a weak- ening of the firm but sweet mouth of the landlady as she followed with: “Would that be about right?” “No,” decidedly, ‘it would not be right.” And so she promptly dropped to $9. If I had kept firm, doubtless we would have obtained our auto at a quite reasonable price. That's the Colorado Springs method—sim- Arrived at ‘the “Cave of the ‘Winds,’ we were informed by our driver that it was truly, wonderful and would cost us $1.10 each as it “is owned by private parties.” I have a read a good deal of late about “holdups of travelers” | practice of dentistry at his office,| Europe.

On the door of our room was a card giving the rate at “$5 the day for two persons.” I asked the land- lady what that card meant and she said: “Oh, in 1920 everybody had money and those were. the prices, then, but we have had to come down since.” At that, Colorado Springs and Manitou furnish a most delightful and even thrilling two days’ recess to the transcontinental traveler. No- where else’ on the continent, pos- sibly, are gathered more interesting natural beauties and wonders than here. vA it Went “Bust” Like all gold and silver mining regions, this one presents unlimited evidences of former and _ fallen greatness. WHen Cripple Creek camp was discovered, a little over 20 years ago, there sprang up, almost over night, away up there 5000 feet above ‘Colorado Springs, a wonder- ful mining camp with hotels, opera house, innumerable dance halls and everything. And presently a wonderful sky- line scenic railroad, called the Crip- ple Creek Short Line, was built from Colorado Springs, 20 miles away. When I went over that line 19 years ago, I thought it the most ‘beautiful ride I had ever taken, But Cripple Creek went “bust” and the line which had cost millions to build, was abandoned, and now « sists of a hundred costly bridges and two streaks of rust falling to hopeless decay. I wonder how much good the mil- lions taken out of Cripple Creek really ever did. The richest, mines in Cripple were the Independence and Stratford, owned by the late Mr. Stratton, who gave Stratton. Park to Colorado, Springs, and also a splendid home forsorphan children and indigent old people. They tell me the institution is filled to capacity. ~-One would hardly think that possible in a com- munity as small as' this. Figure On This They proudly point to the fact that the Cripple Creek district alone has produced $369,000,000 in fo° since its discovery in '91. Now there never were more than 60,000 people in this entire region, men, women and children, workers and loafers. Assuming that there was not one dollar income ever received from any other source in all this region— a perfectly ‘absurd contention—and you have $60,150 cash for every man, woman and child in this part of Colorado! Things aren’t all settled yet, are they? \ Most of the railroads in Colora- do have passed through serious cris- es and some of them—like Moffat’s road out of Denver—simply ate ‘up millions and never got anywhere, while another, the Colorado Mid- land, pushed clear through the Rockies to Salt Lake, ran several years and “busted” completely, and was abandoned—the | crowning ex- ample of a “busted” ralflroad in America, while still another, the his- over and _ovet,, sold,:»played with, used yas:the ‘base: of:-a-pyramid for George Gould to build his Western Pacific on, still operates all ovér™: Colorado, up and down hill, across awful chasms, down _ terrifying gorges, over and around mighty’ mountains, .and manages to keep going, despite the fact that its stock’, is worthless and its bonds not much; better. Much to Offer Everyone, pretty nearly, who has ever visited has gone one way at least on the D. & R. G. and every-! one, nearly, declares that never again will he go that way because of ' the discomfort, but a few years la- ter finds the old-time kicker curled up in an upper berth trying to’ keep his mouth closed to the cinder dust. In recent years, the D. & R. G. grades and service have been won- derfully improved. It is still, and probably always will be “the stenic” line” of America, if one chooses to travel by railroad. = “As we leave Colorado Springs, its majestic mountains, flower-strewn. valleys and good-natured brigands in’ the guise of landlords and auto driv ers, we realize that the “Switzer- land of America“ has very, very - much to offer to the tired worker, but that until some way is found to entertain that worker at a reason- able rate, “a vacation in Colorado” will continue to be a nightmare to the lean purse instead of the pleas- ure it should be. - In Switzerland there are 2000 fine, , , QP, comfortabel hotels, where, right now, the.traveler may find delight- ful rooms with comfortable beds and ‘splendid meals, three of, them daily, at $2.50 to $3.50 per day,” including all tips! Food in America is cheaper than in Europe, rents . are not much more; and yet anyone who would at- tempt to take a.vacation in Colorado on $3.50 per day person—unless he walked and carried his bed—would be laughed at as mentally incom- petent. Of ‘course, one might buy a Ford and fool himself into the idea that he could take a camping trip to Colorado and have the Ford when he got back; but those who have tricd it know better. No, the facts are, we in America haven't yet learned how to rest and play without bankrupting the family treasury. - (Copyright, 1922, NEA Scrvice). \ STRIKE LEADER _ IS ACQUITTED (Ry the Associated Press) St. Paul, Minn..
