L. Weber, near Pamplins, and her
heart is being eaten out with the de
sire to know the love of her own
mother and father or to find someone
of her own blood whom she may
claim as protector.
The girl was left at the WebDer
house on December l, 1901, by Jim
Govel, or Goble, and Mary Stanley
who travelled as man and wife and
who are gypsies. There had been
quarrel between the two over the
purchase of a pair of shoes for the
child, and they decided to leave her
and be rid of her forever.
She may have been taken original
ly in the hope of ransom or merely
because a pair of gypsies were child
less, and this little one, playing in
the road near her home, was beautl-
full and appealed to them by her in
nocence and beauty.
Her story is of the most romantic
kind. and, told in her own words, is
as follows:
Il was playing in the road near
my home, when a woman came along
and picked me up. She put me in
a wagon and drove away very rapid
| ly. My home was tall, white house
with a porch in front. The yard was
inclosed with palings, and there was
gate in front, opening on big
road.
1--WE lived with the woods around
us and the town in easy reach. We
had lots of cows and horses, and we
children had plenty of nice things.
Il had brother nearly grown ana
he used to bring big pieces of slate
home for US children.
81 remember papa coming home
of an evening, and believe he must
have been connected with some big
coal works, for his clothes were gen.
orally smutty, and he would wash
and put on nice clothes at night and
wear his smutty ones away in the
morning.
"My sisters called me Becky, but
do not recall any other family
name''
The girl was asked if she wanted
to see her father and mother and
sisters, and her reply was: ABOVE
| all things in the world"
| Her voice was choked with sobs
as she said this. She still remem-
bers that her kidnapper treated her
so cruelty that she ran away to an
| ~
camp, and in this way she fell into
the hands of Mary Stanley and her
husband
She cannot remember the name of
the first gypsy woman. She remem-
bers that she never travelled over
water, and therefore, 1t is believed
that she is an American girl and
that her parents are somewhere in
this country. She says she always
travelled in wagons.
She remembers that her home was
in a colder climate and that there
was a great deal more snow and ice
than in Virginia.
Today Becky is five feet three
inches tall, slender, with light brown
nalr, hazel or blue eyes, modest and
very refined in her manners, despite
her rough life, and is about Is years
old
She describes Mary Stanley as
dark OF complexion, black, wavy
hair, and Jim Govel as of Irish de-
scent, and with red, sandy hair.
For the sake of restoring the girl
to her parents all newspapers are re-
quested to copy this article and anv

for a couple of weeks in the summer.
which. too. is done with the sober in
tent OF trying to find some rich girl to
fascinate-and when a fool goes fool

and a pure minded woman would revolt
at the thought of such a one. but girl
often mistakes a senseless infatuation
for love. and there is one thing very
certain-a proud. sensitive woman, ac-
customed to the, refinements of life. can
not be happy amid sordid surroundings.
Love that\feasts only on self-sacrifice
rebels against the unwholesome diet. A
man who has not been habituated to the
tainty influence of wealth and culture
becomes repulsive to woman who has
never known aught else when thrown
with him in the daily contact of married
life.
Sweethearts and husbands are two
different breeds. and you can't make

drives the maiden fair out of doors to
seek the cooling breath. while she longs
for long rambles with greater longing
for some dear companionship, and very
naturally prefers the masculine COM
panion, and so drift into the sly Hirta-
tion.
Now, no woman. no matter how old or
passe. with good working memory
should blame a girl for enjoying just
such delicious delirious moments as she
recalls with sigh. The woman who
has never coquetted must have been too
ugly or TOO disagreeable TO have had the
chance. II is just as natural for a
woman to love admiration as ii is for
her TO lave her face or TO arrange her
hair, and | would not give a snap for
the woman who did not. There is some
thing wrong about her. but there is a
wide dividing line between serious firta-
tion and the midsummer madness of
coquetry.
A woman needs spice of coquetry TO
make her attractive. and it is a fascina-
ton that is acknowledged both by mel
and women. 1t cannot be defined being
more the charm of sublety undefinabie
but all potential.
Filtration, on the other hand, is the
morbid vanity that delights in conquest
with or without reason. confirmed

conquest OF coachman as she would
be over enslaving a man of social or
financial Importance. II is simply a
question of the homage exacted by
vanity.

She sorgets that the absence OF the

does not realize that continual round
