The executioner approaches at the end. An appendix givers biographical details of the personae. Google snippets yield excerpts from a piece by Graham published apparently in McClure's and The Bellman in 1908 of which this appears to be a dramatisation. Enclosed: Studio photograph of unknown young woman (photgraphic studio of Rita Martin). Note: His father was Clerk of the Parliaments till 1917, hence the address. In an interesting life, he was for a time aide-de-camp to Lord Minto, Governor-General of Canada, and wrote of Yukon experiences.
