Hughie was a handsome young man. He had no job. So, his financial condition was very poor. He wanted to marry Laura Merton. Her Colonelfather asked Hughie to earn ten thousand pounds of his own to marry Laura. Hughie was unable to fulfil the condition of the Colonel. So, he was upset.
Once, Hughie visited his friend Trevor’s studio. He saw a beggar-model there. The old man had a wizened face. He looked very miserable. His tattered cloak, patched and cobbled boots made him a typical beggar. Hughie took pity on him and gave him a sovereign.
Actually, the beggar model was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe. After knowing the truth, Hughie felt very sorry for his act. But, the Baron, having learnt everything about Hughie, sent a cheque for ten thousand pounds as a reward. Thus, the charitable act of Hughie was rewarded. Really the millionaire model was a model millionaire.
