to the fact that several firms have been stor-

There several hundred cases at the stores

increasingly lighter. This is supposed to be
due to warm weather and the advancing OF the
season.

ceived from Rio, Florida, New York,
San Francisco, Vancouver, Sydney,
Melbourne, Cape Town, Johannes
burg-they never knew where to To-
cate him. Sometimes he found en-
ployment for a few months, then
seemed TO tire OF il, and moved on
to fresh fields and pastures new. To
his mother he wrote gaily, telling
of what he would have and what he
would do when he returned home,
thus keeping her hopes alight; to
Jimsie he would tell OF "streaks Of
bad luck" which on several occa-
sions resulted in n dip into Jimsie's
legacy-only loan, OF course, TO be
repaid when Ronnie came home,
laden with gold.
Meanwhile, the years brought
changes in the home life. Jimse
was a neat-looking, well-set-up young
man, in looks and stature not to be
compared to his handsome brother,
but with a kindly face and helping
hands that were better than beauty.
A situation had been obtained for
him in bank, where his careful
work and trustworthy character hid
earned the esteem Of his employers.
But the blow fell which placed the
maintenance of the home and the
care OF an invalid mother upon Jim
sizes shoulders. His father, appar-
emily hale and vigorous, died sud
denly; his mother, always delicate,
was scarcely expected to recover from
the shock.
Then Jimsie showed the stun he
was made Of, the true manliness that
was in him; he saw to everything,
arranged everything. When the
worst was over he devoted himself
with tenderest solicitude TO his
mother, he tried to be both son and
daughter to her. His legacy enabled
him TO try every known means to aid
