Thifs what The Evening World has
tet opt to discover through a competi
tion iwhlch opened yesterday and will
dose March, 3t, 1922.
Any woman In New York who has
la Idea along this line Is invited to
Mibmlt It tn the competition. Her plan,
to matter how roughly laid out, pro
vided It Is understandable, will be passed
apon' by three practical women.
The maker of the very best plan of all
those submitted will receive an award
of 150. The three plans that are almost
ts good as the best will be awarded $25
each, and ten others next In line will win
wards of 510 each.
.The committee which will piss upon
the plans and make the awards Is made
up of.

' ONE GOOD ORIGINAL IDEA, a
piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler
aro about all the necessary equipment
tor tho competition. Nono of the
others Is oa Important as THE IDEA.
WOMEN know more about
apartments than men. Most
of tho peoplo of New York
live In them, but the man's acquain
tance with tho apartment ceases dur
ing business hours.
The woman's Interest In her home
her intimate touch with it extends
over nearly tho full twenty-rour hours
of the day.
Surely she knows what an apart
ment should be.
Yet most of the apartments nearly
all of them aro designed by men, for
women to run.
What would a shopkeeper say to a
hop designed without reference to his
own Ideas of Us .convenience and effi
ciency?
Just about what lots of women have
said for years when they have settled
down to thinking ovor what they
wouia ao to make an apartment more
convenient and livable, if they had an
opportunity.
.And now Opportunity has arrived.
All those good Ideas that havo been
wasted are to bo given a test as to
rneir soundness.
- Tho best of those Ideas are point;
to ret tho awards In Tho Evening
world's Apartment Plan Competition
There are thousands of women In
Now York apartments who (have their
own Ideas about apartments. They
are Invited to express thorn on paper,
The best one will toko an award of

CONDITIONS.
All the plans must be mailed or delivered to the Apartment Plan
Editor, The Evening World, on or before March 31, 1922.
Plans may be drnwi to any scale, but the maker should indicate
on her plan the dimensions and usts of each room and oloset and widths
of doors and windows and their locationa.
Each plan is to be for a four-room apartment, the total floor space
utilized to be not less than 330 square feet, the legal minimum plan
area for a four-room apartment.
No architect or builder and no employees of architectural or build
ing firms may submit plans in the competition. No employee of any
edition of The New York World and no member of any employee's
family may submit a plan.
this week the woman who Is going to
prepare a design for Tho Evening
World competition will find a shape
that buIU your mental conception of
the right plan. Then till it in anil
send It through.
So the tlmo to get busy is right
now. Put every good Idea you ever
hud Into a plan .and send It In.
Women aro not only going to be
the only prrticlpants In this competi
tion. Women are going to be the
judges of tho designs that aro sub
mitted. They nre practical women,
who think of tho problems of the
household in a very practical way
Ono of them Is an architect. The
others aro experts In solving domestic
problems. All aro deeply Interested
in the competition and It possibili
ties. They bellovo that many fine,
workable suggestions ore going to
come out of the competition, and It
will not be surprising If architects
and builders learn a lot that will tako
tangible form In the new apartments
that Avlll bo built in New York this
year.
The women who make tho designs
will bo gainers for themselves and
ocnefactors to others.
So, if you have, in mind a kitchen
arrangement that you know Is better
than any you have found In an apart
ment; If you have an Idea of bath
room arrangement that seems to you
to improve on any you havo seen; If
you havo your own notion about tho
way closets should be built In so as
to meet the storago demands of the
family, you have an Idea that may
win an award In the competition.
Send It along and see how It comes
out when compared with tho Ideas ot
other women.

