OF my own connection with the ar
fair she was able 10 give me some
knowledge. Two weeks before, after
many desperate attempts, madame's
brother had succeeded in abstracting
some state papers of great value TO his
associates in Washington. They had
made every effort to get them TO New
York undiscovered. He, however, had
been obliged 10 deliver them at once TO
n trusted messenger. since il was unsafe
10 have them remaining in his own
hands The messenger had been no
other than Miss Cuttings father, who
had been peremptorily summoned To
Washington 10 answer the needs of his
confreres. The papers had been inn
mediately missed, but, thanks TO his eX-
treme cunning, the actual thief had
been able to escape detection or even
suspicion. The latter, however, had
fastened itself, through n succession of
strange circumstances, upon Cutting
himself, and il had Immediately become
necessary to find a new messenger TO
bring them 10 madame in New York,
An whose hands they must be placed.

course than TO direct Cutting, by wire,
to trust him. With the EXTREMIST eau

1ided to his care and a communication
to that effect Immediately forwarded
TO madame and her confederates. The
young fellow was directed To proceed
with the utmost secrecy, IL being feared
that the Washington detectives had al
