" Go thy ways, Sim, go thy ways," said the locksmith, as soon as
he could speak. I 've done my best with thee, my lad, and would
gladly have kept thee in good company and from a bad end, but the
Radical rope is round thy neck, I fear."

So saying, and shaking his head in a very sorrowful and disconso-
late manner, he turned back and soon re-entered his own house,
where Mrs. Vakden and the faithful Misgs had been anxiously
expecting his return.
