     HUGHIE ERSKINE WAS A CHARMING YOUNG MAN WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH A NICE GIRL CALLED LAURA MERTON. LAURA'S FATHER MADE IT CLEAR TO HUGHIE THAT HE WOULD NOT LET HIS DAUGHTER MARRY HIM UNTIL HUGHIE HAD GOTTEN TEN THOUSAND POUNDS.
     ONE DAY, HUGHIE WENT TO SE HIS ARTIST FRIEND, ALAN TREVOR IN HIS STUDIO. THERE, HE FOUND HIS FRIEND PAINTING A BEGGAR, WHO WAS A WIZENED OLD MAN IN RAGS. HUGHIE FELT SO SORRY FOR THE POOR MODEL THAT HE GAVE HIM THE ONLY POUND HE HAD.
     THE OLD MODEL WAS ACTUALLY A MILLIONAIRE. WHEN HE HEARD ALL ABOUT HUGHIE AND LAURA, AND THEIR PROBLEM, HE MADE HIM OUT A CHEQUE FOR TEN THOUSAND POUNDS THE VERY NEXT DAY. THE COUPLE WERE HAPPILY MARRIED, AND THE "BEGGAR" ATTENDED THEIR WEDDING.
     THE STORY SHOWS THAT A RICH MAN IS NOT ONE WHO HAS, BUT ON WHO GIVES/A GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER/A KIND MAN IS SURE TO BE REWARDED.
