• "Tom, I want you to give me a list of your rich bachelor friends,” announced Bonnie Brewster at the breakfast table. “I don’t know any rich bachelors, Sis,” was the discouraging response. “Every man I know la cutting down expenses, living in a furnished room instead of an apartment, and all that sort of thing. Anyway, what do you want of a list of rich bachelors? Personally I think it a most unmaldehly demand.” "Don’t be silly, Tom,” suggested Bonnie. "It’s too early in the morning. I am going to ask all of them to give me a donation toward my fair for the crippled children, and that reminds me that you can write me a nice fat check before you go to the office this morning. Never mind the list. I can get it myself out of your address book.” “I’ll give you the check,” agreed Tom, "but if you don’t mind I’d rather you’d keep out of my desk. Honestly, Sis, the only man I know Mint has a cent Is Charlie Warren. You’ll make a record if you get anything out of him, but you can try your charms on him If you like. His offices are in the Bullard building. I’ll leave the

"BUT A CHECK WOULD DO,” SUGGOESTED BONNIE.” ,

check on the library table. So long.* And, picking up his morning paper, he was off.

As soon as the front door closed Bonnie slipped Into the library to see If the promised check was in sight. She picked up the little blue slip of paper and found that Tom had done nobly by giving her *SO toward the cause of her crippled children. “I wonder if this mean Charlie Warren will do as well,’’ mused Bonnie as she was dressing her hair preparatory to making a round of appeals for her charity. An hour later she stood face to face with a small but very officious office boy. "Mr. Warren.don’t see no ladles in office hours ’cept by appointment,” he informed her. “Well, suppose you announce me,” suggested Bonnie, with dignity. “Ain’t you got no card?” persisted the boy. Bonnie gave him the small white card bearing her name, and reluctantly the boy disappeared Into the Inner office. He returned In a moment, his face wreathed in a broad grin. “He says he’ll see you, miss. Come right in.” Bonnie meekly followed her escort and immediately found herself in the presence of a very tall, gaunt man. His frame was powerful and his features strong In the extreme, yet his graciousness of manner at once made her feel at ease. "You know my brother, Tom Brewster,” she began. "Well. I should say I «Ud know him! Sit down, won’t you, and tell me what I can do for you? Tom isn’t in trouble, Is he?” he added, with some concern. “Oh, dear, no,” assured Bonnie, “and neither am I, but—but”— Somehow it was not so easy as she had thought It would be, this begging money. Charlie Warren, the most promising of young lawyers, looked his companion ov« very closely. He decided that the picture was good to look upon and he could wait for the explanation without finding time hanging heavily, either. “You see, I am begging money for some poor children, and Tom—that is, P’— stammered Bonnie. “Ob, I see perfectly F’ Warren helped out “You want me to give you a subscription. But you’ve struck me just the wrong day,” he continued. “I haven't any money about me to speak of at all.” “But a check would dq,” Suggested Bonnie. Warren wheeled about in his revolving chair and for an instant looked out of the window. Involuntarily his band reached out toward his cheek book, but he did not pick It up. “Well, you see—yes. well, I suppose I might as well be frank wjth you—my account b * little low at present.

but n yon could come Tn again, why, I’ll give it to you gladly." Bonnie rose to go, and Warren rose with her. “I was just going out to luncheon when you came in,”, tie said as he helped her adjust her furs. "Let’s telephone to Tom, and all three of us can go for a bite.’’ And when Bonnie did not remonstrate Tom was called, up and immediately accepted. At/the end of a very elaborate luncheon Warren paid the bill from a very large roll of greenbacks. Bonnie gasped. "Why, Mr. Warren, you told me that you had no money about you, and look at that roll.” she said as she pointed an Incriminating finger at the money. "Oh, this money belongs to a friend of mine. I’m Just carrying it about for him, you see,” he explained rather lamely, "But, honestly, if you come in this day week I’ll give you my donation.”

Just one week later Bonnie again went to the office, making her call In the afternoon, and Warren handed her* a cheek for a hundred dollars. “Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Warren!” cried Bonnie. “And I’m going to run right along, because I know you’re so busy.” “But I was just going your way,” said Warren as be began to put on his overcoat. “Why, how did you know which way I was going?’ demanded Bonnie. “It doesn’t matter which way—that’s tire way I’m going,” laughed Warren. “Tom has asked me up to dinner tonight, so I am going to cut the office early and tag along after you for the rest of the afternoon,” he announced. Which he did all that afternoon. Immediately after dinner Tom remembered that he had an engagement and began his apologies to Warren. “So glad, Tom, that you have got a date, and for love of heaven get out,” said Warren—“the sooner the better," he added. At the end of a long yet to him short and happy evening Warren’ said good night to Bonnie. “Can’t I do something else for your fair?” he asked as he opened the door to leave. “Yes. indeed,” replied Bonnie, with enthusiasm. “You can come to it and spend a heap more money If you will. The fair Is Tuesday night.” But the very next evening Warren remembered that he had left his cane at the Brewster home, and It took him just three hours to recover it. And on Sunday morning he decided that It was high time he went to church again, and when church was out he waited for Bonnie and drove her home In his motor. On Monday he suggested going to the theater as a slight diversion from the fair.

Tuesday evening was almost past, and Bonnie's eyes were tired from straining around the room trying to locate Charlie Warren. A great deal of money had been taken in, yet to Bonnie the affair seemed to lack something. It was nearly 10 o’clock when Warren appeared. “I’m late, Miss Bonnie, I know, but I’ve always been told to come late to these affairs and get the bargains.” About fifteen girls pounced on him to buy chances on sofa pillows, pipe racks and the forty other things that no man ever uses. He scattered bills until his pocketbook was literally empty, and he showed Bonnie the flapping purse.

“There's nothing to do now but to put myself up at auction,” he suggested. “Oh, what fun!” cried Bonnie Immediately. “Just think how handy it would be to have a lawyer that you didn't have to pay, and you’re such a big, strong man. You could hang pictures and do a lot of things about the house. Here, Tom,” she called as her brother passed them. “Mr. Warren Is offered at auction. How much do you bld?’ “Not a plugged copper," answered Tom. “I wouldn't take him as a gift.” "That’s rather discouraging, Isn’t It?” asked Warren. “But the fair seems to be practically over, and couldn’t I take you home, Miss Bonnie? Tom seems pretty well occupied with Miss Ellston.” He put her In the tonneau of his big touring car, and the chauffeur drove slowly toward home In the crisp moonlight. "Miss Brewster Bonnie,” Warren began In a low tone, “I didn’t seem to go very well as a chance proposition at the fair tonight, but I wonder If you would accept me as a gift?” "You mean”— "That I love you,” he interrupted. “Pre loved you ever since that morning that you came to see me and I lied to you and said I had no money about me Just to make you come again. And now I want you with me always. Could you give yourself to me? Would you be willing to take that chance on happiness?’ "Yes, Til take that chance on happiness,” she almost whispered, "because”— why?’ "Because I love you, too,’’ she answered quite close to the sleeve of his fur coat.
