 Tho envelope bore the postmark of Guttsnburg, N.

When Super @ntspdsnt Fuller and one of his detec- the unfortunate girl was locked in an upper room. The girl was returned to her parents' home, but before leaving here she told MT.

 prepossessing woman in Meriden some tims ago." said he, "who induced her 10 como to this oity. She accompanied the woman to flat in the vicinity of to . good looking young man wearing e black mustache. After partaking of some wine, she knew nothing more until she found herself alone tho fol lowing morning in tho room in tho house near 4uttehburg Then she dis covered that she had been ruined, and that tho woman whom she had trusted was responsible for her condition.
 ''She tried tho doors of her room, but found them locked. Here she was con- fined for several days and subjected to yarious oruslties. Finally she discov- cred an old envelope and . scrap of soiled paper under a pile of rubbish. She had no writing materials. but, cutting her gums until the blood flowed, she succeeded, with the aid of . pointed stick, in laboriously writing in letters of crimson the letter to her father dis closing her place of confinement.
 After much difficulty she succeeded in inducing an old woman, who acted as a servant at the house, to mail the letter. The girl said that she never slept after the old woman told her that the letter had been safely deposited at the post office until she was finally rescued"
 The father of the girl called for his daughter and took her at once to his home, but not until he had made arrangements with MF. Fuller to follow up ths vile woman who had decoyed her away.
 Superintendent Fuller thinks that he has clews that will lead to the recovery of Amelia Elaves, of Southington, Conn.,, and hopes to be able to return her to her parents in few days.
