"Then let me go with you when you
see him. You're sick. You ought to
be in bed right now. You're in no
condition to face it alone."
"Oh, don't baby me, Kirby!" she
burst out. "I'm all right. What's it
matter if I am fagged. Don't you see?
I'm crazy about Esther. I've got to
get it settled. I can rest afterward."
"Will it do any harm to take a
friend along when you go to see this
man?„
"Yes. I don't want him to think
I'm afraid of him. You're not in this,
Kirby. Esther is my little sister, .not
yours."
"True enough." A sardonic, mirth-
less smile touched his face. "But
James Cunningham is my uncle, not
yours."
"Your uncle?" She rose, staring at
him with big, dilated eyes. "He's your
uncle, the man who—who—"
"Yes, an' I know him better than
you do. We've got to use finesse—"—
"I see." Her eyes attacked him
scornfully. "You think we'd better not
face him with what he's done. You
think we'd better go easy on him.
Uncle's rich, and he might not like
plain words. Oh, I understand now."
Wild Rose flung out a gesture that
brushed him from her friendship. She
moved past him blazing with anger.
He was at the elevator cage almost
as soon as she.
"Listen, Rose. You know better than
that. I told you he was my uncle be-
cause you'd find it out if I'm goin" to
help you. He's no friend of mine, but
I know him. He's strong. You can't
drive bins by threats."
The elevator slid down and stop-
ped. The door of it opened.
"Will you stand aside, sir?" Rose
demanded. "I won't -have anything to
do with any of that villain's family.
Don't ever speak to me again."
She stepped into the car. The door
clanged shut. Kirby was left stand-

All I need is his address and a little
informatio,l, I've come to have an
other row with him, I reckon."
The interest in Cunningham's eyes
quickened. He laughed. "Aren't you
in bad enough already with Uncle?
;Vi'hy another quarrel?"
This iso t on my ' own account.
There's a girl in his office—"
A rap on the door interrupted
Kirby. A youngman walked into the
room. He was agood-looking, young
exquisite, dark -eyed and black -haired:
His clothes had been made by one of
the best tailors in New York.- More-
over, he knew how to wear them,
James Cunningham, Junior, intro-
duced hien to Kirby as his cousin Jack.
After a few moments of talk the brok-
er reverted to the subject of their
previous talk
"Kirby "was just telling me that he
has come to Denver to meet Uncle
James," he explained to his brother,.
"Some difficulty with him, I under-
stand."
Jack Cunningham's black eyes fas-
tened on his cousin. He waited for
further inforriation. It' was plain he
was interested.
"I'm not quite sure of my .facts,"
Lane said. "But there's evidence to
show that he has ruined a young girl
in his office. She practically admits
that he's the man. I happen to be a
friend of her family, an' I'm goin' to
call him to .account. He can't get
away with it,"
Kirby chanced to be looking at his
cousin Jack. What he saw in that]
young man's eyes surprised him.
There were astonishment, incredulity,
anthe black d finally a
pupils. cunning narrowing of
It was James who spoke. His facet
was grave. "That's a serious charge,
Kirby," he said. "What is the name
of the young woman?"
"I'd rather not give it—except to
Uncle James himself."
"Better write it," suggested Jack
with a reminiscent laugh. "He's a
bit impetuous. I saw him throw a man
down the stairs -yesterday. Picked
the fellow up at the foot of the flight,
He certainly looked as though he'd
like to murder our dear uncle."
"What I'd like to know is this," said
Lane. "What sort of a reputation has
Uncle James in this way? Have you
ever heard of his bein' in anything
of this sort before?"
"No, I haven't," James said
promptly.
Jack shrugged. "I wouldn't pick
nunky for exactly a moral man," he
said flippantly. "His idea of livirg is
to grab all the easy things he can.
"Where can I see him most easily?
At his office?" asked Kirby.
"He drove down to Colorado
Springs to -day on business. At least
he told me he was going. Don't know
whether he expects to get back to-
night or not. "He lives at the Paradox
Apartments," Jack said.
"Prob'ly I'd better see him there
rather than at his office"
"Hope you have a pleasant time
with the old boy," Jack murmured.
"Don't think I'd care to be a champion
of dames where he's concerned. He's
a damned cantankerous old brute. I'll.
say that for him."
Janes arranged a place of meeting
for luncheon next day. The young
cattleman left. He knew from the
fidgety manner of Jack that he had
some important bug/less he was anx-
ious to talk over with his brother.
CHAPTER V.
COUSINS MEET.
With the aid of a tiny looking -glass
a young woman was powdering her
nose. Lane interrupted her to ask if
he might see Mr. Cunningham.
"Name, please?" she parroted pert-
ly, and pressed a, button in the switch-
board before her. `
Presently she reached for tlie.powder

Door 't end o' the hall."
Kirby entered. A man sat at a desk
telephoning. He was smooth -shaven
and rather heavy -set, a year or two
beyond thirty, with thinning hair on
the top of his head. His eyes in re-
pose were hard and chill. From the
conversation his visitor gathered that
he was a captain in the Red Cross
drive that was. on, .
As he hung up the receiver the man
rose, brisk and smiling, hand out-

