I was, early in my career, a very small member of a very emall company. The opportunities to appear | | in public, which I craved so sincerely, were slow in coming. One day a new play was agnounced for rehearsal, and I figured that possibly I would be asked to play a part. So as not to be caught napping I studied care- fully male part in the play.

Possibly it was luck, or something synonymous with it, that brought this about, som ll say. Many times luck is only a synonym for ability allied to work. This argument is assailed by everyday hap- penings. Nearly every coterie of friends has a member who !s admired for the brilllancy and beauties of his mind.

Now, this same man in his own business works hard and perseveringly and fa! Ie this luck? No; for if you study the thing you will find his has been a series of misdirected efforts. The world is constantly suf- fering from these well-meant but misdirected efforts. On the other hand, a man delving and persevering in the right direction will suddenly find the roof carriea| & from his house, leaving him in the cold. But this man, if he is of the right sort, will, lke truth crushed to earth, rise again and regain his position. Of course, we all know the man who is successful with everything he touches. He apparently takes less pains with his business than most men do with their affairs of much less scope. “Oh, I'll trust to luck! he is often heard to ‘This is all very well in its way, but I belleve the safest way {8 to place no reliance in luck.
