81 wouldn't give a cent for a man who
wouldn't tell a girl when he loves her.
Who is she?"
"Your friend, Miss Baker"
What! Martha Baker? Oh, this Ii
too good. It's almost as good as If it had
been me, and I'm half sorry it wasn't.
You come right over to Martha's house
right now and tell her you love her. II
you don't come with me now I'll send for
her to come here. You've got to propose
to her right away, and I'm going to stand
by and see you do. And let me congrat-
ulate you now-for she has read those
letters"
Phillips finally begged off, but prom
ised to call that night on Miss Baker,
and he pledged his word to Molly En-
trekin that he would propose before the
end of the month. And Molly, as Don
as she had refused to see Aylette when
he called, rushed off to tell Martha, and
they talked all afternoon and cried a lit
tie bit, as girls do.
Phillips really proposed inside Of
two weeks and was accepted. And Molly
showed the letters to every girl in their
crowd, as she told the story, and one of
them copied two of them-so the secret
of the plagiarized letters became known
to all Baltimore.
1t is said that Aylette is now working
in New York or Philadelphia. and

Miss Molly Relents.
When Mollie Entrekin got that letter
she sat down in the middle of the floor
and read it. Then she said: well, of
all things" Then she read it again.
Then she said: 81 never heard of such
a thing" Then she reread it, and, clasp
ing her arms around her knees, sat on
the floor and studied.
81 don't know why he wrote me such
a letter" she said to herself. eff the fool
man is in love with me, why don't he
tell me so? Don't dare to come near
me, don't he? I've noticed that he's
been hanging around here two or three
nights a week."
Finally she got up and said: ANY
how, I'll write him a nice letter that will
cure him" And she wrote. 1t was a
kind, sisterly letter, and the burden of it
was: Impossible; 1 don't love you"
But there was no doubt that the letter
had started Molly Entrekin to thinking.
She read it over and W 1t partly i'm
pressed, partly puzzled her. 1t wasn't
a bit like Aylette.
Three days later there came another
astonishing missive.
That time Molly read seriously.
Again the tone of the letter puzzled her,
and she wondered if he had not received
herrejection before writing, and thought
it strange that he did not mention it.
MEN in love are such FOOLS" said
Molly, and, taking the two letters, she
went over to see her dearest chum, Mar
tina, and consult with her aboutit Mar
tina read the letters, and then she said:
molly, if a man ever wrote to me that
way I'd love him just in spite of myself"
I'm afraid I'm beginning to like
him." said Molly. maybe | misjudged

she hardly knew her own heart-and to
GENE to her the moment he returned
from Richmond.
The following day there came another
letter, tenderer, more exalted, higher in
tone than the other, breathing the de-
spair of an unloved lover exalted by the
purity of his love.
And Molly was conquered. 81 never
did like the man." she said to Martha.

Engaged But Not Happy.
So that night Molly EntreBin, in her
own boudoir, sat down and wrote her
first love letter, and became engaged to

that he might have another man to
"take her chum off his hands" during
the evening.
1t was that evening Ferman Phillips
met his fate in the shape of pretty Mar
tina Baker, Molly Entrekin's chum, who
if the truth were known-had been
summoned by Molly when she knew Ay-
lette's call was inevitable.
Molly's plan failed. Instead of help

THE HEROINE A BALTIMORE SOCIETY BELLE
Her Lover Appropriated Tender MissiVes or
q Friend to His Ultimate S~orrow-Dis-
closure Brings Happiness to Two.

