POLICEMAN SAVES DAY FOR YOUNGSTERS The majestic arm of the law. personified by Policeman Mark Keefe doing trafric duty at Lincoln and Washington streets, reached out yesterday to prevent an accident utterly ruining the Saturday morning expedition of rive Madison street youngsters.

They had scoured Retreat avenue until their cart was full of small branches and were proceeding homeward when one of the cart wheels parted company from the axle, bringing the expedition to a halt and spilling part of the carg-o into the street. Two very young daughters of Eve burst into tears when Policeman Keefe left his post and made toward them, while the three boys divided their effefrts between trying to keep the wood on the" wagon and endeavoring to replace the wheel. But the policeman. Just as Impressively as if he had been directing traffic at Main and Pearl streets, stopped a passing coal truck and secured an axle nut which would replace the one whose loss had caused the breakdown. The fingers of the wagon crew were unequal to the mechanical task, so a passing delivery car was halted and from its tool box was secured a wrench which enabled the repairs to be made and the quintet to remove what was officially a traffic hazard.
