When Bob Fitzsimmons arrived in CHI
cago fresh from his victory over Jim
Corbett In Carson City. In 1897, he stayed
at the Auditori um hotel, and there met
the late ID. L. Moody for the first and
last time. Fitzsimmons was the guest
of well-known raoe-torse owner. and
he, with a party of men, was talking
over the fight with Corbett, when q sud
den burst Of music came In through the
theatre door leading to the lorg hallway
of the Auditorium.
"what's the doingf" asked the prize
fighter.

81 would like to meet that chap. as i
have heard u lot of about him." said Fitz-
simmons.
A few moments later the prize fighter
and his friends were walking through
the corridor Of the hotel when Mr. Moody
came hurrying In from Michigan avenue
on his way to the service.
THAT'S the big preacher" said one Of
the party. MIR. Moody halted for mo-
ment on hearing this remark and smiled
In q pleasant manner. Promptly the
horse owner led the prizs-tghter up TO the
famous evangelist aud said' Mr..
Moody. this is Mr.. Fitzsiminons. who has
Just whipped Jim CotDstt out west, ana

"Mr. Fitz simomns. how are you, sir?"
said the evangelist ~ hope we shall
see you at the meeting. We ars having
rousing good times. Come in, gentle
men, | blleve you would enjoy It," And,
with n ware of his hand, Mr.. Moody was
OF down the hall, leaving the prize fight
sr and his friesds looking perplexed.
"Wsll, he ain't half bad, is hes' re.

Forthwith the party entered the theatre
and occupied seats In the rear OF box.
All but FitzsimInons seemed 60 weary OF
the sermon, but he stayed until the last.
A day later he again met Mr.. Moody in
the hotel. and, interrupting the latter
while he was talking TO a party OF
friends, he said: 81 was with you yes
friday, and l enjoyed the talk" and
Bob, like blushing schoolgirl, hurried
away.
"What q wonderful man he would be
II he would tend his efforts toward fight

fellow-men," was the remark of the
evangelist as Fitzsimmons hurried to-
