THE THREE B's
The Three B's Club had only one rule—each member was to try every day to be all three of the B's.
Usually it was quite easy to be one B. Often it was not so very difficult to be two B's. But to be three B's was many times very, very hard indeed.
The Saturday Ned Brown's father gave him the new catching glove was one of those times. Ned wanted to go out and try the glove. Just as he was starting, however, Mrs. Brown called him.
"Ned," she said, "the wood box is empty!"
Ned knew what that meant, but he remembered B Number Two in time to keep from frowning.
"All right," he called back cheerily, and went out, whistling, to the barn.
