first. It was possible, Van Auken had
not missed the money.
As he walked rapidly inward his

part of the marvelous change which
had begun to transform his whole life.

Thus, his thoughts keeping pace
with his purposeful feet, he came at
length in sight of the shabby, unpaint-

the sign: Van Auken's General Store:

He looked to see its proprietor
lounging according to habit in the
entrance which was seldom closed by

he noticed that the barrels and boxes

The Penniless Millionaire.
The recent death of Andrew Car-
negie has removed one of the most
romantic figures from our midst.
Carnegie was prObably the second
richest man in tho World—Rockerellor
came first—and gave away more than
any other millionaire. Ms gifts total-
led about $850,000,000. A curious
characteristic of his was his dislike of
parting with small chlinge Libraries
--by all menns! Twenty-five cents?
That worried him. He often went
about with nothing in his pocket, In
order that he might not bo peetered,
an(1 this once led to an amusing in.

see Mr. Carnegie bursting in upon him,

it was a joke. "But I might never see
it again!" he protested. "Come,
come, it's no laughing matter!" re.
torted Carnegie. "lefy cabinan's wait-
ing at the door, and I haven't a

Mr Carnegie was uefavorably dis-
posed towards drink, smoking, and
cards, whereby hangs another tale, It
tells of an occasion when he was an-
nroaehee one evening by • a card -
player.
"Will you join us at poker?" he was
asked.
"No," he replied, "Crib is my
game"
And off lie 21313111 50 bed.
There is another story, however,
which suggests that, when he wishe1

on his dislikes and did not obtrude his
personal opinions. He had sent for
the auditor of the Carnegie Company.

"No, thanke, 1 don't drink," said
Moreland. lie then refused to emoke,
and later on to play mite.
"Tell me why You do none of these
tillages?" asked Carnegie, interested.
"You've kept me working too hard
all these years," replied Moreland
bluntly,
Carnegie blinked at him, and sud-
denly exclaimed:

vacation, and, for )lonven's sake, go
off and do something beside work!"
