- TO help Marie across the street
with her empty market basket Two
blocks up Officer Dowd carried her
basket two blocks OF his beat to
where Officer Herman held up the traf-
fic both ways while she described the
chicken pOtpie she tended TO make
for dinner. All this vas, first. because
the Widow O'Keefe's husband had
been the most popular man on the
force and, second. because Marie, plain
Of feature though she was. had found
in herself an unexpected knack for
pleasing policemen.
In the market June's maid, compan-
ion and protector wandered from stall
TO stall. selecting her tiny purchases
Of fruit and vegetables. She was just
deciding on the tremendously impor-
tant selection OF the chicken itself
when suddenly an avalanche of fam
ing color fell upon her and a voice
cried:
You. Marie? Whas Miss JUNE?
say, What's Miss Junie?"
Aunt Debby. Her two fat black
hands were gripped on Mar;e's arm.
A crowd began TO gather Immediately.
Marie Strengthened herself stiffly.
Il do not know your she declared.
You don't know me-" Aunt Debby
wheezed, her broad bosom jumping up
and down. "You say you don't know
me! Amt 1 Debby? Amt you Ma
rie?"
Marie with a sudden jerk freed her
self from that earnest grasp and would
have been far down the street had it
not been for the thickening crowd.
Aunt Debby, plunging forward with
unbelievable agility, threw both arms
around her.
What's the matter herep The
gruff voice OF big policeman.

eyes.
"Oh. you dor And the officer of the
law turned on Marie an eye which was
perfectly ready to be suspicious in
spite Of It's Discrimination. whats the

The voice OF Aunt Debby rose shrilly
triumphant:
'She done stole my pocketbookr'
1t was Maries turn to look aStounded.
'Oh, she did! When? Here In the
marketT
''Yas. sir. she did Right up hyah at

And Aunt Debby's eyes dropped as she
saw the stern gaze of the policeman
fixed on the rusty old hand bag which

dered the big policeman.
Il don't leave this spot without that
girl" declared Aunt Debby, planting
her fists on her hips and spreading
her feet apart. Then the outraged
majesty OF the law asserted itself.
Hey. Billyl Call the wagon! IL
yelled
Please don't arrest her" begged
Marie.
She was too late; the wagon had
been called.
Sorry, miss" said the officer who
had first interfered. "but this party
went too far" And be turned TO help
toss the culprit In.
"Oh. Mr.. Dowdw The voice or Ma
rie was suddenly bright and care free.
The three policemen who had been
assisting Aunt Debby turned quickly
as Officer DOwd pushed smilingly
through the crowd to the side OF Ma
RE.
What's the trouble?' he inquired.
Marie whispered her explanation.
Let the smoke go. boys" requested
Officer DOwd carelessly. Its all
mistake"
Now you hikeP' ordered the police
man and gave Aunt Debby a poke In
the ribs.
Slowly she waddled to the chicken
market, where she found her basket
intact in the stall of the poultryman,
and slowly she walked up a block to
the adjacent avenue. where stood the
Moore limousine.
Jerry" she called as she climbed
breathlessly to her seat by the driver,
81 done seed Marie! And whah she
goes Miss JUNE isT'
The car was already started.
"where?'' asked Jerry, all quivering
eagerness.
Aunt Debby's eyes rolled. She could
talk no more but she made a circular
motion with her hand. and Jerry un-
derstOod.
There seemed to be small profit In cir
culating. and after a few minutes of
this tedious process Aunt Debby. who
seemed to be tremendously prolific of
ideas today. said:
"Mistah NedP'
To Ned's they drove, and within FIVE
minutes after Aunt Debby's excited re-
port Ned Warner and John Moore and
three long and lanky detectives were
headed for the market. with Jerry and
Aunt Debby up in front. At that point
they scattered. and it was Ned whose
inquiries after Marie led all the way
to officer DOwd.
