Class of 1931 Though lost to sight, to memory dear.’ G. A. KETC'HAM, Principal 10 B I T T E R R O O T The Faculty “Ilurrah for the faculty!” Say we of our teachers. We call them by that Though they’re pretty good preachers. They teach us to talk And know things of importance. They poke at us lessons, And work comes in torrents. They scold when we’re late. They’re glad when we’re not. Sometimes we get good grades, And that helps a lot. They lecture and storm About things big or small. Blit they mean for the best, Don’t forget, after all. They have taught us the best That their knowledge allows. In the field of our ignorance, They are the plows. Yes, surely, our teachers Are noble and good, Because they have helped us To grow as we should. So here’s to the faculty. May it live on forever! Will we ever forget it?

H. S. The hour for school was drawing near; The freshman walked right in; The school bell chimes he now did hear; IIis dumbness was a sin. He registered and paid his fee For Konah and for books; He thought himself now quite tin lad, Tho not so much for looks. Ilis proudness lasted but a day, For soon his head was shorn ; The mighty seniors trod on him; For foot-pad he was born. JI is freshman year did soon pass by. And arguments were lost, With principal and football coach For what the “lost” had cost. The time for school again drew near; With foot-steps sad and slow. The “Studes” from everywhere appeared ; To High School they must go. The football coach for volunteers Did in assembly call; IIis annual cry for husky boys Did rouse them, one and all. Once more for football did he try; lie thought it all in vain, But training in his freshman year Did help him win the game. He braved the hardships and the work, And turned out every night; His practice he did never shirk, But worked with all his might. 4 2 T II E B I T T E tt R O O T One morning in assembly there, The coach his name did call, And told how he had helped to win The games for one and all. The day had come when he did get An “M” of blue and gold; Long years will pass ere he’ll forget Those happy days of old. And now the Junior year arrives; Our boy is quite a sheik; lie falls in love, but still survives; The girls no more he’ll seek. But, finally, for the Junior prom, lie did consent to take, A girl quite different from the rest; His heart again did break. At last the longed for time is here; Our student now does see, The grand and glorious senior year; A happy boy is he. But soon he notes with saddened face How soon the last year flees; He’ll have to leave that dear old place, With naught but memories. He takes his sheepskin with regret, And thinks with tenderness How long ’twill be ere he’ll forget His dear old M. II. S. —Pauline Bras, ’30 B I T T K R U O O T 4� .

T H E B I T T E R R O O T 47 § VELEQME I 5EMIDR5 B 1 T T E K R O O T 48 T II E Our high school days are almost o’er, and I I)o wonder now if I have done my best; If I have met with smiles each crucial test, And have 1 met them all with that old cry, “I’ll not give up the ship until I die!” Or have I shirked my duty with a jest, And left it for some joy, or lighter quest! Do T for life’s hard trials qualify? For now my training days are nearly o’er. And I am thinking of the solo flight, When out through atmosphere of life I’ll soar, When winds and snows and fogs I’ll have to fight, And just as in those high school days of yore, Willi smiles of courage I will prove my might.

Sanders T IT E E I T T E R R O O T 71 1. Mebtti Thompson, half-back. Undoubtedly “Tommy” contributed more to the team’s success than any other one man. It was “Tommy’s” passes which puzzled Whitefish and gave us the lead only to lose it when “Tommy” was hurt and taken out. We are sincerely sorry that “Tommy” has no more athletics with us. lie was given a place on Coaches’ and Scott’s first all-state team. 2. James Zadra, guard. “Jim” came from Corvallis to teach us football and he surely knew how to fight. When “Jim” hit a man there was no doubt about the man being out of the play. No gains came through “Jimmy.” He will be ineligible next year. He was given honorable mention on Coaches’ and Scott’s all-state teams. 3. Walfrid Fallman, center. “Ikey” played his first year at center, after two seasons at every position on the team. He held down the job like a true veteran. When he got mad it was too bad for the opposing players. “Ikey” graduates from us this year. 4. Captain Walter Custer, tackle. Of all of Missoula’s line, no part was stronger or more aggressive than the tackle position held by “Honey.” Opposing players found themselves in trouble when attempting to block him out. It was “Honey’s” third years of competition and he showed his experience to a great advantage. 