CHAPTER VI.
LIGHTS OUT..
It was five minutes to ten by his
watch when .Kirby entered the Para-
dox Apartments. The bulletin board
told him that his uncle's apartment
was 12. He did not take the self -
serve elevator, but the stairs. The
hall on the second floor was dark.
Since he did not know whether the
rooms he wanted were on this floor
or the next he knocked at a door.
Kirby thought he heard the whis-
per
hisper of voices and he knocked again.
Re had to rap a third time before the
door opened.
"What is it? What do you want?"
If ever Lane had seen stark, naked
fear in a human face, it stared at him
out of that,of the woman in front of
him. She was a tali, angular woman
of a harsh, forbidding countenance,
flat -breasted and middle-aged. Be-
hind her, farther back in the room,,
the roughrider caught a glimpse of a
fat, gross, ashen -faced man fleeing to-
ward the inner door of a bedroom to
eseape being seen. He was thrusting
into his coat pocket what Iooked to
the man in the hall like a revolver. ;
"Can you tell me where James Cun-
ningham's apartment is?" asked
Kirby.
The woman gasped. The hand on
the doorknob was .trenibling violently.
Something clicked in her throat when
the dry lips tried to frame an answer.
"Head o' the stairs --right hand,"
she managed to get out, then shuttle
door swiftly in the face of the man
whose simple question had so shocked
her.

PLANTS FOR WINDOW GARDEN ,
It is now time to think about plants'
for the window -garden. The common I
practice is to pot up full-grown plants
from the garden in the early fall, or]
take :slips from plants in mid -summer
before they have become weakened byl
prolonged blooming. There are argu-'
menta in favor of both these methods,
but the weight :of evidence is in favor:
of the latter, all things considered. I
Carefully lifted plants bloom earlier
perhaps than young stock, but there!
are hazards in the lifting process.1
Roots will be injured, resulting- in%
more or less of a set -back, and there i
is danger of overpotting,. since •the
roots of many plants grown in ;the;
garden can not be trimmed success-
fully to fit small pots. Then by lifts
ing full-grown plants one brings in
stock that is ready to bloom, or even
may have started to bloom and which
may become exhausted before the win-
ter is over.
You can take slips in mid -summer,
en the other hand, just after flower-
ing commences, while mother plants
are in prime condition. These slips
should come from strong, healthy
plants that are free from insects or
diseases. Taking them at this time
allows you to select the plants which
have the prettiest flowers, and the
slips will have a start that enables
them to --make good growth by early
winter. The slips should be about
three inches long and can be rooted in
clean, moderately coarse sand, not
over four inches deep, or in water. If
placed in the window -garden as soon
as rooted, they will be practically born
in the conditions under which they will
be expected to flower. With very lit-
tle care they will make continuous
growth, and having escaped the perils
incident to lifting, can be expected to
produce good results.

CLEANING MATERIALS HANDY.
On a shelf or in. a cupboard near
the sink many housewives keep ma-
terials for cleaning the silver and
scouring . powders for steel knives;
Much less . of the latter is used if
stainless steel is gradually purchased
to -replace the old knives that discolor
so badly. If aluminum cooking uten-
sils are used, steel wool of the, finest
quality should have a place among
these supplies. With a neutral soap,
aluminum, can be polished in short
order. A cloth woven with threads of
cotton and thin cooper wire works like `
"magic" in cleaning pots and pans.
A brush of fine wire bristles will also
dislodgee the most pef'sistent burned -on
food. A putty knife, or a many-sided
piece of enamel or steel will get into.
many odd corners.
Many dish towels are out-of-date
with the woman who uses her dish
drainer for drying her dishes. These
may be purchased in many shapes and
sizes to suit individual conditions. A
round one used to fit the dish pan, so
that the water from rinsing may be
saved, is often ..from
mast value to the
woman without running water. Others
are square or rectangular to lit sinks
or drain boards, and have various
shaped wires to hold the dishes on
edge, and without touching each other
too closely. The dishes are stacked in
the wire rack, boiling water is poured
over thein. The heat of the dishes will
dry themselves and they will look
bright and shining. Some women find
that spreading a towel over the top or
.petting the drainer in a warm place,
as on the back of --the stove, prevents
the streaking of dishes by hard water.
A high stool 'to sit on while work-
ing, kept under the sink when not in.
use, helps in avoiding that tired feel-
ing. Many steps are saved when the
dish cupboard is at the left of the
sink and drain board, so the dishes
may be put away without walking
back and forth. If this cupboard is
also next to the dining -room door, in
the wall between the kitchen and the
dining -room, the dishes can be most
easily placed on the dining table.
OUR ROCKER SWIM?.'
When, we screened in our back ver-

furnishings for it, so ITent .up to the
attic to look 'abound... • There I found
an old wooden rocker that would no
longer rock. I brought it . down and
sawed off the legs, leaving only the
seat and back. These I painted a light
green, then I made some gay cretonne
cushions and with a rope through
each corner of the seat—up through
the arms in front and fastened to .the
back with stout staples—swung it
from. the rafters of the verandah in
the manner of a verandah hammock.
For almost no outlay of money we had
a good-looking, back -resting swing on
our back verandah. A neighbor see-
ing it made one like it to put under a
