A few minutes later Colonel Hazard was horrified to hear a pistol shot across the hall, and. rushing into the room, found his daughter lying on the floor by the side of a center table with blood streaming from her breast.

A imoking pistol on the table partly explained the occurrence. She was placed on a bed and a physician summoned, bat she died before he came and without being able to speak. The ball was a 32-cali-ber and had passed near her heart. Whether the shooting was accidental or intentional will never -1 She was in the best of health and spirits, and her father gratified her every wish with one exception, and that was to allow her -to receive the attention of a young man of She has recently threatened to kill herself unless her father allowed her sweetheart to call on her, but if she killed herself for that reason, she left no letter to tell it.