11 is suit will be hard to fill next fall. f . Bob Jones, f ullback. Bob was the boy who backed up the line. When he made up his mind, nothing could get through the forward wall. In line bucking Jonesy showed to his best advantage against Butte. lie also showed talent at stopping White- fish’s 180-pound bone-crushers. He was given honorable mention on coaches’ a 11-state team. (i. Robert Smith, guard. “Smitty” played great football while he was in. About the middle of the season, he broke a leg in practice and was out for the rest of the season. This was especially tough as he would have been one of the best guards in the state as lie had two years experience behind him. “Smitty” leaves us this year. 7. Captain-elect, Taylor Clark, lia f-back. “Squirrelly” was about the peppiest member of the Missoula team. lie was always keeping the spirits of his team-mates up. Hut Clark was good for other things. When it came to carrying the ball, “Squirrelly” surely did his part. We are lucky to have a captain such as Clark for our next year’s team. 8. Rudolph Sayler, quarter-back. “Rudy” was one of the best open field runners in the state. In returning punts or in end runs, “Rudy” was a hard man to catch. Best of all “Rudy” could punt. In Great Falls he Avas credited with a 74-yard boot. We will have him back next year. He Avas given honorable mention on Scott’s all-state team. I). Claget Sanders, guard Although hampered by his legs which were injured in the previous football season, “Tad” came back this year to take the other teams apart. When “Tad” 1- T II K H I T T K H K O O T 10. Cole 13. Shupe 16. Erb 11. Rusk 14. Brlandson 17. Disbrow 12. Jacobsen 15. Stanfield 18. White T II E B 1 T T E R R O O T 7:? made up his mind to hold, no gains were made through him. lie will not be back next year. 10. Stanley Cole, end “Tanglefoot” showed his ability in all of the big games. Although small he handled himself like a veteran. lie showed talent as a ball carrier on passes on many occasions. We lose Cole this year. 11. James Rusk, end “Jimmy” was out to play football and he did. When he caught on, the interference didn’t stop him from dragging a man down in his tracks. Rusk played a good consistent game. We will lose him this year. 12. Arthur Jacobsen, end Here’s another scrappy end. “Jakey” stepped right up and when he got his stride the opposing half-backs weren’t safe on the end runs. “Jakey” showed to his best advantage in Whitefish. He will be with us again next year. 13. Merle Shupe, half-bark “Shupy” did his best this year in every way. In charging no one could beat him. When he got his head down, a brick wall could barely stop him. He returned a kickoff of 40 yards in the Hamilton game. We will have Shupe back next year. 14.

When Ted was in the game, he took them out good and proper, lie showed up well in the Hamilton game. lie graduates in June. 15. Charles Stanfield, tackle Here was a tackle who was developed in his first year. Stanfield did his best and in return made the team. He used his weight to a good advantage and off-tackle plays did not work on his side. We will have him next year. 16. Philip Erb, guard Fighting, charging, and never-licked “Phil” held down his position like a master. Few gains were made through him and many losses of yardage to the other team could be traced to “Phil”. He will not be with us next year. He was given honorable mention on coaches’ and Scott’s second team. 17. Bill Disbrow, full-back “Billy” took great pleasure in seeing the other man fall. He played a great game of football in the Hamilton game. He is also credited with the two longest runs of the season, 50 and 70 yards, respectively, lie will not be back next year. 18. Bor White, tackle Although only a freshman. White showed spirit and fight enough to make the grade. In the Hamilton game, White, with no previous experience, made mince-meat of the opposing line. We will have him for many more games under Missoula’s colors. 74 T II E H I T T K U It O O T Husk, White, Fallman, Clark, Stanfield.

He had no really big men to build liis team around. With the boys he had, however, he built a team of which Missoula High has every reason to be proud. This team won four of its seven games, piling up 176 points to their opponents’ 46. A reputation was gained also by this spirited squad of boys; that of being the hardest fighting and cleanest playing team in the state. This alone is enough to merit recognition. The team beat Philips- burg, Stevensville, Hamilton, and Kalispell by decisive scores. They lost to Butte, Great Falls, and Whitefish in the closest of battles. In Whitefish the team played football as no other team of high school boys has been credited with playing. Although losing the game, due to the loss of the quarterback, Missoula showed the football world that day what a team, averaging 145 pounds, can do compared with one weighing ISO pounds to the man. If the teams of Missoula uphold the standard of team spirit which this year’s team has set, no fear for a poor football team will be found in the school. On the squad this year was a number of boys who, although they made no letter, deserve great credit for the faithful way in which they turned out to support the squad in practice. Dunn, Allen, Willard, Wilcox, Hamilton, Muller, Sager, Neff, Ilobbs, Durrant. Christian, Marion, Nash, Sellers, McQuarrie are boys who must be credited with the spirit to stay with a thing in spite of the odds. Some of these boys will have no more chance to play. To the others who do, the will lo win will continue to bring glory to M. 11. S. TEAM, TEAM Team, team, bully for team; Bully for team, rah! Team, team, bully for team; Bully for team, rah!

