He hurled them ar the latter as he descend

the prisoner was confined and passeu
through the doorway to the outer Office IL

the murderer intended II 10 be. Adry was as
calm as the prisoner was lmpassoned- lie
was unmoved by the anathemas except TO-
ward pity His was the brotherly affection.
and il was Harry who interrupted the Ter

and gave utterance 10 the curse quoSed
above.
The meeting between the brothers was
arranged by the parents. who beseeched the
condemned man to see Adry once more be-
fore he died. He remained obstinate to
their entreaties for long time. but finally
yielded and sent by messenger note read
ing:
Dear Adry-I want you to come at once
to the iail as wish particularly 10 see you.
| have no other object than the desire TO
ask your forgiveness for any wrong, either
real or maginary. which / may have done
you. l want once more 10 sec you on tnis
earth. This Is the wish and dying request
OF your brother. hAHHi'
when Adry reached the Jail he awaited
the conclusion OF the visit OF DR.. Hayward,
who was then with the condemned man.
Deputy Allison, however, passed through
the office to the Jail corridor and told Harry
that Adry was in the outer Office.
LET him come up at once" said Harry.
Dr. Hayward, however did not relish the
idea OF the meeting between the brothers
I'm his presence. and asked the deputy 10
wait until he was ready TO go before he
showed Adry up the jail stairs. He re-
mained a few minutes longer, then bade
his brother farewell for the time being.
On his way out he met Adry in the door
way of the office and the two stopped for
a brief time and shook hands The physi-
clan passed out of doors while Adry ascend
ed the stairs to the corridor. where Harry
stood calmly awaiting him. They ad-
dressed each other in a friendly manner.
after which Harry requested the
deputies to withdraw distance
to allow him to speak 10 his
brother confidentially. The officers did as
requested. and from distance keenly eyed
the two men. The latter at once engaged
in an interested conversation. What
passed was not heard by any person until
Harry raised his voice 10 say:
Now 1 have done NV part. have for
given you for all you have done. Now. you
do i ask"
But. Harry, how can T.? returned Adry.
appealingly.
The answer was too much for the pris-
oner. He sprang to his feet and poured
forth TRADE of abuse never before heard
in the old jail 'You low-down, mean. con-
temptible, miserable - wretch" he said.
'you refuse to do that. after what ] have
done You God-forsaken tool You have
played a good part, but now / tell
you what / think of you. My letter TO you
was after all only decoy for that purpose.
You villain. III could only get at you.
I would dig out your brains with a knife.
L would tear out your heart with my hands.
/ would crush the two together, cut them
into pieces, squeeze out the juice. make IL
into pie and thurst IL down your throat"
Harry cllnched his hands in his rage, and
stamped his foot herceiy. His face was
ashen and livid by turns. Adry sat quietly
for few minutes. but. seeing the useless
ness OF waiting longer. arose and started
to go God bless you. Goodbye. Harry"
he called sadly. as he was about TO go
down the stairs.
"Oh, you villain" was the return greet
ing. MAY the curse of God fall on you
and yours and aiow me 10 haunt you until
your dying day. / will meet YOU on the
brink of hell with a red-hot poker"
