On one occasion it was particularly important to learn what the Great Man meant to do in a certain financial emergency. One reporter reached his august presence pretending that he came with a secret message from a brother financier. He saw the great man, confessed that he had gained admission by a trick, begged for a few crumbs of news, but the great man simply glared at him, pressed a button, which summoned a large, very strong man, indicated the reporter and the bouncer did the rest. In the outer office were gathered a number of other reporters, and they trembled when the door of the private office opened and the large man emerged smiling and dragging the unhappy reporter after him. One of the reporters who did not wait to be thrown out was a pretty young girl, who wrote interestingly under the name of "Dorothy Dimples." She was engaged to the young man who had been evicted and she swore vengeance. She made it her business to keep an eye on the movements of the financier and when he took a boat trip to Albany, she was close on his trail. The financier, despite his gruffness in business, was a loving husband and a kind father. On the boat his attention was attracted to a pretty girl, who was weeping bitterly and he tried to comfort her. She told him how she was going back to boarding school. He talked soothingly to her and was delighted when he found that she dried her tears and told him confidingly that he was "a nice man just like Uncle Alfred." Then he told her his name and was pleased when he discovered that the little schoolgirl heard of him. It was a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Albany. The girl was such an interested listener, and he took delight in discussing financial affairs with her. Then a young man with a kodak came along the deck, and the girl insisted that they have their picture taken together, telling him that when she grew up it would give her such pleasure to show the picture to her little girls and tell them how she had met the Great Man, and how he had made her forget her lonesomeness. The Great Man was very happy, that is until the next day when he got the New York papers and saw the interview that "Dorothy Dimples" had landed with him. The "innocent school girl" did not know anything about financial affairs. Her story created a sensation in Wall Street. It was a blow to the financier and now he hates reporters more than ever. "Dorothy Dimples," however does not care; she landed "a scoop" which always brings joy to a good newspaper man or woman, and incidentally she avenged the man she loved.
