of six years. she followed a wandering
hand organ man away from her home
one morning. The hand organ man
had a monkey and. attracted by the an

suit. With the hand organ man she
travelled westward and finally found
| her way to the Pacific coast.
There she grew up, forgetting her
name and the names of her relatives
and only retaining a dim memory Of
the scenes OF her birthplace.
IL was this dim memory which has
finally restored her TO her relatives
who have never forgotten the missing
child. Mrs. Smith has been twice mar
ried.
In 1884 she came with her family TO
Silver city. y. NJ. where she buried
her husband and all of her -four chill
dren. Feeling the years creeping Oh
she longed for more knowledge of her
own people. Three years z she
came TO Albuquerque and began the
search for her relatives. She adver-
