Thorne eyed her steadily for a few
moments. At last he said:
AT any rate, it may have some effect

Your Honor. Mrs. Challoner assures
me that this charge is absolutely true"
And finally turing to Murgatryod: It
should like to hear from Prosecutor
Murgatroyd as to the truth or falsity of
this?"
AS the two men faced each other.
Shirley once more touched Miriam's
arm. and said affectionately:
Miriam, do you realize all that you
are saying? Look into my eyes, dear,
and tell me candidly is it true? "
Before God, 1 swear it." And a mo-
ment later she added: And he never
kept his word"

got to saw" asked the court, a trihe
alphabetically.
During the pause that immediately
ensued, Miriam Challoner wondered
what Murgatroyd would say; what he
could say: what was left for him to
say. The prosecutor stood in the CEN
tire OF an open space, n looking first
at Miriam. then at Tborne, n finally
at the court, he answered gravely:-
Your Honour, I have heard the
charge. / don't see that 1t behooves me
to answer 1t at this time, nor indeed

tribunal. If it be a charge made in
earnest-as 1t seems to be-then the
only question that can possibly inter-

my duty toward the people of the
State. The charge assumes the pro-
portions of a bride to free a guilty
man. My answer is, I have convicted
Challoner. II there was a bride, 1t was
a bride that didn't work"
The court stared with the rest. Peter
Broderick gazed at Murgatroyd in
open-mouthed admiration; ever Mi
Ram felt baff1ed unaccountably.
"Mr. Thorne.'' said the court, IF this
charge be made in good faith. n even

he assented, bowling.

SAMUEL A. SMITH TELLS
TROUBLES OF CENSUS MAN
Nan Who Has Been Appointed Supervisor in This D fstne
RebeaLs Difficulties Under Which the
Enun1erators Habe to Work.

Samuel A. Smith, of 791 Lake street,
who has been appointed census super
visor of Essex county, and who was
supervisor of the county in 1900, said
today that the work would begin next
April, and be completed in six months.
There is really a census taken every
five years Mr.. Smith said THE ma
tional census comes every ten years and
the State counts heads every ter
years. The national census can truth
fully be said to be W. in one. Be
sides that of persons, a census is taken
OF all the manufacturing plants, giving
the capital, number of employees,
wages paid, value of products and so
forth.
1.-THE first step is to find out how
many enumerators are needed. Enough
work must be given to each to keep Him
busy and let him make enough money
TO give him a fair wage. Enumerators
are paid so much for every name they
collect, and not too much. The work
must be finished on time, you know
w count all the votes that were
polled at the general election and multi
ply them by five. Every voter is sup
posed to represent that many persons.
The election districts are divided up
and the enumeratcr given the exact
amount of work he can handle
"A man never goes over half a dis
trict and then quits. IIe can't quit.
When a numerator Is appointed and
takes his oath of office, he can't resign
until the work Is finished. If he does he
is liable to Indictment by the govern
ment.
Last censu we employed 100 u
errators. Next year we will probably
have to get more. The blanks We have
to fill out for every man, woman and
child includes spaces for name. age,
color. nationality, occupation and a few
other things"
viii DIR. Cooks two companions be
included? ?" fine interviewer asked.
"They certainly will" he answered
emphatically, "if they stay in the
try until April"
do you believe they will prove DR..
Cooks claim?' he was asked.

some pretty hard propositions" Mr..
Smith said, h%urriedly. Especially
among foreigners. 1t is a curious thing.
that If the enumerator can get one for
elgner in a tenement house to give him
the facts all the others will follow the
example. If he can't get one to supply
the information he is in hard straights.
He has to find a policeman to help
him.
"Do the questions have to be an

his scornful glance.

by this conviction"
''what was our compact?' he asked
sternly.
Miriam's courage was returning; it
was with an indignant ton that she
replied:
"That you should set my husband
freei"
Murgatroyd tapped the table with
his hand.
And have I failed as YETI"
Yes" she answered fercely. you
have convicted him."
Murgatroyd drew his head slightly
to one side; pursed up his lips; drew
his brows together; and narrowed his
eyes before he spoke:
Ibid you assume for an instant, Mrs.
Challoner, that l was such a bungler
as to release your husband at the first
trial-for all the world to know-to

Challoner never retained a very clear

Quickly recovering. she looked up at
him. Somehow his face seemed to hold
little resentment now-too little, in
fact. to suit her surprising desire to
humble herself in his sight.
After all, she's rather a fool of a
woman his expression had plainly
said to her overweight senses, "and
I will spare her" inc yet she craved
so to hear words of pardon from his
lips. that she broke out almost breath

ffT CAME here again, thinking, per-

from Mrs. Challoner, who, unattended,
had found her way into the prosecutors
office.
Murgatroyd quickly laid down his
cigar. Doubtless he was annoyed, but
in spite of himself he could not help
admiring the pluck which she showed
in coming directly to him: n as he
came forward to meet her, he saw that
1t was with difficulty that she kept on
her feet. For a ONE they faced each
other in silence, yet in the eyes of each
there was a look of fearful misunder-
standing. Again the woman spoke.
What have you to say to me,?"
Murgatroyd frowned, his bearing
slipped off some of its difference when
he retorted in a voice full of emotion:
