JUL Uf, II,
 CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The old Arm ory police station, gloomy within and nance last night
 When Emily Howe. a young woman prisoner was given an opportunity of choosing as husband between two men-one of them a rich mine owner from Nevada. and the other, a poor letter carrier.
 hours before she had promised to wed him if he procured her release on bonds The mine owner, to whom she was engaged. and who was her girlhood sweetheart away back at Glencoe. Minn., was heart broken as he saw her leave the station with his rival
 The mine owner was Frank NJ Crosby and the letter carrier, T. II Hawthorne. 339 La Sale avenue.
 Neither had ever seen or heard of the other until they met last evening at the sergeant's desk, each bearing a bond for the young woman's release. The letter carrier beat the miner by two minutes to the police station. Had the Nevada man got there first he would have claimed Miss Howe as his bride.
 Dangling a necklace of nuggets which he had dug out of the mine at Goldfields. Crosby tried to lure the girl away from his rival, but she shook her head.
 If you had been the first to reach the station," said the girl, 'T would go with you and become your bride, but I promised Tom I would marry him if he got me out of jail. I'm sorry for you. Frank, but must keep my promise. If you had been a few minutes sooner with the bond things would have been different g
 Miss Howe. who is g years old, was arrested week ago on a charge of stealing articles in a State street store. Her case was continued ten days. and, on account of her youth and apparent honesty, she was kept prisoner at the Harrison street an neX instead of being sent to jail.
 All efforts of the matron to learn something of the girls history were unavailing. as she said she preferred life Imprisonment to letting her friends know of he= arrest
 Yesterday, however, she changed her mind, and she sent word to Haw- thorne, asking him to procure a bondsman for her. He called at the annex late in the afternoon and after hearing her version of the charge against her. declared he would not rest until he procured her release.
 If you get me out or this awful place Tom," said the girl. as tears streamed down her cheeks, ,"I1l marry keep it, no matter what happens"
 Wednesday night there arrived in Chicago from Nevada the man who years ago was the sweetheart of Emily Howe when they both went to the little red schoolhouse at the cross roads. Crosby had not seen 'Em1y, ' as he calls her, since he left Glencoe six years ago to make his fortune in the Nevada goldfields. They had corresponded regularly, however, and in one Of his letters written six months agb Crosby proposed mar riage. He was accepted. and he says there wasn't happier man in Nevada than he when he received the letter saying she would be his wife.
 Miss Howe had moved to Chicago from Minnesota three years ago, and until recently she lived with an Aunt. Mrs. Vienna Cooley, 619 Seventy ninth street
 IA faus month aRn Miss Hnwe Jeff her aunt's home and since then sine has been living in Wells street, near Oak, only a block distant from Haw- thorne's boarding house. She met the letter carrier soon after taking F her residence on the north Side, and, although they have seen each other frequently. she did not look upon Hawthorne as suitor.
 On Crosby's arrival In Chicago he went to the home of Mrs. Cooley and learned that Miss Howe had moved to the North Side. He had some diff ficulty in finding the baker-shop in Wells street whore she was employed as cashier, and the proprietor said he had not heard of the girl since she left week ago. He was thinking about reporting her disappearance to the police.
 Crosby hurried to the Central sta | NAOA HAA 6aFE a ACc(aAPlAOh VI HE sweetheart, whom he feared had mel with harm. Two hours later he was informed at his stopping place 14s Western avenue, that the missing girl'' was a prisoner at the Harrison street annex. He was told by the DO lice that he could procure her release in bonds of $1 900.
