Stoughton sought the library, where

Stoughton managed to be much with
Miss Coverly during his stay at the

crisp, autumn mornings; together they

themselves whenever they went shooting

way in the coke business. The bust

1873, when he was t~wenty-four years
old, came the great panic of that year.
Values went out of everything. lie
bought all the coal and coke properties
he could, and at panic prices, and when
the reaction came found himself well
started on the road to enormous wealth.
AT forty he was master of the coal
trade, and this brought him into con
nection with Andrew Carnegie. When
the various Carnegie interests were
consolidated Mr.. Frick became chair
nan of the new company and active
head of one of the largest Industries
in the world. 1t was the big strike ut
Homestead in 1899 that brought him to
public attention. A fanatic named Berg
man shot at and stabbed him, wound
ing him badly, and the incident added
to the excitement caused by the labor
troubles.
Mr.. Frick recently built a 100000
cottage at Beverly Farms, Mass, for
a country residence. 1t contains n
pipe organ which cost $4,000. He
spends large sums on works of art
and is said to have given a great deal
of money in a quiet way to charitable
undertakings. Some time ago two wo-
men called at his office to get Il small
contribution for Il new free bath house
in Pittsburg. They could not obtain al
interview with him and were going
away disappointed when Mr.. Tricks
confidential clerk came out with Il
slip in his hand. On it was written,
"Give the ladies this check and tell
them Mr.. Frick cannot see them to-
day" When they saw the amount of
the check they almost tainted. 1t was
for $1,000.
