An important figure In the man
ufacturing world today occupied as
q young man a position Of trust
with a large corporation. He drift
ed into unfortunate associations.
and, trying to keep up the. pace,
became a defaulter. His shortage
was discovered, he was tried and
sent to States prison. And that
was the end Of him-or would have
been, II he had been made OF or
binary stuff.
But he did not yield to the debas-
ing influences OF his surroundings.
Neither did he whine, nor cry, nor
murmur that life was over for him.
For once, imprisonment had the
reformatory effect which it is
theoretically supposed to exercise.
In his cell and during the hours
that he was employed he had am
pie opportunity for reflection and
he put it to good purpose.
When he came out he went right
back to the town where he had
met disgrace and began to build
up the structure Of his life all
over again. 1t wasn't an easy
job; it never Is, to inspire conf
dence in a community where you
have lost it. People are kindly
enough in the main, but there is
among the majority a universal
distrust Of the convict and his as
surances Of reform. This particu-
lar convict found it, exceedingly
tough shedding. But he gritted his
teeth and held on. And after a
while the Angel of Opportunity
came around. 1t wasn't a thun-
derous knock that the angel gave
on his door, just a hesitating, lit
tie rap, so faint that it could
scarcely be heard. And what the
angel offered was a proposition
which entailed a lot of hard work
and the promise of only a very
meager reward.
But the young man was game
enough to take It up, and today
he is the directing head of one of
the largest corporations in the
country, with an income which
runs into hundreds of thousands.
That fault of his youth has been
so utterly expunged that it is re-
membered only as a dramatic in
cident in his career, and even to
himself it must seem like a dream.
A year or two ago there was
published an unsigned personal
narrative, easily recognized in its
details by those who knew some
thing Of the work and history of
the writer. 1t told of a Western
business man who, in the attempt

opportunity to demonstrate itself.
You can't put an eagle into a par
rot's cage and expect 1t to make
much of a success at saying Polly
wants a cracker" And, according
to all accounts, Grant was never
very garrulous bird anyhow.
Certainly he did not say: well,
life is over and done with for me.
/ have made irrevocable mistakes,
and I'm getting old, and there's no
chance for me in the future"
Neither did he 90 around boasting
over his past successes-the brand
of the has-been. For the men who
will rule tomorrow are always too
busy planning and thinking ahead
to waste time on post-mortems.
They also serve who only
stand and wait" When Destiny
beckoned, Grant responded. He
stepped forward TO take his place
among the great captains OF his
tory.
It's a great big fallacy to say
that Opportunity knocks only once
at every door. That is not an orig
inal statement on my part, but it's
a true one, which is better. For
Opportunity knocks again and
again, and comes persistently and
in many different guises to US all.
The musty old axiom which asserts
the contrary is just a refuge for
the Stacker and the shirk.
1t is true, however, that, as in
the processes Of nature, there are
in every life longer or shorter
periods when things seem to come
pretty definitely to a standstill.
The tide goes out until it seems
to our despairing eyes to be re-
ceding as far as the horizon; there
is nothing but sand in every direc-
ton. II chokes our threats and it
smarts in our eyes and we'd as lief
die as live. But the tide that goes
out has got to come in. Action
and reaction; that's the law of the
universe. And during the deadly
periods when we seem to be mere
ly marking time, we are really
gathering our forces for a fresh
attack. Let US fall back upon the
eternal platitudes which have
never been surpassed as illustra-
tons Of human life, the grub with
in the chrysalis making ready to
emerge as a butterfly, the grain
beneath the winters snow silent
ly gathering energy to expand and
ripen in the summer harvests.
Often the success which one
achieves may be directly traced
TO these intervals Of apparent dis
couragment and inaction.

to expand too rapidly overstepped
the bounds of the law and was
sentenced to a five years term in
prison. His career was blasted,
his business as a result of the ex-
posure was in ruins. Even if he
were at liberty, he had neither the
capital nor the credit to establish
himself again. And he had those
dependent upon him who must be
supported while he was serving
his term. He was up against a
blank wall. The only chance he
saw to earn money in the peniten-
tiary was by writing in his spare
hours for the magazines. He had
never done anything of the sort,
and had no special training for it.
His Discouragements Many,
Yet He Forced Success by
His Persevering.
He did not realize that he was
essaying a profession which re-
quires more special aptitude, is
the most arduous and uncertain
and, to beginner, is the most dis
couraging Of them all. He soon
learned these facts. There were
few of the discouragements, OBJ
stacles, and disappointments which
beset the path of the unknown
writer that he did not encounter.
But he had something to say and a
determination to say it. The re-
suit was that he was able at length
not only to provide for his family,
but to commence paying of the
debts which his indiscretion had
incurred. He is still writing sue
cessfully.
These stories are not told to in
dictate that it is necessary to go to
the penitentiary to succeed; but
simply to show that no folly, no
mistake, no disgrace is a bar to
success.
No person lives without a desire
to prove himself a success to some
one. And the jumping-off place is
almost always the spot where OPP
portuhity is loafng around to give
US another chance. Especially is
this true in the seething turmoil
and upheaval Of the world today.
The cry everywhere is for workers,
for service. For the old and the
gray-headed, for the weak as for
the strong, for the broken in spirit
and the broken in pocket, for the
down-and-outer of every sort there
is a wonderful chance to come
back"
The Washington times., 1917-08-29

y ONCE heard a magazine edi-
tor say that there was one
theme for a story which
never failed to catch the in
terest of the reader-that Of the
man who loses out and then
comes back"
It follows then-doesn't it-that
the reason this theme always
evokes a sympathetic response is
because it appeals to some in
stinctive belief of the human
heart. We all, men and women
alike, must feel within US the
ability to "come back" or we
would not so universally concede
that it is a feasibility. For no
character and no situation in fic-
ton can stand unless they ring
true to the great realities Of life.
There are object lessons
a-plenty. History is stuffed as full
of them as a Christmas cake is Of
plums. Washington and Farragut
and Julius Caesar and Napoleon
and Milton are examples of men
who came back. There is hardly
a high light in all the records Of
mankind from the days Of the
Patriarchs down that does not fall
into this category. Jacob came
back, and so did Joseph and Moses
and Samson and David and Job.
No Defeat Is Really Final
When One VIII Fight and
Not Heed 1t.
And as in the life of men, so in
the life of nations. England, the
unconquerable, has come back
again and again.
The truth is, that no defeat is
final and no mistake irrevocable,
so long as the will to fight on and
to succeed endures.
There is the typical ease of
General Grant. He had had his
opportunity and had made reason
ably good. Then the tide turned.
Through adverse circumstances
and to some extent through his
own errors of judgment, he went
down in the scale. In middle life
he stood rated a failure. Who in
1859 among his friends and &C
quaintances would have mad the
hardihood to proclaim Ulysses
Grant as a coming great national
figure?
Yet the genius which directed
the siege of Vicksburg and carried
through the campaign which ended
In the fall of Richmond was I'M
doubtedly present in the thriftless
tanner as much as in the great
