How She Won Him
Some possess youth; others good looks, and still others have money, but Muriel Hanson has all three and she is engaged to be married to a fine young man named Arthur Lewis, whose father, supposed to be a wealthy man, dies penniless. The young man is obliged to start out in life as best he can. He does not wish to hold his intended to her betrothal to a poor man, writes her, releasing her to marry someone else if she chooses or wait until he has made a position for himself. Her uncle, in whom she confides, gives her an idea. She must write Arthur, telling him she has lost her fortune and must go to work as a poor girl to fight life's battle. Then the uncle addresses a letter to the young man, offering him a position with the firm of "Hanson, Hanson & Co." She assumes the stenographer's place in the office, and when Arthur calls in answer to the letter he is surprised to see Muriel working there. They are pleased to meet each other, and they renew their engagement on an equal basis. The uncle, her father's brother, employs Arthur Lewis at a good salary, and the young chap feels that the wedding day is not far off. Arthur has an awakening, however, which comes as a great and pleasant surprise and convinces him and her that theirs is a true, not a mercenary love, for the renewal of their troth was made when both were presumably poor. The surprise comes to him when he reads that his sweetheart is still an heiress and is made president of the firm of Hanson, Hanson & Co. by the will of her late father.
