FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES No.7
The Advent of Tea oto England
Tea was not used to any extent in England
till about the middle of the seventeenth
century, although knowledge of the won-
derful qualities of the beverage had reached
Europe as early. 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. -

bered Affery's words,
CHAPTER XVI.
' RANKINE S PLANS.
"What's it going to be then, bass?"
asked Affery between the whiffs of his
expensive cigar.
Rankine shook his head. •
"Youmake' me feel twenty years
younger; Affery. Pratese)y as if, I
had got a dose of R,L.S.,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. . "What is it, any-
way? I've never cottoned to reading,
though I've seen chaps taking care of
tattered little books in their pockets,
and fight for a year-old magazine or
paper from England, as if it had
been a nugget. But if your 'Treasure
Island' is an 'adventure story, prob-
ably the bulk of it is lies. I've known

"They don't write much about the

Affery smiled grimly.
"They can't. Haven't I told you

that the man who samples it in the

ever had in his life before? The
Yukon's too big and powerful and
awful for the pifflers. They let it
alone. Tell see, are you corning, or
are you not, to help me locate Ari-

Rankine sat very quiet for e few
minutes, his eyes following the long
graceful line of the water, glinting
under the light of a young moon just
break[ng through the fleecy clouds.
"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.
"I 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 nave I to live

"I see you're not keen. Well, far
be it from me to Lead you by the

to his feet. "I've put the proposition
in front of you. I admit it's 'steep
and I can't make it any simpler or.
more palatable:. 'It's a chance that's
all. But I admit that it's onlya
chance that may very . well lead you

turally. You've got things at stake,
My stakes are all pulled out, 'Night,
pal! Shake."
They shook hands rather solemnly,
and when Rankine tried to voice his
thanks for the signal mark of confi-
dence his fellow -traveller had offered
him, Affery merely lifted a somewhat
weary, deprecating hand, and dis-
appeared.
I'm not turning in just yet," Ran-
kine called after him. "You've set
my thoughts whirling a bit, old chap.
I'll have to lick them into shape be-
fore I'm likely to get any sleep."
Rankine spoke n:tthing but the
truth there. .Indeed his thoughts were
whirling in a thousand new direc-
, 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..
To explore new countries—for
choice, such as are remote and inac-
cessibio—to take desperate hazards, to
seek a well-nigh impossible goal in the
face of danger and of death, these are
things which stir in the blood more
readily than any others.

furthering or thwarting destiny. He

him mightily. He felt within hint the
stir of elemental passions.
His meeting with Affery was
strangely on a par wth his meeting
with Carlotta. He had sought neither,
yet how mightily both had, affected
his destiny!
Yet the saner, more practical vein
in him assured him that, in declining
Affery's offer of adventure, he had
done well. The short cut to fortune
is not always the best, or even the
easiest in the long run.
When he got down to his stateroom
an hour or more later he found Affery
sound asleep in his bunk. A small,
red, tattered book he had been reed-
ing had fallen from his hand to the
floor. When Rankine stooped to pick
it up he observed, with a thrill, that
it was a copy of the New Testament.
He replaced it tenderly under Affery's
pillow, without disturbing the deep
and childlike slumbers of its pos-
sessor.

possibility by causing drought, erosion
and absence of shade.
Game.—Game animals attract for•

are distinctly a forest resource—atter-
