We present Chandra observations of the radio-quiet Broad Absorption Line ( BAL ) QSO PG 1254+047 . We find that it is a weak X-ray source , with a total of 44 \pm 7 photons measured in 36 ksec across the observed energy range 0.7 - 6.0 keV . Its X-ray weakness is consistent with the known correlation between \alpha _ { ox } and the strength of the UV absorption lines . The spectral energy distribution suggests that PG 1254+047 is intrinsically X-ray weak , in addition to being heavily X-ray absorbed . The X-ray absorption column density is N _ { H } > 10 ^ { 23 } cm ^ { -2 } for neutral gas , while the intrinsic ( unabsorbed ) emission spectrum has \alpha _ { ox } > 2 . The data are fit best by including an ionized ( rather than neutral ) absorber , with column density N _ { H } \gtrsim 2 \times 10 ^ { 23 } cm ^ { -2 } . The degree of ionization is consistent with the UV BALs , as is the total column density if the strongest UV lines are saturated . If the X-ray absorber forms in a wind that is radiatively accelerated to the BAL velocities , then the wind must be launched from a radius of about 10 ^ { 16 } cm with a mass loss rate of \sim 1 M _ { \odot } yr ^ { -1 } .
