GIANT HAWK CAUGHT.

John C. Morton, son of Charles
Morton, living near Nebo, caught a
monster white hawk in a steel rabbit
trap recently. The hawk weighed four
pounds and measured fifty-four inches
from tip of wing and was the largest
ever seen by any of the resident of
that vicinity. The night before the
hawk was trapped he had eaten the
head off a rabbit that had ben caught
in the trap. 1t was decided to leave
the rabbit in the trap the next night
as bait for the hawk and the plan
worked successfully. - Russellville

I reckon, maybe, she didn't know it herself at the time, nor the rest O the Churchill family, for they didn't make no great effCI to fad her for some while. Then. when they opened a will, they discov- cred that most all the Churchill for tune had been left to this Rose, and they naturally becom' mighty inter- ested. Cornelius, as understand, was the brother of Roses father, an the property was put in his hands as trustee on behalf of the girl. Maybe he was a straight enough guy general ly speaking, but he had expected to get most of this dough after the girl skipped out, an was consequently al- mighty hot. Naturally he wanted to keep the stuff, an he didn't make no great effort to locate the heiress. By the time he did learn who she had married, Rose died, leaving daugh- ter. By the terms of the will if she died childless the entire estate revert ed to Cornelius, and he wasn't the sort O guy to lose that kind O bet"

 The other chuckled in his beard, rustiing his feet in the leaves.
 Easier ter ask about than explain, Hank" he answered slowly, specially as there is things I don't just cotton to myself. Mostly I pulled the facts out of that Kid Macklin when he was drunk, cause he wanted me to help him. But it seems he's only hired fer the job; it's that guy we're waitin' for who has got the real dope, and like wise the long-green."

To his consternation, she se- lects Shelby, who had gone along merely as a pectator. He declines the honor. Indignant, the girl dis misses the assemblage. Shelby runs into two of the rejected suit Ors, and in a fight worsts them both fingered at their remarks. he returns to the girl, determined to marry her, if she will have him. After his explanation she agrees to marry him. The wedding takes place and the couple set out for Shelby's ranch With them is Kid" Macklin, whom Shelby has hired as a helper. On the way the girl tells her husband her name IS Olga Carlyn, and also tells him something of the peculiar circum- stances of her life.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Trail to Wolves, Hole.

Shelby lifted himself on one elbow, and ventured to breathe easily once more. The vague shadows of the two men had vanished, but their progress through the underbrush could be plain ly distinguished. Feeling themselves absolutely alone in that wilderness neither made the slightest effort to proceed silently. Shelby sat upright on the edge of the gully, straining his eyes through the darkness.
 A strange fortune had brought him the very information he most needed. His whole thought centered instantly on the fate of the girl. What course would she choose under these circun- stances. when the facts were finally revealed to her? Undoubtedly she be- Ileved him dead; her captors would impress that fact upon her first of all, so as to make her realize her con- plete helplessness. Besides. she cared nothing for him; had married him in- differently, merely to thus escape from a worse fate. He could not hope that loyalty to him. under such condi- tions, would greatly influence her de- cision. Somehow the thought hurt Shelby, and brought to him the knowl- edge that he did care. He cared very much indeed, and this truth colored his thought and decision.
 He dare not follow those men at present, he could only wait where he was. and plan his course of action. There was no danger of bis losing them, for he knew where they were going, and, in a measure, at least, about who they were. Shelby had never been in that strange sink known as Wolves hole, but he had talked with man who had. An immense hole in the Bad Lands, through which flowed a branch of the Cottonwood, strange malfOrmatiOn of nature, so completely concealed as to be Invisible untiI the surprised traveller stSod on it's very edge, and stared down into the gloomy depths below. The walls were precipitous, impossible except on foot by daylight. and at only two points could the sink be entered on horseback from the west beneath the nrotection of a cataract, where the stream plunged headlong over high ledge of stone. and from the other extremity down a narrow raVlne through a tunnel scOoped out by some torrent in Iong-past ages. Originally discovered by wandering trappers, who canned there out of the winter storms. if had later become the head quarters for an illicit Indian trade In liquor, and finally the rendezvous for criminals of all kinds, eager to get beyond the reach of the law. It was r.mored that there was actually town there, with women of a class, with a certain rude attempt at gov- ernment by a few self-cOnstituted au- thOrities.

CHAPTER VII-contInued.

Yet 1t was actually true; impossible as it seemed. it was nevertheless an incOntrOvertible fact. He had never spoken to her a single word of love; he had never even kissed her, and still, before both God and man, she was his wife. The Strangeness of the situation bewildered him. Why, he did not even know who she was !; what right she had to claim the family name under which he had married her; what strange story of crime might shadow her history. It was all mystery, a mystery in which he was becoming deeply involved. Calkins had evidently been hiding her from some fate, but whether of good or evil. could not yet be determined. This present abduction, beyond question. had to do with that concealed past, perhaps with some happening before she was even born. These fellows were not robbers; their raid was not intended for any such purpose; they had touched nothing. even the horses were left undiSturbed in the corral, and the moment they gained posses sion of her they had hurriedly depart ed. It had all been carefully planned, with Macklin to choose the time, and then executed quietly. Their only mis- take was in leaving him behind alive. But for that one error DO one ever would have known what had occurred, or dreamed of her fate. And now, as- sured of safety, believing the dead would tell no tales, that they had left behind no evidence of their crime, the outfit was riding carelessly across the lonely prairie, seeking somewhere a safe rendezvous.
 Shelby reiDed his horse to the left, and sought a water hole he remem- bered, himself drinking first, and then standing by while the animal Quenched its thirst. Leaving the buckskin there, with rein trailing on the ground, he climbed the steep side of a butte, and swept the distant horizon with a field glass. It was a trackless waste, drear and deserted of all life. Not a thing that moved crossed his range of vision; and, at last, he snapped the field glasses back into their case slipped down the steep face of the butte, and silently remounted.
 The sun was some time past the meridian, and he felt convinced those he followed could not be far from the trail he was endeavoring to locate. He came upon 1t in less than an hour leading straight down a narrow val ley, whose general course was directly west. He dismounted, and studied the tracks with care. This was his party beyond a doubt-flve horses, one with a split hoof.
 An hour later he found where the party had halted, made a fire among some rocks, and prepared food. Ht studied every sign with care, hopinl for some message of guidance iron her; but there was none. Either shC had been too carefully watched by bel captOrs, or had given up in despair any thought of rescue. Doubtless sht believed him dead also; perhaps haC even witnessed the blow struck, but | not would assuredly have been in