Baltimore, Md.-This is a story of
how a lover lost his sweetheart
through his ardent, but p~lagiarized,
love letters. Walter Aylette's sin
found him out, but the disclosure
brought happiness to his friend and
roommate, Ferman Phillips.
The principals in the remarkable
and interesting love drama are Mol
ly Entrekin, one of the bellies of this
city, her chum, Martha Baker, Walter
Aylette, son of a prominent Richmond
family high in society and reputed
wealthy, and Ferman Phillips, who
although poor, comes from a distin-
guished line of ancestors.
Aylette. it is charged by the other
three parties to the case, plagiarized
the brilliant love epistles that Ferman
Phillips wrote in secret to Martha
Baker and, by changing them slightly,
came near winning the love of
Miss Entrekin through them and
their passionate force. The discovery
was made but a few days before the
wedding was to have taken place, and
the girl with the glamour of the false
spell dissipated, dismissed Aylette, de-
claring him an impostor and cheat.
Phillips and Aylette were friends
and lived in the same boarding house.
Why Aylette should have been living
in Baltimore in Obscurity few outside
OF the friends who were aware of
mis- wildness and dissipation at Rich
mond knew. He was a handsome fell
low, dark, dashing and romantic.
Phillips. on the other hand, was timid,
and the gayeties that Aylette sought
he Stunned, or was too bashful to par
ticipate in.
Phillips Meets His Fate.
Aylette was reading law in a down
town office and Phillips was striving
for a living in a prominent mercantile
house. While all business, so far as
even his closest friends know. he
really was a dreamer, and he aspired
to write novels and plays. He had
come into Baltimore without resources
and worked hard. By accident he was
thrown into contact with Walter
Aylette, and the result was a strange
kntertwining of fates. Aylette, through
his family's prominence, had the entree
to many homes, and one evening, by
insistence, he persuaded Phillips to
accompany him to the home of Miss
Molly Entrekin, daughter of a wealthy
merchant. Aylette did not tell Phil
lipps, but he invited him to go merely

to the condition described by Mr.. Will

St. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is All ex-

count of a trying experiences;
"In the spring of 1902" he says,
"while I was regularly working at my

the boarding house that night, Aylette
confessed to Phillips that he did not
particularly love Miss E%ntrekin, but
that she was rich and that he was go
ing to win her. Disguised, sickened
by the attitude Of his friend, which
came as a rude awakening from the
dreams that he himself had been
dreaming, Phillips turned to go to MS
room. There, with the vision of the
bright-eyed, fair-haired girl before him,
he resolved never again to go near her,
realizing, as he thought, the impossi-
bility of ever winning the love OF Mar
tina Baker. He held to his determina-
ton. Two or three times the girl in
uuired of Aylette why he never brought
Mr.. Phillips with him to call, and she
admitted to Miss Entrekin that she
had been interested in the reserved,
handsome young fellow. Once she
frankly asked Aylette to bring Phil
lipps to call. but the message was never
delivered. and Aylette lied about it to
her. telling her Phillips preferred not
to come, and the girl, surprised and

Phillips became more silent than yer
and worked harder, refusing to join in
any of the little pleasures of the others
in the boarding house. Once n OF
the girls in the house teasingly asked
him if he was in love, and he flushed
and left the room.
Aylette, to all appearances, was
making no better progress in his eff
forts to win the love of Miss Entrekin,
and he departed for Richmond for a
f~ortnight's vacation without receiving
one sign of encouragement.
Beginnisg of Love Letters.
Then. suddenly, there began to come
to Molly Entrekin, day after day, let
ters overlooking with tenderness, love,
and passion; love letters such as swept
the hearts of her grandmothers by
! stOrm-1owery, imaginative, beautiful
love letters, such as girls read and re-
read in the privacy of their wv rooms
and grandmothers kiss when they find
them hidden in the bottoms of old
trunks. The letters were from Walter
Aylette, and they revealed to Molly
Entrekin a depth of feeling, of power
and passion, of love and tenderness
and yearning that she had never sus-
pected existed in the man. She was
astoniShed.
Three of the letters, which have been
made semi-public by the events that
followed, have been circulated among

while waiting for her coffee and orange

Excitedly Molly left the table, and 60

note.

You must come before noon. 1t is an i'm

Phillips, surprised, read the note and
unmindful of Bobbie, rushed for a car.
Twenty minutes later he was ushered
into the morning room at the Entrekin
residence.
"Mr. Phillipps," began Molly, nerv-
ously, "did you put this advertisement
in the paper?"
She handed him the morning paper,
in which anneared an adj.

"Are these the letters?" asked Molly,

They are copies of mine, or part of them.
