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.
Dalmaitre gave up many of her social
ties and devoted herself to bet hua-
