vain. The British idea Of justice, q
hundred years ago. was that II is bet.
ter TO hang a hundred innoceL people,
than TO let one guilty person escape.
Elizabeth Fennlng was the daughter
Of poor but worthy parents, and she
grew up with the knowledge that she
would have TO work for her living.
Being sensible girl. she determined
10 excel I'm her humble calling, so she
became an excellent cook. At odd
times she studied diligently and gained
a general education that was unusual
in one OF her station. She was pretty,
modest and self-respecting, and made
q good impression everywhere.
Upon an evil day she accepted n
portfolio as cook In the family OF Rob
ert Gregson Turner, a London station
or. Turner'S father lived with him,
and also two or three clerks. Mrs.
Turner was one OF those imperious
Queen Elizabeth sort Of women who
were more numerous-thank heaven -
a century ago than they are now. She
looked upon her servants and hnnd-
maldens as being triGe less than ku-
man, and always was reading the riot
nct TO them and making their lives
a burden. She rebuked Elizabeth for
imaginary offenses. The girl. who did
her work conscientiously, was more
used to praise than criticism. and Mrs.
Turner'S lectures wounded her deeply.
Elizabeth was n good cook. and she
took special pride In her apple dump
lines. She felt that when II came 20
apple dumpIIngs she could please the
crowned heads, and upon several oc-
casions she asked Mrs. Turner'S per
mission 10 prepare these deIicacies.
The old girl always vetoed this prOpo-
tltlon. saying that her folks didn't cnre

the eirl got permission 10 dish up some

years an eminent British scientist
wrote a paper on this case, and dem
ong.rated conclusively That the Turn
ers were not poisoned with arsenic
whatever caused their sufrerings. None
OF the symptoms OF arseDlcal poisoning
was present.
All evidence against the girl was
freely admitted, but whenever n wit
ness for the defense was on the stand
his evidence was ruled out on one
/ pretext or another, and the unfortunate
girl was found guilty ond sentenced
to death. Had she been convicted OF
making bad dufnplings and fined five
shilllngs that would be no cause for
complaint. but the girl really was
hanged for making poor dumpllngs
Nobody outside the courtroom and the
Turner fnmily ever believed she was
poisoner.
Nothing could be more pltiful than
the fate OF Elizabeth Fenning. Such
determined efforts were being mndc Ia
her behalf by great men and women
that II seemed almost certain her sen
tence would be commuted. But all
the efforts failed, and on the morning
OF July 20, 1915, she was told TO pre-
pare herself for translation. She came
from her cell wearing white muslin
dress and a snowy cap. Her pretty.
gentle face was untroubled, her eyes
undismnyed. Hardened criminals and
men accustomed 10 horrible scenes had
tears on their cheeks while the execu-
toner bound her hands. A dlstln-
gulshed citizen Of London. who had
worked night and day TO save her.
stepped up to her, sobbing, and said !:
"TeIl me. Elizabeth. In tho name Of
God, that you are Innocent"
In the name OF God. then, I am
Innocent" replied the girl. and they
were her last words. She died at the
age OF twenty-one. md no gdYIows was
ever put 10 a more barbarous use.
Next day. and for several days there
after crowds collected In the street
where the Turner's lived. and bombard-
ed the house with rocks. and Il was
a long time before any Of the Turner'S
could appear I'm public with safety.
EIIzabeth's parents had bankrupted
themselves trying 10 secure justice for
her and a fund was raised for their
relief. and the fact that money for
that fund came from oil over Europe
shows how intense was the indignation
o.er the murder OF this unfortunate
girl.

TRIED A D0UBLE-CR0SS
One Play Manager Stallings
Couldn't Dope Out.
TWO On, Two Out. Hap Myers Bunted,
but Couldn't Get Away With tt
Easily Thrown Out and
Braves Lost Game.

The score was to against the
Braves.
This was in a game played In Bos-
ton In the summer OF 1913. II was
the ninth inning. Two men were out
and the Braves had man on first and
second.
''Hap" Myers, the lanky Boston first
sacker. walked To the plate. A long
hit would either tie the score or win
the game. Hap" let the first one
pass-and hunted the second. He was
thrown out by at least ten feet, and
the game was over. The Braves had
lost.
Myers In Terror.
"Hap," in terror over a possible re-
buke from Manager George Stallings,
sneaked into the clubhouse. Stallings
was there, enshrouded in deepest
gloom. Baseball never knew n harder
loser than Stallings. But Stallings
never said word TO Myers then, and
Myers ducked out of the clubhouse
and went home thinking Stallings had
overlooked the bunt-out.
But Stallings hadn't.
The next morning found Stalllngs
at Myers home. Myers had just got
ten up.
Hap" said Stallings, II want to
know why you bun, ed with two out
and two on bases"
"Well, you see. boss" explained
"Hap," 81 thought I'd double-cross the
other fellows"
"Double-cross emp" asked Stalllngs,
puzzled.
Looking for a Hit.
"Yes. You see they were looking
for me to hit 1t out, and | thought I'd
catch 'em asleep with bunt."
"Oh, that's II, eh?" said Stallings.
Thought you'd double-cross 'em, hey
Well, you didn't double-cross them,
but you did double-cross me. I've
spent the whole night trying TO figure
out why you hunted. That's the rea-
son, eh-wanted to double-cross the
other fellows?"
"Yes; that's It,"
swell, lemme tell you this, Hap
Myers" and Stallings poked n men,
acing finger at his big first baseman.
IF you ever again try any OF that
double-crossing stun there'll be f,i-
neral In this particular neighborhood.
Good day, double-crosser." And STALL
ings walked away.

for Keeping In Shape.

Ed Klepfer is one Indian hurler who
thrives on work and it will not be his
fault II Fohl does not call upon him
often. Ed pitched 378 innings in the
Coast league in 1914. Consequently
he is of the opinion he had vacation
last year, when he pitched only 55
rounds. That is, he pitched only 55
innings on the mound. While with
the White Sox he pitched 200 or 300
innings in the bullpen.
Ed has a system for keeping in
shape to pitch that is Just the reverse
