PERFORMED MIRACLE

AS the head of the Northern Pa cific, MT. Mellen performed something of a traffic miracle in building up the western line in six years from what he described as little better thtan 1.-two streaks of rust across the prairie, to a flourishing fast-freight system.

Tn the next ID years the New Haven absorbed outside land and water competition to the extent of more than s2OO,OoO,ooO. The meth ds of the management provoked pup lie storm. Courts, legislators and the Interstate Commerce Commlsslor arose to challenge MT. Mellen ana nlS associates in their course.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec. 3.-tR
Sent away from home by child
hood lovers quarrel, wandering IN
Mexico during its hottest political in
trigue and escaping from under the
guns of a Zapata and Carranza firing
squad from whence he went TO the
art centers of the East, and finally
meeting his sweetheart Of nearly
forty years ago and ending with
"they lived happily ever after" are
events which read stranger than fie-
ton in the varied career Of D. Frank
Brown OF Waxahachic, missionary,
artist and soldier Of fortune.
Back in the SOS Brown and Miss
Irene Rives were Ew~eethearts. They
planned 10 marry at the end of five
years when each had finished their
education. In meantime Browns par
ents objected TO the match and later
he and his sweetheart called il
quits" Brown renouncing home and
country, vowing never 10 return.
For many years he was a soldier Of
fortune, visiting Mexico. Cuba, West
Indies, Central and South America,
trying to drown his sorrow By plung-
ing into work of painting the beau
ties of the southern countries.
Becoming a portrait and landscape
painter Of renown, Mr.. Brown &C.
cumulated a fortune in Mexico. The
artist fell into the hand Of Zapata
bandits who demanded 1900 pesos.
but somehow he outwitted them and
escaped.
He later fell into the hands Of
C~arranza's forces and was thrown
into prison ut Vera Cruz where he
said he was tortured for five days
and on the last day taken before a
firing squad. Having served for sew
eral years as a Baptist missionary,
Mr.. Brown while awaiting his exc
cution preached to the soldiers a SER
mon In Spanish. His pleading anu
earnestness won his hearers, he said,
and he was allowed to escape.
Now penniless he made his way TO
New York where he organized art
classes and established a business.
In the meantime his sfrihood sweet
