thought he was headed some
where, too, but affairs some
hexy got mixed up.
Yesterday: Joe smacks into
chicken peddler and at the mo
ment when they are backing away
the state troopers come zoo"''"s
down the highway.
State Troopers McFee. Cana
han and Danzig were returning tH'
heodnuarters from having q3et
led a riot in roadhouSe. Bu'
neree;ving two apparently diS'
abIpd trucks, flock of chickens
Ttteripr no the highway and what
looked like heated argument
they paused in their homeW%ro
f6Gbt Hating their motorcycles
in the middle Of the road but
sin straddling them, they gazed
mon the recent debaterS with III
trrest State Trooper McF"e, un-
deniably the strongest personal
ity of the trio, spoke first.
.Now them" inquired State
Trooper McFee. What's gon on
here?"
antino the advent of the conStao--
MARY had been as the coming OF
RIutcher to the Duke OF Yelling
ton. Just 4 moment ago ne hau
watched helpleSSly as the Ford
backed off the telegraph pole pre-
paratory to reSuming speed. Now
it appeared that all operations
would be halted.
"DecSa guy began MI
Tarantino. pointing IT Joe.
He got no further.
..Shut up." commanded State
Trooper Niece. IN do the talkm
here. ..
Before beginning he studied
the assemblage. He was 4 little
nonplusSed by it. Antonio Gnu
seupe Tarantino looked what he
was. an excitable Italian. Kelly
and Joe looked collegiate. Ed
the Weasel looked like nothing
on earth. State Trooper Mctee
scratched his head in perpleXity,
irving to reconcile the asSocla-
ton of the three in the Ford:
You" he said ut last. lndleat-
inc Joe. What happened here"
Briefly Joe told him.
And" ne finished, "thiS fell
low expects us to pay for his
chickens when the accident was
his fault
Hell" said State Trooper Cal
lahan, who hated being left out
of a discussion. what's the sense
of payin' for 'em? They're here,
amt they"
That's more or less what we
told him." said Joe.
State Trooper McFee made up
his mind TO brook no interference
with his cross eXaminatIOn. he
indicated State Troopers Calla-
han and Danzig.
Examine that truck over
there" he ordered frigidly.
COerced bv Mr.. McFee'S force
fulneSs, State Troopers Callahan
and Danzig did as hidden. They
returned presently to report the
truck in fair condition, save for
a Slightly-dented radiator.
It'll run, won't it," asked
State Trooper McFee.
Sure. Amt nOthin' wrong with
the engine
Then take it away" said Mr.
McFee TO Antonio Giuseppe Tar
mtino. I'VE can't have no such
thing blOckin' up the road"
Antonio Giuseppe Tarantino
wrung his hands. Things were not
going to his liking. 1t looked as
if he were going to have to pay
for the wandering chickens out
of his own pocket.
But da chicks?" he remon-
strated.
Chuck cluck, said klbltZln2
hen, as if to help remind Mr.
McFee that feathered folk were
present.
State Trooper McFee gazed dis,
aTprovingly down at the hen
Then, with a sudden movement
ne bent and ScoOped her up, much
us Mr.. Frank Crosetti is wont Il
SCOOP up a grounder.
There you are he said tri
umphantly, presenting the hen t
Mr.. Tarantino. "That's the way
to catch a chicken. Why, gee,
ne added diSgustedly, II coulC
catch these here chickens myself
in FIVE minutes. Without maxim
all this rumpuS."
At this juneture State Trooper
Callahan took umbrage. For &
long time State Trooper Callahan
had been fed up with the over