One of these, Merth Thompson, was lost through ineligibility, due to eight semesters, at the end of the first semester. Out of the material Coach Stegner built a very good team. This team of hoys beat such notable teams as Butte Central, Helena, Anaconda, St. Maries, Idaho, and many others of lesser ability. The average was high in percentage of games won for the season. At the Mining District Tourney, Missoula won her opening round from Lima. She also defeated Helena in the second game but lost the third to Butte Central. After this hard schedule Missoula again played Helena and lost. This eliminated her. Missoula did not go to the State Tournament as a result of not placing in the Mining District. Although Merth Thompson had been elected honorary captain and was given his letter the first semester, the lettermen were: Fallman, Sayler, Chris- tian, Holmes, Erlandson, Wilcox, and Hamilton. They elected Bill Disbrow captain for the season. Besides these men there were others on the squad who deserve credit for their work: Jacobsen, Stanfield, Muller, White, MacLean, McQuarrie, and Brown. They will be back next year to play for Missoula. T II E B I T T E H R O O T 81 Standing: Coach Stegncr, Jones, Hamilton, Tweto, Custer, Fallman, Rusk, Assistant Coach Ritter, Manager Stempke.

Waif rid Fallman heaved the javelin 161 feet, 2 inches for first place in the javelin. Ogden Tweto turned in a good mile and took fourth place.

Here’s a Christmas gift for next year already! And 1 ’m still worrying about my Ford. I looked at the gas tank to see how much gas I had and it pointed to one-half, but I can’t tell whether it means it’s half-full or half-empty! Florence Steinbrenner (Calling): Oh Pat! You look like you’d been in a wreck! What’s the matter, did you give up trying to teach Hazel to drive your car? Pat Wilcox: Did I! And how! I tried my best, but the last time we went driving, she insisted on driving across a suspension bridge with no railing, and when I told her to release her clutch, she let go of the steer- ing wheel!

Here in these class rooms, all the days so long. And wished they’d pass more slowly. Is that wrong? And thus I sit and muse behind my tears. How I should love to shout it loud with cheers; I would that I might put it into song; I know ’twill often help to make me strong. Just to remember these dear precious years. But, though I leave familiar scenes behind, Within my heart forever will I keep These gifts I’ve found, nor ever let them go. And never, no, no never, shall 1 find Such teachers, friends, and memories so deep— As in this school where once I used to go. Kathryn Mason, ’JO. The House Oh Vacant House, where do your sad thoughts turn ? Windows that stare like eyes from out the past! What echoes rang within thy old walls last? What passion hot under thy roof did burn What mysteries do thy dim eyes discern ? What untold secrets of mankind thou hast! What memories those worn floors have amassed! From thee, O House, mortals have much to learn! Human ideals are like thee, House of Old! Inhabitants have spent their lives in you. And you have kindly sheltered them from cold. We mortals live within our ideals, too. And they can tell the same thing you have told ; How men forget and leave you for the new. Mulford Crutchfield, ’30. T II K Ii I T T K It It O O T IL'S Shy lock, the Jew, lived in Missoula, lie was a pawn-broker, who had made his fortune by lending money at exorbitant rates. Shylock was very hard- hearted, and when he lent money, he was so very severe in exacting payment that lie was both feared and hated by all good men. Antonio, a young Motion Picture Director, especially disliked him. Shylock, in turn, hated him because he lent money to people in distress and never would take interest for the money. Antonio was popular with everyone and was greatly beloved by all his fellow-citizens. 11 is best friend, however, was Bassanio. Bassanio was a sheik with such expensive tastes that the small fortune left him by his father was soon spent, but Ik never wanted for anything if Antonio found out about it. One day Bassanio called at Antonio’s office on Broadway and told him that he was in love with a beautiful girl, whose name was Portia. He said that she lived in Butte, where her father had died leaving her a rich mine. Bassanio asked Antonio if he could lend him about six thousand dollars. He promised to pay it back in a certain length of time. Antonio had all his money invested in a new picture, which he had just released ; but he told Bassanio that he would borrow the money from Shylock. He was so sure that the picture would prove a success and bring him a fortune. They went together to Shylock’s office to borrow the money. At first, Shylock could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw Antonio coming to borrow money from him. lie declined the interest offered by Antonio, but secretly decided that Antonio should suffer for the ancient grudge. He had Antonio sign an agreement that if he was not able to pay the