Intosh isn't sure that she viii change
her name.
If the wedding bells do crash out on
the crisp evening air as a clarion call
10 the altar. Frank MaIey may respond
and take unto himself a bride And
then again lie may not. Frank says
he isn't sure that he's going to be mar
ried. Miss Mcintosh says she isn't very
sure about it, either Mrs. Mcintosh
says she was told yesterday that her
daughter was going to be married.
Where2 She does not know. When?
Tonight-maybe-
Frank Maley Is working today, paint
ing red lead in the ends Of Steamplpes
which are being installed IN the new
Union Station. Miss Mcintosh is work
ing, too. She IS selling pictures IN a
downtown department store.
Heldup by the Holdup.
It seems that the wedding plans were
PUT awry last Saturday night. Maley
says he was held up and robbed by two
burIy negroes. Very vivid and. in fact,
almost meIodramatic, is the story re-
lated TO the police by MaIey. He says
he was robbed a moment after ne step
ped from a car about $50 o'clock on
Bryant street, between North Capitol
and First streets. He says one negro
stuck q revolver under his nose, while
the other robber Clutched his shoulders
with a NlCe-lEe grip He says that they
told him TO turn mis- pockets inside out
He says that he did SO. He says thar
among the things which passed from his
possession 70 that OF the highwaymen
were S.
Now the police say-weH. Frank him
self volunteers the information that the
police show q disposition TO doubt his
understand why they should. Heavens
knows, ne gave them enough details Of
the robbery.
Never Misses a Reply.
He described the spot where he was
held up, the general appearance Of the
highwaymen, the various articles Of
clothing they wore, the peculiar style
SLOUGH hats, and ali that sort Of thins.
There was not a single question asked
b. the inqusitive police that Naley
didn't answer right of the bat.
Whether the police believe that rob-
berry story has nothing TO DO with the
wedding, apparently. The robbery it.
self did, though. Maley saw Miss Nc
Irtosh yesterday at her home at rs
Eighth street northeast Their wedding
Ilans were discussed in the privacy Of
talking the matter over Maley seemed
to ne uncertain about the date OF the
marriage. The date had been fixed
originally for tonight, but that hold-up
made a big difference IN MaIey's fnan-
Cial resources. Now no one seems 20
know anything about the wedding.
Frank Is "Kidded."
Maley's feuow-worlJmen were kid
ding" him. today, about the robbery and
the wedding.
Going to get marriage tonight,
FRANKIE" they asked.
Il don't know" answered Frank.
Don't YOU think you ought to Know"
they insisted.
II don't know" responded Frank. as
he mixed another buckle tot red lead
and bent his head low 20 hide his con
fusion.
When are you going to be married."
II don't know"
Where are You. going to be married."
II don't know
What 90 you know about your own
I'm ten you tomorrow"
viii YOU be married by that timer"

Saturday niSht?'
Have they caught the assauants
YETI
NO.
what do the police say about it,"
Gee, they don't seem 10 think was
robbed at all
We'll, were your
Sure"
Will Have to Hustle.
Frank then left the workshop and
went into the station to fit some pipes.
II somebody tells him that he is going
20 be married tonight he'll have TO do
some tail hustling to get all slicked up.
Frank is a gOOd-looking chap and
smiles every time he speaks. Neither
: the 70 1bery or other events OF equa,
importance seem TO bother him very
much. He looks about twenty years
old but may be twenty-five He sure
does hope the police will catch the men
who held him up.
Miss Mcintosh was seen today while
selling pictures IN a department store.
She said she didn't know whether she
would be married tonight. OF course
the robbery upset their plans terribly,
but perhaps the wedding could take
place just as they had arranged ii in
the first place. Frank would let her
know about that during the afternoon.
