To him through the mail comes a letter from the gold-digger district of New York saying that the writer is a young woman who will if he advances to her $25000.00 guarantee to marry a millionaire and become an established member of society within two years. He tears up the letter with a weary smile but the nerve of the girl intrigues him and almost against his will he calls upon her at her one room apartment in a west side hotel. She proves to be a decent and respectable young woman apparently well born with great beauty and charm but she is so clear so definite so cold-blooded in her plan that it appeals to his sporting instinct to treat the matter like a bet on a race course. He turns over the money to her with the distinct understanding that she is in now way to give him any quid pro quo - and then you are started on a most amusing story the outcome of which is too good to tell. Suffice it to say that the girl makes good in the two years by methods open to anyone without either any great stroke of luck or any improbable action. And the quid pro quo - well - !
