Show Connciraice 31oney A little time ago I was going from Chicago to Cleveland. Three or four of us men struck up an acquaintance as they (I don't smoke) struck up a light in the smoking room. Each gave a little biography of his recent life. "I have been to Chicago," said Mr. A. B., "to collect some conscience money. A good many years ago I made an invention. It was stolen from me by some Chicago people. I spent much money in trying to get my righte, and did not get them. Two weeks ago I received a letter from the house in Chicago which had been manufacturing and selling my invention inven-tion saving that if I would come to Chicago Chi-cago I should hear of something to ray interest. 'I went to the place appointed and met a gentleman, who said: 'You are Mr. A. B.r 'Yes.' 'Our house hat for years been making and selling an invention inven-tion of yours. I have recently become a Christian. I know I have done wrong, and I want now to do all I can to right that wrong. Will yon please say how much money we shall pay yon for the wrong we have done you? I thanked him and said I wanted time to reflect. I took tho time and gave an answer. Turning to the cashier the gentleman said: 'Make out a check for so much' a sum double the amount I had named. That check was certified and I now have it in my pocket. I am glad to tell this incident for many reasons, one of which is that it tends to answer the charge that is frequently inade that being a Christian Chris-tian makes no difference with one's business busi-ness habits."
