GIRL he had sought had gone.

It was near the end of the second
week that Bradley summoned up the
courage to show the agent his photo
graph and asked information.

day from the train" he said. II

it from them and mail her copy.
The agent smiled.
"She wasn't visiting no one, he
explained "She just stopped of here

think her ma came from here years
ago and she wanted to see It.
what was her name ?" Bradley
reflected that perpaps she lived in
city where they had directory.
"Molly something" said the agent.
II don't recollect that I know what
her other name was.
Perhaps the woman who kept the
clearinghouse at which che stopped
might know" suggested Bradley, but
again his hopes were dashed with the
answer that the girl had stopped at
the hotel.
Bradley searched the register for
two months back, but there was no
hint there. The little hotel was run
in going fashion, and the register
was ornamental rather than useful.
At last he gave upin despair. He
had run every clue TO earth, and he
knew no more than on the day of his
arrival. His vacation had come to
an end, and since it was useless to
linger he gave up the quest.
The town had never seemed as hot
and dusty as it did on his arrival,
and as he came at last to the apart.
ment house in which he lived and re.
called the hopes with which he had
started out, his depression reached the
lowest point. He climbed the stairs.
At the top of the last flight a girl
came out of the rear fat, and in his
surprise Bradley dropped his Ruit
case. The girl of the picture stood
before him.
AS he stood staring Mrs. Harold
came busting out of her apartment.
"Did you have nice timer" she
asked as she greeted him.
"The homecoming was the best Of
ALL" he said, with smile.
ut usually is, she agreed, uncon.
scious of his hidden meaning.
I'm glad you re here. My niece,
Molly Joslin. from California, is
spending a month with me. She
came the day after you left. You
escaped two weeks of escort duty"
"There are two weeks left" he
said with smile. THAT will be
plenty of time
"That is not very gracious speech, "
suggested Mrs. Harold, with laugh.
Bradley blushed.
I'm afraid it doesn't sound the
way l mean it," he stammered. II
can't very well explain now
But he made his explanations ten
days later, when he showed Molly
the photograph and told her of his
quest.
"And now that I have found you,
may keep your" he asked.
Findings keeping" suggested
Molly, demurely. "At least, that is
what we used to say when l was

FOUND GUILTY OF ROBBERY.
Motion for New Trial in Mulcahy
Case at Baltimore.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 12-Clarence NJ
Bryan and Warren Thompson Of Washing
ton were found guilty yesterday afternoon
Of rebbing Miss Ellen c. Mulcahy. also of
Washington, of 81, 7OO.44 After the close
of The Stars report yesterday came the
sensation of the trial, when Mrs. Thomp-
son. wife of one of the prisoners and a
most prepossessing young woman, went
upon the stand and corroborated the evil
dence of Miss Mulcahy.
Mrs. Thompson testified that she had
been married in this city on December G
last under similar circumstances She said
that Thompson had secured about 800
from her. She also testified that Thompson
was aware of the fact that Bryan was a
married man when he accompanied the
couple to this city for the ostensible pur-
pose Of being married. She said that Bryan
had accompanied her and Thompson to this
told her that he (Bryan) was q married
man.
Night Clerk Ketchum of the hotel where
Bryan and Miss Mulcahy registered testi-
fed that the couple had created such q dis
turbance in their room that he had been
compelled to threaten them with arrest
He testified that he saw Bryan strike Miss
from her in the hotel and that both were
under the influence of liquor.
Police Marshal Farnan was put upon the
stand and testified that he had received in
formation from Washington to the effect
that Bryan had been married to a woman
named Pearl Weeks in Washington, d. c.,
in 1894, but that the couple had separated.
Sentence was suspended in both cases,
owing to the fact that Attorney Wolf made
a motion for a new trial

NEW CENSUS IN CUBA.
Work May Be Promptly Started After
the Order ia Given

In view of the fact that the length Of
time which must e!apse before independence
can be restored in Cuba is affected by the
necessity of taking the census of the island
the insular bureau here, which will be
charged with the work, has been giving
some attention to the subject in advance
of formal orders to embark on it, The
bureau finds that the experience gained in
the first census taken by the military au-
thorities in 1899 will greatly facilitate the
taking of the new census. Nearly three
months iii the first case was spent in
studying the various methods of census
taking. in preparing the necessary blank
forms, in securing competent men to take
charge of the work of enumeration in each
of the six Cuban provinces. and finally in
employing locally Cubans OF sufficient in
telligence to collect the data.
1t is now found that most of this pre-
liminary work can be dispensed with when
the new census is taken. The inspectors
and supervisors who made the census In
1899 are said to be ready to respond to a
call to undertake the new work. the form
OF blanks and other material required are
already we'll known, and the fact that the
Palma government had already begun to
prepare for a new census will make it pos.
sible to save probably three months time
in starting the work of actual enumeration
after the order Is given.

STEELE MAY BE CAUSE.
DR.. Austin Says That He is Holding
the Case.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 12.-"When Wilbur
f. Steele of New York was selected as a
juror in the Thaw case I predicted a dis
agreement of the jury, regardless of the
evidence in the case" yesterday declared
DIR. ]. H. Austin of Glen Ellyn
Il served on several jur;es with Steele
and he was the most contrary minded man
l ever knew" continued DR.. Austin. "Once
we were jurors on case in the United
States court. where man was on trial
for rObbing a post office. The night the
robbery occurred three men were sleeping
on the second floor of barn to which the
robbers went and divided the stolen money.
Through holes in the floor the men plainly
saw the robbers. Several months later one
of these men was brought back from New
York to Dakota to testify in the case. AL
though the court room was crowded, and
the defendant was purposely placed among
the spectators, the man unhesitatingly
pointed him out as one of the three men
who divided in the barn the money stolen
from the post Office. and whom he heard
talking of the robbery at the time.
Despite this positive Identification and
the strongest circumstantial evidence Steele
refused 10 find the defendant guilty. For
three days the eleven other jurors voted
guilty on every ballot, and Steele voted
not guilty All the efforts to make Steele
change his vote were futile"
