Promise me one thing before I leave you." "What is it?" asked Thames. "If the Captain is taken to Tyburn, be near the place of execution at the end of the Edgeware Road." "I will."

The walk was prolonged not quite to Edgeware; but so far that Mr. Neefit was called upon to remark that the parson was preaching a very long sermon. Mrs.
