When Edward was fourteen he said yoodby to his father aud mother and went to the city to begin a career. Be lug bright and ready ill all times for work, be found a situation and not only kept It. but advanced rapidly. As be grew older there was no desire In him for money In Itself, hut for the low er aud prominence it would give hint. Except for the first few years be spent In the city, be did not accutnu lute by saving. Tbe fortune that came to him was tbe result rather o f during operations, for which he seemed to have u genius. After awhile Edward Wilkins bad ac- i umulated so much money that it seem ed Impossible he should ever be |>oor Ills safety lay In Laving so much cap! tal that he could carry through any scheme he undertook. I f be wished to buy all the corn In tbe country and hold it at bis owu price lie was able to do so. Did he choose to buy a rail- way he could first depress the stock, then purchase It und hold It at Ills own valuation. Wilkins bad no desire to exercise the l» w e r bis wealth gave him. He was content with knowing that he lossess ed it. He did not care for political preferment; he took no interest in in llueucing tbe course o f tbe government When the great financier was forty years o f age be bad reached tbe sum mit o f bis ambition. He bad acquired enormous power through his wealth, but since tbe exercise o f that power would give him do enjoymeut be bad come to tbe end of bis desire. He was like Alexander, who complained be cause there were no more kingdoms to conquer. When an active brain tires o f what has occupied and fed It there comes a craving for something to take its place. One such person will spend years building a sumptuous residence, which is more likely to be a sepulcher than a home. Another will turn au thor. taking comfort iu giving to the world theories for which It has no use. Wilkins, now that he had reached bis goal in half a lifetime, began to won der what would be the end o f the oth er half. A fter a continued rise to the summit would be descend again to end his career in the valley? One thing he bad lived long enough to recognize L ife appeared to him n constant shifting. Nothing seemed to endure unless It was inanimate, and even that, though slowly, was continu ally changing its form. There were mountains where there bad beeD val leys and valleys where there bad been mountains. Cities had beeD buried for centuries, forgotten, then uncovered to serve as curiosities. Whole sections of land had slid down into the sea and passed out o f sight W hat would become o f his great for tune? He knew that after his death it would pass back into the great ocean o f wealth. But would he retain It for the rest o f his life? Now that he had achieved it he no longer valued It and cared not so much what was to be come of it as what was to become o f him. Enough to give him the ordinary comforts essential to old age was all he desired. But that much was o f great moment to him. One night be dreamed a vivid dream. He dreamed that he returned to the farm and was a boy again Yet he possessed all the experience be bad ac quired. His ambition was gone. He said to himself: "H ere I am. and here I wish to remain. My body is uot as it was, full o f life. It is tired All 1 desire Is rest." It was a strange dream, this old spirit in a young body. It made a marked impression on him at the time, but gradually passed out of bis mind with other forgotten things When Wilkins found that be had at tained his desire be bethought himself what be could do to replace tbe object he bad lost. Like many other rich men under similar circumstances, be decid ed to build himself a magnificent resi dence He had long owned the farm on which lie bad been born His fa ther and mother had died (here, and he had no use for the place. So the house was shut np and the land left unfilled, though be gave orders that tbe house nml fences should lie kept In repair The farm marked bis be ginning; the palace he wna about to build would mark his end He spent a year on designs for bis residence, then began to build.
