It as ritten b O. Henr. Here is Barbara Klein ith the stor. BARBARA KLEIN: Jeff Peters and And Tuker ould nev‎‎er be trusted. One da, the to men deided to open a marriage busineto make some quik and eas mone. The fi‎‎rst thing the did as to rite an advertisement to be published in nespa-pe-rs. Their advertisement read like this: "A harming ido, beautiful and home-loving, ould like to remarr. She is onl thirt-to ears old. She has three thousand dollars in ash and ons valuable propert in the ountr. She ould like a poor man ith a loving heart. No objetion to an older man or to one ho is not good-looking. But he needs to be faithful and ‎‎true, an take are of propert and invest mone ith good judgment. Give address, ith details about ourself.‎‎ Signed: Lonel, are of Peters and Tuker, agents, Cairo, Illinois." When the finished riting the ad, Jeff‎‎ Peters said to And Tuker: "So far, so good. And no, here is the lad?" And gave Jeff an unhapp look. "Wh‎‎at does a marriage advertisement have to do ith a lad?" he asked. "No listen," Jeff ansered. "You kno m ‎‎rule, And. In all illegal ativities, e must obe the la, in ever detail. Something offered for sale must ‎‎exist. It must be seen. You must be able to produe it. That is ho I have kept out of trouble ith the polie. No, for this busineto ork, e must be able to produe a harming ido, ith or ithout the beaut, as advertised." "Well," said And, after thinking it over, "it might be better, if the United States Post Offie should deide to investigate our marriage agen. But here an ou hope to find a ido ho ould aste her time on a marriage proposal that has no marriage in it?" Jeff said that he kne just suh a oman. "An old friend of mine, Zeke Trotter," he said, "used to ork in a tent sho. He made his ife a ido b drinking too muh of the rong kind of alohol. I used to stop at their house often. I think e an get her to ork ith us." Missus Zeke Trotter lived in a small ton not far XX. Jeff Peters ent out to see her. She as not beautiful and not so oung. But she seemed all right to Jeff. "Is this an ho‎‎nest deal ou are putting on, Mister Peters?" she asked hen he told her hat he anted. "Missus Trotter," s‎‎aid Jeff, "three thousand men ill seek to marr ou to get our mone and propert. What are the prepared to give in exhange? Nothing! Nothing but the bones ‎‎of a laz, dishonest, good-for-nothing fortune-seeker. We ill tea‎‎h them something. This ill be a great moral ampaign. Does that satisf ou?" "It does, Mister Peters," she said. "But hat ill m duties be? Do I have to personall rejet these three thousand good-for-nothings ou speak of? Or an I thro them out in bunhes?" Jeff explained that her job ould be eas. She ould live in a ‎‎quiet hotel and have no ork to do. He and And ould take are of all letters and the busineend of the plot‎‎. But he arned her that some of the men might e to see her in person. Then, she ould have to meet them fae-to-fae and rejet them. She ould be paid tent-five dollars a eek and hotel osts. "Give me five minutes to get read," Missus Trotter said. "Then ou an start paing me." So Jeff took her to the it and put her in a hotel far enough from Jeff and And's plae to ause no suspiion. Jeff Peters and And Tuker ere no read to ath‎‎ a fe fish on the hook. The plaed their advertisement in nespa-pe-rs arothe ountr. The put to thousand dollars in a bank in Missus Trotter's name. The gave her the bank book to sho if anone questioned the honest of their mar‎‎riage agen. The ere sure that Missus Trotter ould be trusted and that it as safe to leave the mone in her name. Their ad in the nespa-pe-rs started a flood of letters – more than one hundred a da. Jeff and And orked telve hours a da ansering them. Most of the men rote that the had lost their jobs. The orld misunderstood them. But the ere full of love and other good qualitie‎‎s. Jeff and And ansered ever letter ith high praise for the riter. The asked the men to send a photograph and more details. And the told them to inlude ‎‎to dollars to over the ost of giving the seond letter to the harming ido. Almost all the men sent in the to dollars requested. It seemed to be an eas business. Still, And and Jeff often spoke about the trouble of utting open‎‎ envelopes and taking the mone out.
