KauIIa and resorted to spying for liv-
ing.
She managed to make the acquaint-
ance of the Minister OF War by asking
an audience OF him, for the purpose OF
securing his Intervention with her for
mer husband, whose signature she pre-
tended TO require for some purpose or
other. The Minister became completely
subjugated by her charms and soon 9ot
to be a frequent visitor TO her house.
The latter was situated within q stones
throw Of the Elysee, and on the days
when the Cabinet councils were held at
the Presidential Palace, the susceptible
old General would regularly stroll
across, after the meeting was over, TO
her residence to share her MONDAY

HOW THE BARONESS WORKED HIM.
On these occasions the Baroness and
the General always remained pretty
long at table-the cuisine was as ex-
cellent as the wines were generous
and during that time couple OF Prus-
sian officers belonging to the Head
quarters staff at Berlin, and who were
attached TO Nine. de Kaulla's household
in the guise OF footmen, were In the
habit of carefully perusing the contents
of the Generals ministerial portfolio,
which, with almost criminal insouci-
ance, he would invariably leave In the
salon during the repast. Stenographic
notes were rapidly made OF the docu-
ments contained in the portfolio,
and that same afternoon the Ger
man authorities at Berlin were In pos
session of detailed report OF everything
that had taken place st the Cabinet
council held at the Elysee under the
Presidency of Marshal Mcmahon, just
three or four hours previously.
or course, q moment arrived when all
this became known, and it resulted in
the Generals removal from the Office OF
War Minister and his retirement from
the army with cloud Of such heavy
popular opprobrium hanging over his
head that 1t was not long before he sue

be called broken heart, was certainly

There was very little excuse for Gen
eral de Cjssy, since he should have
known who the woman was, as only a
couple of years previously she had been
literally driven out of London by
more reputable female diplomatist,
Nine. de Nevikof. The latter, on srrv-
ing In London after stay in Russia,
found Nine. de Kaulla enjoying d con-
siderable amount OF social prestige and
currency. She had beautiful house In
Queens Gate, Hyde Park, and was
welcome guest In all the diplomatic
and official salons of the British metro
polls, the briIiancy Of her conversation,
her beauty and her perfect taste Ia
dress rendering her particularly con-
spicuous.
Nine. de Novikoff at once Informed
her friends OF the antecedents OF the
lady, as well OF the fact that she had
been expelled by the Russian police
from st. Petersburg as German spy,
and also as blackmailer.
Lord Granville was made acquainted
with this during reception at the For

WRECKED AN AMBASSADOR.
Another Baroness Of the same kind,
who has achieved similar, though NOS
altogether as great notoriety. is the So
called Baroness de Kurth, who almost
succeeded In Wrecking the career OF the
Marquis de RsYersaux. now French
Ambassador at Madrid, but formerly
Minister ct Cairo. She spent two win
tiers In the Egyptian capital, and her
association with the MARQUIS was the
talk OF that scandal-lovinR place. She
enjoyed the reputation OF Influencing
the policy Of the French envoy In behalf
of the German government, and Is ReDer-
ally believed TO have been one OF the
prime movers Of the abortive coup d. etat
of the KEedive in connection with the
dismissal from the premiership Of Mus
taphs Fehmi Pacha, and which consti-
tuted such defeat for Frances diplo-
macy. On her return to Paris she es-
tablished herself 10 luxurious apart

her salon was cutie as much frequent

member of the French Foreign Office
and Government as that of the celebrat-

ALL YOUNG FELLOWS.
RAILROAD thieves are mostly young
men. From boyhood up they havs lived
by robbing the railroads. They begin
by robbing coal cars. Next they strike
link pins, bolts and chains. The rail-
roads lose thousands of dollars through
them every year. Two of the smartest
railroad thieves of these youths are
George Smith and John Smith. Both are,
or were, for they are now behind
prison bars, the smartest and most dar-
ing thieves. They are known to have
killed men and buried them In the
swamps. They were fearless rascals,
especially George. whose superior In
telligence. good address, smooth tongue
and neat appearance. easily enaoled
him to pass as young mechanic. he
graduated from a public school and was
apprenticed in a machine shop. he
knows everything connected with rail-.
roads. Both are active young men, and
great workers. They were given over
to the police by a vindictive junkman. "
