It Is doubtful If Angelo Is still In the minds of his former friends about the Central police station for new faces appear there every day and old ones disappear without comment, but the chances are if Angelo's name were mentioned to any of the older members of the force they would perhaps chance a wonder over his present polite whereabouts. To know Angelo was to know one of the best chefs in Detroit half a decade ugo. Furious Looking Dot Gentle, He used to present a picturesque study as he literally waddled his, pursy littie figure up the steep steps of the old headquarters building and paused at the first landing to shift his ever-present, generous market basket to the other arm and mop the perspiration from his swarthy face with a modest bandana handkerchief the size of a small bedsheet. Then with a final twist of a most truculent mustacnlo, he would heave a little sigh and with much exertion conquer the few remaining steps to the first floor. Short and as rotund as an animated globe, Angelo, in spite of.

his furious appearance, was good-natured. In his fierce little eyes lay a twinkle. And all policemen In those days were his friends, especially those around headquarters. Angelo wandered through the old building at will, talked with those not too busy to lend an ear to the almost un-understandable English pouring from his lips with a speed which did little to aid his pronounciation of difficult words. Roast Chicken His Specialty.

In between conversations Angelo peddled his chicken. That was what really made Angelo famous, his chicken. Tender, carefully roasted a delicate brown and garnished with all the spices dear to the Italian palate, Angelo's chicken was enough to cause an epicure to smile with pleasure. Each day he roasted other tux. Mn, In which war two men, repeated th jMirforBianca, stopping half a lr.

There, for a nominal sum, he sold his policemen friends the tasty tioblts that usually formed an Important part of their meals. Particularly were Angelo's services appreciated by the officers on night duty, who, unable to escape even for a few minutes to a restaurant, welcomed the warm, spicy legs, giblets and wings. A girl was responsible for Angelo's acquaintance and subsequent friendship with the officers at headquarters and it is undoubtedly she who was responsible for his ultimate disappearance from the familiar v.

wn is tti uuii nmv said that Angelo was old enough to know better, but the heart Is never too old to love. The girl no one ever quite knew who she was or whence she came this little slip of not over 23 in some way found her way into Angelo's commodious heart. Then, as far as police could ever see, she worked honest old Angelo for money and Jewelry and disappeared Just before the wedding. At least so those who heard the story devined It, Appealed to Police, Loyal to her despite the forebodings of his many friends, Angelo continued to believe that she had become lost. Finally in desperation he appealed to the police and though detectives lent sympathetic ears and took voluminous reports of the girl, she never was found.

But their failure to lorata her appealed not as much to Angelo as did the fact that he had found true sympathy at police headquarters and he continued to come back for nightly calls. It was about two years ago that Angelo suddenly discontinued his visits. He was there one night with his basket over his arm and his kindly eye alight with the pleasures of conversation with his policemen friends the next he was gone. For a time his disappearance was the subject of much conjecture. Then like every thing else, he dimmed and passed out of memory.

Uid he finally find his "little lost missy," as he used to call her, or did he retire on the earnings of his delicately roasted chicken? No one ever had the interest to find out and so Angelo went into the discard along with all the other faces that were once known, but have since gone.
