Kidnapped T was about two years ago that some gypsies were camping nearly one half mile from our claim. Their camping ground was very picturesque and pretty. They kept their horses in a nearby field, while they themselves lived mostly out of doors. We were visiting their camp and noticing their won- derful jewelry but at that time there happened to be a beautiful American girl, whom the gypsies had kid- napped, with them. Of course it took very close scru- tiny to see that she was not of the same race. She Hushed as we went over and began to talk to her. Of course she displayed ignorance. She had been told to do so. About two days later we accidentally saw this girl sitting beneath a large oak tree crying bitterly. My sister, who had recognized her. went up to see what was the matter. The girl had evidently run away from camp for she was very startled as my sister touched her. She jumped to her feet in alarm but my sister stopped her and asked what was the matter. The girl broke down and told us the whole story of her life. To begin with my name is Kathryn Goodlow and my father is a very well known and wealthy man. I had always lived a free and happy life. But one day my beloved and only sister was hurt in an automobile ac- cident. The skilled surgeons were there and one even went so far as to say she couldn't live, frightening me terribly. The next night the house next door was robbed. The man staying there had all his jewels and money in the house in his safe. We heard cries and my folks, rushing over to see what was the matter, left me alone with my sister. She was unconscious. 1 was facing the bed and there was a window opening into the balcony just behind me. I didn’t seem to notice or hear someone stealing up behind me, until suddenly a dirty hand was clapped over my mouth and a hissing voice sounded in my ears, telling me not to scream but come with them. There was nothing for me to do but go. I was absolutely powerless. 1 was then gagged, my hands and feet tied and I was carried through the window and down into a waiting automobile. Almost before 1 could realize where 1 was, I was taken away. 1 have been with the gypsies for three years now. I was fifteen when they carried me off. Last summer my father and mother passed through our camp, examining every one of the girls but before they had come 1 was taken away from camp and they threatened to kill me if I even so much as showed my face to the strangers. “My father and mother were getting reconciled t» being without me. But they were very lonesome. “I have gone to the gypsies and begged to have them send me home but they wouldn't. I have at last decided to run away. “Will you help me?” My sister and I were almost stricken dumb but finally the look on her beautiful face was too much for my sister, so she said, “Y'es.” That night she came to us and we helped her to escape to her home. Her father and mother were over- joyed to see her. My sister and I were re enfly visiting her at her sunt mer home at Long Beach, California. There may be a happier girl in the United Sta’es. 1 ut 1 hardly think so. 16 MINA CONTRYMAN.
