ABANDONED BY GYPSIES
SHORT LIFE OF LUCY COLE
 WRAPPED IN MYSTERY,
Frc:n Fragments Obtained of Her Story, It is Thought That She Was Stolen-She is Now
 Being Cared For.

Florence, Dec. 1s.-(Special )-Friendless and | far from home, ignorant even of the State | from which she came. but stil longing for the
 parents and little sister she may never see | again, the short life of Lucy Cole. who was deserted in this city by a band of gypsies has been a tragedy into which has been crowded l more misery and heart ache than falls to the lot of most persons. About ten years old with brown eyes and hair, she has the appear | ance of child who might have good blood in her veins. but left to the tender mercies of her captors. she has become a little savage, in manner not unlike the young Arab 1t has been her business to nurse.
 How long she has been with the gypsIes can only be surmised from her manner and ap- pearance, for she does not remember and the story told to the people to whom she was given by the gypsieS is evidently false
 According to therR the child was given to them by her mother a month ago in Illinois. and their reason for abandoning her was that she cried all the time. But this story is not corroborated by Lucy. When questioned, she refuses to answer because. as she says she Is afraid to gypsies will come back and get her. but her adventures, gathered fin frag- ments when she is off her guard by Mrs Lindsay. the kind woman who has taken DItv on her and given her a temporary home are about these: She was playing about in tba woods near her home when an old yvonnn asked her to eat dinner with her Suddenly she was snatched up and put in a wagon under a cover and told if she screamed she would be killed.
 Though her memory Is very hazy, she dwells constantly upon events of her home life Look ing up suddenly she will tell of the ''heapa and heaps of water she crossed in a skin with her father and mother, Digger than this house. .', Of the new home they moved into when her Iather went to town and bought everything new; new. or her little sister, Annie; and of the Sunday school songs her mother taught hor