note at the end of the desig- nated time, he, Antonio, was to crawl around a block upon his hands and knees. Bassanio bought a new Buick and drove to Butte where he was to meet Portia. He dazzled her with a diamond ring which he placed on her finger when she shyly promised to be his wife. Just as they were planning the wed- ding, a messenger from the Western Union Office rapped at the door. As soon as Bassanio saw the messenger, he knew something was wrong. He tore open the envelope; this was the message: “Dear Bassanio: My show is a flop. Shylock demands payment. I must keep the pledge. If you love me, come at once and watch me do the turkey trot. Signed, Antonio.” T II E B I T T K U K O O T 120 Portia demanded to know what it was all about; so Bassanio told her of ihe note and the pledge. She decided they should marry at once and that he should take the car and go to Antonio’s aid. wondered if it would not be possible to do something to beat old Shy lock at his own game. Portia said that she would dress up as a lawyer and that Nerissa should be her clerk. Portia called up Judge Jones to see if he could arrange it. Upon arriving at the court room, they found that Antonio had no lawyer. Judge Jones appointed Portia to act in that capacity. She was so well disguised that even Bassanio did not recognize her. When the terms of the agreement were read, Portia ruled that the law must take its course. Antonio would have to pay the note or keep the pledge. Shylock was so delighted that he could scarce contain himself. lie demanded that the bond be forfeited at once. Portia picked up a ponderous volume which she had brought with her. She read a moment, and then, nodding her head as if satisfied with what she had read, she said: ‘‘Shylock, did it ever occur to you that here in America one citizen is not allowed to make a fool out of another ? It may be that Antonio has signed this bond. lie did this only because he was so distressed that he could not help his friend. You took advantage of this. Nevertheless, I rule that Antono will have to keep his promise.” Portia ordered Antonio to get ready to keep his part of the agreement. Shy- lock got up and said, “Come on.” But Portia told him to sit down and wait a few moments. Turning to Nerissa, she said something in a low tone. Nerissa stepped out into the hall and returned with a large block of wood. Taking Antonio’s arm, she led him around the block and all the party left the hall. Shylock was still sitting dumbfounded, wondering what it was all about. He saw something lying on the top of the block of wood. He got up, walked over to see what it was, and found it was a check for six thousand dollars. Basil Smith. ’32. T II B B I T T K K K ( O T The Oriental Rug I. THE WOOL The finest fleeces sheltered long— Oh, years of watching mountain flocks. On grassy slopes, o’er hoof-worn rocks, And driving on in shearing days, The blinding dust in the shepherd’s face; Oh, driving, watching endlessly, Oh, rest and peace by an Eastern sea; And very rivers lulled their play, While shepherds with their task grew grey, And tottered hoary down the hill. And all was changed there; but still Roaming sheep and the ocean’s song. Oh, colors, wondrous strange and fine— The thieved life of tender flowers, Flaunting defiance from heights and towers Till spied by one with courage led. And snatched in brown hands from their bed; Sweet herbs that soothed the weary’s pain. That rooted, struggling on the plain ; Gay blossoms smiling ’neath the sun, That took its art to give again; Summae that nodded in the wind, Red from the pomegranate’s hard rind; Plants that clung to rocks on the shore, Treasures and mosses where billows roar; All these; and ripened like old wine. T II K B I T T K K BOO T The mystery of enchanted lands Writ in symbols, sacred, strange. That breathed a scent of holy things, Sanction of the enlightened one, Buddha, glorious as the sun; The eloquence of a lover’s song, Held in a thread through the ages long; The glory of a master’s art. Toil for the hands, but from the heart; The tales of a thousand magic years, Their peace, their joy, and yet their tears, For the soul of a people’s captured there, Interwoven with life, and death, and prayer. And the dreams of him that plied the thread, Sold for his bit of meager bread; A fable saved from the shifting sands. In clearings in a northern wood in June A sumptuous wine distilled into the air, So spicy fragrant, softly sweet; and fair Clear notes were heard from bird throats e’en at noon. Our Blackfoot country hears another tune— The meadowlark and slender streams that dare To swell to torrents, singing, free from care. And by the lake at night, perhaps, the loon. Here, too, the air is wine—but heady wine— Not honey-sweet, but keen and cooled by snow On mountain heights, tempered with mellow sun. That northern wine is spilled : scarcely a sign Survives the saw. the torch, the mine. Must flow Ours, too, or may a kinder fate be won ? June Mason, ’30. Pauline Ritciiev, ’30.