CHAPTER XIX.
A DI8COVERY.
HE men from Wyoming
stepped into the elevator
and Klrby pressed the but
ton numbered 3. At the
third floor they got out and turned to
tho right. With the Yale key his
cousin had given him Klrby opened
the door of Apartment 12.
He knew that there was not an
inch of space In tho rooms that the
pollco and the newspaper reportors
had not raked as with a flno-tootn
comb for clues. The desk had been
ransacked, tho books and magazines
shaken, tho rugs taken up.
Wild Roso had reported to him tho
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 thoeo who lived in the three
apartments nearest to No. 12 had all
been out of the houso on tho evening
of the twenty-third. Tho man who
rented the rooms next those of Cun
ningham had left for Chicago on tho
twenty-second and had not yet re
turned to Denver.
Klrby 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. Ho had reason
to believe that, between 0 o'clock and
half-past 10 on tho night of the
wcnty-thlrd, not less than eight ner-
sons in addition to Cunningham hod
been In tho apartment. How had
they all managed to get In and out
without being seen by each other?
Lano talked aloud, partly to clear
his own thoughts and partly to put
the sltuatlop. .before his friend.
O' courso I don't know every one
of the eight was hero. I'm gucssln'
from facta I do know, makln' infer
ences, as you might say. To begin
with, I was among thoso present. So
was Rose. We don't need to guess
any about that
"The lady of the violet perfume
an' her escort wero here," Klrby
went on. "At least she was most
prob'ly ho was, too. It's a cinch the
Hulls wero In tho rooms. They were
scared stiff when I saw 'cm a little
later. They lied on tho witness stand
so as to clear themselves an' get me
into trouble In their placo. Olson
backs up the evidence. He good as
told mo he'd seen Hull In my uncle's
rooms. If ho did he must 'a' been
present himself. Then there's the
Jap Horikawa. He'd beat It before
tho pollco wont to his rooms to arrest
him at daybreak tho mornln' after
the murder. How did he know mv
uncle had been killed? It's not likely
any ono told him between half-past
iu an- nair-past 5 tho next mo'nln'.
No, sir. Ho knew It becauso his eves
had told him so."
"I'll say ho did," agreed Sanborn.
"Good enough. That makes eli-ht
of us that came an' went. We don't
need to flguro on Roso an' mo. I
came by the door an' went toy the fire
escape. one wanted upstairs an

We know that. But how about Hull
an' Olson an tho Jap? Here's an-
other point. Say It was 3.60 when

reach his rooms beforo 3 o'clock. He

"Looks reasonable," Colo admitted
nnii passed into th smnii
room whero James Cunning
ham had met his death.
Droad daylight though it was, Klrby
felt for an Instant a tightening at his
heart.
The air was close. Klrby Mepped
to tno winuow and threw It up. He
looked out ut the fire escape and at
tho wall of the rooming house across
tho alloy, tho wyndham Hotel, a sur
vlval of earlier days.
Lunc and his friend stepped out to
tho platform of tho flro escape. He-
low them was the narrow alleyway
directly In front the Iron framo of
tho Wyndham fire escape.
A discovery flashed across KIrby's
brain nnd startled him. "See here
Cole. If a man was standln' on that
platform over there, an' if my uncle
had been racin' him in a chair, Mttln
In front of the window, ho could 'n

Cole thought It out. "Yes, he
could, if yore uncle had been facin'
the window. But the chair wasn'
turned that way. you told me."
"Not when I saw It. But some one
might 'a' moved tho chair afterward.'
Tho champion of the world
grinned. "Becms to me, old man
you're travellln' a wide trail this
trip. Look, Cole! The corridor or
that hotol runs back from tho fire
escape. If a lellow had b:en Htand

visit to his uncle In his apartment and his errand. Going to the btuse he Is
surprised at the Intense excitement of

