are made for use of the companies of
the Bell system, have, of course, differ

years ago. They are fashioned from a

needed for a husband and over 200 of
them requested a photograph.
The girl struggled with the batch of
correspondence for over week, per-
sonally answering nearly all of the
letters and sending out over 200 of her
photographs. The result of that VEN
ture and the subsequent correspondence
was that she found herself $26.40 ahead
of the game.
Shortly thereafter she stamped an
other big batch of letters with her
declaration that she wanted husband,
and received another deluge of letters
from all parts of the country.
Within two months she had over $3.50
in bank and had established herself
with over 400 regular correspondents,
most of whom had received her photo
graph.
About this time. it seems, letter
carrier noting the weekly deluge of
letters addressed to the girl, suspected
that something irregular might be
going on, and reported the case.
The following week S25 letters were
delivered to Miss Steppan on Monday,
412 on Tuesday, Sc on Wednesday, ,113
on Thursday, Al on Friday and 2S. on
Saturday. The inspector grew curious,
but, after seeing the girl and watching
her at work in the mail order house,
concluded that she was honest and let
the matter rest. He reported to the de-
partment that the indications were that
the girl had adopted some fad such as
collecting postmarks. He was ordered
to watch for, Developments, and nothing
further waJ done for weeks.
Knew Nothing of the Plans
All this time Crider knew nothing of
his sweetheart's plans or her venture
into the field of finance. Every week,
usually on Friday, Mamie attached her
name to q new batch of letters. being
and make sure that she was not send
ing her declaration that she wanted a
husband twice to the same man.
After four months she had $1,000 in
bank, a lot of new clothes, and had
started to furnish a little fiat to suit
her own taste. She saw Crider every
other evening and smiled to herself as
he deplored their poverty and be-
moaned the impossibility Of getting
married
Then the postofiice inspectors de-
scended again. This time the letter
carrier reported that he had delivered
over 400 letters to the girl in one day.
Thinking that Miss Steppan was carry
ing on some endless chain scheme, the
inspector determined to open a few OF
the letters addressed to her and dis

The result was that the inspector
plunged his hands into the sweetest,
softest, mellowest lot Of love letters
ever written. He wallowed In dear
ests" and ''darlings," in impassioned
declarations of love, in earnest plead
ings In manly offers to wed. Also he
found stamps, many OF them--two cent,
four cent. five cent. ten cent, green,
red anG brown. And he suspected
something
He made hurried call at the mail
order house and found that the propri-
etors were IN dense ignorance OF any
thing concerning Miss Steppan's love
affairs He asked permission to search
her desk ana he discovered the rubber
stamp.
The Inspector hurried then 10 Miss
stephens home and confronted her
with the stamp and the other evidence.
