THE SPEEDWAY FLYER

UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE oR By J. T. BARBER McClure Feature..

MfVKEEFE, upstair*!’’ VF Patrolman O’Keefe dropped his dissembled pistol on the assembly room table beside the rags and cleaning oil and hot-footed it up to the lieutenant’s office. He knew what the lieutenant would say. The lieutenant would say: “O’Keefe, what are you mooning about? You’re slowing up.” O’Keefe would reply: “Lieutenant, do you know Miss Polly Cudahay that lives at 400 North Woodbine?” And the lieutenant would say: “No, O’Keefe. Tell me about her.” Then Patrolman O’Keefe would go on to say how a woman could trouble a man by deliberately ignoring his brass buttons and his tall bluecoated figure of authority. And when a woman like that had dove's eyes and hair like the pale amber fire in honey under sunlight and a nose that rivaled the poetry of her mouth—why it was nothing less than unnecessary risk and exposure. He would a§k the lieutenant’s sdyice. / “O’Keefe!” the lieutenant snapped when the patrolman had saluted, “get set for a quickie in your district tonight. You’re going on duty! now. Dust out to Woodbine Bide in the grocery store there and do your duty.” O’Keefe’s mouth closed over his private troubles with the abruptness of a sprung trap. It was probably the mob from Philly, who had been bitting a different grocery in town every Saturday night They were raiders, "quickies” who swooped down and carried off the day’s receipts. “O’Keefe,” the lieutenant was saying, “a good piece of work on this job will get you a promotion.” “Yes, sir,” replied O’Keefe, even while his will power struggled to submerge the disconcerting influence of Polly Cudahay. It was the more difficult because unfortunately she lived just across the street from the store.

When he got to the corner he paused on the curb for one last look around before entering the store. It was not entirely necessary, but his bright blue eye had fallen upon the alluring face of f’olly Cudahay and he thought it would be a swell idea to ignore her officially. Accordingly he paused there by the waterplug and,_glancing unconcernedly about, straightened his belt with just that unstudied touch that makes efficiency a pleasure. He wanted her to 1 get a good look this time at a fine looking policeman and evidently she did because she seemed to be looking him up and down without seeing him at all. He was burrowed amoitg boxes and bags In the grocery three torturous hours when they came in. Three of them. O’Keefe studied the men from the black ' shadow of his vantage point. It wasn’t much of a place to shoot from. His hands twitched under the strain, but there wasn’t anything to do but wait. The trio fiddled around until the last customers left the store and then at a signal they pulled their guns. It was all done in the flick of an eyelash. Now it was time for O’Keefe to act. But someone else was acting. With the suddenness of a squall a riot squad had come pouring in through the front and side doors, shooting as they came. In ten seconds the place was a madhouse of staccato shots. Cans of vegetables began to leak over everything. Patrolman O’Keefe was in the thick of it then. The stumbling figure of a riddled gunman crashed into him. He grappled with the bandit and took his gun. Then he did some effective shooting with it It gave him a thrill to shoot the robbers with their own weapon. Afterward when everyone was congratulating him he became more and more indignant. It was something that had come up to gnaw within him and to embitter his triumph. And when he could get away it took him no more than a split second to reach Polly Cudahay’s door. He wanted to ask her if she thought he was so weak and wan that he needed help on that little job. And what business was it of hers anyway? He didn’t expect her to deny it, but she did. She-denied with flashing eye she had anything to do with calling the riot squad. He could see then that if he ever kissed her it would have to be a delight separate and remote from any subject that happened to be up for discussion. “And you didn’t wonder what I was doing on the curb?” he growled. "I did not.” she said. “Policemen stand around on curbs all the time, like the braggarts they are, all brass and buttons.” “It’s the uniform Colleen,” he informed her with dignity. “It isn’t the man. The badge on the tunic and the gun on the hip—they clothe a common man with the authority of the law.” “Oh, yes?” said Miss Cudahay with a belittling eye on his right hip. “Well, you’ve practically been a nudist for hours!”) With that Patrolman O’Keefe clapped a dismaying hand to his heavy service holster and found it as empty as his pride.
