What did the scoundrel want with her?" "I don't know. She's a princess or something." Mr. Straker jumped. "She is!" he cried. "Lord, why didn't you tell me?" "I'm trying to." "Advertising!" he shouted joyfully. "Jimminy Christmas! We'll make it up all this time lost. Princess who? Where from? I guess you do look like her, after all. I see it all now head-lines! 'Strange confusion of identity!
"I'm a newspaper man, and your name's worth head-lines in every paper in the country. And I'll see that it gets there, too. It will go on the wires to-night unless " "Unless what?" "Unless you come across with " "Oh, that's it, is it!" said Dyckman. "Just a little old-fashioned blackmail!" He had tasted the joys of violence in his bout with Cheever, and now he had recourse to it again.
Dunster turned to another part of the paper and pointed to the great black head-lines. "Seems a queer thing for a young fellow like you to be worrying about games," he remarked. "I haven't been in this country more than a few hours, but I expected to find all the young men getting ready." "Getting ready for what?" "Why, to fight, of course," Mr. Dunster replied.
The rumors produced much excitement everywhere, and especially in the south part of Geauga; and the impression was deepened and confirmed by an article in the Geauga Gazette, issued soon after Myers was committed.

From the center of the page stared a picture of John Dumont its expression peculiarly arrogant and sinister. She read the head-lines only, then turned from the table. But on the drive up-town she stopped the carriage at the Savoy and sent the footman to the news-stand to get the paper. She read the article through parts of it several times.
In three of them it was estimated that two hundred thousand people had left Manhattan. It would have been physically impossible for the transportation lines to have carried a thousand more. They had reached their capacity; the spigot was wide open. Percy Darrow showed Jack the head-lines to this effect. "Cheerful thought," he suggested.
Each day the quest had grown more eager, and as the hour for going to press approached I would even become feverish in my intense desire to send the paper out with a breezy, newsy aspect, and would be elated if, at the last moment, material was flashed in that would warrant startling head-lines, and correspondingly depressed if the weary old world had a few hours of quiet and peace.
Beside that window, covered in flowered chintz, a sewing-machine that could collapse to a table; a golden-oak sideboard laid out in pressed glassware. A homely simplicity here saved by chance or chintz from the simply homely. Mr. Harry Ross drew up immediately beside the spread table, jerking open his newspaper and, head thrown back, read slantingly down at the head-lines. "Hello, pop!"
