"To the untrained eye, the object lying next to a trash bin at Carnegie Mellon University is a black leather glove.
"To Jennifer Gooch, it was a cold, neglected symbol of loss and loneliness. So the Carnegie Mellon art student gently lifted the glove from its sidewalk resting spot yesterday, smoothing a whimsical cartoon "missing a glove?" sticker in its place.
"Ms. Gooch, you see, is the glove rescuer.
"Roaming the streets of Pittsburgh on her bike, she leaves no glove unturned. And two weeks ago, she set up the Web site, onecoldhand.com, "a site for the collection and hopeful reunion of Pittsburgh's lost gloves."

"The site is bittersweet to me," she said. "It's set up for this benevolent aim that might not really be realized."
