Meeting friend who has grown more than
middle aged Ia the railway service between
Ohio, Baltimore and New York, said to
him; ''Ispot Gould In about a. good shape

tOh, yes,n said my friend, whom have
known since about 1870, ''he is the most
powerful factor In the way Of speculation
this country has seen. But he does not do
anything while abroad However, they will
never lose their feas of him wherever he may

who tried to cheat him. and having failed,
turn round and bite at him, as the snake
gnawed the file. 1 win give you an Instance
OF that which happened under my own eye,
when no person was in the room bnt Gould
and myself. had been severely prejudiced
against him. and would not have dared to 60
and see him but for the intervention of a
very quiet chap by the name OF Guppy,
whom Gould found in the Erie railroad when
be went there. Guppy was a poor, broken
down, spine and chest crippled man, who
never had the least reason to suppose that
Gould would treat him like human being
but Gould found that under his diseased ex-
terror was bright and fiery mind, circum-
stantial in its correctness and completeness
and reliable as well as brave. 1t is strange
that these powerful mon In our finances are
often found out tho first by the humble and
broken down men, who are sensitive about
friendship and often get the most OF It.
