good for every cent that Mr.. Schwab has
on deposit.
At the time Of his going abroad Mr..
SChWab had under charter for the summer
the yacht Safd-El-BahT. which had been
built most luXuriOusly for the khedive of
Egypt He refused several offers of
large amounts from men who wanted TO
take over the charter and left the yacht
for the recreation of Mr.. Wren and his
family, indicating thereby the high esti-
mate he put on Mr.. Wren'S personality.
Yet Mr.. Wren comes down to his office
every day just though Mr. Schwab
were going to arrive a few minutes after
him and he sits in the ante-rOOm to Mr..
Schwab's room and looks over papers and
signs then just as though Mr.. SchWab
were in the other room ready TO approve
of each step as 1t is taken; and when
folks come in to talk about the affairs OF
the company he looks at them bengniy
through his glasses and talks to them
though he were deferring to the final
opinion of somebody in the next room. al
though he knows. and his visitor knows
that what he says goes and there Is no
one in the next room to be referred to;
Mr.. Wren is like Mr.. Schwab IN tnat ne
will not talk or write about himself But
he has a number of good friends who 90
not share his reticence. They are fond Of
pointing to Mr.. Wren as a living refuta-
ton of the fool notion that big consolda-
tons of corporations have destroyed all
chance for the young man without pull
Everybody who ever had anything to 90
with Mr.. Wren knows that in the thirty
four wears of his life he has never been
one who worked his friends. When he has
gone up a peg he has climbed and has
not been pushed
He has been the best stenOgrapher and
typewriter and messenger and confidential
clerk and manager that he has known
how to be all the time. He has made the
utmost effort to assure himself and his
employer that he is always to be relied
upon.
When he was in Amsterdam, where
everybody drinks, his employer used TO
guy him because he was too good to drink
with the crowd. But when he left, Mr.
BOissevain gave him a gold watch, with
an Inscription which some of his friends
have seen. and SAID:

man. but I want you to know this: That

Mr.. Wren is a great believer in short

of that mornings shouting, he paid up in

family as he would have liked, bat had

oliver Wren took to shorthand and
typewriting because he knew that though

with comparative ease, he could get a
