e Advent of Tea to En1and
Tea was not used to any extent in England
till i, boat the middle of . the seventeenth:
century, although knowledge of • the won-
derful qualities of the beverage had reached,
Europe asearly as 1517. During the seven-
teenth century, all tea was imported from
China, and cost from $25.00 to $50.00 per
pound. Not until, 1836 did any tea reach
England, from India; In that year the first
shipment was made from the now famous:
tea growing district of Assam.. India •to-
day supplies fully half the world's tea re-
quirements and provides some of the finest
teas grown. The rich body of " SALADA"
is due to the select India teas used in the
blend.

CHAPTER XV.—(Cont'd.)
"You have no home ties, then. You
are nbt married?"
"No. A man with the Yukon passion
in his veins doesn't incline that way.
I'm a lone man, and, as a rule, I don't
make friends easily. Now you—"
"I have made them," admitted Ran-
kin, "chiefly, I suppose, because I find
most folks very decent."
"I suppose time is not much object
to you just now?"
"Well,it is, and it isn't, I want to
make good, to set about getting money
as fast as I can. You talked of Ari -
Zone's redeeming hishomestead, poor
olzap. That's -what Is ni out after. I've
left a place at home mortgaged to the.
hilt. I've sworn to clear it under five
years."
"A fairly steep proposition .with
your present equipment," saki Affery
with a rather ruthless candor, which
was yet, somehow, entirely void of
offence. "Any women -folk left be-
hind?" he ventured' to ask.
"Yes, two."
"Those I saw an the boat?"
The samel answered Rankine, and
once more his face was turned away,
and Affery was made fully conscious
of the closed door.
But he did not resent it. He had
sufficient knowledge of men to respect
one who coulr'l lock the door of his
heart and lose -the key
"You haven't an idea pf what sort
of work you intend, • r want to take
up, I think you said?"
"None. Beggars can't be choosers.
I've been well educated at a public
school. I"know a little about the land.
I'm a good judge of horse -flesh. I
suppose I shall drift out West and
get on some ranch; but from what
u say, it doesn't offer muchp ros-

you, • but you can figure it out for
yourself—when two-thirds of the
population are in the position of need-
ing work, what are the prospects like-
ly to be? There are golden oportun-
ities everywhere out West, just as
there are in the Yukon, but none of
them can be exploited without money.
And you can't afford to waste your
time.'
"I can't," assented Rankine, a de-
spondent note creeping into his voice.
"I've been wanting to have this talk
since ever we met. But I was funk-
ing it—for reasons you can very, easily.
grasp. Then you think I've made a a
mistake, and that probably the best t
thing I could do would be to take the
first boat back to the other side?"
"I wouldn't go as far as that; but,
honestly, from what I know of the

erable deal—I've sampled a11, the

there's .a living wage, of course, but
nothing worth while for the likes of
you."
"Then what?—then what—?" said
Rankine, and turning full face on Af-
Eery, he; met his eyes in a gaze of
steady scrutiny.
"Well, what wuold you say to going
tooDawson with me, and giving the
first chance?"
The blood hammered in. Rankine's
veins, and reddened: in his cheek.
"You really mean that,. Affery?"
"I do—no 'kidding. I like you. I

said Rankine,'not hiding from him-
self or from his companion that he
was tempted.
But at the back of'his mind some
streak of sturdy Scotch caution, now
applied for the.first time, warner him
that he had not yet proven his man,
and that to risk all on this fascinat-
ing project, which might be nothing
more than the chimera of a wanderer's
dreams, would hardly be likely to fur-
ther the secret ambition of his soul.

asked Affery between. the 'whiffs of his
expensive cigar.
Rankine shook his head,
"You make me feel twenty years

had got a dose of H.L,$, for the first
time! Remember `Treasure Island'
"Never read it," :answered ;Affery
with his, densest look—a look which
sometimes descended on, his face like
a curtain capable of concealing every
inward thought. "Wbat is it, any-
way? I've never cottoned to reading,
though I've seen chaps taking care of
tattered little books in their pockets,

chap wants. The atufi I've read and
heard talked' about Canada since- I've
been home this time; the one-half lies,
and the other half needs editing,
whatever you call it."
"They don't write much about the
Yukon," said Rankine suddenly.
Affery smiled grimly..
"They can't.. Haven't I told you
silence is the law of the Yukon? And
that the man who samples it in the
esh has less to say after -it than he
ever had _in his life'before? The
Yukon's too . big and powerful and
awful for the piffiers. They let it
lone. Tell me, are you coming, or.
re you not, to Help me locate Ari -

minutes, his eyes following the:long

"The idea appeals to me, Affery.
You can see that it does. But I don't
know that I've a right to play fast
and loose with my ,chances like that.
You know what I'm out after. Do you
think I would have any chance of
making good in the Yukon?"
• (Affery hardly smiled.
T don't know anything about
chances. I've• told you the cold truth.
The money's there, and one day. or
another somebody. will get it—there's
nothing surer than that! You're a
straight man, and what isave I to live
fax anyway? If'I could help you to
redeem the homestead you've told me
of, and to bring the sun back to the
faces of those two women I watched
at Liverpool—well, .perhaps some _few
blotches !night be wiped off Aifery's
slate."
Rankine was moved, and showed it.
There were moments during- the last
few days when he had not been sure
whether his odd, but lovable compan-
ion, was quite normal. Here, however,
he saw him at' his best.
"You needn't be in a hurry," . went
on Affery, musingly. "You want to

