"If we don't hear from him in five minutes we'll miss the edition." The five minutes passed, and no word came from Harvey Newton. The building shook as the giant press started, and Mr. Emberg, shutting up his watch with a snap, remarked: "Too late! Well, maybe he'll catch him for the second." It is often the case that only part of a story gets in the first edition of a paper.
Emberg, eagerly. "I've got everything, I guess. I've got all but the main facts, anyhow. I don't know whether Potter was with them or not. I didn't think it was of any importance." "Importance!" exclaimed the city editor. Then he bethought him of Hogan's character, and knew it was useless to speak. "Everything but the facts the most important fact of all," Mr. Emberg murmured.
Emberg knew he was right, and he was planning for a big disclosure when some of his reporters could find Hamden Potter. For a time the Sullivan matter was dropped, and Larry found his time busily occupied in a varied lot of assignments.
Potter's connection with the subway interests might throw some light on the reason for the declaration of Sullivan for Reilly. In all this there was no direct statement made, but the inferences were almost as strong as though the paper had come out boldly and stated as facts what Mr. Emberg believed to be true, but which he dared not assert boldly.
"Why, it's a postal, from an old German, I take it, who says he has invented a flying machine." "I guess he's about the only one in ten thousand who has been successful then," answered Larry, smiling. "Oh, I don't suppose it amounts to anything," went on Mr. Emberg. "But it may make a good story to let the old gentleman talk, and describe the machine.
Emberg of a reporter in the far corner of the room. "No, I've got that political story to write yet." "That's so. I can't spare you. How about you, Larry?" "I'm up," was the answer, which is the newspaper man's way of saying his particular task is finished. "Here, then, jump out on this," and the city editor handed the telegram to a tall, good-looking youth, who arose from his desk near a window.
Potter is up to some game, and so is Sullivan. Come here, Larry." Mr. Emberg closely questioned the young reporter as to every detail of his interview with Sullivan. "I'm going to write something myself," the city editor announced. "We've got to have more of this story.
Thus musing Larry looked for a telephone station and soon the story of Retto's accident was being sent over the wire to the city editor. "This will make a fine lead for our Potter story," said Larry, as he finished telling of the accident. "I've got another plan," said Mr. Emberg. "What is it?" "Do you think anyone else knows who Retto is? I mean anyone on the pier who saw him hurt?"
Emberg when he got back to the Leader office the next day, for, not only had the young reporter secured a fine "scoop," but he had sent in an exceptionally good story of the wreck. "Larry, you did better than I thought you would.
Larry reported to Mr. Emberg the next morning all the details of the visit to the strange house. "If some East Indian chooses to hide himself it can't make much difference to us," said the city editor. "I judge him to be a native from that name. I've got another story for you to go out on. It's about " At that instant the telephone on Mr. Emberg's desk rang insistently.
