yelled.

Marie.
She was too late; the wagon had
been called

Officer Dowd calelessly. Its all a

Moore limousine.

breathlessly to her seat by the driver,

goes Miss JUNE is!''
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 Ned!'
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.

with her empty market basket. Two
blocks up Officer DOwd carried her
basket two blocks off his beat to
where Officer Herman held up the traf-
tic both ways while she described the
chicken potpie she intended to make
for dinner. All this was. 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.
