CHAPTER XIII
IN WHICH SOME SHOES ARE MISSING
"What do you think of it?"
"Who took them?"
"We can't go downstairs in our bare feet."
Such were some of the remarks made, as the lads of dormitories Nos. 11 and 12 looked at each other. The closets had been searched thoroughly but without success.
"See here, if anybody in these rooms hid those shoes, I want to know it!" demanded Sam, gazing around sharply.
"I hardly think a fellow would hide his own shoes, too," answered Luke.
"He might,—just to hide his own guilt."
"I believe this is the work of some outsider," declared Dave. "Most likely Nat Poole and his crowd."
"By Jove, Dave, I believe you are right!" exclaimed Phil. "It would be just like them to do it, if they got the chance."
"Did you say Nat Poole?" queried Shadow, scratching his head thoughtfully.
