She had dipped Der pen int the ink tC

sQuarely upon the top of the other.
This is a somewhat unusual method of
procedure. but it was Il habit of the
girls. She sometimes wrote half 4 doZ
en- letters and made a pile of them. put
ting on the addresses after they were
all done. at some Inconvenience to her

had attended the same schools and had
been sOjourners in the city about an
equal time. They preserved an init
macy which was not especially agree
able to either of them, but their early
association and the fact that they were
studying music under the same masters
and had nearly the same circle of ac-
quaintance held them together Miss
Winthrop did not find Miss Darrell con-
genial; she did not quite approve Of
her conduct in certain matters and
Miss Darrell perceived it. resented it
and concealed within her heart Il smol-
dering luminosity. which was made
worse by Il somewhat absurd jealousy.
Yet there had never been anything like
quarrel between them.
When Grace Winthrop opened the
door for Gladys round faced boy who
was the landlady's son was passing
through the hall. Grace had message
for this youth, and so she excused her
self to Gladys. who passed into the lit
tie parlor alone.
Gladys crossed to the desk beside the
window and saw the two letters lying
there. She was ii girl whose great nat
ural curiosity was insuiticiently re-
strained by delicacy--the sort of girl
who couldn't help wondering for whom
those letters were intended. Beside
them was Il memorandum book about
the size of half a playing card. 1t was
open, and >uler lay across 1t in such
q way as to cover most of the left
hand page and leave the other exposed.
The visible page bore two addresses

and Mr.. Willis Barnes. p Broad street
They seemed to have been very recent

thought flashed through Gladys brain
"She's been writing to those two fel

She glanced quickly toward the door

still in the hall. Gladys took up the
two letters, saw that neither was ad

day in the year. He still lacks a year OF
being 80. Like the great majority OF
Pittsburg men of money, he is compare
lively young.
Andrew NJ. Moreland, former secretary
of the Carnegie company, owes his present
financial position to his ability to send
and receive telegraph messages with
l~ightning-likc rapidity and unerrlng accu-
racy. This accomplishment softened Mr..
Carr egie's heart toward him, for Mr.. Car
negie, himself a splendid telegrapher'
thoroughly appreciates one. Therefore,
MIR. Moreland did not long remain an oper-
ator on the private line connecting the
Carnegie plants with one another and all
with the New York Office Of the great iron
master. First thing he knew he was ris-
ing rapidly in the steel business.
Like Mr.. Moreland, w. w. Blackburn, the
present secretary and treasurer of the
Carnegie company and also second vice
president of the Carnegie Steel company,
started in and attracted attention without
the aid of outside influence. Mr.. Black
burn had been a clerk in a country store
in central Pennsylvania before he went to
the Carnegie mills and there he had picked
up a knowledge of business principles that
shortly caused his new employer to see
evidences of splendid business acumen in
him. After that this poor boy of a poor
farmer went forward gradually and when
Mr.. Moreland resigned the secretaryship
of the Carnegie company he succeeded to
the position. He and Mr.. Moreland can
truthfully be called boy millionaires, fol
each is still on the shady side of middle
age.

conservatively estimated at 100000, 900.
II. c. Frick not long ago named Mr.. Pea
cock as one of the thirty men in Pittsburg
who are worth this sum and over. He has
recently moved into a new house which cost
81, 600, 600 and which is said to contain the
finest interior woodwork of any private
residence in America.
Daniel NJ. Clemson is another of these
fortunate two score men. He got the good
will of Mr.. Carnegie and, ergo, his mil
lions. because he could shoe a horse well
and wasn't afraid of work.
Mr.. Clemson was born on a farm in cen
tral pennsylvania. When he was 9 years
old he was apprenticed to a blacksmith.
The recompense was all that he could eat
and an occasional suit of homespun. He
blOssomed out as an accomplished
"smithy' on his nineteenth birthday. AS
his pay was still his board, he went out
into the world to seek his fortune.
He drifted to one of Carnegie's mines.
What can you do?" asked the superin-
tendent.
"Shoe horses was the reply.
Mr.. Clemson shod horses so well and so
many in a day that when Mr.. Carnegie was
inspecting the mine, the superintendent
said:
That fellow shooting horses over there
is the fastest and best man in the shop
He's not afraid of work either; he'll work
all day and all night if necessary.
Give him a chance in the mechanical
department" ordered Mr.. Carnegie.
Mr.. Clemson soon had charge of all tho
mining machinery. Next he became the
mine superintendent. In 1885 he wal
transferred to Pittsburg. Now he ha'

owned by the Steel trust and is head of

How closely the Carnegie group was kept
down to business is shown by the follow
ing incident:
Mr.. Moreland. when auditor of the com
pany, was summoned to New York to con-
suit with his commercial master. At din
ner Mr.. Carnegie set wine before his
guest.
mo, thank you, | don't drink said Mr..
Morcland.
Later on MIR. Carnegie brought out the
cigars.
mo, thank you, l don't smoke said
Mr.. Moreland.
StiIl later in the evening Mr.. Carnegie
proposed a game of cards.
mo, thank you, l don't play cards" said
Mr.. Moreland.
Mr.. Carnegie looked at his guest.
Tell me why you don't do any of these
things 2" he drily requested.
you've kept me working too hard all
these years; I've had no time to learn
was the reply.
Mr.. Carnegie thought a moment.
ANDY" he said, I'm going to give
you a three months vacation. Now, for
heavens sake, go off somewhere and learn
to do something besides work"
The Carnegie company one day adver-
tised in the newspapers for "A bookkeeper.
