Enticing a man of mystery into the room by a feint of suicide, Peggy falls dearly in love with the young embezzler, who has just returned from five years in the big house.

...Soon as Dr. Norwood's discoveries became known, New Yorkers began hunting other images in marble. The Evening Post announced it would investigate, photograph, report. In the new hotel Waldorf-Astoria was found a silly-looking moose and a little gnome with long beard and tall hat. In the Empire State Building are two cadaverous Geisha girls and a Tammany Tiger, upside down...
