Randolph Pickeps was dying. Death
, was about to deprive human justice.
as personified by the law, of the
chance to punish him for a crime. 1t
was incidentally saving the State the
expense of a criminal trial.
The Southerner had been i'll enough
to consult physician on the day fol-
lowing the murder of Hasbrook Balm
bridge. He had called at the office
of doctor with whom he was ac-
quainted. complaining of pain in his
chest. The physician had found him
feverish and had ordered him to go
home and to remain in bed.
This Pickens had not done. In
stead, he had called twice at Agnes
Morley's fiat, on his second visit
making an appointment to come the
following day TO meet Mr.. Hale and
his lawyer.
Following his revelation to Hale
and to Driscoll, a sudden attack of
painful that a cab was summoned
and he was sent to his home. Pneu-
monia had developed, and his heart
had proved too weak to stand the
strain. The fever had left him, but
the end was in sight.
Then it was that he sent for Ag-
nes Morley. The doctor had called
ed her to come to see the i'll man.
He is dying" the doctor said
simply. HE may live for a day or
two yet, but he has not sufficient
strength to rally. He has neglected
himself shamefully for months. His
was insane. I did not know it un-
til the other day. He had supported
her for years, l understand"
"Is there no hope?" Agnes asked,
her eyes full of pity.
None; he knows, too. that there
is none" the doctor replied. He
had me bring in a lawyer yesterday
and made his will. 1t was all he
could do to write his name. Perhaps
it is as we'll that he is not going TO
live. The family curse of which he
told me might fall upon him, too, in
time. He has spoken of you as the
best friend he has. That is why he
sent for you"
A Cold Room.
Thus 1t came about that Agnes
Morley went to see Randolph Pickens
before he died. A trained nurse, who
had been installed by the physician's
orders, admitted her to the dying
mans room.
The windowsin the ppianly furnished
boarding house chamber were wide
open, so that the occupants might
get all the fresh air possible. Agnes
shivered involuntarily as the chill of
the place struck her.
'It is better TO have the room cold"
the nurse explained in a low voice.
ut makes the patients breathing
easier"
If anything could be more difficult
than the patients breathing was even
now Agnes was glad that she need
not witness it. Every breath was a
struggle, yet when Pickens opened
his eyes and saw her standing by the
bed, he smiled wanly and moved his
hand toward her.
THANK you for coming" he whis-
pered.

siderately.
Then she slipped from the room
and left the sick man alone with the
girl for whom he had done murder.
Isn't there anything 1 can do for
you, dear Mr.. Pickens?" Agnes asked,
taking one of his thin hands in her
warm grasp.
Again he smiled. Just allow me
to try to talk to you for a moment,
apologetically.
II will let you say anything you
want to say" she assured him.
II must say it quickly. haven't
much time left" he explained. Il
want you to know that l have laid
aside a little money-only a little
over a thousand dollars. I thought
mother might need it If 1 died. But
she is gone now"
When did she die?" Agnes asked
involuntarily.
Several days before I met you out
side the-the beasts house." he told
her. 81 went to see you that night
to tell you about it, but when l saw
your trouble l let it CO."
Glad He Killed Him.
"Oh!" the girl exclaimed contritely.
"And I, in my selfishness. burdened
you with my trouble when you had
all you could bear already"
you honored. not burdened, me"
he corrected with a hint of his old
member much of what I did the rest
of that night. You know" after a
painful pause. that my mind may
have been a bit affected by my right
eous rage. But I want you to re-
member that 1 knew what was doing
afterward-when l killed him." his
voice sank to a whisper, "and I am
glad I did it,
There was silence for a moment.
81 must tell you the rest" he said
with an effort. II have made a new
will. I have left the little 1 have to
you. Will you grant me one more
honor-and accept it?"
"Oh," the girl gasped. sinking on
her knees by the bed. Il don't de-
serve such friendship :! DON'T
But he checked her with a look.
"You deserve more than l am worthy
to give" he said. You may some
time worry when you think of what
I did to that beast. Don't worry. God
Understandable He forgives." He
closed his eyes for a moment. 'I am
very tired" he murmured. God
bless you!"
His breath came more quickly.
"Good-by, dear" Agnes whispered.
Then she dropped a kiss on the cold
fingers and summoned the nurse.
A week later Randolph Pickens was
buried. Only a clergyman, Agnes
Morley and Philip Hale were pres
ent when the simple funeral service
was read in the room in which the
sick man had died. Just before the
coffin was closed the girl stepped for
ward and laid a bunch of sweet peas
over the stiIled heart.
HE brought me a handful of such
flowers once" she sobbed as Philip
put his arms about her.
Yes. dear, / know" he said, with
catch in his voice. Then, bowing
his head, "God rest his faithful
SOUL" he added solemnly.

Heroic Italian Pilot
Engages Foes High in Air
While Comrades Raid

Milan, Feb. "a. - Details are now
published of the raid carried out on
last Friday by an Italian air squadron
on Libach and it is declared to have
been successful, chiefly on account of
the heroism Of Captain Salomone, who
piloted a large machine carrying four
men. The task entrusted to this ma
chine was to engage adversary air
craft in order to allow the other Ital-
ian machines to accomplish this mis-
sion of bombardment. Captain Salo-
none attacked several machines and in
the battle which ensued two of his COM
panions were killed and he himself
was wounded. He continued, how
ever, to handle his machine so skill
fully that his observer Colonel Bar
bieri, was able to keep a steady ma
chine gun fire on the Austrians.
Bullets rained on the italian aero
planes from all sides and Colonel Bar
bieri was killed. The pilot remained
alone with the bodies of his compan-
ions hindering the manipulation of the
levers, that of Col. Barbieri lying
across one of the steering wires. Wip-
ing the blood from his eyes, for he
was wounded in the forehead, Captain
Salomone managed to move the body
and that of another man so that he
could steer more easily, and having
sufficiently delayed the pursuers to en-
able his fellow aviators to reach their
goal, he finally landed at Palmanova
and was taken from his machine in a
fainting condition. King Victor EN-
manuel has awarded him the medal
for Valor.
