I is also a mystery why he should have bound
| her and gagged her. Some Of those who Cos
| sip about the case declare their belief thai
he was interrupted by the arrival OF tins
aunt and uncle. But they are answered ps
others. who declare that an interruption
would have caused him to leave her I'M
bound. had It been spch as to cause him te
cease his efforts ~at.xfrangling her. .
Miss Hawkins can offer no solution u
these mysteries. She AYERS that she did moi
see the face of her assailant: that the cloth
thrown over her head prevented her from
even seeing any part of his clothing. He
did not speak while she was conscious. ana
Inconsistencies came before the cord about
her throat was loosened.
ct Is all a mystery to me-" she says, de-
spairingly. when she Is asked about 1t.
At first there was a theory that the at
tack upon the young woman was a part OF
an attempt to burglarize the house. but this
theory was abandoned as soon as a search
revealed that nothing had been molested in
any way.
Miss Hawkins remained at Rock Creek
several weeks In the hope Of assisting in
the capture of her assailant. But not a
trace OF him was found, and Miss Hawkins
returned to her home at Ashtabula.
She had not been home many days before
the second attempt upon her life was made.
1t was entirely different from the first one.
One day some apples were taken to the
Hawkins home. Miss Hawkins ate some
of them. and soon after was taken deathly

4 fitful: her ~reveries are broken by fear.
Miss Hawkins did not know that her life
was sought until last December. On one
occasion. shortly before Christmas. she was
the guest of an aunt at Rock Creek. a viii
lage a short distance from Ashtabula- One
evening the members Of the family went to
prayer meeting, leaving their guest alone
in the house.
When they returned. about 10 o'clock. they
found the girl bound and gagged. fainting
on the floor. About her throat were the
| marks Of heavy fingers, and a thin red line
showed where a cord had been tightly
drawn.
Miss Hawkins was soon revived. and told
! her aunt that she had been sitting in the
parlor. reading, when she was seized from
behind A cloth was thrown over her head.
and before she could cry out her throat
was grasped by strong fingers. She strug-
| sled desperately, but to no avail; she was
borne steadily to the floor.
Then she became aware of the presence
of a stout cord about her neck. 1t was
drawn Observation-Disclosures tighter
until her eyes ached, and her brain roared,
and all was whirling mist before her eyes.
She knew no more until she was aroused
by the aunt.
The case was reported to the authorizes
of Rock Creek. and the Sheriff and Con-
stable made diligent search for the would
be stranger. 1t has been a mystery why
he ceased his efforts at strangling his VIC
tim before the work was complete. AND II

of throwing of the influence upon her mind
the members of her family began to make
light of the affair and tried to encour-
age the belief that it was all a mistake.
and that she was the victim of untoward
circumstances rather than the plotting OF
some vil-minded person.
This in n measure had its effect. and Miss
Hawkins had almost forgotten her former
experiences and only referred to them at
long intervals. and was beginning to regain
her erstwhile confidence and happy frame
of mind. Careful watch, unknown to her.
was kept. and great care was exercised n
what she ate. her food being scrutinized by
the other members of the family.
The third attempt upon her life was
n ore dreadful than the previous two. and
its effects will remain upon the victim as
long as she lives. The villain appeared in
tie form of the vitriol-thrower, whose
work is often deadly In its effects. and al
ways attended with injuries that remain as
long as life lasts.
One Monday night early last summer she
was standing on the back porch of her
home Her father was in the yard. and
she was holding a lantern to show him the
way. 1t was just beginning to get dark.
when suddenly around the corner the shad-
owy form of a person appeared.
In an instant Miss Hawkins was scream
ing and writhing in her agony. A guam
tity of acid had been thrown. The vitrioi
thrower disappeared in an instant. and in
the excitement of the moment all attention

I sick. 1t was only by the timely arrival of
a physician and the employment Of the
most heroic methods that her life was
saved.
An investigation showed that the apples
were poisoned. Several Of them contained
enough ~strychnine to kill a half dozen peo-
pie. Miss Hawkins had only eaten n por-
ticn Of one, when her suspicious were
aroused. This suspicion probably saved her
life. as the family was placed on guard.
and as soon as she began to get sick med
zeal aid was summoned.
That the one who was after her life
would hesitate at nothing. even wholesale
murder. was evident, as the lives of the
other members of the household We're
threatened by these poisoned apples.
How the poison came TO be placed in the
particular apple which Miss Hawkins ate
is another feature of the mystery that has
never been cleared up. The belief was gen.
eral that the guilty person was very close
to her. or the family. and was familiar
with her actions. to SO clever!y work out
the plan for her destruction. Rigid inves-
tigation never developed anything strong
enough to throw suspicion upon anyone.
The feeling became firmly fixed that the
poisoned apples were intended for the
Young woman. and the family was on is
guard to prevent another attack.
Beth of the previous experiences had made
a deep impression on Miss Hawkins. and
she was constantly filed with an overhang-
ing dread of an u%ntimely end. In the hope

There are theories. of course-as many
and as varied as are the guessing abilities
of those who advance them. They run the
gamut of possibility-for certainly Gossip
IS not Idle +,
But so far there has been nothing Of i'm
portance to support any Of them.
The only fact Is this: ~
Miss Hawkins has been murderously at
tackled four times since last December.
Once an attempt was made to strange
her.
Twice poison has been urged to do the
work Of death.
Once it was vitriol that was employed.
and. while 1t did not kill. 1t left its
CHASTITY marks upon the fair face of the
prosecuted girl.
Miss Hawkins declares that she knows OF
no enemy who should seek her life. She
solemniy AYERS TO her friends and relatives
that she knows of no reason whatever why
she should have been attacked.
And she further declares that she has
not the slightest idea of the identity of the
person or persons-perhaps there are more
than one in the plot to murder her-wh
have been bounding her for nearly 4 year.
The young woman's life may be likened to
that of one cast alive into purgatory. She
is the victim OF an ever-present terror.
Neither at home nor abroad does she feel
secure. She knows not at what moment an
assailant may spring from behind a corner.
or Il tree, or sneak up behind her-ready to
hurl a missile or fire a shot or clutch her
