he loves and is the accepted suitor
or Cleo, daughter of a politician and
capitalist. The rich father has con-
siderable sway with members Of the
city council, and he is asking the
council for a railroad franchise " hich
will net him approximately $4,000
a year.
As Is customary. the council refers
the proposed franchise to the city
attorney for examination and inVesti-
CATION. At a glance the young at
torney sees that the granting "f the
franchise will merely further
scheme to defraud the city. While
he is considering the matter the Capi-
talist calls on him and tells him II
lie opposes the measure he must give
UP the idea of marrying Cleo.
He is put to the acid test of .l0n-
esty and proves himself to be Gcnu-
inc. He explains the graft features
of the measure to the council, and is
instrumental in defeating the grant
ing Of the franchise.
While he is contemplating what the
performance Of his duty has cost
him. a messenger arrives with a note
from the capitalist. The note reads:
Your acid-proof honesty cost me
$4,000. Your ring is returned. The
messenger who brings this has fun
legal authority to decide your future
relations with my daughter
The attorney requests the messen-
ger to be brought in. The messenger
is Cleo. the capitalist daughter.