T II K B I T T E R It O O T 137 A Play in One Act By ELINOR MARLOWE [Note: This play is based on the Associated Press news Hem, “Chicago, Feb. 27.—AP—The police department has been ordered la look for Miss Angie Broil’s little brown overshoe—left foot. As soon as she discovered the loss last night she went right to Summer dale police station. The Summerdale police told her to go to police headquarters. At police headquarters she was directed to the Central police station. Finally, at the Central station, a gentlemanly sergeant took a complete description of the missing footwear and broadcast a message to all police districts to be on the alert for one little brown overshoe— left foot.] CHARACTERS MARION ELLSWORTH. MR. BROCK, Police Official of Central Station. BOB SILLS, Assistant Official. ALICE DUNSTAN, Marion’s Friend and Brock’s Niece. ED RICHARDS, Police Investigator. SETTING TIME: About 4:30 P. M. on a winter afternoon. PLACE: Central Police Station in Chicago. The scene is laid in the office of Mr. Brock, the police official. On the left is a desk on which there is a telephone. A door at left front leads to other offices of the department, and one at center back opens onto the street. On the right is a tong chair-like bench. A little to the right of the street door, at center stage. is a chair. facing the desk. As the scene opens, we find Mr. Brock seated at his desk in a thoughtful mood. Mr. Brock (liaising his head and turning slightly toward door at left): Bob, come here a minute, will you? Bob Sills (Entering): Yes, sir. What is it? Brock: Richards has just brought in his report concerning that Mallory diamond robbery. They’ve made a thorough examination of the finger-prints found on the safe and they’re certain they were made by a woman. Bob (Surprised): A woman? Brock: Yes, and if one may judge by the size of the finger-prints, the woman is not very large or at least she has small hands. T II K B I T T E R It O O T 188 Bob: Ilmmm! Darned unusual 1 calls it! The only access to the room where the diamond was cashed away is through that window at the back of the house, and (Looking down at legs and feet)—why, it would take a longer- legged guy than I am to make the jump from the garage to the window! Brock: I know. It seems impossible that a woman could have done it, but those finger-prints—-they count for something, you know. Bob: Yes, I suppose they do. (Starts paving up and down room. Tele- phone rings.) Brock (Answering): Hello. Yes, this is Central Station—-what? You say there’s a girl on her way over here to inquire about an overshoe she lost?— Hmm! Is kind of queer!—O. K., chief, I’ll try. (Hangs up receiver.) Bob (Stopping and turning toward Brock): Well? Brock: That was the Chief. He says there’s a girl coming over here to inquire about an over-shoe she lost. She won’t tell why she’s so anxious to find it, but she seems to be in terrible haste to recover it. Bob (Though fully regarding Brock): II mm! Darned unusual 1 calls it! Brock: That’s what he thought. I guess she’s been to three or four stations already and they’ve all referred her on to another. Bob (Puzzled): Then this dame’s cornin’ here to see what we can do about it? Brock: Yes. She ought to be here in a few minutes, I think. Bob (Pacing up and down room, suddenly stops and claps his fist on the palm of the other hand): By gosh! I believe I have an idea! This might be the dame what stole that Mallory diamond! Brock : But— Bob: Well, why not? Looks like she wants that overshoe for some shady reason or else she wouldn’t be so darned secretive about it! Brock (A little puzzled): But how can you connect a lost overshoe with the diamond robbery ? Bob: Well—of course I can’t be certain, but mebbe if it’s found (Ponder- ing) she’s—no—wait a minute! (Stops a moment to think)—Say! Mebbe she’s got the diamond sewed up in the overshoe somewhere! You never can tell what some of these crooks will do, y’ know. Brock: Don’t you think we’d better investigate a little further before we start pinning such a crime as this on her? Bob: Oh, sure, sure. ’Twon’t do no harm to ’vestigate matters, but mark my word, she’s got some crooked reason up her sleeve or she wouldn’t be so darned worried over a little, dinky overshoe! Brock: Oh, I’ll admit it’s a very queer affair, bill 1 intend to wait till I hear the girl’s story before I form any conclusions. (At this moment the street door opens and Marion Ellsworth enters the office. She is a slender girl of medium height and has a fresh, pretty face. She walks directly over to the desk.) Marion (To Brock) : Are you the officer of this station? Brock: Yes, miss. Now what can I do for you? B I T T E R R O O T 189 Marion: Well, you see, sir. I’ve lost an overshoe, and 1 simply must find it. I was told al Union station to come here and inquire about it. ('Bob closely scrutinizes the girl.) Brock : Well, this is no lost and found department. Marion: 1 know, sir, but 1 thought you might be able to help me locate it. Bob (Pacing up and down the room): Darned unusual, 1 calls it! Darned unusual! (Finally, he