SUCCESS IS. YOURS


You don't know when you'll get
such good start toward the top
that you'll just naturally keep on
going until you land right where
you want to. be.
1t doesn't matter what you
have done. You don't have to
keep on doing it If it is wrong
or impractical. You don't have to
carry it around as a handicap
when you decide to shake it off.
The man who stages a come
back does 1t because it never &C.
ours tot him to quit.
The man who gets thrown
back for loss has every right
to believe that he's learning
through those losses and that
some day - some time - soma
where he is going to cash in on
his knowledge and build his flu
ture success right on the monu-
ment to his past failure.
AS long as you keep faith IN
life and faith with yourself there
is every reason to suppose that
you're going to succeed. It has
been done so often and it is so
characteristic of all life-ani-
mate and inanimate-that only
the mentally blind can fail to
see that comebacks are the most
natural thing in the world.
Just keep going. The road
leads somewhere. You cut your
mental teeth on disappointment
and failure. You build your sue
cess on your ability to take a
licking" without ever acknowl.
edging that you. are beaten.
Nothing can make you a fail.
ure save your belief in failure.

The Curtain Calls.

But she came back and stayed
till the curtain went down. And
this was no sooner down than it
went up again. And so on, for
many times; almost like a ball
bouncing. And at last Silver came
out all alone. covered with conflis-
Jon now, and tingling with delight.
New York has not seen many such
ovations as the people whose hearts
and minds she had stormcd now

a while she forgot all about He'd

The young men were absorbed
in their eavesdropping. Somehow
it did not offend them to hear
peoples efforts at dissecting Sill

component parts.
They found themselves liking
people of repellent aspect whom
they could not have liked on any
other occasion or for any other
reason. And from Henley, even
the praises of Hedden fell as
water from a ducks back.
The Critics Delighted.
"The most original playwright
we have ever produced" said one
critic to a number. And he
named as proof half a dozen in
ventions in that first act for
which Henley himself was en-
tfrely responsible.
"Run?" said another critic.
eth run like shad in spring;
but that isn't the question. Will
it ever stop running? VIII the
public ever let that girl play
anything else?
Henley nudged Waring.
Didn't I tell you she had the
right notion of how to manager"
he asked boastfully. Didn't !

''You did," said Waring. And

ever, he appeared pale and a little
bored.
Until Silver's first. entrance the
audience was a little puzzled.
They liked the extraordinary salt
atmosphere that Hedden and his
chemists had managed to create.
But either the acoustics weren't
very good or that little knot of
seamen weren't talking English.
AS matter. of fact. they weren't.
Three of them were talking frank,
fragrant, utterly technical ship
talk, and the two others, the very
brown seamen with gold rings in
their ears, were talking pure
Portuguese, or it may not have
been pure; don't know. Further
more, the old sea captain, who
looked as IL he had stepped out

to walk away. He stumbles
against something, swears a round

"Fighting!" Bunny exclaimed.
Indeed they were. 1t seems that
one couple came back to go into
their old apartment and. much to
their amazement, found another
weaver bird and his wife hust-
ling around getting ready to set
tie in it.
"'What do you mean?' cried
the first bird, coming into this
apartment? as the former ten
ants tried to enter.

seems that the ladies came out

they had settled 1t. The second

AS their seats were on an aisle
they did not occupy them long
in peace. Every now and then
they had to tumble out into the
aisle. to let people pass through
to the seats beyond them. A lady
stabbed Henley in the right eye
with a stiff hat feather. He beg
ged her pardon most humbly.
She turned to beg his, and in so
doing stabbed her own escort in
the left eye. A stout gentleman
stepped on Warnings foot, and
there remained, without apology,
while divesting himself of his
coat. A stout gentleman in the
front row suddenly turned

A Brilliant Audience.
TIE theater was practically full
now. There was what the news

usually well represented, for Sill

There was a sprinkling of women
with short hair and massive
oriental jewelry. There were
critics of all sorts Of shapes and
sizes who wore all sorts of eye
glasses and all shapes and va

them were accompanied by arts
