"Miss LeatOn, the Warrent Charges
YOu With Murdern

''AIiss Leaton, the Warrent Charges
You With Murder
shall be speeding toward London to
bring down your counsel. Heaven be
with you, most innocent and most in
jured girl"
And pressing her hand fervently he
throw himself into the next up-train.
Eudora was led out between the two
officers, placed in a cab, and driven
toward the gaol.
The prison, situated on the outskirts
Of the town, was great, grim-looking,
dark. grny stone building, pierced By
narrow grated windows, ana stlrrodnt:
ed by high stone walls.
Poor Eudora's stricken heart COL
lapsed and sank within her as the cab
drew up before this formidable looking
stronghold.
The policeman allghted, handed their
prisoner out and rang at the grated
gate In the wall, which was immedi-
ately unlocked and opened by the turn.

your spirits just about right. Take a
SIP" said Poll, diving into the depths
Of a capacious pocket and drawing
forth a flask, which was unst0pped
and offered to Eudora.
But the fumes of the gin were 50 re-
pulsive to the latter that she waved 1t
away, saying:
II thank you; you are very kind, In
deed: but do not require anything"
swell, If you won't take the gin, you
you look just about ready to faint
away. Wen make you the best bed as
we can in this miserable place. Here,
Nance, lend ME your shawl; and lend
me yours Peg; we must be good to a
poor girl as is In thousand times
deeper trouble nor we are ourselves,
cause our lives is not in danger as
hers be-" said Poll, stripping the shawl
from her own shoulders and folding
and laying it ON the rude bench and
rolling Nance's shawl into pillow and
retaining Pegs for blanket.
Nov, my darling, take off your bon
ne. and loosen your clothes and spread
your pockethandkerchief over this rum
pillow, and try to take some rest, and
you'll he all the better able to face
the beaks tomorrow
II thank you; you are very, very
good to me; and know that the best
thing I can do is to lie down as you
advise me-" said Eudora with much
emotion, for she had scarcely hoped to
meet such tender sympathy from such
rude natures.
And she took off her bonnet, IN
hooked the bodice of her dress and
laid her weary frame down on the lit
tie bed that their kindness had pre-
pared for her.
Poll covered her carefully with Pegs
shawl, and then bidding her good
night, drew off her companions to the
farthest end Of the room, where they
conversed in low whispers, for fear Of
disturbing ''the poor young lady,"
Left to herself, Eudora composed
her mind to prayer; and as the prayers,
Of innocence always bring peace, not
withstanding all the shame, grief and
terror Of her position, the poor girl
sank into strange calm and thence
into deep sleep.

Of the two policemen, was carried into
the town.
1t was considered too late to take
her before magistrate, or even lodge
he: in the cov:'ty gaol, which had been
clc-'d for hons.
The policemen therefore conveyed
her to a rude but strong station. or
lookup house, where drunkards. and
brawlers. and thieves, and other dis
turbecs of the night were confined un-
til morning.
Eudora was thrust into large stone
room, with grated windows placed
high up toward the ceiling, and rude
oaken benches ranged along the walls
This apartment was without fire, beds
or separate cells.
1t was occupied by about half-a-
dozen abandoned women and various
children, some Of whom lay extended
along the benches in the stupid sleep
Of intoxication, while others walked

lists, q policeman, and the domestic
servants of Allworth Abbey.
Immediately before the table stood
Malcolm Montrose, looking pale, anx-
ious and heart broken. On seeing the
entrance Of Eudora guarded, he hurried
through the little gate of the ratings
toward her, saying In low and hur-
ried tone:
"Oh, Eudora! it is but an hour since I
heard Of your arrest-only when the
sheriff's officer arrived ut Allworth
to summon the witnesses; and hur-
rietl hither Immediately to see what l
could do for you"
"Nothing, nothing. you can do moth
ing for me, dear friend; my case Is SO
desperate that none but God can help
me-"
But oh, Eudora-"
"Sir, we cannot allow any converse
ton with the prisoner" said Sims, hur-
rying his charge on to the immediate
presence of the magistrates.
.sPlace chair for her, officer; she is
unable to stand" said Squire Upton,
looking ut the terrified and half-faint-
ing girl with feelings that might have
been compassion, but for the horror her
supposed crime inspired.
Sims placed n chair directly in front
of the tabis before the magistrates, and
Eudora dropped rather than sat down
in it.
Sims then laid the warrant upon the
table before their worships, and re-
treated behind the chair of his pris-
oner.
Sir Ira Brunton adjusted his specta-
cles, took up the warrant, looked over
it, and then addressing the accused,
said coldly:
"Wil you please to throw aside your
veil, Miss Leaton?"
Eudora, with trembling fingers,
obeyed, and revealed face so deathly
in it's pallor, that those who looked
upon it shrank back and uttered excla-
nations Of pity, for they thought the
girl must be dying.
"Miss Leaton," pursued Sir Ira Brun-
ton, "the warrant that I hold here
charges you with the murder, by the
administration Of poison. Of the late
Lord and Lady Leaton and their daugh-
ter, the Hon. Agatha Leaton. must
say that grieve exceedingly to see one
Of your age and sex and rank stand
before us charged with so heinous q
crime"
The deadly ,pallor of Eudora's checks
were suddenly flushed with a hectic
spot, as she faltered forth:
Il am guiltless; oh, sir, you who have
known me ever since came, an orphan,

