Lorena and Shot went back out
side alone, then. They liked to be
under the moon and stars. And,
anyway, Shot could always talk
more freely in the darkness; he
didn't feel half as bashful about
talking to girl then.
He wished he could find some
adroit manner of switching their
conversation back to a personal
basis, whereby he could court her
in the manner his heart bade him
to do. But he wasn't good at such
they were back on the other topic
again.

strong for him, and so stay away?"
"No, I doubt that, ma'am. Lo-

both his arms at the elbows, hold

her next words.

Also that she was treading on dan

changed the subject.

about that detective work and

it would cost more than George

enough armed force to protect his
stock, if Escobar's going to keep
building up his army and keep
raiding. And George can't very we'll

PURCELL TO AID
 IN STATE PROBE.
Institutions to Be PrObed to Get Rid of Obsolete
 Equipment

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 15--(UP)- State Finance Commissioner Olin Glenn Saxon disclosed today a thorough investigation would be made of all state institutions and departments to get rid of "obso- lescent equipment and procedures. ;"
 This work, he said, would be un- dertaken by James P. Purcell, for- mer chief clerk in the comptroller's office at Waterbury, who was the states principal witness in the cor- ruption trial of former Waterbury Mayor T. Frank Hayes and 20 others who were convicted on conspiracy charges last August.
 Purcell, according to Saxon, has been hired on a contractual basis and will receive between $500 and $350 month.
 A recent survey, Saxon said, showed the state could save ap- proximately $l5000 in heat and power bills through installation of new equipment at one institution. Purcell's inquiries, he said, were in- tended to effect further saving.
 Purcell has not held any official position since his resignation from the controllers office following the death of the late Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland.
 It was generally conceded about the city that 1t was information furnished by him which resulted in the grand jury investigation. He was an auditor under former Controller Daniel J. Leary throughout the Hayes administration.
 He was States Attorney Alcorn's chief witness and was on the wit ness stand for over three weeks
