THE NARRTIvE.

She was about fifteen when ! last
saw her; she must be in the vicinity OF
eighteen now.
My young friend, you'll agree that l
am rather too old man to go into any
raptures about female beauty. You
saw my wife and daughters; they are
good enough for me; they are my mod
els among women. Yet must say
that Coralie Bostock. when last saw
her. was the finest girl that ever laid
eyes on; and suppose that she is to-
day the most beautiful one at the south.
There are not many pure native
blondes among us: she is one. But her
hair, her eyes. her eyebrows and long
lashes are dark as midnight.
She was slender, but not petite, in
figure; her smile would captivate you;
her laugh was more musical than the
song of the hooking bird Her man.
ners were winning and gracious, even
from little girl
She seemed the very apple Of her
fathers eye. At one time he took her
down to New Orleans. and left her
with the Sisters Of the Sacred Heart to
be educated. But he could not do
without her. In less than a month he
had brought her home, and from that
time he had her teachers here IN the
house half the year. She learned
quickly; music and the languages
seemed to come to her like second
nature. And never did child more
warmly reciprocate q parents lavish
affection than did Coralie that OF her
father.
Time passed on, and that fatal April
of 1853 came round.
Bostock had issued invitations for
gentleman's dinner party. ] was in
vited, of course. Alphonse Basnet, a
Frenchman owning the plantation
adjoining the one then occupied,
called on me in the morning, and
asked me If ! should attend Bostock's
party.

WELL" he said. Il want your ad-

When | told him of my invitation

NORMAN, Ok, Dec. /. Three farm

living west of Norman on the ten mile

afternoon, resulting in the death of
Snyder and the, serious wounding Of
Haddix.
Snyder and Haddix had angry words
in the morning about some hogs
Later Haddix and Green, who are
brothers-in-law, armed themselves
with pistols and went to Snyder's
house. They found Snyder in
front of his house working the road.
Haddix at once drew pistol and COM
menced shooting at Snyder. Snyder,
who had procured pistol when he
saw them coming, returned the fire,
shooting Haddix in the breast. Green
then shot Snyder three times. killing
him. Green was arrested last night
and is in Jail. Haddix, it is thought,
will recover.

"a side of Bostock's character that had
never suspected to exist. ! began to
draw away from him. as did Others OF
his friends.
In less than two years after the duel
he had alienated himself from all OF
us. His nature seemed to have
changed. lie became cold, reserved
and naughty. He was very little seen
away from his home. When he re-
moved to Louisiana, he passed away
from all intercourse with his old
friends here. He has answered no let
tiers. When bought this place, / ne
gotiated with him through an agent.
You can see, knowing all this, that
his life before he came here was cloud

ly convey an unfavorable impression.
1t would be said that there seemed to
be something unexplained, and that
the mans life could not have been
what it ought to have been. To you,
who saw him at the time that every
body was charmed and captivated by
him, ! can say that we hardly be-
slowed thought on these things. The
man made friends with everybody.
This house was Goodfellow's hall to
the men; if the ladies could not come
here because there was no Mrs. Bos-
took, nor even housekeeper, they
nevertheless spoke of it's master as
the most gallant and agreeable of men.
Especially was this SO after he had got
rid of his scapegrace son. There
seemed then to be not cloud in his
sky. lie was cheerful. even hilarious,
the idol of his friends. owning the
finest cotton lands in middle Missis-
sippi. You have heard something of
southern hospitality: you should have
seen for yourself how it was dispensed
here in the days of Pierce Bostock.
Yet have not named the chief source
of this mans happiness II was his
daughter Coralie
