BY THE MISSING MISS.

Well, the amateur detectives of
Newark seem to be so far at sea con-
corning me that tomorrow propose to
give them an excellent chance to catch
me and win the award of $50.
Tomorrow morning 1 start to do"
the Ironbound district properly. I am
going there today, more to reconnoitre,
but tomorrow l shall be there and give
everyone a chance to win the prize.
See the picture of me printed today.
That was taken today Ia front of the
Public Library building. q wonder
why that stout man, with small
black moustache and blue serge suit,
who had a copy of THE EVENING
STAR, did not summon sufficient
nerve to identity meH) See the hat:
Well. I will weaE IL tomorrow. / may
have veil and I may not. (rhis Is
really very good picture of me.)
Most persons would assume that l
would reach the lronbound district by
going down Ferry street. A compe-
tent detective would reason otherwise,
because l, being the hunted one, would
naturally seek a less frequented thor
| oughfare. But there Is. no doubt that
l Will be in Ferry street some time to-
morrow, unless am captured before
1 get there. l have planned to pass
through Mechanic street, Hamburg
place, Sandford street and Elm street.
Remember, l shall be early. I will
be in the Ironbound district by 10
a. M, with the hope that Friday will
prove lucky to some one who needs $50.
I did not go to the matinee at Proc
tors yesterday afternoon, as had i'll
tended, because when I arrived at the
door I recognized in the line of per-
sons awaiting my arrival a woman who
came near capturing me at Broad and
Market streets the day before.
Went Back at Night.
But 1 went back last night When I
reached the theatre there was line Of
seekers from the door Of the theatre
stretching by Scheuers grocery store
and up to Centre Market. All had tick
cts for the show and all were waiting
for me before going In. Perhaps they
did not recognize the girl IN a one-plece
blue polkadot dress. who was accom-
panied by another woman and man
in blue. OF course. they didn't or l
would have been captured.
1 thought Rosie Lloyd was awfully,
terribly-almost scandalously good.
wonder why the stout man in the box
with the sun-burned bald head was not
bold enough to accept her proposal
when she tossed a boutonniere to him.
She was so pretty and fascinating that
1 almost wished I were a man-that I
were that man with the freckled and
SCARED dome in the box.
This afternoon 1 shall be down in the
Ironbound district, just to get acquaint-
ed, but if / am properly identified to-
day will admit it and will award the
prize.

vance to me and say, while holding the

81 read THE EVENING STAR, New
Jerseys greatest evening newspaper.

MING STAR"
