Slight Tumble in Necessaries.

Apparently the prices of the necessi-
ties of life are coming down to accord
with the general falling off in incomes
Radium, for instance, which few days
ago was selling at $1,00O,000, has now
been marked down to 100000 pound,
and may go lower yet, if the Yale pro-

from the soil of the Nutmeg state

Home Duty Neglected.

The mother of one of the young
Chicago bandits spent much of her time
organizing boys clubs and doing SINH
lar work with the purpose of keeping
boys out of saloons, and was ignorant
of the life her own son was leading.
This is no reflection on the value of
such work, but it emphasizes the old
rule that the first duty of every parent
lies at home.

ed james Grayson In London a letter
with the address printed in childish
hand. He WAS puzzled and opened II.
In printed letters inside the first words
which caught his eye We're, Dear
Uncle JIM" A look that had been
stranger to James Grayson's face for
years was there for second. Then
there came sternness again. and the
little letter was crumpled and thrown
into the fire.
One day James Grayson read an
American newspaper lie looked at
the financial column 1t contained
news Of the loss In mining venture
of every penny Of the fortune of Robert
Grayson, millionaire, Chicago. Cou-
pied with it was the statement that
Robert Grayson was i'll.
What James Graysons thoughts were
after reading that announcement he
alone knows. He paced his room In
the London hotel for hours, and at the
end Of what must have been a struggle
with himself he was the same unfor-
tgiving man as before

A year went by. 1t was now nearly
twelve years since James Grayson had
seen his brother. Business called the
wanderer to New Orleans. 1t was an
imperative summons. He hated Amer
lea. In New Orleans he met a man
whom he had known In Chicago. The
man looked upon him as one returned
from the dead, and then blunderingly
spoke, saying: You know about Bob,
only enough to pay his just debts. Then
he became Ill, and | hear he ls dead"

went to his hotel, and from recess
In his trunk he took n packet of let
ters, selecting one. 1t was the last
letter his mother had written to him
when he was schoolboy. She had
written 1t just before her death.
James Grayson read: You are older
and stronger thar Robert and of 4
deeper nature. Look after the boy
when your mother is not here, for she
cannot stay long"
James Grayson paced his room again.
The next morning he left New Orleans
for Chicago. He reached the city ON
Saturday and went direct to the Off &C
of man who In the old days was a
friend of the family. James Grayson
was not recognized, for he had changed
much with the years. He did not ma Ike

EASY TO MOVE TO EUROPE.

Household Effects Can BE Transported
with Very Little Trouble.
In these days." said a storage ana
van man, at Is just as easy to move
from New York to London as from
New York to Hoboken Ones furni-
ture and household effects can be
transported across the Atlantic in vans
as easily as across the North River.
"of course, vans have long been
used here for comparatively long
distance moving by rail and steamboat.
1t Is common thing in summer. for
instance, to see teams ON the decks
of boats running to and from this
city They Just run the vans aboard
on their own wheels, and run em Off
at the other end of the line, and back
In the country, or wherever they want
10 take them
The vans used Ia transatlantic
moving are lift vans. They are really
van bodies and can be lifted from their
wheels and swung onto car of trans
portation by rail or down a hatchway
into steamers hold
"At the end of Its rail or water
transportation the van can as easily be
lifted off the car or out Of the steam
er's hold and swung upon the trucks
upon which it is to be hauled to the
house where the goods are to be put.
who are the people that thus cas-
ually pack up and move across the At
lantic? Well, they may be foreign
merchants who have been living in
this country, but are now going back.
They may also be Americans who are
going abroad to live
with the modern facilities for the
transportation of people and goods ev-
erywhere and the very great increase
Il travel there are now many people
Who. crossing the Atlantic for a more
or less extended stay. take their house
hold goods with them.
"Of course, there are people moving
IN this way all the time from Europe.
rs there are people moving thither
from here. and when we move any
body over we want, of course, freight
back; we don't want to bring our
vans back empty. and we move some
body this way.
''In some German cities there are
published weekly newspapers. or rath-
u extended bulletins, devoted to the
interests of the storage van men. In
those several publications you would
ind lists OF the vans to be had in the
,ity where the list was published and
other information concerning them, in
Guiding the name of the owner of the
van, where It was from, Its cubic ca
1acity, where it would be at disposal
md the name of Its agent or the rep
resentative of its owner, at the point
where this list was published.
''Foreign lift vans come filled with
household effects to American ports,
and through the representatives Of
their owners here they get return ship
aents, as American vans In Europe,
through their representatives there,
ret shipments this way

II is about as easy to move to Europe
as It would be to move into the next

Until that hour he had shared

Now he was leaving In anger that dis

eyes. Don't go this way, Jim," he
said, Il did net know; l never saw 1t,

"Stayi l hate you. Robert Grayson.
You call yourself my brother. and yet
you undermined me In the affections
of the only woman ever loved. hate
you, and I will hate you to all eterni-
~. You tricked me; you and the wo-
man. Ny hope Is that shall never see
you alive again"
"Jlm-" But James Grayson had
gone.
James and Robert Grayson, brothers,
had been companions from their ear
Hest boyhood. The elder, James, had
always been of grave disposition,
grave to sternness. The younger, Rob
ert, had disposition like the sunshine.
He was easy going believer In all
men and with love for his grave
brother that filled all Of his big heart.
Their father, William Grayson, had
died and left each a fortune. Their
mother they lost when James was IA
and Robert was 10. The brothers had
grown to manhood and each had fallen
In love with Helen Wright. The girl
was an orphan living with a superan-
nuated maiden aunt Helen taught In
North Side school. The Graysons
had met her through the medium of
a business matter which they jointly
had transacted for the aunt. James
Graysons love for the girl was like
his nature, deep yet undemonstrative
The girl knew--what woman doesn't
know when man Is In love with her
but she gave him no encouragement,
though James Grayson's temperament
made him think the lack of demonstra-
ton did not mean necessarily lack of
love. He had a certain confidence in
himself that kept him free from the
thought that his love might not be re-
turned.
Helen Wright held her heart for
Robert Grayson. He wooed her and
won her quickly. He was ignorant Of
his brothers feeling, and when he came
to tell the brother that Helen was to
be his wife he knew nothing Of the
blow that he was to infilct.
James Qrayson had taken Helen's
kindness to him as Roberts brother to
mean love. He made himself believe
that the girl had led him on, and that
his brother had undermined her affec-
tlons. His nature was one Of which
made him hold to fancied wrong as
one that was real, and so he left Rob-
ert with anger In his heart and with
something that was little short of a
curse on his lips.
This was twelve years ago James
Garyson left Chicago and went to Eu-
rope. he stayed in capital after cap
ital. He knew that Robert and Helen
were married. After the marriage he
had received letters from both, gentle,
entreating letters, but James Grayson
had closed his heart. He had taken
hatred into 1t, and had shut the door.
"I hate them both," he said to himself,
"and hate them always WILL"
The years went by. James Grayson
still stayed abroad. Letters came
from Robert, but they were unopened
