Romance Ended, He Writes Beav-
erS to Recover Picture From
Atlanta Hairdresser.

From far-off California Thursday
came the wall of a sad heart shat
tered by a fair Atlanta enchantress
Chief Beavers received a letter in
which w. n. Stetzer, a resident of
Long Beach, complained at length
and with many deep sdghs plainly be-
tween the lines that Miss Bessie VIII
liman, whose letterheads showed her
to be the proprietor of a hairdress-
ing establishment and barber shop on
Peachtree Street, had beguiled him
with the beauty Of her photographs
and then had suddenly dropped him
without a word of explanation.
He had become acquainted with
her, he said, through an advertise
ment for husband she inserted In a
Long Beach paper. He replied and
sent his photographs. She answered
and sent hers
He wrote again. Then came the
hiatus in their correspondence. He
heard nothing more from her.
You will think it unreasonable for
me to write to you" he said in his
letter to Chief Beavers. but l now
have reason to doubt her sincerity
She has letters and photographs OF
mine. They are my property and
feel that l must call upon you to re-
cover them for me-"
Thus was the romance ended.
