The entire story leads up to the tragic end where Farquhar dies. The story wanders rather slowly through different events in his life. Thus, the story is ultimately a flashback, because Farquhar begins by standing on the scaffold. The end is where he is actually hanged. His hanging happens when he is in a dreamlike sequence where he is running towards his home and his wife. One can assume this to be his most recent memory.
