Her funds are getting low when a contrast between the two bulletins in front of an employment agency impresses her. A male stenographer is offered fifteen dollars and a girl but three. With her small savings she purchases a complete outfit, and as her own brother, sets forth to obtain employment. Her trim appearance is in her favor, and she not only quickly obtains employment, but she wins the love of the girl stenographer, and is forced to disclose her secret to the girl. The bookkeeper is jealous of the stenographer's love for the new clerk, and seeks to obtain his dismissal by concealing some bills in the boy's pocket and reporting his loss. But the stenographer has overseen the action and sets matters straight. Desperate at discovery the bookkeeper aims a blow at his rival that fells Laura to the floor, and in her excitement the stenographer discloses the secret of her sex. Laura is sent to the hospital with concussion of the brain, but makes rapid recovery and returns to her position, now in the proper garments of her sex, to become a member of the firm through marriage with its head.
