its birth gave the necessary charm to
her impersonation of a living, suffer-

the end. In that triumph the whole
of lvontankind was vindicated against
the belittling of fools.
Next day Carlotta attended two re-

slips, Madox had no fault tee find She
was Simply introduced to the rest of
the company as. the lady who was..to
take Miss • Fancourt's place, and,
while curiosity was rampauit, none
dared to put a single question.
At twenty minutes past six that
evening Carlotta was on the platform,
at St. Pancras station, to meet the
Scotch express. From it alighted
Alan Rankine, and when he saw 'Car-
lotta he simply darted to her side.
"Carlotta! This is very, very good
of you," he said, as he took both her
hands.
"Oh; nonsense! You knew I would
come—but where is Judy?"
"Judy was not ready. I am afraid
she will only manage to come in time
to say good-bye. Well, where are
you staying?"
Carlotta told him.
"A Bloomsbury boarding-house!"
he echoed,; doubtfully. "I'm afraid it
Hasn't a prepossessing sound."
"Oh, but it is a very nice place,"
Carlotta answered him. "You will
goto the hotel, I suppose?"
"Yes, right here. I wired for a
room, You will stop and dine, won't
you?"
Carlotta assented, having expected
that such would be the program. .
Though the hotel .was full, they
managed to get a small: table in a
remote alcove of the nig dining -room,
where they could talk to their• hearts'
content.
Alan Rankine had not asked any
questions regarding Carlotta's journey
to Lont1OD, chiefly, perhaps, because it
fitted in so excellently with all his
plans. To have her for these last Yew
days, away from the prying eyes of
the little town, was surely .good!! And

There are two distinct types of tea, namely
Black Tea and Green Tea. Both are made
from the same bush and both are equally
' pure. The difference is in the process of
manufacture which gives each a different
flavour. Black Tea after it is plucked is
withered and partially `fired' or dried:, then
allowed to oxidize by being exposed to the
air. This gives Black Tea its dark reddish
colour when drawn. Green tea is immedi-
ately steamed after plucking, which pre-
vents oxidization. There are delicious blends
of "SALADA" in both of these types and
also a unique blend of Black and Green Tea

Love Gives Itself
THE STORY OF A BLOOD FEUD

CHAPTER XII.—(Cont'(.).
"Did you write this? Is it your
own play'?" Carlotta asked, with a
little thrill of awe in her voice.
"My first. my one ewe lamb—at
least, the: only one I've ever had the
courage to venture on, and it was too
bad of Viola to play me this trick.
Of er iso, she did it on purpose—
but that is a story one can't go into

~ Carlotta rose to her feet.
"if 1 can do it I will. I'll go now,
and you may expect me hack punctu-
ally at three o'clock,"
alesiox suffered her to go without
further parley, though, after she was
gone, an odd feeling of helplessness,
a kind of blind fury with himself,
left him in thrall, Be had surely
been guilty of a stupendous act of
folly, and if Carltta accepted—as his
inner consciousness aesured him she
probably would—what more certain
than that disaster awaited the pro-
duction of "The Searchlight"?
If there was a more thoroughly
miserable and anxious man in the
whole of London than Graham Madox
he would have been difficult to find?
Punctually at three o'clock Miss
Carlyon was announced once more,
and Madox was conscious of a thrill
of excited anticipation as he rose to
receive her.
Much alight depend on that mo-
ment, perhap.-. his own reputation as
a dramatist, wbich he was about to
put to the public test for the first time.
"Well?" he asked, with a somewhat
startled glance at the small, "browm-

arm.Carlotta laid it down On the desk.
"I can do it."
"You cat ---sure?"
"Sure; if you rill trust nae so far!
1t is a beautiful thing. If I had
been given choice in the whole world,
I could not have asked for anything
better. Let me de it. I know I can!"
It was the right note to strike with
a man in the throes of a nervous
'apprehension. Her calm confidence,
her shining eyes, her air of lofty pur-
pose, inspired him and gave him both
courage and hope.
"You've been sent to me at the
crucical moment, I don't doubt," he
said in the dull tones of a man who
fells ruther deeply what he is saying.
'"Let 118 talk it over."
"It is a beautiful thing," repeated
Carlotta, as her hand dropped, with a
caressing touch, on the folded paper.
So beautiful that it will be an honor
to hap to give it to the world. If

