Morisini went with him as ships boy. It is really worth while to hear him tell of his life on the ocean with Garibaidi, from whom he parted in 1854, at Genoa, not long before the patriot began his first important cam paign The two men never met again. Morosini will not talk with the same freedom of Gould, though they were together almost constantly from some where early in the sixties until Gould s death.
 Morosini was an employe at some
 sort of rough work in the offices of the
 Erie Railway when Gould first set eyes
 upon him. There was a curious attrac-
 tion between the two men from the
 first; the attraction of opposites. for
 never did two human beings of the
 male persuasion meet who were more
 unlike than Jey Gould and Giovanni F. Morosinf.
 Gould was short. slender. nervous anaa&4iry. Morosini, not tall, was still
 of such height that his head fairly lowered above Gould's, and his broad shoulders made Gould's narrow ones look pitifully small by contrast.
 Physically, Gould was coward, Physically, Morosini was afraid of nothing. Mentally Gould was alert, resourceful. courageous, and as cunning (as a panther. Mentally, Morosini was originally somewhat dense. But he has one quality which made him of ex- treme value to Gould--that of positive and unalloyed and persistent loyalty
 for any one with whom he once ccn- tracts an attachment. He fairly adored Gould because of Goulds kindness to
 him and admired him because of his wonderful way in Wall Street.
 Gould made the Italian his personal
 attendant, himself devoted much time
 to developing the mans mentality. and saw to it that he had an opportunity to
 get thousands of dollars where without such an employer he couldn't have got hundreds, or perhaps even tens. In return Morosini gave himself com pletely to the service of his black-eyed. black bearded. ascetic-loolSing master. More than once he saved Gould's life when desperate people, believing they had been defrauded by the Wizard of Wall Street, were eagerly seeking it.. It was almost as bad as getting Mo rosini blow on the side of the face as to encounter one of his lowering scowls if you tried to see Gould when | the latter was too tired. or too busy, or disinclined, for any reason, to grant an interview.
 Toward the latter end of Jay Gould's l life he felt more secure from physical violence than he had in earlier years and Morosini had plenty Of time left over after guarding Gould to look af- ter the money he was able to invest through Gould's liberality. At the
 same time his personal appearance im-
 proved and his knowledge of business
 became really worth while. His name
