__THE EVENING WORLD, What Woman Will Get $50 tor the Best FOUR-ROOM APARTMENT PLAN?. Other Good, Practical Ideas Will Be Rewarded With $175 More ” “THE YUKON TRAIL LS By William Modcleod Raine HAT woman in New York has the best idea for the arrange- ment of a four-room apart- a ment? ‘That's what The Evening World has set out to discover through a competi- tlon which opened yesterday and will close March, 31, 1922. Any woman in New York who has an idea along this line is invited to submit it in the competition. Her pla, mo matter how roughly laid out, pro- vided it is understandable, will be passed upon by three practical women. ‘The maker of the very best plan of ali those submitted will receive an award of $50. The three plans that are almost 8 good as the best will be awarded $25 each, and ten others next in line will win mwards of $10 each. The committee which will pass upon the plans and make the awards is made up of Mrs. Marcia Mead, architect, No, 248 East 34th Street. { Miss Martha P. Sanford, Household Editor, The Woman's Home Companion. Mrs. Christine Frederick, - household efficiency expert. ONE GOOD ORIGINAL IDEA, a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler are about all the necessary equipment for the competition. None of the others is as important as THE IDEA. OMEN know more about apartments than men. Most of the people of New York live in them, but the man’s acquain- tance with the apartment ceases dur- ing business hours. The ‘woman's interest in her home— her intimate touch with it—extends ever nearly the full twenty-four hours of the day. Surely she knows what an apart- ment should be. Yet most of the apartments—nearly all of them—are designed by men, for women to run. ‘What would a shopkeeper say to a shop designed without reference te his own ideas of its convenience and effi. ciency? Just about what lots of women have! said for years when they have settled down to thinking over what they would do to make an apartment more convenient and livable, if they had an opportunity. .And now Opportunity has arrived. All those good ideas that have been wasted are to be given a test as to their soundness. The best of those ideas are going to get the awards in The Evening World's Apartment Plan Competition. "‘Dhere are thousands of women in New York apartments who have their own ideas about apartments. They are invited to express them on paper. The best one will take an award of $60, There are awards from $10 to $25 for others mot quite so good ay the/Best.

Going to the heuse he is Surprised at the intense excitement of CASS HULL and his wife, in directing him to his uncle’s rooms, He finds the apartment dark, hears some one move, grasps a woman by the band and is struck on the chin and knocked out. Recovering, he finds a glove belong- ing to “Wild Rose” McLean and a nute from Cunningham's valet, HORIKAWA, saying the Hulls had called and said ey would return later. In an inner room Lane finds Cunningham’s dead body, bound to a chair, bullet hole in the head. There is a ring at the door, he leaves the room by the fire escape and is seen by |UCK ELLIS, a reporter. Lane phones the man described by the Hulls and Ellis comes first under suspicion as Cun- ningham’s slayer. The Hulls lie about the time at which Lane passed their door, but identify him and he ts arrested for murder. A woman in black faints at the hearing. Lane identifies her as the original of a portrait signed “Always Phyllis” found in his uncle’s rooms, Lane’s cousins secure his re- lease on bond and join him in his efforts to solve the mystery. Rose Mc- Lean joins-Lane and his cousins in thei efforts to clear up the mystery and tells her story to the Cunninghams. Her reference to the odor of violet perfume she detects in Cunningham's apartment appears to have much interest to the nephew. Lane confronts OSCAR OLSON, a farnser, with the charge that he threatened Cunning- bine} life in a letter and finds Olson was in Denver when Cunningham was illed.

