in New York.
Mrs. Browns money had disappear

and she secured position as cloak

on Eighty-second street. One day she
saw an advertisement for a steno-

few days was on very good terms
with a Wall street man who has a
large family.
The Wall street mans wife died and
he wanted Mrs. Brown to marry him.

He INDUCED her every whim. but he
failed to win her for wife.
She worked the personal columns
of newspapers to great advantage.
A Broad street stockbroker fell vio-
lently in love with Mrs. Brown and
wanted to elope with her. She got
much money out of him. but did not
elope, because there were other adver-
tisements and other candidates were
calling.
When the love business got too

for Mrs. Verrault, and that accommo-

her husband. then in Baltimore. and
the steady procession OF love-lorn men
and fortune hunters continued.
Mrs. Brown did not rely entirely
upon the advice of Mrs. Verrault in

was an actor connected with a Broad

project began to bring in substantial
returns he quit the stage and took a
job as butler in the household.

Whenever an accepted applicant for
love honors would appear he would
be wined and dined until he was

work was to float a few thousand

The concern lasted long enough to
take in about $4,000.
One feature of the love-plant was
spiritualistic show in which Mrs.
Verrault would tell the millionaires
all kinds of queer stories that spirits
were telling.
