both Nells had a mellowing effect on
everyone.

Alan saw the stunned expression on
Pats dark and lovely face and he was
sorry for her, in a way But she had
asked for 1t, and would always ask for
just the same kind of thing and there
was nothing anyone could do. He drew
Nell to one side.
May see you again?" he asked.
She looked at him gravely and he
subdued an impulse to lift her off her
small square feet and kiss her thor
oughly
IF you want to-" she said.
Her hazel eyes grew soft and she
reached up and took the now dilapi-
dated carnation from his buttonhole.

added, white is the color of knight

And she wasn't clowning and he
didn't laugh. He held both her small
hands with the flower crumpled be-
tween them.

he told her irrelevantly.
Her cheeks turned pink and her eyes
twinkled.
That might be worth discussing
some time" she said, Our numbers

At lunch Francine asked lot of ques-

told her finally. IT hope you'll like it."
Her still beautiful eyes met his in

Her voice shook and she bit her lip

"Why not?" Alan was deliberately

HE wasn't easy to get on WITH" Alan

"Al the more reason why shouldn't

FORMER SHERIFF
WAS WELL KNOWN
LAWRENCE WEIR. FOUND DEAD IN
STREAM. WAS ELECTED FOUR
CONSECUTIVE TERMS

Lawrence larry Weir, 43. only man
to serve four consecutive terms as sher-
If Of Silver Bow county. whose body
was found in a creek eight miles north
Of Dubois, Idaho, was widely known by
law enforcement officials in Montana,
Idaho and other western areas.
A native Of Butte, Weir was born
Aug. 2. 1899. and lived in the Mining
CITY his entire lifetime His parents,
the late Mr. and Mrs. James Weir,
were pioneer Butte residents.
After his graduation from the Web
ster grade school, the future sheriff
worked at several jobs, then became
taxi driver. In 1922 he founded the
Central Cab and Transfer Co. and
operated it until January, 1881, when
he assumed office as sheriff of Silver
Bow county following his election the
previous fall.
Sheriff Weir served four two-year
terms, the longest administration OF
anyone to hold that office. He was de-
feated for the democratic nomination
in the primaries of 1898 and left Of
flee early in January of 1899 when
Sheriff Al Mcleod succeeded him.
Sheriff Sid Close of Clark county,
Idaho, who found the body. said it was
lying under three feet Of water in
Beaver creek. north of Dubois. -Four
hundred yards upstream was the car Of
the former sheriff. Discovery OF the
car gave authorities the KEY to unlock
the case which had baffled officers
and friends for four weeks. since his
disappearance from Butte April 20.
Night Chief Of Police Jack Duggan
agreed with the Idaho official that
Weir took his own life. A single bullet
hole pierced the chest and coursed
through the heart. The eX-sheriff was
known to carry a SO caliber pistol. The
death weapon could not be found.
On Weir's person was found the sum
of S90-nine $40 bills. He was reported
by Duggan to have had 500 when he
left. Also discovered in the pockets Of
the clothing on the former official
were the keys to his locked car,
watch and other effects.
