MacDougai, soon after arriving at
the Tower, was about to be led out
to execution when the lieutenant re
ceived an order for a stay. Several
days passed, the prisoner expecting
death all the while, when the door of
his cell was opened, and the lady who
had spoken to him from Staple Inn
entered. He looked at her In astonish

lady.
"I remember you well, madam. But
I am at a loss as to the cause of this
visit for I shall soon be headless, and
