From her description Cumnock got upon the track of Thayer's niece and her husband, found the proof of their guilt, had them watched until the News-Record came out with the "beat," then turned them over to the police. Also, Cumnock was keen at taking hints of good news-items concealed in obscure paragraphs. The Morris Prison scandal was an example of this.
To-day, however, though the house-prefects expressed varying degrees of excitement at the news that Tyldesley had made a century against Gloucestershire, and that a butter famine was expected in the United States, these world-shaking news-items seemed to leave Adair cold. He champed his bread and marmalade with an abstracted air. He was wondering what to do in this matter of Stone and Robinson.
With a strong hand she had shaken the cat out of the bag, and exhibited it plainly to all whom it might concern. There was a curious absence of construction about the letter. Most authors of sensational matter nurse their bomb-shell, lead up to it, and display it to the best advantage. Marjory dropped hers into the body of the letter, and let it take its chance with the other news-items.
He answered, quite cavalierly, that it was one of the news-items of the day, and he had to keep up with the time; but he would be most happy to publish any correction I might make, as though I could deny such a malicious piece of scandal affecting myself. On the 12th of November I had occasion to write to General Halleck, and I have a copy of his letter in answer: ST. Louis, December 18, 1881.
And a great accession Howard found him. He had sound judgment as to the value of news-items what demanded first page, the "show-window," because it would interest everybody; what was worth a line on an inside page because it would interest only a few thousands.
But that is the idea. That is the great conspiracy. Certain news-items are regaled to me, certain news-items are suppressed, in order that I may not think amiss. Certain books are refused me, certain plays must not be produced, certain fashions are taboo, certain things may not be done, lest, by any chance, I should form the habit of thinking, lest I should step out of the throng and be myself.

Instead of going to college Edison started a newspaper a kind of amateur affair, in which he himself wrote editorials, news-items and advertisements this when he was seventeen years old. The best way to become a skilled writer is to write; and if there is a better way to learn than by doing, the world has not yet discovered it.
I am scared out of my wits at thought of Clarke's possible revenge upon her! Besides, by going with her you will escape some of the notoriety about to thrust upon you." He was plainly vacillating. "Think of the fat news-items my flight will add to the stew." Kate shuddered. "Oh, I know! I hope you don't blame me. It's true, I am to blame. I did insist on your going to see her."
