Clavering, Jim. Jim Clavering was created by Walter Frost (Jim Bannister, Ruggles) and appeared in ten stories in Flynn's and Flynn’s Weekly in 1926, beginning with “Mrs. Ralston’s Pearls” (Flynn’s, Apr. 17, 1926).

Jim Clavering is a bluff, hearty man with a problem. The woman he loves, Helen Armistead, was somehow involved in the theft of several jewels. Clavering, a veteran of World War One, feels the need to see the stones returned to their rightful owners, so that Helen will not be in any trouble. But returning the gems proves difficult, as there are criminals and police everywhere. Clavering manages, using his fists and guns when his brains do not prove sufficient, and discovers that Helen was innocent and that the thief was a friend of hers.
