A splash! He went flat in the dirty hole. But the hand that
had nailed the fly never touched the ground. He waded out,
covered, with mud and soaked to the hide, two facts of which
he seemed unaware, because he had caught the fly and
had held it.
, Some hoys would have started for the ball and stopped at
;the edge of the puddle. Some others would have lost it
when they fell. Dick held on.
That particular ball game soon will be a forgotten affair,
or at the best only a memory. But we can picture Dick when
he gets into the real game of life, as being classed among
' the star players. He will not look for the little unpleasant
things but will hurl himself at the ball and hold on for dear
life. lie may fall in the mud he may even have to be

One great affliction of so many of us is the tendency to
first look for the puddle instead of the ball. And by the
time we have figured out every little chance against a suc
cessful catch, the ball is gone.
When the ball of life is batted into your field, grab it.
