'Nonsense!  It reflects the highest credit on your philanthropic

spirit; Hughie。  And don't run away。  Have another cigarette; and

you can talk about Laura as much as you like。'



However; Hughie wouldn't stop; but walked home; feeling very

unhappy; and leaving Alan Trevor in fits of laughter。



The next morning; as he was at breakfast; the servant brought him

up a card on which was written; 'Monsieur Gustave Naudin; DE LA

PART DE M。 le Baron Hausberg。'  'I suppose he has come for an

apology;' said Hughie to himself; and he told the servant to show

the visitor up。



An old gentleman with gold spectacles and grey hair came into the

room; and said; in a slight French accent; 'Have I the honour of

addressing Monsieur Erskine?'



Hughie bowed。



'I have come from Baron Hausberg;' he continued。  'The Baron … '



'I beg; sir; that you will offer him my sincerest apologies;'

stammered Hughie。



'The Baron;' said the old gentleman with a smile; 'has commissioned

me to bring you this letter'; and he extended a sealed envelope。



On the outside was written; 'A wedding present to Hugh Erskine and

Laura Merton; from an old beggar;' and inside was a cheque for

10;000 pounds。



When they were married Alan Trevor was the best man; and the Baron

made a speech at the wedding breakfast。



'Millionaire models;' remarked Alan; 'are rare enough; but; by

Jove; model millionaires are rarer still!'
