Chalmers has just earned $5, but will not risk it until he hears more about the matter. Tripp then confides that the story is about a young runaway girl from the country. He found her on the streets utterly bewildered, and she told him about venturing to New York to find one George Brown. She said she was about to marry a rich young farmer at home, but she couldn't forget George Brown, the lover who had gone to the city four years before, promising to come back. Tripp, therefore, had taken her to a boarding house and put her in hock, so to speak, until he could raise money to send her home, for she had arrived with but 25 cents, all of which she had spent on gumdrops. The chivalry of Chalmers is aroused, and he goes with Tripp to the boarding house, pays the girl's board bill and advances fare back home. The girl shows him a broken silver dime, the keepsake Brown had given her, the other half of which he had put on his watch chain. He urges her strongly to forget about Brown, who is doubtless a worthless fellow, and to marry the rich farmer. All of this good advice Tripp seconds. Chalmers now has his story, but as he turns from the ferry station he sees Tripp's shabby coat fall back and discerns on his cheap silver watch chain the other half of the dime. Tripp is the missing George Brown. The reporter realizes that this is a drama of human souls too sacred to be profaned, and brings into the office the report, "No story."
