was one w. Sanford Ramey, who
had come from the East and pre-
sumably brought out these two
girls. lie had with him a book
which they sold by subscription. 1t

given TO address a certain post
office box, and if the applicant re-

ter TO the stated address. She got
an answer and when she applied at
No. 10 Eleventh street she was
spotted by an officer appointed for
the purpose and Swallowed to her
home on Post street. The authori-
ties had read the advertisement and
determined to prevent the contin-
gency of any decent girls being run
off for improper purposes by de-
signing advertiser. After locating
her the officer called upon an "Ex-
aminer" reporter and invited him to
accompany him to the residence of
the young lady.
The invitation was accepted, and
Miss Dolly was aroused from her
slumbers. She greeted her visitors
in a rich wrapper.
''Have you engaged to go to Los
Angeles with the man who placed
this advertisement in the papers ?
was asked by the reporter as the
scrap of paper was passed to her.
ooh, Mr.. Ramey is his name.
Yes, l have-well, l told him l
would let him know" was the reply.
"What business does he say that
you will be employed at?"
''He didn't say. He said that he
wanted us to go to New Orleans by
the way of Los Angeles. He said
that he had two very smart girls
already, who were making money
here in the city,"
'What are their names?"
"They came with him from tho
East. One is Miss Howard, tall
blonde, and the other is Miss
Young, 1 believe, her sister"
'Did he not tell you what they
were doing?'
"No, but he said / was to bt
treated as they were, if L suited
and he felt sure 1 would. He said
that he travelled with his wife in
special train, together with tn,
girls. They made periodical stop!

agreement, in which it was exactet
that L should have nothing to de
with men during the term of my
contract"
"Does he say that he has a spe

Fourth and Townsend streets. HI
will start the day after tomorrow.
"And you are going with him?'
"Well, he appeared to be very
nice young man, but since the Off
GERS evidently suspect him, 1 will
think over the matter again"
The railroad authorities were
visited the next day and knew no
thing of any special train whatever
This looked as though Mr.. Rame,
was a fraud.
The gentleman himself was mex
called upon, and when the reporte
informed him of his mission he be
came uneasy. He stated that HI
was gentleman and graduate o
an Illinois college. He had com
piled book entitled ''Kings of tn
Battlefield" which he wished these
| young ladies to sell. Miss Howard
he said was doing brilliantly witt
the work. He had no one els
