Half heartedness never wins in this
world. If thing is not worth doing,
do not do it, is a good rule. The lnlss
Robert Louis Stevenson was always
an enthusiast in whatever he under
took, even when at play.
His stepdaughter, Mrs Isabel Strong,
who was for time his amanuensis,
says that Stevenson used to maintain
that no one could write good story
who was not a good player-who could
not enter fully into the spirit of u
game. He himself threw all his ener-
gies into whatever he might be play
ing.
At one time he was visiting house
where a small boy was playing boat"
on the sofa. When the lad got tired,
he did not wait for the ship to come
to port, but got down from the sofa
and walked toward the door
Stevenson. who was watching him
eagerly, cried out to him in apparent
alarm: 'Oh, don't do that. Swim at
least"-Youth's Companion.
