Mary Sperry and Misses Miriam and Julie Michelson were a permanent office force and Miss Schlingheyde, Mrs. Chapin and Miss Sullivan carried much of the work. The Woman Suffrage Party gave the use of its headquarters in the Lick building. The State association and the clubs of San Francisco contributed about $1,500.
The butler wheeled out Mrs. Dane's chair, as her companion did not dine with her on club nights, and led us to the drawing-room doors. There Sperry threw them, open, and we saw that the room had been completely metamorphosed. Mrs. Dane's drawing-room is generally rather painful.
She turned to me, I daresay because I represented what to her was her supreme dread, the law. "My dear girl," I said, "we are not going to do anything. The Neighborhood Club has been doing a little amateur research work, which is now over. That is all." Sperry took them away in his car, but he turned on the door-step, "Wait downstairs for me," he said, "I am coming back."
If there remained room for us to compare the judicious proceedings in use here with those slight, rigorous and summary methods which are practised in other countries, the value of these blessings which we enjoy would be considerably enhanced. The Life of WILLIAM SPERRY, Footpad and Highwayman
A ride of three miles over a good road through a beautiful forest brings you to the foot of Lake McDonald, and in one hour more by boat you are at the hotels at the head of the lake. At that point you are within three hours' horse-back ride of Sperry Glacier and the marvelous panorama that unrolls before you from the top of Lincoln Peak.
At the door of the restaurant, Spenser said: "Susan, you and Miss Francklyn take a taxicab. She'll drop you at our place on her way home. Fitz and Sperry and I want one more drink." "Not for me," said Sperry savagely, with a scowl at Constance. But Fitzalan, whose arm Susan had seen Rod press, remained silent.
Ellingham was anxious to get it," she finished. "He had taken Mr. Johnson's overcoat by mistake one night when you were both in the house, and the notes were in it. He saw that the stick was important." "Clara," Sperry asked, "did you see, the day you advertised for your bag, another similar advertisement?" "I saw it. It frightened me." "You have no idea who inserted it?" "None whatever."
"I was wondering:... Suppose you were to tell your people that there's a young fellow here who'd like to give this store a boom.... Say he wants a little credit because because Mr. Graham won't let him put in any cash " "Not a bit of use," Sperry negatived. "I would, myself, but the house no." "But suppose I pay this bill " "Pay it? You really mean that?" "Certainly I mean it."
Although the Wells house was brilliantly lighted when we reached it, we had difficulty in gaining admission. Whoever were in the house were up-stairs, and the bell evidently rang in the deserted kitchen or a neighboring pantry. "We might try the servants' entrance," Sperry said. Then he laughed mirthlessly. "We might see," he said, "if there's a key on the nail among the vines."
Every morning Richard Sperry himself, or one of his boys, carried food, in dishes covered with a cloth, into the woods on the steep side of West Rock about a mile from the house, and left it there on a stump. Every evening he, or one of his sons, went for the empty bowls and brought them home.
