I shall have failed in my design if the moral of this story does not tell itself. But if any one is troubled to discover the same, he may find it in two very short texts of Holy Scripture:
"He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much."
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might."
In these two Bible proverbs may be found the secret both of Eben's success and of Tom's failure.
THE END.
