| Synopsis |
The City Editor of the "Daily Leader" knew that the city's government was not ruled on a very straight line. He assigned a few reporters to get the evidence of corruption and conspiracy but after supreme and persevering effort their only success was failure. The city editor swore when the reporters admitted their defeat proving thereby his right to be city editor and assigned the girl reporter Miss Leonard to the task. Ability was not the greatest newspaper asset Miss Leonard possessed though that was more than considerable. It was her charm the sweet appealing charm of a "feminine" girl that cannot be analyzed or denoted but that just merely simply creeps into you and influences you with a dominant impulse to confide in her. That was the reason Miss Leonard was being talked about in newspaper circles that and of course her intrinsic native ability. Before very long she got a clue. The clue was a card inviting the politicians at City Hall to attend a meeting "At the Sign of the Thumb-print" with a thumb-print the only signature. The idea was to discover whose particular thumb-print it was. Small thing when you have the detective genius every trained reporter possesses. She prepared several copies of a bogus bill and paraded around the political circle asking each one of the poor suspects whether he knew anything about it. As each read it he impressed his thumb-print. The thumb-print of the boss coincided with the card and she had his number. She also had his house number and forthwith went there. How she obtained access to the house how she pretended to the butler that she was a book-agent how she suddenly became faint and asked for a glass of water and how she dashed into the clothes closet when the butler went to get it; how he returns dumbfounded at her absence how she obtained the story of the illegal plot of the politicians and attained her triumph all succeed each other in rapid and thrilling sequence. Then the blow! The editor-in-chief destroyed the story for the reason that only editors-in-chief and corrupt politicians know and a little of her faith in truth and right. The girl's heart broke a little and ever after the word "man" lost a great deal of its importance.
