gone? Was the thing man or beast?
The questions were unanSwerahle; she
could he assured of but one thing-she
was still alive.
Slowly, silently the girl succeeded
in lifting herself partially from off the
hard rock on which she lay. using the
rough o~utcrOppings of the wall as sup
port to the effort. Her bruised limbs
ached. and her head throhbed with
agony as she changed her posture ever
so slightly. yet the movement served
To clear her mind and bring back a
measure of courage. Her thought
swept back to Kelleen, and the mem

doubts. her diStrust. the recollection
of their nights ride together required
now as almost a pleasant remem-
brance. Criminal, outlaw he might be.
but he was no brute, no beast of the
Jungle: rather he had shown himself
a man, even a gentleman. Yet what
help could she expect from him? II
he was loyal and worthy, how could
he be of any aid?
Beyond all doubt the man would re-
turn in search of her. He had
shrewdly guessed where she lay in
cOncealment, and had led those others
away for no other purpose but to
leave her 'here securely hidden. As
soon as he could rid himself from
their observation he would surely be
back once more. But ever if he came
had she left any trail he could follow?
Her passage back from the edge of the
covert had been made over smooth
rock, on which her feet could have
left no slightest trace. If she had
flown away into the air the final mys-
terry Of her disappearance could not
have been greater. Suppose he ever
approached the front of the precipice,
or stumbled blindiy into the mouth Of
the tunnel behind the canopy Of vines

one inevitable result-his death.
Size was surprised. shocked at how
that new thought sickened and dis
heartened her. In some way his per-
sonality had touched her strongly. and
the tie refused to snap. Yet death GER
tainly stood grimly between them now.
II this guardian Of the hidden tunnel
could treat her as he had-actuated
by terror, or whatever cause had led

no more mercifui to him. He would
be on watch. would mark Kelleen's
approach. his every ~footstep. Skulk-

that wild land the report OF the death

CHAPTER x
Within the Tunnel.

Deborah struggled to break away,
emitting one startled cry for help, be-
fore the fingers Of her assailant closed
viselike on her throat. She was In the
grasp of a giant, merciless in the ex.
ercise Of his power. and felt herself
dragged helplessly through the tangle
of vines Into blackness beyond. II was
a man she knew that. although she
had no glimpse Of the face. and made
desperate effort at release, given IN
usual strength by terror; hut the grip
on her throat frightened remorseiessly,
and her power OF resistance waned,
until she suddenly lost consciousness
and all sense of her surroundings. Her
body lay limp in the fellows arms, and.
with q growl Of satisfaction, he bore
the ~raotion!ess. seemingly iifeless body
back through the deepening shadows.
and cast IL down on the stone floor.

the fellow appeared to relax. his head
sinking forward on the arm resting

into a deep sleep.

corner where she had been thrown.

CITY CHARTER IS

ADVIsABlLlTY Of INCORPORATING n
CITY q i!l!I CLASS Is
lRalph w.

This is the all important question
to which many Of the leading citizens
Of this city are giving much time and
thot, and both civic organisations
are considering.
The subject has been discussed ~
to the advantage and disadvantage
Of such q change, and whether such
. step wduld materially assist Raw
Inns towards the goal 1t Is destined
to make. that Of being one of Wy
oming's leading industrial centers.
Rawlins is today operating under
a special charter granted by the
State Legislature in the year Of 1886,
and the following cities were granted
similar charters during the given
dates: Buffalo, 1884; Cheyenne,
1869; Evanston, 1882; Laramie,
1863 and Sheridan in 1884.
The cities of Buffalo Evanston
and Sheridan have abandoned their
original charters, Sheridan now op-
Grating under the Commission form
OF government, while Cheyenne and
Laramie, altho still using their or
iginal charters, have amended them
to fulfill the same purposes a new
charter would perform.
In the arguments heard in favor
OF the proposed change, much stress
has been laid on the fact that the
present charter Is not of sufficient
scope to permit acts by this city
which are, and will be necessary, to
properly meet the rapid growth ex-
pected in the immediate future.
Included in the new powers grant
ed by a charter Of the first class,
and, which 1t is claimed does not ex-
list in the present charter, would be
