The Herald Wan! Ads. Will Do It For You! U. S. PRESS A S S O C IA T IO N Bond Building Washington, D. C. S P E C IA L N O T E : Mr. Jones is the Washington correspondent of T h e Herald, and if you will state that you are a raider of this paper, an autographed copy of the first edition will be furnished on the regular order. Kdwurd Wilkins wus a fanner boy who when he was but seven years old showed signs of a towering ambition Even at that tender age he discerned that, while there were a number of sources of power, the one that covered the widest Held was wealth. At any rate, he saw persons living in fine houses and driving about in style, and he not only envied them, but resolved that as 8oou as he was able to accumu late money it should be the object of his life. When Edward was fourteen he said good by to his father and mother and went to the city to begin a career. Be ing bright and ready at all times for work, he found a situation and not only kept it, but advanced rapidly. As he grew’ older there was no desire in him for money in itself, but for the power und prominence it would give him. Except for the first few years he spent in the « Ity. he did not accumu late by saving. The fortune that came to him was (he result rather o f daring operations, for which he seemed to have a genius. After awhile Edward Wilkins had ac cumulated so much money that it seem ed impossible he should ever be poor. His safety lay in having so much capi tal that he coukl carry through any scheme he undertook. I f he wished to buy all the corn in the country and hold it at his owu price he was able to do so. Did he choose to buy a rail way he could first depress the stock, then purchase it and hold it at his own valuation. Wilkins had no desire to exercise the power his wealth gave him. lie was content with knowing that lie |>ossess ed it. lie did not care for |>olitical preferment; he took no interest in in fluencing the course of the government. When the great financier was forty years o f age lie had reached the sum mit of Ills ambition. He had acquired enormous power through his wealth, but since the exercise of that power would give him no enjoy incut he had come to tlie end of fiis desire, lie was like Alexander, who complained be cause there were no more kingdoms to conquer When au active brain tires of 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 lie a sepulcher than a home. Another will turn an thor, taking comfort in giving to the world theories for which it has no use.* Wilkins, now that lie had reached his goal in half a lifetime, began to won der what would be the end of the oth er half. After a continued rise to the summit would he descend again to end his career in the valley? One thing he had lived long enough to recognize Life appeared to him a 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 had been val leys and valleys where there had been mountains Cities had been buried for centuries, forgotten, then uncovered to serve as curiosities. Whole sections of land had slid down into the sea and passed out of sight What would become o f his great for tune? He knew that after his death it would pass back into the great ocean of wealth. But would he retain it for the rest of his life? Now that lie had achieved it he no longer value*] it and cared not so much what was to be come of it as what was to become of him. Enough to give him the ordinary comforts essential to okl age was ail he desired. But that much was of great moment to him. One night he dreamed a vivid dream, n e dreamed that he returned to the farm and was a boy again. Yet be possessed all the experience lie had ac quired His ambition was gone He said to himself: “ Here I am. and here I wish to remain. My body is not as it was. full of 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 his mind with other forgotten tilings When Wilkins found that lie had at tained his desire he bethought liimselt what he could do to replace the object he had lost. Like many other rich men under similar circumstances» lie decid ed to build himself a magnificent resi dence He had long owned the farm on which be had been born. His fa ther and toother bitd died there, and he had no use for the place. So the house was shut up and the ¡and left untilled, though he gave orders that the house and fences should be kept in repair The farm marked his be ginning; the pnlaee lie was about to build would mark his end He spent a year on designs for his residence, then began to build. Poor years passed, and it was not finished Indeed, he did not wish It finished He clung to building it for something to occupy him. When it was complete and he moved In he seemed lost in it It was big enough for a hundred fami lies, and there was only himself to use It One day when he felt ill and «lred and lonely he concluded to go to the farm He had not been there in many years The view in front of the house ne bad always loved, and he sat down on the little porch to look