Instantly a brawny hand, that Of
Captain Follansbee, was sprawled over

there was crash Of chair legs hastily

selves on the half drunken lieutenant and
were throttling him to silence, while
Captains Bronson and Fellows sprang
to head OFF Winn, who with blazing
eyes and clinched fists came bounding
back into the room.
"What did that blackguard say3" he
demanded, ~ did not catch the words.
Nothing, nothing Winn, that you

"He's drunk. He doesn'tknow what he

to pass him. "If you do not instantly

And so between them they got Winn
away, and others soused Bralligan with
acequia water and locked him up in his
room and had him solemnly sober by
afternoon stables, while, vastly to their
relief, Winn with two or three cavaliers
rode away at o'clock to meet Ned
Lawrence somewhere afar ont on the
Crockett trail. Greatly did Follansbee
and Fellows congratulate Bronson, and
Bronson them, on the fact that they had
happened to be looking on at the game
when Winn happened in and Bralligan
broke out for thereby they had stopped
what might have been a most tremen-

A STRANGE SIGHT.
Hawk Devours n Sparrow ON a Telc-
graph Pole.

HAWK Devours n Sparrow ON q Tele-
graph Pole.
A sparrow hawk with an eagle eve did
a very neat piece of work yesterday right
in the heart of the city. Where he came
from or when he arrived no one could
tell, but the first time he was noticed was
on the corner of Alabama and Whitehall
streets. He was perched calmly on the top
Of telegraph pole and had in his claws a
futtering English sparrow.
With the sunlight glistening on his brown
wings and hundreds of pedestrians staring
at him. the daring hawk calmly sat there
and put himself on the outside Of the SPAR
row. Wherever the hawk came from, he
must have been hungry. for he did not
leave even feather of the sparrow, re-
lates the Atlanta Constitution. If he did
not eat the feathers and claws of his VIC
tim he must have had pocket to put them
In. for not one feather fell to the ground.
Grasping the pole with one claw and
holding his victim with the other he made
his dinner as unconcerned1y as If he had
been miles away in some deserted wood in
stead OF IN the heart of a big city. 1t may
be that the hawk was tired of country fare
ard longed for a change of diet, or that he
knew he would be safe In the city, where
the law forbids the discharge Of firearms
At any rate, he created a sensation as he
masticated. If hawks masticate, his mid
day meal, and hundreds of passersby stop
ped and gazed in wonder as he put the
sparrow away.
His meal over, the hawk sat on the pole
for an hour or more and basked in the sun
light while he let his digestive organs get
in their work on the tough morsel he had
eaten.
