Then from the back a spectre rose. Unwanted guest; their spirits froze. “Aye, Spirit of Failure, though I Ik. Still, 1 shall choose all those Who cannot stay within your folds.” Then it faded as it came. And dimmer grew the hall. But as it faded from our sight, A crash, a flash, and cross the sky The lightning seared the words. SUCCESS FOR .ILL WHO STRIVE —Hazel Ray. t D]