— he tight of any man "who comes up

.row; black streak, not navigable,
tween its banks. If we get there

"But I shouldn't be earning any-
king in the interval, gild spending all
e time," suggested Rankine.
"That's so. But if you're earning
side of two months anywhere on
he other side you'll do well."
More than once Rankine had felt a
nd of cold premonition of disaster,
tening -to Affery's relentless sum- `--u
ng up of labor conditions on the
then. side. That he had had ample,
ns of proving all his contentions
s beyond dispute, yet, with the hope
at never deserts a man in his dark -
hours, Rankine tried to take short
d cheerful views.
And beyond doubt, though the pro -
sed scheme ,.appealed to the boyish
of adventure which is dormant

n sense bade him reject it.

tions, all of them alluring. The un-
quenchable spirit of adventure, of
which most men have a spice in their
natures,. had` been roused by Affery's
suggestion.

Town Planning, Its Pro;
gress in. Canada
The International Town, City, and
Regional Planning Conference field
this year in the pity of New York,
April 202i (the.first time in America)
was attended i)y delegates from twen-
ty-four countries, including Great Iii.
Iain, the United States, New Zealand;
and Canada. Canada wasrepresented
by Mr. W. W. Cory, C.M.G,, Deputy
Minister of the Interior, and the Town
Planning Institute of Canada by the
President, Mr, Noulan Cauchon, of. Ot-
tawa. `
Mr. Cory a his address recalled the
tact that Charles Dickens' once de.
Blared that he had systematically used
his art to show the preventable
wretchedness and misery in which the
masses of the people dwell and had
again and again expressed his belief
that the amelioration of the living con-
dition's of working people niest pre,
code all other reforms and that with-
out 'this reform all others must fail.
The science of town planning,. said
Mr, Cory, was based upon the.,desire.
to provide better 'home conditions for
the less' fortunately placed In life. Mean
streets produce mean people. Our
cities are more tjian celitres •of 'trade;.
they are, or should be, places where
utility, comfort and •beauty can be
found; places where the poorest may
find decent habitations and some
charm in the business of living.
Prompted Best Interests.
Ho believed that town planning held
out the promise of improving the hous-
ing conditions of the people; it made
for- a city, planned and controlled in,
the best interests of all the various
classes who compose its population..
It was, he thought, a significant fact
that chambers of commerce and
boards of trade of the North American
continent (composed, as they are, of
hard-headed businesnren) were among
the strongest supporters of the move-
ment.
Mr. Cory briefly reviewed the pro-
gress of town planning in Canada and
stated that of the nine provinces seven
had already passed town planning••acts
and: that in the two others there : was
evidence of a very active interest in
the subject. He gave special- attention
to that part with which he had been
most directly brought into touch, the -
planning .of improvements in the Caua-
dian National Parks in the Rockies.
The towns of Banff and Jasper, were,
he showed, laid out to fit into: and har-
monize with their scenic settings, the
plans of proposed, buildings, were pass-
ed upon
ass ed'upon to secure their suitabilityaand
provision. was made' for broad streets,"
good water, Iighting,: andrecreation
facilities: In planning these and other
town -sites in the parks, in laying out
the roads and trails to give access to
outstanding beauty spots, in the con-
struction of the famous Banff -Winder
mere highway, and other improve-
ments the principles of town and re-
gional .planning had peen applied so
far as possible -andwith . the ,most'
gratifying results.
Fish, Game, Fur and Birds.
Fish. Canada has easily the. .finest
inland fishing in the world, but these
splendid food and game fish require
plenty of clean, 'cold water • in the
streams In order to ensure prolific re-
production. Forest' ares destroy this
possibility by causing drought, erosion
and absence of shade,~
Game. -Game animals attract for-
eign tourists and induce Canadians t6
seek pleasure, health and,.adventure in
the great outdoors. Theseanimals
are distinctly a forest• resource—utter-
ly dependent upon it for proteetion
and food. 'Forest fires are therefore
very destructive r'
est e of
such h wild life.
The late Dr. Gordon Hewitt said:.. -
',Because of forest -fires and lack of
adequate protection, many forms of ...-
our wild Iife are melting away into a
memory of regret"
I`ue.—For hundreds of years trap-
ping has been an important primary
industry in Canada. Many thousands
of people depend on it for' as living
and the annual value, of the fur har-
vest is from 15 to 20 million dollars.
Generally speaking, north of a line
running from the Gulf of St. Lawrence ;W
to James Bay and on west to Rein-
deer Lake and th,e Llard River Valley,
the forests aredistinctly more valu-
able for their fur crop than for timber.
If this vast fur-forestwere protected
from fire and properly managed, it
could yield- several times the preset
"catch" in, perpetuity, as well as add-
ing to timber supplies.
'The trappers say "No self-respect-
ing wild animal will live in a brule
Their trap -lines always follow the
green timber.Fire prevention is es-.
sential to the success and prosperity
of our fur industry.
Birds:—Trees are the houses of the
birds --where they nest and live.Aside
from their beauty and th,eii• song, the
presence of birds is of incalculable
value in maintaining the balance of na-
ture. Their consumption of• -destruc-
tive insects and slugs saves the farmer.
and fruit grower hundreds of millions
of dollars a year. r
A great increase in the bird popula-
tion of the prairies ,has been noted
