On the ground he spied scraps Of corn
bread and an empty bottle. Winslow
shifted at the latter. and made a wry
face. Poor little girl" he said, smil-
ing, with a plying shake Of the head.
One little crust he picked up and
slipped into his pocket, glancing
sh~amefacedly at a squiTred, which,
perched on a nearby limb, seemed to
note the action With a teasing tilt Of
its head and a mocking chatter.
Unlike Owatoga's direct course
through the swampy underground,
Winslow's unfamiliar feet led him by
a circuitous path to the base OF a hill
on the opposite side from which the
Indian and Lavender had emerged the
night before.
Here he paused, and taking the dia-
gram from his pocket, studied it again.

festoons of ivy looped from tree and
shrub. 1t was inviting-but it was

Obedient to the impulse of fatigue
he sat down to rest against the trunk
of a sycamore whose roots coiled about
him like protecting arms. Not fal
away lay the stretch of swampy under,
growth; a few PAGES to his right
doomed the hill like a mound made
with giant hands-steep, sharp, with
out purpose in the landscape.
He was pondering whether to ascend
or skirt its base, when his attention
was held by the figure of a mar coming
slowly down. His step vas firm anC

know the value of a good reputation
in our business. and if we had no
higher standard of honor than that it
would be sufficient to keep us honest.
] think that if you will inquire among
the people with whom We have done
business you will find we bear an ex-
cellent name for honesty. This mis-
conception of thievish tendencies is
inherited, and it has been fostered by
the depredations of many wanderers
who are not gypsies at all, but have
taken to a nomadic existence for
sheer love of idleness and freedom
from responsibility. l know of French
men, of Irishmen and of Germans who
travel about the country posing as
gypsies, when they have not a drop
of gypsy blood in their veins and none
of the gypsy code of living.
Some of us are fairly well educat-
! ed. Much of that education has been
| obtained by contact with the world,
but the world is a good university, and
one doesn't forget the lessons one
learns there. When a gypsy leaves
the life of his forefathers and applies
himself to the usual pursuits of civ
i~lization, he generally succeeds, which
proves that the gypsy is a mar of in
telligence. / have a cousin who is

Look at me. Do I look like an

Tom Stanley is a well-set-up mar
above the average height, no darker
than most dark men of Caucasian
blood. He speaks English well, and
away from the environments of his
summer camp has as little of the all
of the gypsy-the gypsy of fiction
that is-as a business man.
yet people picture me and my
people in their imaginations as half
savage wanderers, akin to the Egyp
tians or the orientals. Look at this
little girl of mine. Does she look like

He thrust forward a bashful tot oil

child with big blue eyes. She, too

idea of the gypsy as Peary is now

There have been a good many cases
when children were lost and the gyp-
sizes were suspected of kidnapping
them. Often their camps have been
searched and they have been subject
ed to much annoyance and trouble.
In no case, however, has it been
found to be true that they had taken
any children.
Origin Hard to Trace.
OF their own origin the gypsies can
give no exact account, many of them
following the popular belief that they
came originally from Egypt. The
Saracens, the Jews, the Canaanites,
the lost tribes of Israel, or the mixed
multitudes that followed Moses out
of Egypt-efforts have been made to
trace their origin to each of these
sources The most commonly accept
ed theory is that they are of Indian
origin, and their language, Romani,
shows many resemblances to the
Hindu.
Leaving thier early home in north
western India about the year 900, the
gypsy folk, driven by the irruptions of
the hordes of Genghis Khan, started
on their long march of centuries.
Taking the direction of Kabulistan
and Persia, they penetrated into
Egypt and northern Africa and mi
npotnI Wact fhp01Yoh clio ATipop ipto
Turkey.
Their earliest abiding place on the
continent of Europe was Greece. AS
early as 1898 a gypsy chieftain named
John was established with a large fol-
lowing under Venetian rule. They
are recorded in Switzerland in 141S,
in Denmark in 1920 in Italy in 1922,
in France and Spain in 1442, in Pol
and and Russia about 1900, and in
England not long after. 1t was the
~depredations and the frequent atroci-
ties practiced by these large invading
hordes that gained for the gypsies
their bad name, a name that has stuck
to them ever since.
The Last Migration.
Their last migration was to Ameri,
ca and Australia, nearly three cen
turtles later. These bands were most
ly English gypsies, although many
bands from the continent of Europe
are to be found in the United States.
But whatever nationality a tribe be-
longed to, it retained the Romani Ian
guage, the language common to all
gypsies. This is not a simple jargon
or cant. 1t is a true and complete
language, especially in the farther
east, where the gypsies have remained
compact, and it possesses a consider
able vocabulary and a highly devel-
oped system of infections. This Ian
guage has naturally been influenced
to a considerable extent by the cou
try of adoption, the broken dialect
of the English gypsies, which is the
language of the majority of the
American tribes, being a strange mix.
ture of English and Romani.
How many gypsies are there in the
world? 1t would be impossible to take
a census of these rowing people. When
they first made their appearance in
Asia and in Europe they were often
many thousands strong, under chief
tains who styled themselves counts,
or kings of Little Egypt" the gyp'
sizes encouraging the belief that they
were Egyptians suffering Punishment.

s~istance from the people whom they
encountered in their migrations. The
gypsies must number well into the
millions, for in Roumania alone and
in various parts of the Balkan re
gions, Hungary and Russia, there are
over 100000.
