IIII"..".....°“WNO Glenna Corraine, the only daugh- ter of Judge Harvey Corraine, was the flower of an ancestry reached back into the pro-Revolu- tionary War days. The family tree on which she blossomed bristled with leaders in the arts of peace and war. In it were soldiers, preachers, judges, physicians, business tycoons, senators, two presidents of the Unit- ed States and three or four writers. Unlike most of the flowers on these old trees, Glenna was warrant- ed not to stop a clock or cause one to wonder why a body so ill-made could be persuaded to go at all. She was tall for a woman. She had. light chestnut hair, a low, wide brow, calm gray eyes with glints of gold in them and a mOuth and chin whose firm- ness were hidden under soft, pleasing flesh. And she was shapely and graceful in her movements. She had a fine brain, keen and serene. It was ballasted with good judgment. There was nothing neu- rotic about Glenna. Given a prob- lem, she attacked it face to face. She studied it calmly. She worked it out slowly. All of these qualifications point- ed her for the work she regarded as her life work, the redemption of fallen men, men who had come into conflict with the law and who had suffered in their war. She was a ‘ probation officer of the same cOurt in which her father handed down his . decisions. Possibly all the assets she carried in her person and her mind pre- vented her f1‘0m evcr marrying, be- cause marriage is very rarely a mat- ter of calm thinking. This “failure” as it was called by her friends. to find a mate puzzled the people who knew her. Her beau- ty and charm, even her brains, had drawn many men to her, men of all degrees of worth and position. She had passed through the terrific storms of youth untouched. She was rapidly approaching her thirties, when the fires are supposed to be MMMWWW The Home Paper Weekly Letter to away from home. your friends (DY thi’n‘ Liberal. Flo?

I And then the case of the People Richard Oakcs was splashed upon the court calendar and Glenna Corâ€" raine, for the first time, was c0n- fronted with a problem which had in it more emotional dynamite than any other she had ever been called upon to attack. There are those who say that Glenna did not come out of this test with flying colors. There are others who say that no matter how stable and sensible a woman is, you never can tell what she will do in a crisis because nature has made her as volatile as alcohol. Glenna expresses no opinion of it, gives no explanation. She is like a good gambler. She has played the cards that fell to her. Whether she played her hand well or poorly does- n’t matter now. It is played. In the case of the People vs. Rich- ard Oakes, the defendant was brought get over it" into court to fight the charge of forcing John Hayes, his uncle, to pay him $2,000 after a hand beat- ing. Technically, the charge was robbery. Richard Oakes was 29. Graduat- cd from one of the great Eastern universities with an 11.3., he had no ispccial training in any profession. :thn he was going thrOugh school, ‘his family was worth millions. The family’s plan for him was to (lawdle through life, conserving the fortune and having a good time. But the de- pression tnOli care of both the fam- ily and th‘ fortune. A year after he was graduated Dick found him- self broke. At the trial, it was brought out that John Hayes, hitherto considerâ€" ed by the family as a poor relation and treated as such, really owed the Oakes estate the two thousand dol- lars. Dick had gone to him repeated- ly to get it from him. Hayes, bitter at the memory of the way the Oakes family had treated him and hating Dick in particular, had kcpt putting him off. Finally, on tho night of the crime. Dick locked both of them in the living room of John Hayes' home and punched him black and ‘ blue. Hayes, thereupon got the $2,- 000 from a small safe in his home and gave it to him and, as soon as Dick departed, notified the police. Dick, knowing that John would do something like that, had hurriedly left town. When the police of Chi- cago picked him up six months later, his money was gone and he was brought back to Hannibal, New Jer- sey, where all the principals lived, "to go to trial for the crime. l When the trial opened, Glenna was :one of the interested spectators. Her i'interest rose from the fact that she {had known Dick Oak-es albher life to that time had thought very :but up . little of him. He had been a Wild youth, spending his time and money in carousing. Glenna had disapprOVâ€" ed of him. Jim Spinnet, the prosecuting attor- ' liney, thoroughly agreed with her. He had known Dick all his life and hated 'him. He hated him especially b:- icause he loved Glenna and he susâ€" l’pected‘ Dick did too. As he told Glenna before the trial started, he iwas determined to teach this ne’er- ido-well a lesson. He was. glad when John Hayes scornfully requ'd $2.- ,000 offered by Dick’s lawyer in full lrestitution on condition that he drop ithe charge against his nephew. He irefuscd to say where the money had 1001116 from. Sitting in the back of the court room, Glenna couldn’t help but con- trast the two men, Dick, the defend- ant, and Jim, the prosecuting attor- ney. Dick was tall, carelessly good look- ing, pud‘gy, palc, sternlipped and near- sighted. His voice, when excited, rose to a squeak. He went to work on Dick with all the joy a righteous man feels when he has an evil doer on the rack. He brought out all of lDick’s roisterings, his hard drinking, his affairs with women, his gamlbl- .ing. Ov-cr repeated objections of Dick’s attorney, he proved that Dick had always been a thoroughly dis- reputable person; and he urged the jury of stern-faced farmers to send him to jail for the good of society. At the clone of the first day, when he came to see Glenna he found her strangely unsympathetic to the cause of righteousness. She told him that, :even though Dick had been “a trifle iwild,” putting him in jail fer tak- ing money which really belonged to him from an Oltl sklnflint like John Hayes was too great a punishment. Jim stared at her ke/nly and then slowly smiled. “You seem to be taking a great deal of interest in Dick Cakes,” he 1reminded her. “A great deal more l ‘has sworn to uphold a.

They found Dick guilty with a recommendation for mercy. Judge Corraine, much against his will, sentenced him to a year in State Prison. That night, Dick Oakes had a vis- itor in jail. It was Glenna. “Dick,” she told him. “I've come to say Au revoir. I want yOu to notice that it isn’t Goodâ€"by. I’ll be seeing you as often as there is a visiting day down in the place you’re headed for.” Dick looked at her thoughtfully. , ' “I wouldn’t do that, Glenna,” he said. “After all, I'm not a citizen any more. I’m an outlaw, a con- victed criminal. You don't want to be mixed up with that kind of per- son.” “I don’t intend to be,” Glenna told “You’re not that kind That money you tookl Everybody INSURANCE LIFE, FIRE. ACCIDENT.
