No doubt you thought I did not

he was not fit to live" and that
he was going to "end it ALL" |
tried to discourage him in these
thoughts. by renewing my efforts
to show him the way out
breaking away from the drug
habit.
PROOF IN LETTER.
PROOF Of this statement, as well
as of the good qualities that re-
mained within him even though
he had become notorious for his
use of narcotics, was contained in
the letter which he wrote to me
as he was in the Columbia Hotel,
awaiting death.
This letter. the writing of which
was his last earthly act. reads
as follows:
Darling:
When | left you, 1 told YOU
that | was going away, and you
got real angry when l could not
tell you where.
If you receive this. I will know
where I went. but you. my dear,
will still be in the dark.
However. dear. it is for your
sake that l do this. Never will
l be of any use TO you. In fact,
i am a drawback to you. and
for that reason you think l don't
love you. Here words fail me.
A PERFECT WIFE.
Dear heart, you have been
what l always have believed an
angel would be If I ever met one.
/ want you to always remember
this. You have been a perfect
wife. and had 1 held up my Snd
our life would have been ideal.
There is where the drawback
was. ME.
Angel-you know you are al.
ways going to be my angel-if
there is any future life in store
for the good here on earth you
will be what I have been on earth.
BY that 1 mean you will never
know worry, dear, and that is my
idea of happiness.
Angel, if I have my way, don't
go to any expense for me after
death. Please. Think of me
kindly if you can, although
have no right to ask this, and
forget me as soon as you can.
You are far too good a girl for
any boy 1 know. and then to
think that you have had me for a
husband-in name only.
Oh. dear, If l were an author
and would write the story of my
married life and give 1t that title
it would be one Of the best sellers
on the market.
How you have stood by me as
long as you have is beyond me,
and as I sit here and look over