CHAPTER XIII.
With Alan in London.
For the next hour Carlotta and
Madox were busy going over the de-
tails connected with the production of
the play.
It was only when .at length. she
rose to go, because Madox, pknying
in another piece that evening, could
spare no longer time, that she prof-
feredwhat was, to her, a most im-
port request.
"You must find a name for me;Mr.-
Medea. I don't want to use my awn'
"For your father's sake, I sup-
pose?"
"Partly—and partly for other Tea -
sons I can't go into here," she an-
swered, with a faint heightening of
color "I shall write to my home peo-
ple to -night, telling them I shall not
be able to return in a day or two, as
I expected. Probably, if all goes well,
they will leave Scotland, and come up
to London to be with me."
"We shall find a name without dial-
culty, and we shall keep the secret
intact. I shall not give Miss Fan -
court the chance of larowing what I
mean to do, and, as far as possible,
I will get the rest of the company to
fall in with your plans. They are
ready, to a man, to stand or fall with
me this time; and they lire all furious
with her. If we score the success I
think we are going to score, she will
yet be sorry about it!"
"Is she playing with you now?"
asked Carlotta, as she said good-bye.
Madox mentioned the name of the
piece, and gave her a pass for the
stalls.
He played for her that night, and
though the piece was not one in which
his powers had justice, it interested
Carlotta immensely to study him on
the stage. It seemed to give her
some sort of key to what she herself

rlculcar•01 scope of soma-impol(:al 55
may not unreasonably be expet:tete
and without undue optimism it is pos.,
sibte to anticipate the time wban, af-
tor experiments have proceeded
through further. stages and adtlltional
data is'obtainee, British. Columbia will
be producing sweet potatoes in some
quantities, at. least to a'sufficiout ex-
tent to 'obviate the voliiminous- im-
portations which aro taking place at
the present time. The experiences of
the peat few years are narrated by
James H. Mitchell, Who has been an
assiduous and entjiusiastic experiment-
er. .
Itis own experiments cover ' two
years, and are modestly given only up-
on request. Whilst lie hes gained con
siderable knowledge of the crop, he
feels that a aompleto practice for the
growing of sweet potatoes, in this sec-
tion of the Pueblo Coast Province Inas
not yet been worked out. The United
States practice has to be modified to
meet local conditions, and only by fur-
ther experllnentatiou does hefeelthat
the various p00111enrs-yet confronting
growers will be overcome, ,
In the year 1922 eevehabsettlers in --
the Oliver district secured plants of
the Nancy Hall variety which thrived
in a gratifying manner end yielded
(mite heavily, Unfortunately they
were not able to successfully bring
seed tubera through the winter, so
that they faced the spring witdhout
seed. The possibilities of the sweet
potato as an interplanted crop to wee
until the young orchards of the cite -
tract came Into bearing were of suc0
interest and. value that there wars no
question al discontinuing the expert -
merits,.
Results of Experimentation.
In 1923, therefore, further seed was
ordered feom the United State„ this
proving upon arrival to be Porto
Rico. The plants were grown In
greenhouses and plantings made from
the last week in May and throughout
June. The yleid from about 2;500
plants was found to bo in the .neigh:
borbood of one pound per plant, or
rather better than the United States
average of 110-50ib, per acre.
Experiments were continued with a
number of varieties diving the 1924
S008031, andpast experience encour-
aged a considerable widening in the
eaale of effort, Iii the fall. of 1923
seeds of various moist or sugar varie-
ties and of the dry, or Jersey, yule -
ties were secured and came through
the winter in first-class shape. In all,
some 13,000 plants were set out. The
1924 _season was an unusual' one for
the Oliver district, featuring extreme
heat, a high wind storm 10 July and
cool spells later. All crops were con-
siderably affected In growth and yield,
the sweet potatoes, which require a
clear 100 clays of growing season, be-
ing naturally very seriously ,retarded.
The various Jersey types yielded a
very small crop of, marketable sweets,
and as a good proportion of these had
been planted, the average was very
much reduced, The three moist varie-
ties, however, yielded' at the rate of
half a pound per plant of marketable
potatoes. "At from 8,000 to 10,000
plants per neve, at this rate of yield,"
writes Mr. Mitchell, "sweet potatoes
would be quite profitable to 5000, the
price prevailing in 1024 being seven
cents per pound f.o.b. Oliver, 13.0."
The Advantages of Fertilizers:'
Mr. Mitchell believes that even the
ceaui'rerlea of such 1010 uusatisfnctory
year as 1924 could be considerably
mitigated by the judicious use of Copt
merclal .fertilizers, and experiments
along these liner, -aa•e to 0e coaducted
in the present year. Tho greatest 510-
acuity experienced seems to be In sae-,
ing seed over the winter. So far no
diseases have. made their appearance.
Altogether the past two years have
resulted in. th out ulsition of much vale-.
able information i,e the subject, and.
growers, feel they are on their way
towards.•'eaching a reasonably sue
seessful and certain method of produc-
ing sweet potatoes in paying quanti-
ties in this section of British Columbia.
The addition of such a crop to 13ra-
fish Colurnbin's annual protection
would be distinctly valuable - from
many points of view, .Disregarding
the- possibilities of export there is a
