But the scheme failed failed utterly. I don't know why. The letters went out and were copied broadcast and recopied, till you could see the Mariposa endless chain winding its way towards the Rocky Mountains. But they never got the ten cents. The Willing Workers wrote for it in thousands, but by some odd chance they never struck the person who had it.
It was a week before he sent his reply although he wrote many answers, each in turn revised, corrected, copied, and recopied, only to be destroyed in the end.