to this strange land, should know that
I am"
"God grant that it may prove so,"
said the magistrate sternly.
And the investigation Immediately
commenced. First, the minutes of the
coroners inquest were read; and then
the witnesses were examined in turn.
| The housekeeper, Mrs. Vose, was
called and with many tears and much
reluctance, gave in her testimony:
"That Miss Eudora Leaton was the
niece Of Lord Leaton, and after Miss
Agatha, the next heiress to the estate.
Miss Eudora had nursed Lord Leaton
through his fatal illness, preparing all
his delicate food and drink with her
own hands. She prepared the sleeping
draught of which he drank ten min
utes before his sudden death. Miss
Eudora also nursed Miss Agatha
through her last illness, which CORE
sponded in all its symptoms to that
of the late Lord Leaton. Miss Eudora
watched beside Miss Agatha on the
last night of her life, and prepared the
tamarind-water Of which she drank
lust before her death. Lady Leaton
drank some Of the same beverage just
before her sudden demise"
Squire Upton inquired:
"Was the jug containing this bever-
age left out Of the prisoners keeping
from the time Of her preparing it to
the time of Miss Agatha Leaton's
deatd?"
IL think not Miss Eudora prepared
the drink in the housekeeper's room
and took it up to Miss Agatha's cham
Der, where she Miss Eudora) watched
through the night" replied Mrs Vose.
Several others among the domestic
servants were examined and each one,
| in a greater or less degree, corrobor-
ated the testimony Of the housekeeper.
The next witness examined was the
family physician, DR.. Watkins, who
testified that the symptoms Of the sud-
den accessions of illness, which cue
cessively terminated in the death Of
LORD Leaton, Lady Leaton and Miss
Leaton, were those produced by the
poison of st. 1gnatius' Bean; that
traces Of this poison were discovered
in the autopsy Of the dead bodies and
in the analysis of the beverage pre-
pared by Miss Eudora Leaton, and of
which they drank just previous to
their deaths; and that quantity of
the same fatal drug was found in Miss
Eudora Leaton's box.
The testimony of the doctor was cor
roborated by two physicians who had
assisted in the autopsy Of the bodies
and the analysis Of the beverage, and
by the policeman who had executed
the warrant and discovered the poison
in Eudora's possession.
The last witness examined was the
Princess Pezzilini, who, with the ex.
ception of the scientific evidence of.
fered by the physicians, corroborated
the whole of the foregoing testimony
The evidence being all collected the
prisoner was asked If She had any ex.
PLANTATION to give before the magis.
trates should decide upon her case.
Slowly rising, and in o very faint
voice, she answered.:

cousin through their Last illnesses"

commit yourself again." said Squire
Upton.

R RESOLUTIONS OF OONDOLENOE.

WHEREAS, it has pleased our great
Allwlse Father to bereave so sorely
our Assistant Superintendent, H. w.
Phillips, in taking from him his young
wile, Lillian May Phillips, therefore
be it
ReS0I0ed'-That we, the teachers
and pupils of the Espy Methodist
Sunday School, extend to our dear
brother and fellow worker our deepest
sympathy, assuring him that we, too,
feel keenly the loss of our dear sister.
ReS0LDeN.:-That while his loss is
such an unspeakable one, yet God,
who doeth all things well, never calls
upon any of his children to endure
more than they are able, and will
surely help them to bear the chasten-
ing which he inflicts upon those whom
he loves.
ReS0kUe4:-That our brother may
find deep source of comfort in the
numberless promises of the resurrec-
ton which are found in Gods Word,
knowing that our sisters faith was a
living one as regards these sweet
promises.
ReSOI0ed'--That while his and our
loss is a very great one, it must be
partly compensated for in realizing
that it is her infinite gain to be so
soon with our dear Savior, away from
all sorrow, pain and weeping, where
all is joy and peace and gladness.
ReS0IaeA.-That we remind him
that after all, the separation at its
longest will be immeasurably short
compared with the eternity which will
follow the meeting beyond the river
where all our loved ones who have
gone before wait to greet us.
ReS0l0e6.-That a copy of these
resolutions be handed Mr.. Phillips,
and they be published in the county
papers.
