Now thoroughly alarmed, for the last

immediate aid
At home a short discussion was held be-

of this, Mr. Brody despatched the follow

Then came Henry s next telegram. "Of
course 1 do. Please send money at once
But the father still seemed dissatisfied

Henry felt that all his remaining money
would go for kilograms. He therefore
prudently sent the next one collect. "Have

The last appeal was successful. Money
was transmitted to the impoverished traveller

Finally, he turned his way homeward al

Somewhat sadly he entered the house with
his bulky sui+"ases.
Father was sitting at the table reading,
while mother talked with elder brother, who
was the "son' Of the firm. Henry ex-
pected an outburst Of joy to greet him but
everyone merely turned and nodded as
though he had been gone barely an hour.
He banged the suitcases the floor and
approached the table,
"Well, father, IN here!'
