years an eminent British scientist
wrote paper on this case, and dem
onstrated conclusively that the Turn
ers were not poisoned with arsenic,
whatever caused their sutferings. None
of the symptoms OF arsenical poisoning
was present.
All evidence against the girl was
freely admitted, but whenever a 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 and sentenced
to death. Had she been convicted of
making bad dumplings and fined FIVE
shillings that would be no cause for
complaint. but the girl really was
hanged for making poor dumplings.
Nobody outside the courtroom and the
Turner family ever believed she was
a poisoner.
Nothing could be more pitiful than
the fate of Elizabeth Fenning. Such
determined efforts were being made in
her behalf by great men and women
that 1t seemed almost certain her SEN
tence would be committed. 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
undismayed. Hardened criminals and
men accustomed to horrible scenes had
tears on their cheeks while the execu-
toner bound her hands. A distin-
guished citizen Of London, who had
worked night and day to save her.
stepped up to her, sobbing. and said:
"Tell me, Elizabeth. In the name of
God. that you are innocent"
ain the name Of God then. / am
innocent" replied the girl, and they
were her last words. She died at the
age of twenty-one. and no gallows was
yer put to a more barbarous use.
Next day, and for several days there
after crowds collected in the street
where the Turner'S lived. and lombard
ed the house with rocks, and II was
long time before any OF the Turner'S
could appear in public with safety.
Ellzabeth's parents had bankrupted
themselves trying to secure justice for
her and a fund was raised for their
relief. and the fact that money for
that fund came from all over Europe
shows how intense was the Indignation
over the murder OF this unfortunate
girl.

SYNOPSIS.

Georgy Wagstaff, daughter Of Sir
George, OF the British admiralty, hints at
llaison between her governess, Ethel
Wtlloughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies II. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
ter, Sir Georges butler, who is a German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers In Sir Georges possession. He
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German Spy, and
Roeder (alias Brewster. the butler) are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries TO force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders TO the British feet. Though she
believes him q French instead of a Ger
man spy. she refuses until he threatens
her, She begs him TO announce their Sc
cret marriage. as Georgy Is suspicious,
but he puts her off. At tea Georgy and
her lover, Guy Falconer, tease Sir George,
and Streetman makes an awkward at
tempt to talk politics.

their names are legion. Among these
sacrifices to medical ignorance, and
stupidity, as well as to the blood
thirsty rapacity Of prosecuting law
yers, none ever gained the public SYM
pathy to such a degree as did Eliza
beth fleming, who suffered on the tire
less British gallows nearly a hundred
years ago.
For q long time her name was a
household word In England. When she
was sentenced to death some Of the
greatest and most famous men In the
country exerted themselves In her be-
half; poets wrote verses about her ;
men of high standing circulated petit
tons; the plain people held mass meet
ings and passed resolutions; but all In
vain. The British idea Of justice. a
hundred years ago, was that 1t is bet
ter to hang q hundred innocent people,
than to let one guilty person escape.
Elizabeth Fenning 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 a sensible girl, she determined
to excel in 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
a good impression everywhere.
Upon an evil day she accepted
portfolio as cook In the family Of Rob-
ert Gregson Turner. a London station
er. 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 hand
maidens as being a trifie less than hui
man, and always was reading the riot
act to. them and making their lives
a burden. She rebuked Elizabeth for
Imaginary otfenses. The girl. who did
her work eonscientlOusly, was more
used to praise than criticism, and Mrs.
Turner'S lectures wounded her deeply.
Elizabeth was a good cook, and she
took special pride in her apple dump
lings. She felt that when 1t came to
apple dumplings she could please the
crowned heads. and upon several oe-
cnsiOns she asked Mrs. Turner'S per
mission to prepare these delicaeies.
The old girl always vetoed this propo-
sition, saying that her folks didn't care
three wnOops for dumplings. At last
the girl got permission to dish up some
Of her celebrated dumpllngs, 50 she
secured some yeast from the brewer,
and some milk from the milkman, and

"You talk strangely, SIR, for an Eng
llshman," he told Streetman. But his
manifest reproof seemed lost upon
that gentleman.
MY nationality does not blind me
to the facts" the spy said hastily.
Il admire the Germans in lots of
ways" Charlie Brown continued, in
what was really only a futile effort to
appear neutral. "At all the arts and
sciences they're wonders. And it's a
cinch they've got great military ma
chine"
''The most marvellous in the world"
Sreetman agreed with him heartily.
Charlie Brown set his empty teacup

CHAPTER lv--contlnued.

"You really ought to see the play,
Sir George" the irrepressible Guy re-
marked. He was always ready to
back up Georgy in any deviltry she
might embark upon.
"Yes! It deals with our next war;"
that young lady added.
"As IL playwright knew anything
Of that" her father scoffed.
Its horribly insulting to us Brit
ons," Mrs. Falconer remarked.
Drives In a lot OF home truths and
gives us English a fearful raggingr'
Guy added cheerfully.
Sir George looked at him somewhat
suspiciously.
"Who wrote It? Bernard Shawn"
he inquired. And there was much re-
proof In his tone. To him, Shaw was
IKE red rag to bull.
II don't know who wrote It,"
Georgy said carelessly. 81 never can
remember the beasts names"
at seemed to me to present very
striking picture Of what may very
likely happen" Henry Streetman in
terposed.
Mrs. Falconer turned to him In as
constituent. She did not think that
anyone in his senses could have taken
that silly play seriously.
"You don't mean you really believe
there is going 10 be war4right over
there on the continent?" she exclaimed
II do, rather! And l fancy Sir
George agrees with NEEDN'T you,
Sir George?" the willy Streetman ven
tured He was determined that IL he
did not succeed in forcing Sir Georges
hand he would at least give him a
run for his money.
Sir George looked bored.
"Really. sir, should prefer not to
discuss that matter" he said once
more.
Georgy laughed gayly.
"When father puts on his mantle
OF dignity like that, It means serious
business" she observed. And there
was deal of truth 10 her statement,
frivolous as she seemed. But Georgy
was no fool. She had not lived with
her father close upon eighteen years
for nothing. She knew unerrlngly
how to interpret his every manner.
But why should there be war, even
II an Austrian duke did get killed by
some Serbian or other?" Mrs. Fal-
coner asked. "Of course I've only
seen the headlines" she FASTENED to
add, to disclaim any such plebeian
pastime as the reading OF newspapers.
behind that assassination there is
much OF international politics and d.
plomacy," Sir George explained. I'm
fact it's rather long story
Then, father, don't tell it!' his sar-
castle daughter bantered. Her plea,
however was entirely superfiuous. Sir
George had not the slightest intention
of committing such an indiscretion.
But Guy Falconer was ready enough
to air his opinions.
"Oh. it's not just Austria and Ser
bia !" he said confidently. The trouble
is that Germany is patting Austria on
the back. and whispering. Don't give
in. old laiyr And Russia is saying,

ness that was crowded into second

fishing a new system of land titles,
bill providing a four-year term for

Another important matter to come
before the legislature is the need for
additional buildings at the state in

need for restricting admission to the
asylum to persons who are actually
insane. At the present time the
asylum is caring for a large number