at it Then he remembered his dream. He never left this place of his Mrtb In a few weeks he died It wus about 1850 that Arnold Dui- uifiltre, a cotton factor of New Or leans, went to New York on business. In the office of u cotton broker iu New York was a boy named Alee Tra cy, whose health was very delicate. Indeed, the doctors had given him hut u short time to live. Tracy, who was but fifteen years old. was assigned to Dalmaitre to perform certain clerical duties and curry messages during the latter’s stay in New York. Dalmaitre wus one of those men generous, sensi tive to their honor, that were typical of the south at that time. He took pity on the boy and. suggesting that a southern climate and a change of scene might restore him to health, offered to take him to New Orleans and give him a position in his office there. Dalmaitre was a bachelor about forty years old and soon after his return from New York married a woman half his age, celebrated for her beauty. Gay society is usually encumbered with men who consider woiueu a legit hnate prey, though the standard of honor in this respect is doubtless high er than it was. A scion of a noble French house. Albert Duller, whose father had left France during the revo lution to escape the guillotine, was at that time prominent socially in New Orleans and became devoted to Mine. Dalmaitre. It was not long before Ills attentions were the subject of remark Dalmaitre was not himself socially Inclined, and fiis wife went about a good deal without him. For this rea son lie did not observe Durier being so much with his wife, and theft was no one to ( tuition him except Tracy. The young northerner was conscious of the fact that he owed his life to bis bene factor and idolised b in. When, there fore. lie noticed that Dalmaitre needed a friend to warn him ot the danger iu which his wife was being placed be considered bow be could do so with the least damage to all concerned. But the more lie thought about It the more clearly In» saw the difficulties in tlie wav. Not a word could be spo ken without bringing on a rupture in Dalmnitre's domestic relations Tracy believed that the wife was innocent, but imprudent; that she needed to be cautioned, possibly to be withdrawn from the Influence of her admirer. This plan. too. he east aside. Finally he determined to settle tlie matter with Durier. but in such a way ttint it would not appear to pertain in any way to tIn- Indy. Meeting Durier at a ball. Tracy, while both were dancing. Durier with Mine. Dalmaitre. purposely shoved him. Durier cast an irritated glance at him but paid no further attention to the matter. Tracy guided his partner again near Durier and brought about another collision. This time he scowl ed at Durier. as if to accuse him ot being at fault in the matter. As soon as the music stopped the two men went to another room, where each accused the other of purposely ruun ng against him in the dance. Tra e.v was coolly abusive, tantalizing Ids enemy into a passion. Finally the lat ter at a contemptuous remark of Pra cy’s turned on his heels with the words "You shall hear from me" and. seeking a friend, sent a challenge by him. The episode was witnessed by revoral persons, who gave tlie cause as it appeared on the surface. Dueling at that time was the ac knowledged method among gentlemen, especially in the south, of settling dis putes, and there was a grove not far from the Crescent City where the duels took place. It was arranged that at sunrise the next morning the parties should meet at this grove and settle tit the pistol’s month which of tlie two men had joggh d the other in the dance. Whether Durier suspected the real cause did not appear. But there was one person who saw through Tracy’s act and had learned the consequences shortly after the words that passed between the two men. Tracy was living in bachelor rooms at tlie time, and he had scarcely got home from the ball when who should appear but Mine. Dalmaitre. “ This affair between you and Mr Durier must not take place. Why did you not make your demands on me in stead of picking this quarrel with him?" “ 1 do not understand you, tnadanie.” Sin* looked at him keenly for a time, then said. “ What do you wish me to do?” “ Nothing." "M y eyes have been opened. I assure , you I am perfectly innocent. I will agree never to receive your enemy again. Apologize to him and end tlie matter between you and him.” "Are you aware that such a course would catfse me to lie cut by every friend I have?" "Oh. heavens!" “ You fear that the real cause of the quarrel will he learned by the world.” “ 1 do " "Very well. I will send an apology to Purler at once.' She seized his hand and kissed It. then turning, left him. The next day Tracy told Ids bene factor (lint lie had determined to re turn to New York. Dalmaitre endeav ored lo dissuade him. but without e f fect He departed soon after the epi sode to escape the contempt of the entire social set o f New* Orleans. Mme.
