LUCK SURELY WITH CARNEGIE
In His Autobiography the Ironmaster
Has Told of an Amazing Piece
of Fortune.

Business acquaintances and rivals
of Andrew Carnegies used to declare
that in addition to his remarkable abil-
ity and farsightedness he was blessed
with amazing luck. An incident early
in the ironmaster's career seems to
justify the assertion. A piece of care
lessness that might have ruined an
only in brief scare.
One morning, he relates in his auto
biography, he set out from Altoona
for Pittsburgh with package of pay
rolls and checks under his waistcoat-
Tor the package was too large for his
pockets. He was very enthusiastic
railroader at that time and liked to
ride on the engine. 1t was very rough
ride over the mountains, and at one
place, uneasily feeling for the pack
age, he was Mortified to find that the
jolting of the train had shaken it out
There was" he says, mo use in dis
guising the fact that such a failure
would ruin me, for to have been sent
for the pay rolls and checks and to
lose the package was a dreadful show
ing. l called the engineer and told
him that it must have been shaken out
within the last few miles. Would he
reverse his engine and run back for II?
Kind SOUL he did so. l watched the
line, and on the bank Of a large stream
within few feet of the water l saw
the package. I could hardly believe
my eyes. | ran down and grasped 1t.
1t was not damaged. Need add that
1t never passed out Of my firm grasp
again until it was safe in Pittsburgh?
81 never ventured to tell the story
until long afterward. Suppose that
package had fallen just a few feet
farther away and been swept down
by the stream; how many years of
faithful service it would have re-
quired to wipe out the effect of that
one piece of carelessness
II have never since believed, says he,
in being too hard on young man,
even if he does commit dreadful mis-
take or two; and in judging such acts
/ have always tried to remember the
difference it would have made in my
own career if had not found that lost
package. youths Companion.
