Olsen flung a grensewoed shrub en n

dictive desrre for vengeance were nt

would tend te incriminate Hull, and he
was afraid te bring it te the light of

man en horseback watched him. On
that sullen face Klrby could rend fury,
hntred, circumspection, suspicion, the
lust for revenge.
The mnn'n anger barked nt Lane.
"AVcll. what ou waitin' for?" he asked

"Nethin. I'm gein new." He

The Greatness That Endures
Ever since the world began, te one No'ameunt of denial or doubterdetrac
miwc iiuuikj' iiicii uiiu U.11.1UI13 nave
ceaselessly aspired.
With eyes fixed beyond the foreground
of temporary triumphs, men seek the
greatness that endures.
In statecraft, in art, in literature, in
science and in industry, the goal
is eternally the same.
Superficial brilliancy, the might of a
moment, is cheap and plcntifureneugh.
Profound achievement, the leader
ship that lasts, is lone and priceless as
the stars.
F.'ery day of every year a builder rises
whose work bears the premise of
greatness.
But the brief success, the single and
sensational effort, never is sufficient
evidence of genius.
Only by sustained achievement ever a
period of years is the title te greatness
established.
Once in a generation, perhaps, the true
and unmistakable leader appears.
Boldly, his work forces itself in upon
the consciousness of the world as mas
terful, fundamental, unique.
tien, no testing passage of years, dim
his original greatness tn the slightest.
Steadily, the evidence of his genius
grows, and the renown of his name
grows with it.
The whole eager sentiment and sup
port of the world unite triumphantly
behind him.
The world lauds his leadership, but
mere than his leadership it admires the
dependability of his powers, the assur
ance that it can definitely count upon
them as a standard for the werla te
fellow.
Applauding the leader, the world ap.
platids itself the undying fire in itself
which lights the age-old quest for en
during greatness.
Great names of all time, in every
sphere of human effort, all knew the
reward of eminence and all bear wit
ness te the eternal truth.
The genuine leader cannot die. His fame
is immovable and immortal as thcrecks.
He lives steadilyen, he survives becausa
the power of hi3 work is permanent.
True greatness inevitably endures.
Enduring achievement alone is great.