goes over to the bench on the right, puts one foot on the bench, and supports his head with his arm, which, in turn, is supported by his knee. He is thinking.) Brock: Well, I’ll see what I can do for you. To begin with, what is your name? Marion : Marion Ellsworth. (Brock writes name on a pad of paper.) Brock: Have you put an ad in the paper yet? Marion: No. I haven’t. I must have the overshoe right away and results would be too slow if I advertised for it. (Bob, on hearing this, gives a knowing look, nods his head, and gins a grunt of satisfaction.) Brock: I see. Now suppose you tell me .just what the overshoe looked like. Marion : It was brown—medium brown, with a zipper fastener and was practically new. Brock: Right or left foot? Marion: Left. And there was a mark on the underneath of the flap—a crescent with a bar through it. Brock : Size— Marion: Size four and one-half. (Bob glances down at her feet; then shifts his eyes upward till they reach her face where they linger for a moment as if studying the girl’s character.) Brock: Well, perhaps I’m a bit too inquisitive, but I can’t quite under- stand your motive. You could buy a good pair of overshoes for three or four dollars and you certainly don’t look as though it would break you up in business to spend that much. Marion: But, don’t you see, sir? I have to have this particular overshoe— another won’t do. Bob (Who has remained in the same position idl this time): Darned un- usual! (Turns around suddenly.) Pardon, Miss, but where’d you lose it? Marion (A bit irritated and ereited): Oh, I don’t know. If I did, I wouldn’t be here hunting for it now! Bob (Dumbfounded!})): Oh! (Turns around and resumes his former po- sition.) Brock: Now, where have you been this afternoon? Marion: 1 was out at the Penbrook Country Club. 140 T HE HI T T E H K O O T Brock: And where were you when you discovered the loss? Marion: I was in the taxi coming home. Brook: Well, I’ll see what I can do. You’ve notified the other stations, so they’ll be on the lookout for it, have you? Marion: Yes, I have. Bon (Turning around again): Say, miss, pardon me again, but where was you—say about one A. M. last night? Marion (Startled): But I don’t see— Bob: Where was you, I say? Marion: I’m sure I don’t see what you’re driving at! Bob: No? Well, will you kindly answer my question? Marion : Why, I was in bed, of course. Bob: You’d swear to that? Marion (Still puzzled): Certainly. But what has all this to do with my overshoe? Bob: Ilmm ! (Tunis around again.) Marion (To Brock) : Then you’ll set out to search for it right away ? 1 ’ll pay a generous reward if you find ;t before tonight. Brock: All right. We’ll try. Miss. Have you a telephone so we can call you in case it’s found? Marion : Yes, I’ll write my ’phone number and address here for you. (Takes a■ small piece of paper and a pencil from her purse and writes her ad dress, etc. She gives it to Brock.) Brock: I’ll call you just as soon as we get any information concerning it. Marian: Thank you. And do try hard, won’t you? (Exits.) Brock: Well, what do you think about that? Bob: Darned unusual. Don’t know what to think. Brock: I hardly see how you can connect her with the robbery, though. Bob: Well, mebbe my theory was wrong. She did seem surprised when I questioned her as to where she was last night. Brock: And so ready to swear to it, too. Bob: There was something crooked about her, though. Don’t know just what it was—mebbe the shape of her eyebrows, but I’m sure she had some shady reason else she woulda come right out and told you why sin had to have that particular overshoe and how she happened to lose it. Brock: It’s beyond me! Guess I’d better go in the other room and broadcast the description and see about setting up a search for it. (Exits through door at left.) Bon (Pacing up and down floor): Guess she could hardly have committed the robbery—let’s see—could she be a dope seller? Well, why not? There’s T II B R I T E R K O O T 141 cases ’most every day where someone’s caught smuggling dope around in some unheard of place. By gosh! 1 bet that’s it! (Brock returns.) Brock: Well, I’ve broadcast the description and told everybody to ho on the lookout. Bob: Yeh? Y’ know, the more I think about it the more convinced I am that this dame’s a crook! Brock: Well, it’s certainly queer. Bob : And while you were in there broadcast in ’ I got a bright idea. Brock (Indifferently) : A Mother ? Bob: Yes, and I think there’s something in this one. B rock : Well, shoot it! Bob: Well, you’ve probably been readin’ in the papers lately about all these people that’ve been using dope? Brock: Yes. Bob: And you know they haven’t been able to find out where they’ve been getting it. Well, I got it figured out that this girl might be the one who’s been selling it to them. Brock: And what makes you think that? Bob: In the first place any dope seller knows that if he’s caught with the goods, it’s jes’ too bad for him; so they invent all sorts of clever places to hide the stuff in. Now, why couldn’t this dame have hid it in the overshoe? Brock: It’s not