to hide than that torn place in his
trousers when he was a student
preacher.
Its young Ransom, gentlemen.
Robert Ransom, junior. I'm negli-
gent about introductions, but this
whole procedure is little out of
my routine"
mot the steel magnate's son and
heir?" a member of the press
asked. "Oh, boy, what yarn! Will
we go to town on this, or will we
go to town? ?"
II don't know if you'll go to
town, but you'll get out of this
house in a hurry" the boy about
whom they were talking answered.
He spoke to the minister. 'I'n be
back in a few moments, sir. Don't
do anything till I get here!"
Corrinne had a glimpse Of a
white, set face and young, hurt
eyes that flashed defiance. Bob
smiled at her, but it was a sorry
gesture. She was too hurt, too up
set, to think about it then. But
Sarah Anne understood better. She
heard herself say to Bob Kennedy
in low voice:
Hes being grand, Bob. He's do
ing things. But when he has to sit
still and think-What then ?"
ut will make man of the kid"
Bob answered. He stood up, moved
in front of her. my back will
make nice picture for the tab
loid, lot better than your face"
The rest of that hour was a con-
fused picture when Sarah Anne
tried to reconstruct it later. Two
things stood out clearly. One was
the moment when her father had
asked the amount of bail that was
required for Corrinne, who other
wise would be held in the county
Jail as witness. When it was
named, he didn't answer for a mo-
ment. His face became unutterably
weary. 1t was a sum larger than
the amount that he earned in a
year of his ministry. And his
daughters were thinking the same
thing as they saw that drawn ex-
preston.
He had toiled humb1y and long,
done good where he could, and yet
he had no money to offer for his
child's freedom. When he spoke,
his voice was quiet, though. "Well,
gentlemen, I can't comply with
your request, but if you'll give me
a couple Of hours I'll see what 1
can do" He reached for his hat,
tired looking gray felt affair, as he
spoke.
The second event which Sarah
Anne recalled was the manner in
which Robert Kennedy's voice in
terceded.
II am posting bail, gentlemen of
the law. Shall I go with you now?"
It did not seem unusual, at that
moment, that he should make such
a gesture. Nor was it surprising
that he had that amount of money.
There was no danger that Corrinne
would be missing. It was "safe"
investment.
"Chin up, Sarah Anne," Bob
whispered to her. '"This will be for
gotten in a week."
"But what merry, merry
week." she replied more vengefully
than she knew. The safety of her
childhood was breaking up. She
could feel it going. There was no
peace, no protection, and her ia
ther was not an all-powerful leader
who could command any situation.

CHAPTER TEIRTY-ONE


1T WAS Robert Ransom who
answered the statement of the po-
lice officer who had said:
There's some bail wanted for
you, young lady. You're being held
as special witness for the state
Robert said: "A wife can't testify
against her husband, and until
this marriage is annulled-as it's
going to be-Corrinne is this
man wife," He chOked on the
final word.
The policeman who had been
talking was middle-aged. He had
worn his badge for a long time.
He had seen girls who effected a
brazen Indifference, and some who
Wept copiously. A few there had
been, only few, who took the
medicine with head up, eyes steady,
asking no quarter, poised and SEN
sitive and concealing their desper-
ate hurt. Corrinne was one of these.
He felt sorry for her. "You have
no place in such a situation" he
explained, more gently now. But
since you're involved, the best
thing to do is cooperate. I think
you want to, anyway. AS for the
idea of you being the rascaPs
wife" His eyes held grim twin
kle. "If it helps you any, you might
as well know you're not"
But we had q real wedding, a
real license"
"Sure you did," He paused. The
silence in the room was so vibrant
it cracked with suspense. Eight
pairs of eyes were focused Oh the
policeman. No one spoke. He went
on at last:
Pretty boy Robin wasn't a bach
elor. He has wife he's had for the
last ten years spent the night at
the local hote' with her not so long
ago."
"The night his car was supposed
ly stolen," Sarah Anne said then.
Now was her chance. Everyone was
too engrossed with the startling
suddenness of this news to inter-
fere, so she began: But Corrinne
lied to protect me. I was the girl
at the lodge. wore her hat and
coat ="
That was as far as she got.
There were steps in the hall and
three strange men entered.
Hi, chief" the one nearest ad-
dressed the police officer. 1--WE want
to catch the next edition :"
"The press arrives" Corrinne
said, as though it were of no i'm
portance, but her eyes were bit
ter. "You want pictures, don't you,
gentlemen? I see you have your lit
tie black boxes"
''The scoop-hounds themselves"
the first man answered cheerfully.
There, sweetheart, hold that
pose"
He motioned to a cameraman
who had followed him with his
camera ready, but before the man
could click his shutter, Robert Ran
SONS fist swung out and smashed
the camera lens.
In the midst Of the excitement,
the spokesman for the group said:
"Who's that ?"
1t was the minister who an
swered, though his daughters tried
to silence him. He had told the
truth all of his life, and he never
had had anything more important

