CHAPTER SIX A TATE TROOPERS MFEE, CALJ LAHAN AND DANZIG were returning to headquarters from having quelled a riot in a roadhouse. But perceiving two apparently disabled trucks, a8 flock of chickens littering up the highway and what looked like a heated argument, they paused in their homeward flight. Halting their motoreyveles in the middle of the road but still straddling them, they gazed upon the recent debaters

discussion, “what's the sense of payin’ for 'em? They're here, ain't they?"

\ TROOPER M'FEE gazed disapprovingly down at a hen. Then, with a sudden movement he bent and scooped her up, much as Mr. Frank Crosetti is wont to scoop up a grounder, There you are” he said triumphantly, presenting the hen to Mr. Tarantino. “That's the way to catch a chicken. Why, gee.” he added disgustedly, “I could catch these here chickens myself in five minutes. Without makin’ all this rumpus.” State Trooper Callahan insinuated himself into the picture. “I'll bet you a dollar,” said State Trooper Callahan, eveing Mr. MecFee evenly, “that I can catch more of these chickens than you can.” State Trooper McFee looked al him pityingly, then with mounting anger. His status as a chickencatcher had been impugned. And by one over whom he had long been accustomed to lord it. “Why, you poor sap,” he said, and thought to have settled the matter. But he hadn't, “I've still got a dollar,” persisted State Trooper Callahan, “that says I can.” State Trooper McFee glared at

These were handed to Mr. Tarantino who pushed them into one of the damaged crates as best he could. From the front seat of the Ford Kelly Archer looked on, exasperated. “Well, isn't this something?” she said, in a low voice. “Here we are being forced to Canada at the point of a gun and the law spends the golden hours chasing chickens. No wonder things are upset in this country.” Something hard struck the small of her back