impossible, but— Bob: And in the second place she seems in such a rush about it. If she’s a dope seller, that’s only logic. The stuff’s valuable and besides customers can’t wait for that—they’d go crazy if they had to do without it. Brock: That’s all very true, but it still doesn’t spell anything against this girl. Bob: My gosh! Can’t you see nothin’? (Paces up and down a moment; then, apparently having made a decision, he goes out the door at the left.) Brock: Robber! Dope seller! I wonder what he’ll invent next. (At this moment the street door opens and Richards, a tall, broad-shoul- dered man, enters.) Richards: Hello, Jim. How’s she going? Brock: Oh, hello, Ed. What’s up? Richards: Got a little more dope on that Mallory case. We’ve been in- vestigating outside and we found some footprints on top of the garage. They were made by a woman—too small for a man. Brock: On top of the garage, you say? Then that proves the theory that entrance was made by first climbing to the top of the garage and then jumping to the window ledge of the room where the diamond was kept, doesn’t it? 142 T II E HTT E It It O O T Richards: Yes, that seems to prove il beyond doubt. But what puzzles me is that a woman would attempt such a daring feat. Brock: Yes, il is strange. And you’re sure the foot prints are those of a woman ? Richards: Yes, we measured them and found that they tallied almost exactly to the measurements of a woman’s size, four and one-half. Brock (Startled): Four and a half? Richards: Yes, and that seems to prove further that the woman is prob- ably not very large. Brock (Repeating half aloud): Four and a half! Four and a half! By gosh, maybe there was something in Bob’s theory after all! Richards: What do you mean? I don’t understand. Brock: Well, just about fifteen minutes ago there was a girl here who was looking for an overshoe she’d lost. She was extremely anxious to get it back again, but didn’t say why. In fact she avoided telling any more about it than she could help. Well, anyhow, to put it into a few words, she said the overshoe was size four and a half. Richards: And you think— Brock: 1 hadn’t really thought seriously about it before, but as soon as we heard about it, Bob began to make all sorts of stories about her and the first was that she was responsible for tin Mallory robbery. But you know Bob. lie’s always getting some darned fool notion and thinking lie’s solved the mystery. Richards: And you didn’t put any faith in this solution of his? Brock: No. You see we had so little evidence, but now that you’ve found the foot prints to be a size four and a half—well, 1 hate to jump at conclusions, but it seems as though for once there might be a little something in Bob’s idea. Richards: Yes, it looks rather that way. What did this girl look like? Brock: Well, she was medium in height, quite slender, and had brown hair and eyes. Richards: How old do you think? Brock: Oh, quite young. Not over twenty or twenty-one, I should say. (Bob enters reading a large record book as he comes.) Bob (Looking up): Oh, hello, Richards. Richards: Ilello, Bob. Bob: Say, I’ve been looking through this book at the descriptions of criminals, and look at what I found here, ((tires book to Brock and points to place.) Brock (Beading): “Neva Bong, associate of the infamous ‘Spike’ New- ton. This young lady is of medium height, about five feet three inches, is slender, has brown, wavy hair and is said to be about twenty years of age. She has accompanied ‘Spike’ on several of his robberies and is now wanted, along with him for a number of crimes.” T II B B I T T E R R O O T 143 Bob: Well, what do you think of that? If that isn’t the dame that was here a little hit ago. I’ll eat my socks! Brock: It is a good description of her all right and with what Richards just said about the foot prints— Bob: What was that? Richards: We’ve investigated further and found a woman’s foot prints on top of the Mallory garage. We measured them and they tallied with the measurements of a size four and one-half. Bob (Greatly pleased): Aha! What did I tell you? Does anyone doubt my theory now? Brock: It does look like we’re on the right track all right. Bob: On the right track! Why, we’ve practically got the girl arrested! I knew all the time there was something crooked about her. Richards: Don’t be so hasty, Bob. You know we haven’t any proofs. Bob: Why, man alive, what more do you want? If that gal isn’t guilty, I ’ll hang myself on the next tree I come to! Richards: I do think we’d better investigate this, though. If the over- shoe turns up, ’phone for me right away. We’ll take il over and compare it with the foot prints. Brock : All right. Richards: And I’ll see the chief about it and find out if he wants to question the girl or not. Well, I’ll be on my way now. Don’t forget to call me should the overshoe turn up. Good-bye. Brock and Bob: Good-bye. Bob (SUting in chair and relaxing): 1 call that a darned good piece of work, I do! (Street door opens and Marion appears.) Marion: Hello. I must have left my gloves here. Have you seen any- thing