It was a case of love at first eiglit. Miss
Cooke was moiancholy as a lover# lute,
lived in great privacy, and her myttcrions
movements and intentional withdraw-!
from society threw around her a halo ol
mystification that'fired the ardor of the
law student and made Idm a willing
slavo. He called upon lier, actually
forced himself into her presence and bor
rowed books q1 her, simply to afford him
an excuse to call again. Sho repelled
his advances in a manner that only
lured him on. 110 persecuted her with
kindness and haunted her with attentions
Me proposed, was rejected; sho would
never marry, lie persisted with an
excess ol passion and ardor that induced
iier to toll him hor story,. and wrung
Irom him a pronpso of rerengo. &
■ She had been betrayed she said by Col
Sharp, tier case was a peculiatly bad one.
Col. Bhurpe hud been raised In her
father's tumily. The sacred rites of
hospitality he bad repaid by filching the
daughter's Virtue. Aud she, like many,
another, became a mother ere she wal a
wife. Sho had beon famed for Jiei'
beauty, vet her disgrace had withered
its charms and crippled its powdrs tier
family had been wealthy, but adversity
had overtaken them. Hor father and
male relatives were all dead. There w*s
nootietoaycugoher wrongs. Beancha«y>
tied to hef fate by the silken cords ot u
desperate-love, as well as by tho romantic
notion of a chivalric temperament that
urged him to wash out with assassiuation
or challenge the wrong doue, readily
took an oath to hurl Sliarpe to the doom
be deserved. r i
'Sharpe will not flghtj' said Miss Cook,
when Beauchamp announced his intention
ot calling him out;'ho is too great .a
coward.' That was in 1821.
The Legislature was in session in
ifrankiort. Beauchamp readily found
Col. Sharpe at tho Mausion House. Tho
Colonel lecoguiised him cordially. >'l've
come to Frankfort to see you on impor
tant business,' and Beauchamp took
him by the arm. 'Lot's talw a walk.'
They went to a retired spot by the
river side. Tho bell at tiki Mansion
Houso rang for supper.
Beutichamp turned upon Sharpe with a
nervous manner and eye sparkling with
angeri 'Do yon lcmemher the hist
words M iss Cook, whom you ruined
spoke to your.
Sharpe stood transfixed.

She tried to Jure Sharpe to her house.
He avoided her. Beauclmmp refrained
from ady further attempt on Sharpe's
Iffe to Miss Cooke tho opportunity
she wished tor. Uncvor caniej and Jhis
doeire to kill him herself gave to Sharpe
many a day of life. In June, 1824, Beau
clmmp and Miss Cooke wero married.
And thou lie claimed lie had tho right to
assassipatchis wife's seducer. Sliarpe
was now a candidate, for the Legislature,
but his treatment of Miss Cooke added
to his unpopularity, so he announced

ed that Share's hour had come, lie res
paired to Frankfort, and unable tf> ob
tain lodgings at the hotola, passed the
night with Scott, the keeper ol the Peni-
He retired early, and prepar
ed for hje murderous deed.- Instead of

cealed hie race in a red' hand

ed Out of bis lodgings, and repaired
uoisolessiy to Sharpe's residence.' Draws
ing his dogger, he knocked thrie #fees.
'Wlio's tliere?' criod

Sharpe'p).
The door opened. Sharpe appoarod r

Beauchamp foro off hi# mask and

Sharpe drew hack and. ctied, "Great

j Beauchamp plunged Ida dagger deep
into ids heart. The blood spurted upon
the wails and dabbled the floor. "Die,"

died.

assassin wae followed by an oofor crowd
of pursuers. Captured* arrested, he was
brought b&ck and tried, lie was con

She made no attempt at cenccaling the
