During a gathering honoring the Unknown Samaritan, Martin Blair, the Outcast of Space was seen and chased by guards. Blair attempted to redeem himself by doing good deeds. His final deed was saving a boy from being crushed by a horse from the interplanetary merry-go-round, leading to himself being crushed, instead.

Synopsis for "Captain Baboon's Space-War"
This story is reprinted from Mystery in Space #68.
A spaceship is intercepted by space border patrol is found to be piloted by a baboon. The baboon draws on the ground, claiming to be Captain Gordon Walters, a veteran of the war against the Chall. Walters was a distant descendant of the folk hero Johnny Appleseed, and so after the war he set out to plant new trees on the worlds ravaged by it. In one of those ruins he found the Transorticon, a device that can swap the minds of two things.
Later, he discovered a seemingly tame baboon on one of the planets. Investigating, he intercepted a radio communication from the exiled Chall leader Ektinor, whom plans to build a device called the Hyperometer that can transport matter instantly. One of his men discovered Captain Walters' spaceship, leading him to swap minds with the baboon to steal one of theirs.
Not wanting to trigger an early attack, Walters pretends to have somehow managed to capture several human soldiers before knocking out all the Chall with fake seeds containing sleeping gas.