A DISCOVERY. from Wyoming stepped into the elevator and Kirby pressed the but- ton numbered 3. At the third floor they got out and turned to the right. With the Yale key his cousin had given him Kirby opened the door of Apartment 12. He knew that there was not an inch of space in the rooms that the police and the newspaper reporters had not raked as with a fine-tootn comb for clues. The desk had been ransacked, the books and magazines shaken, the rugs taken up. Wild Rose had reported to him the result of her canvass of the tenants. Nothing of importance had developed from these talks. The single fact that stood out from her inquiries was that those who lived in the three apartments nearest to No. 12 had all been out of the house on the evening of the twenty-third. The man who rented the rooms next those of Cun- ningham had left for Chicago on the twenty-second and had not yet re- turned to Denver. Kirby wasted no time in searching the apartment for evidence. What interested him was its entrances and its exits, its relation to adjoining rooms and buildings. He had reason to believe that, between 9 o'clock and half-past 10 on the night of the twenty-third, not less than eight per- sons in addition to Cunningham had been In the apartment. they all managed to get in and out without being seen by each other? Lane talked aloud, partly to clear his own thoughts and partly to put the situation before his friend. “O' course I don’t know every one of the eight was here. I'm guessin’ from facts I do know, makin’ infer- ences, as you might say. To begin with, I was among those present. So was Rose, We don't need to guess any about that. “The lady of the violet perfume an’ her escort were here," Kirby went on. ‘At least she was —most prob'ly he was, too. It’s a cinch the Hulls were in the rooms. They were scared stiff when I saw ‘em a little later. They lied on the witness stand so as to clear themselves an’ get me into trouble in their place. Olson backs up the evidence. He good as told me he'd seen Hull in my uncle's rooms, If he did he must ‘a’ been present himself. Then there's the Jap Horikawa. He'd beat it before the police went to his rooms to arrest him at daybreak the mornin’ after the murder. How did he know my uncle had been killed? It’s not likely any one told him between half-past 10 an’ half-past 6 the next mo’nin’. No, sir, He knew it because his eyes had told him so.” “I'll say he did,"* agreed Sanborn. “Good enough. That makes eight of us that came an’ went. We don't need to figure on Rose an’ me, I came by the door an’ went by the fire escape. She walked upstairs an’ down too, The violet lady an’ the man with her took the stairs down. We know that. But how about Hull an’ Olson an’ the Jap? Here's an- other point. Say it was 9.50 when Rose got here. My uncle didn’t reach his rooms before 9 o'clock. He changed his shoes, put on a smokin’ Jacket an’ lit a cigar. He had it half smoked before he was tied to the chair. That cuts down to less than three-quarters of an hour the time in which he was chloroformed, tied up to the chair, an’ shot, an’ in which at least six people paid a visit here, one jolice of the murder.

A moment later he disappeared trom Sanborn's view into the room, The self-invited guest met his first checking out on there three nights, the twenty-fourth. The friends walked into the street and back toward the Paradox without a word.

On the bed, fully dressed, his legs stretched in front of him and his feet crossed, was the missing man Horikawa. His torso was propped up against the brass posts of the bed- stead.. A handkerchief encircled each arm and bound it to the brass up- right behind. In the forehead, just above the slant, oval eyes, was a bullet hole. The man had probably been dead for a day, at least for a good many hours. Kirby stepped to the window of the living-room and called to his friend. Sanborn swung across to the win- dow and came through. “The same crowd that killed Cun- ningham must ‘a’ done this, too,” “Prob'ly.'' : “Sure they must. Same exactly." “Unless tyin' him up here was an afterthought—to make it look like the other,"’ suggested Lane. He added, after a moment, ‘‘Or for revenge, be- cause Horikawa killed my uncle. If he did, fate couldn't have sent a retri- bution more exactly just."” Kirby stepped closer and looked at the greenish-yellow flesh. ‘May have been dead a couple o’ days,"’ he continued. “What was the sense in killin’ him? What for? How did he come into it?'’ Cole's boyish face wrinkled in perplexity. ‘I don't make head or tall of this thing. Cunningham's ene- mies couldn't be his enemies, too, do you reckon?"’ “More likely he knew too much an’ had to be got out of the road.”* “Yes, but"——s Sanborn stopped frowning, while he worked out what he had to say. ‘‘He wasn't Killed right after yore uncle. Where was he while the police were huntin’ for him everywher Lane told him of the mute testi- mony of the newspapers in the living room. ‘Some one brought those papers to him every day,"? he added. nd then killed him, Does that look reasonable to you?"* “We don't know the circumstances.” “IT reckon." Cole harked back to a preceding suggestion. ‘The re- venge theory won't hold water. If some friend of yoro uncle knew the Jap had killed him he'd sick the law on him. He wouldn't pull off any private execution like this."’ Kirby accepted this. ‘'That's true. There's another possibility. We'vs been forgettin’ the $2,000 my uncle drew from the bank the day he was killed. Perhaps Horikawa's accom- plice saw a chance to get away with the whole of it by gettin’ rid of Hori- kawa.”’ “Mebbeso. By what you tell me yore uncle was a blg, two-fisted scrapper. This li'l’ Jap never in the world handled him alone. What it gets back to is that he was probably in on it an’ later for some reason his pardner gunned him." “Well, we'd better telepho: police an’ let them do some worryin’.”’ 5 ic apartment held two rooms, way for the of the IRBY stepped into the living K room, followed by his friend. He was about to reach for the receiver when an exclama- tion stopped him. Sanborn was rtanding before a small writing desk, of which he hod just let down the top. He had lifted idly a blotting paper and was gazing down at a sheet of paper with writing on it. “Looky here, Kirby.” he called. In three strides Lane was beside him. His eyes, too, fastened on the sheet and found there the pothooks we have learned to associate with Chinese and Japanese chirography “Shows he'd been makin’ himself at home,’ the champion rouch rider said Lane picked up the paper and put it in his pocket.
