HOW MOODY BEAT A RIVAL.

NElOIIl the fNelllHS IoSl'J
On Saturday afternoon young Moody
was dispatched to make a collection
from an establishment whose credit
was under suspion. While on the train
he discovered that the representative of
another firm, to whom the same store
was deeply indebted. was Fastening to
the same place on the same mission.
\ continuous ride to the town would
break into Sunday, and 1t was one of
MIR. Moody's principles not to travel on
the Sabbath. 1t was necessary for him
therefore. to spend Sunday at some
point and resume his journey early
Monday morning. The other collector
did not have such scruples. but plan
ned 10 proceed, arrive on Sunday morn
ing, and thus secure his claim the first
thing on Monday morning. which would
probably have shut out Mr.. Moody's
firm. However. where principle was
involved Mr.. Moody never hesitated.
and yet his business pride was at stake
and it was rather hard for him to see
the other man win. Consequently he
determined to do what he could lcgiti-
mately. to get even chances. 1t
was In the early days of railway trav-
Ell and changes were frequent; so at
one of those changes Mr.. Moody and
his rival took n walk. and Mr.. Moody
cngrossed him so in conversation that
he missed his train, and thus both men
got to the town at the same time on
Monday.
