Professor Peter, on his part, is equally indignant because Danny wishes to consort with a member of the sex he so greatly despises. Lizzie is sent out by the editor of the Globe, to get an interview with Gates. She forces herself past the butler into Peter's room, but he makes short work of her and soon has her packing from the house. Danny, who is in his uncle's house when Lizzie comes in, has heard all that has transpired and makes a proposal to her, "If I can arrange that interview with my uncle for yon, may I marry Marion?" As her reputation as a newspaper woman is at stake, Lizzie consents to the proposition. Danny, who is a member of "The Sons of Mirth," arranges with the boys a little scheme for the subjugation of Peter. They get him to their rooms by inviting him to a suppositious scientific meeting there. Instead of such a meeting he finds himself apparently in a den of anarchists, who put a barrel of gunpowder beneath his chair and a lighted bomb beneath his nose. Lizzie comes in and offers to rescue him if he will grant her the desired interview, Peter is forced to consent, and, as a result, Marion is soon in Danny's arms. Lizzie receives a great surprise herself when, on her return to the Globe office, she receives a 'phone call from Peter, who proposes marriage to her and tells her not to publish the interview as he has entirely changed his mind about women.
