58 THE TECH REVIEW 1030 Finally, when twelve big booms of the clock announced the hour of midnight, we went to bed where sleep soon shut out all thoughts of reminiscence. So farewell to you my classmates; on life’s broad way may success ever crown your efforts, and may the memories of dear old Tech never cease to spur you onward. Au revoir. A Momentary Mystery Kenneth L. Godfrey, '30. On a certain Saturday in August Detec- tive Snoop decided to take a walk in the country and clear the cobwebs from what he fondly called his brain. Accordingly, he pushed and jostled his way through the milling noonday throng to the railway station, where he soon became entrained for a certain country town which lay be- tween two great cities. As a friend had told him that there they took in the side- walks at nine o’clock, he thought that it would be sufficiently peaceful for relaxa- tion. After arriving at the station, he started up a small road, bound for nowhere in particular. Soon the road entered some woods, and after following it for about five minutes Detective Snoop came upon a house. It was set well back from the road. The few blinds that still hung on the house showed the devastating effects of time and weather. Some bricks from the tottering chimney lay on the sagging roof. From between cracks in the rotting boards of the sunken veranda grew grass and weeds. The trees, which grew closely around the house, so filtered the sunlight that the scene was in a state of perpetual shadow, while two bare windows in the front of the house seemed to look forth with a sad and dis- consolate air, the whole giving the place a singularly gloomy and melancholy appear- ance. As Detective Snoop approached the house he unconsciously ceased whistling and leaned up against the decaying fence. As he did so, a shriek from one of the upper windows rent the air. “Help! Murder!” smote upon his ears. Then silence reigned. Detective Snoop consulted his correspond- ence school notebook and then, opening the gate which groaned protestingly, he crept up the overgrown path to the house. An ominous silence hung like a pall over the place. The detective cautiously opened the front door and peered into the gloom within. The room was empty. He slipped inside the room and was peering about, when a heavy step crossed the floor over his head. A shriek, a muttered curse, the sound of a falling body, and then deathly quiet. From between a crack in the spread- ing boards over his head, something red and sticky fell on the hand of Detective Snoop. “Blood!” he muttered. Drawing his trusty revolver, he leaped up the stairs and flung open the door of the room from whence had issued the sounds. What a sight met his eyes! There, on an old chair, sat a man munching a sandwich. In front of him on the floor lay an overturned table and a broken bottle of catsup, while in a corner, with a morsel of bread still in his claws and a handkerchief wrapped around his beak, fluttered a parrot.
