Beecot shook his head and strove to

Scotland. The multi-millionaire took
Brand out Of the poorhouse and gave
him cottage and pension in his

Brand was year older and much
bigger than the boy who was destined

the little chap on his way to school
Brand used to give him ride pick

In those days, but could hardly be
called chums, for Carnegie even then
was disposed to take life seriously
and didn't go in much for games,
while Brand, being big and strong,
made the most of his opportunities
for play. Carnegie left for America
with his parents when he was only
ii years old. He called on Brand
to bid him good-by before starting.

A London journalist happened to
