He hurled them at the latter as
descended the stairs leading to the
b. in which the prisoner was confined,
ara passed through the iron doorway
leading to the outer office. 1t was their
last meeting on earth. and such the
murderer intended 1t to be. Adry was
as calm as the prisoner was impassion-
ed. He was unmoved by the anathemas
except toward pity. His was the BROTH
erly affection, and 1t was his fervent

Harry which ELECTED the remarks
uoted above.
THE meeting between the brothers
arranged by the parents, who be-
he'd the condemned man to see Adry
more before he died. He remained
snafe to their entreaties for long
= le,f but hnally he consented and sent
by messenger note reading:
Dear Adry: want you to come at
once to the jail, as I wish particularly
to see you. Ihave no other object than
the desire to ask your forgiveness for
any wrong, either real or imaginary,
which I may have done you. 1 want
once more to see you on this earth.
This is the wish and dying request of
your brother. HARRY.
When Adry reached the Jail he wait

DR.. Hayward, who was then with the
doomed 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 in his presence, and asked
the deputy to wait until he was ready
to go before he showed Adry up the Jail
stairs. He remained a few minutes
longer, then bade his brother farewell
for the time being. On his way out, he
met Adry in the doorway and the two
stopped for a brief time and shook
hands. The doctor passed out of doors,

awaiting him. They addressed each

Adry quietly.
The answer was too much for the
prisoner and he sprang to his feet ant
poured forth a TRADE of abuse never
before heard in the old Jail.

You damned villain. If 1 could onl.

He clenched his hands in his rage
and stamped his foot fiercely. His fac
was ashen and livid by turns.
Adry sat quiet for few minutes, blu
seeing the uselessness of waiting long
