How MORGAN Took a Partner.

B. c. Forbes, in Leslie's: "Mr.
| Morgan wants to see you in his
| library at three o'clock" was the
message received one day by the vice
president of New York bank.
He hadn't the slightest idea what
the veteran tinancier could want with
him. He had met Mr.. Morgan. as
most other financiers had, during the
parlous days when the master mind
Of them all was trying to stem the
1907 panic, nut had not seen any
thing of Mr. Morgan until the spring
! of the following year when, with Sen
ator Aldrich and other members of
| the monetary commission, he had
spent a Sunday at Mr.. Morgan's Lon
don home. Between then and the re-
ceipt Of the above message in the
fall of 1908 ne had seldom spoken to
Mr.. Morgan.
Promptly Mt three o'clock the
matter could be. rang the bell of the
famous Morgan library. On being
ushered in he almost collided with
Mr.. Morgan at the entrance to his
private room.
| Mr.. Morgan shook hands and bade
the puzzled visitor be seated.
"Do you realize 1t is pretty near
the first of January7' he asked.
The young banker very much at
sea, agreed that it was-this was
about the middle Of November.
Are you ready?" asked Mr.. Nor
gan.
Ready for what" queried the as.
tonished visitor.
| For what" echoed Mr.. Morgan.
"You know want you to come and
join my firm on the first Of January"
"You never said anything about it,
Mr.. Morgan"
! II thought you knew by my express
sion what l thought of you" said Mr..
Morgan.
"Mr. Morgan, have you ever fallen
from an 1&story building?
| II was MIR. Norgan's turn to be as.
tonished
NO" he replied, scrutinizing his
| visitor.
We'll, I never have before, and it
will take me minute or two to
catch my breath"
Mr. Morgan laughed.
And that wds how Henry P. Dari
son, then only 30, was notified Of his
selection as partner in the greatest
international banking firm in the
/ United States.