151 Tolators Escape
 Payment or Full Fines Commissioner Connor Appeals for Cooperation of Courts in Enforcing Laws-"City Slickers"
 Called Worse Offenders in State.

Of 335 motor vehicle operators presented in courts of the state last year because of operating a motor vehicle while drivers license Is un- der suspension" forty-seven per cent, or 15l cases, escaped without paying the full fine.
 We believe that operating a mo- tor vehicle while ones license is un- der suspension is a serious viola tion," stated Commissioner Michael A. Connor, commenting on the above fact which was developed il, a study the Department of Motor Vehicles is making of the discipline administered last year by courts in connection with cases involving mis- use of operators licenses. "When the courts of the state treat such offenders lightly 1t nullifies the only disciplinary weapon possessed by the Commissioner of Motor Ve- hicleS-licenSe suspension.
 Suspension Feared
 We believe that license SuSpen- sion is more potent than court fines in causing many persons to appre- ciate the error of their ways in violating traffic laws. But if courts are not going to punish operators who, while their licenses are under suspension, choose to flout the de- partment's ruling, then the effec- tiveness of license suspension is weakened.
 "The department is criticized at times because individuals known to be traffic violators are still operat- ing motor vehicles. Tn most of Sucl, instances the department has acted to the full extent of it's power. We notify the police of all suspensions and expect the local police to keep tabs on those who licenses have been suspended. When repeat-vio- lators have been arrested and pre- scented in court on such a serious charge it is most discouraging tc note the lenient attitude of some judges"
 The "city slicker" is the worst of fender, as 245 of those apprehended gave as their addresses communi- ties having established police de- partments and considered urban places. The four large cities of the state contributed III of the total about one-third, with Bridgeport having the doubtful honor of fur nishing the most cases, forty in number.
 Few Women
 Seventeen violators were between seventeen and nineteen years of age As would be expected from past stu dies of operator behaviour, the bulk of the group were in their "early twenties," there being l68 cases from twenty to twenty-nine years oi age. inclusive. One woman was numbered in this group. Of eighty two cases in their "thirties" one was a woman, and of thirty-six in theil "forties" one was a woman.
 Such conduct results in renewed suspension of the right to drive ir Connecticut" commented Commis- sioner Connor, but If they get away with 1t once some will probably try it again. Such cases vary from othel traffic violations. Either they arc operating while license is under sus' pension or else they are not. It | an open and shut proposition. Ws notify operators Of all suspensions.

| Ignorance of the departments deci- sion cannot be offered in defense There were 5000 traffic cases pre- sented in courts during 1888 wherein the violation concerned the indiv- idual's license. Many drive without applying for a license, others forget to renew their license, etc, but the most barefaced flouting of the law is committed by those who boldly continue to operate after being in- formed their right to do so has been suspended.