THE npartmcnt held two rooms,
a buffet kitchen and a bath-
Into the bedroom.
Ho stood paralyzed on tho thresh
old. ' On tho bed, fully dressed, his
legs stretched in front of him and his
feet crossed, was tho missing man
Horikawa. His torso was propped up '
against tho brass posts of the bed
stead. A handkerchief encircled each
arm and bound It to the brass up
right behind.
In tho forehead, Just abovo the
slant, oval eyes, was a bullet hole.
The man had probably been dead for
a day, at least for a good many hours.
Klrby stepped to tho window of tha
living-room and called to .his friend.
Sanborn swung across to the win- 1 j?
dow and came through.
"Tho same crowd that killed Cun
ningham must 'a' done this, too."
"Prob'ly."
"Suro they must. Same way
exactly."
'Unless tyln' him up here was an
afterthought to make It look like the
other," suggested Lane. Ho added,
nfter a moment, "Or for revenge, be
causo Horikawa killed my uncle. If
he did, fato couldn't havo sent a retri
bution moro exactly Just."
Klrby stepped closer and looked at
tho greenish-yellow flesh. "May
havo been dead a couple o' days," he
continued.
"What was tho sense In klllta'
him? What for? How did he come
into It?" Colo'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?"
"Sloro likely he know too much
an' had to bo got out of tho road."
"Yes, but" Sanborn stopped.
frowning, whllo ho worked out what
ho had to say. "Ho wasn't killed
right after yore uncle. Where was ho
while tho police were huntln' for him
everywhere?"
Lane told him of the mute testi
mony of tho newspapers In tho living
room. "Some ono brought thoso
papers to him every day," he added.
"And then killed him. Does that

"Wo don't know tho circumstances "
"I reckon." Cole harked back to
a preceding suggestion. "The re
venge theory won't hold water. If
somo friend ot yoro undo knew the
Jnp had killed him he'd sick tho law
on him. Ho wouldn't pull off any
private execution like this."
Klrby accepted this. "That's true.
There's another possibility. We'v
been forgettln' the $2,000 my uncle
drew from the bank tho day he was
killed. Perhaps Horlkawa's accom
plice saw a chanco to get away with
the whole of It by gettln' rid of Hori
kawa." "Mebbeso. By what you tell me
yoro uncle wan a big, two-fisted
scrapper. This UT Jap never In the
world handled him alone. What It
irets back to is that he was probably
in on It an' later for somo reason his
pardner gunned him." r

No. but It was hot that night. A

an' If he had ho might 'a' seen .some-thin'."
'Some more of them ifs, son.
What aro you drivin' at. anyhow?"
Olson. Maybe it was from thoro
ho saw what ho did."
Sanborn's face lost its whimsical
derision. His blue eyes narrowed in
concentration of thought. "That's
good gucssln', Klrby. It may be 'way
off; then again it may be absolutely
correct. Let's find out If Olson

with reference to the adjoining 100ms.
"Whllo we're cuttln' trail might as

friend. "The miscmint that did thli
killln' might 'a' walked out of the
door or he might 'a' come through the
window here. If ho did the last
which fork of tho roud did he take?'
Before ho had finished the sentenco
Lane taw another way of flight. The
apartment In front of Cunningham's
was out of reach of tho flro escape
But the nearest window of tho ono to
the rear was closer. Beneath It ran
a stone ledge. An active man could
swing himself from tho railing of the
platform to tho coping and force nn
entrance Into that apartment through
tho window.
Klrby glanced up and down tho
alley.
"I'm gonna take a whirl nt It,
Lane said, nodding toward the
window.
How much do they give fo
burglary In this State?'; asked San
born, his eyes dancing. "I'd klnda
hate to see you do twenty years."
"They havo to catch tho rabbit be
fore they cook It, old-timer. Hero
goes. Keep an eye peeled an gimmo
the offlco if any cop shows up."
Klrby stepped lightly to tho railing
edged far out with his weight on the
ledge, and swung to tho window sill.
Tho sash yielded to tho pressure of
his hands and moved up. A moment
later ho disappeared from Sanborn's
view Into tho room.
The self-invited guest met his first
surprise on tho tnble. It was littcre,
with two or three newspapers. All
confined long accounts of tho Cun
nlngham murder.
How did these papers como here
Tho apartment was closed, its tenant
In Chicago. Tho only other persons
who hud a key and tho right to entry
were Horikawa and tho Paradox
janitor, and the house servant had
lied to parts unknown. Who, then
had brought these papers here? And
why?

HtBY stepped into tho living
room, followed by his friend.
He was about to reach for the
receiver when an exclama