of them ? Brock (Looking around): Oh, here they are. You must have left them on my desk when you gave me your address. Marion: Yes, I guess I did. Oh, dear! I’m so forgetful. Brock: -Just a little excited, I should say. Marion: You haven’t found my overshoe yet? Brock: No, miss. I broadcast for it, though, and if it’s to be found at all, it ought to be showing up pretty soon. Marion (Somewhat agitated): Oh, dear! I hope so! Bob ( Who has been surveying her -viciously): You said you was in bed last night at one o’clock! You wasn’t either, was you? Marion (Indignantly): Do you think I deliberately lied to you? Bob: I don’t think it, I know it! 144 T II B B I T T E II It O O T Marion : Indeed! And will you kindly tell me what business it is of yours where I was? Bob: Say, do you ree-lize you’re talkin’ to a policeman? (Shows star.) 1 won’t stand fer that kinda talk, I won’t. Marion: I’m sorry. 1 forgot myself, but can’t you give me just a little light on the subject? I don’t understand. Bob: Oh, yes you do! Where’s your friend, “Spike”? Marion (Becoming very excited): “Spike”? Who on earth do you mean? Bob: “Spike” Newton. You knew who I meant! Marion: “Spike” Newton? Not—not—the criminal? Bob : Exactly. Marion: But I’ve never even seen him! I don’t know what he looks like! Bob: I know better than that. You was with him last night, wasn’t you? Marion (Very agitated): Oh—sir—don’t you believe me? Bob: No. I— Brock: -Just a minute, Bob. I’m afraid you’re getting her too excited. Now let’s try to get at the bottom of this. Where were you yesterday evening, Miss? Marion: I was at the theater. Brock: And what time did you get home? Marion : At ten-thirty. Brock: And you didn’t go out after that? Marion : No, I studied a little and then went to bed. Brock: You’re sure of that? Marion: Absolutely. But, please, won’t you tell me what you’re driving at! Bob (Who has been paving up and down): Supposing you tell us just why you have to have that overshoe first. Marion: Oh, but—I can’t do that. Bob: No. YTou’d give yourself away, wouldn’t you? Marion: Give myself away? What on earth do you think I’ve done? 1 came here to ask about an overshoe I lost, thinking you’ll help me out, and you start asking me all these unheard of questions! Surely I have a right to know what you’re after! Bob: Yrou know just as well as wre do. I’ll admit you’re doing a pretty good job of playing the innocent, but let me tell you, you’re not foolin’ me! Marion: Why—I wasn’t trying to! I haven’t done anything to be ashamed of! Bob: No? Well, tell us what you want with the overshoe, then. Marion . But I’ve said I can’t tell you that. Brock: But if you have done nothing to be ashamed of— Marion: You don’t understand. I— T II E B I T T E R II O O T 14. , Bob: Say, miss, you might as well confess. We’ve got the goods on you! Marion: Confess? Why—confess what? Bob: To that diamond robbery. That’s where you was last night. Marion (Nearly exhausted): Oh!—you don’t think I’d do a thing like that? (Sinks into the chair.) (The door opens and Alice Dunstan comes in.) Alice: Hello, Uncle Jim. I’ve brought you that book you wanted. (Puts hook on his desk; then turns and sees Marion.) Why, Marion! What are you doing here? Brock: You know this girl, Alice? Alice: Yes. She’s a pledge of the sorority 1 belong to. Marion: Oh, Alice! I’m so glad you’ve come. I lost that overshoe and they’re accusing me of all sorts of unheard things! Won’t you explain it all to them? Alice: Surely. We sent Marion down to the cloak room of the Penbrook Country Club and made her hunt through all the overshoes till she found a brown one with a special mark—a crescent with a bar through it—on the flap. Then she was to carry it without wrapping it up, to the sorority house. Brock: And what was the idea of it all? •Alice: Oh, we always make our pledges do foolish, embarrassing things like that during initiation week. Brock (To Marion): But why couldn’t you tell us about it? Marion : I gave my word of honor not to. Brock: Well—er—er—I hardly know what to say. Can you ever forgive us? We certainly were mistaken about your motive. Marion: Oh, surely. I admit it was a queer situation. Alice: We’d better be going, Marion. The girls have a lot more things lined up for you to do. Bob: I’m sorry, miss—forgive me, won’t you? Marion: Oh, that’s all right. (Smiles at him.) Well, good-bye. (Marion and Alice leave.) Bob: Ilmm! Darned unusual, I calls it! CURTAIN T H B B I T T B R BOO T Dear happy days of magic! Careless Youth Beholds thee dancing with soft footsteps by, Giving to thee not even a passing sigh, Unconscious of thy worth and gentle truth, Yet, thou art sign-posts on our road of truth, Our bow of promise in the springtime sky At whose bright end the pot of gold does lie For which we seek with trembling hands, in sooth. But all too soon we reach the postern gate, Where we may not go back, though we may turn And gaze with longing eyes; while lingering feet Lag forth unwillingly to wrest with Fate, And eager heart-throbs pause and sadly yearn For thy familiar paths so safe and sweet.
