Mother Receivers Daughter
After A Years Pursuit

Atlanta. April 3. Clasping
tight in her arms the little daugh-
ter whom the gypsies had stolen
over four years ago, Mrs. Mad
cline Small, the happiest woman
in the world arrived in Atlanta
this morning,
Assisted by the police she had
traced the little child to a Geor-
gia gypsy camp, and there with
the officers aid she had recover
ed the little girl. who is now ten
years old.
A pathetic feature of the case
was that the child had changed
so that the mother, who knew it
only as a baby, failed to recog-
nize it atssfirst.
The little girl had forgotten en-
tirely about her mother, and had
only dim memories Of her life in
Auburn, ENew York, the former
home Of the family.
The child who is slender and
pretty, walks with a peculiar
side long motion, caused, the
police believe. by the fact that
ever since she was old enough to
be of any help the gypsies have
made her carry their babies. in q
bundle, in her right arm and
resting on her right hip, Gypsy
fashion.
The recovery of the little cir
lis more like the feature of some
piece of fiction than an episode ir
real life.
The mother has been pursuing
the gypsy band for four years.
and had traced them all over the
west and back again to this par
of the country before she came
up with them.
