late money It should be the object of
bis life.
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. Four
year» passed jnnd It was not finished.
