Ho.0 Dan Cupid Helped in
One of the Most Startling
Sui,,dles of the 7in1e--
Many Influential Men Are
Numbered Among the Un-
happy Victims.

He would not hesitate to make love
anywhere. He showered kisses as
well as presents upon Mrs. Verr4ult.
When dining out he could not restrain
himself in falling upon his knees at
her feet and. kissing her hand. He
would write the most gushing love let
tiers of all the group of infatuated
dupes.
II find myself speaking your name
when awake" he would write, and
then go into raptures over her beauty.
The burning love missives were a
source of much merriment at the daily
cabinet sessions of the love troupe.
Actor Keene would read them with
the greatest gusto and accentuate the
most tender passages. Keen said the
letters could be made into thrilling
love drama, and he had a good mind
to do it himself.
The Wall street broker, F. ]. Syme,
whose name was used in connection
with the fuel scheme, was an unwill-
ing victim, it is said, of the syndicate.
He fell in with the fuel idea, believing
that the company had acres Of fertile
land in Kentucky. He called at the
love palace many times to get point
ers about fuel. It is said that the
broker invested considerable money
in the scheme.
Mrs. Verrault Had
Real Love Affair.
Among the real love affairs that
Mrs. Verrault was interested in was
one with 4 Boston lawyer. She was
greatly attached to him. Ono day
| after he had failed to call around and
see her at her Boston home she went
to his Office and created a scene. The
lawyer ordered her out. The next day
Mrs. Verrault was taken to a hospital.
Her nerves were all unstrung and it
was alleged she had taken bichloride
of mercury in an effort to end her
life.
Mcclellan, the Philadelphia, has
been quite upset because of the fuss
he has caused in, having his erstwhile
sweetheart arrested. The next day
after Mrs. Verrault appeared in court
Mcclellan came to town and tele-
| phoned to the West Eighty-second
street mansion. He got Mrs. Brown
on the phone and told her he was
sorry he had caused all the trouble.
If Mrs. Verault would return the pres.
ents he had lavished upon her be
would withdraw the charge.
Go on, you fool" was the snappy
reply. ms. Verault doesn't care
what you do
Mcclellan, the picture of despair,
chance to speak to his lady love, but
when Mrs. Verrault emerged from the
mansion she swept by him as though
he didn't exist.
The Philadelphia Lover
Kicked Over the Traces
The wall of all the overthrown suit
ors has been that they lost so much
money. 1t is this very thing that
has given Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Yer
rault such keen delight. In one of he1
merry moods Mrs. Verault said:
What a fine spectacle this is, all
these men having me arrested because
1 was too sharp for them! They are
fortune-hunters, and of a very low
type. They are like the foreign no
blemen who come over here to win
rich American girls, but they go it on
a cheap scale. They think the Ameri
can women soft, and all they have tc
do is to look wall-eyed at them and
they will break their necks to hand
them money. They only called be
cause they wanted to get homes where
they wouldn't have to work. I really
think that I have done a service te
American women in showing these
brutes up.
