No premiums with Salada but finest quality instead SALAM TEA 'Fresh from the gardens 9 TS Jun gle Breath Ben Lucien Burman THIS HAS HAPPENED: Lincoln Nunnally, elderly chemist, is summoned to the little town of Porto Verde, Brazil by his young frieiid, Vilak, who is concerned for the safety of his cousin, Elise Marberry, owner of P coffee plantation. Several mysterious deaths have occurred and Vilak believes Gaylord Prentiss, an enemy of Klise, to be involved in them. Tht-y visit Prentlss' house at night and are attacked by his huge dog. The next day Elise's two-year-old orphaned nephew is kidnapped. Vilak trails the kidnappers and finally comes upon the child being cared for by a gang of tion hands aren't housema ds. D'Al- bentara takes what he can get." "Which reminds me that I've got t do something for him to show my ap- preciation," Elise put in. "What'l! I send him?" "A little r wine is always welcome," the old man answered. "An excellent idea, Mr. Nunnally. "I'll send him over a case of my beat champagne, that Pommerey 1912, and some other wine for the men. They'll be glad to get a change from the dreadful stuff they dring here all the time. Better for them, too. If Vilak railroad workers, who have found it.! w jn be good enough to take it over fear of that, amigoe. The stomachs of my men are as iron. Good night." They walked toward the load. "I fel proud. Quite er . . . proud," the old man declared, as they plodded through the marshy turf. "You fell and I er ... didn't." Vilak chuckled. "Sorry to put a pin in the bubble of your self flattery, Nanny, but it happens that I slipped purposely in order to pull our Indian friend, the foreman, down with me." The old man looked bewildered. "But why should you want to do ... such a thing? You almost ruined your suit." "Ixx>k at this," Vilak responded. He withdrew a small object from his pocket und flashed his light upon it so that the other might see. It was a ring, consisting of a thin gold band, set with a large black stone. The stone was carved in the fashion of so much of the jewelry seen in the re- moter parts of the globe, jewelry crudely wrought but nevertheless masterpieces of craftsmanship, now depicting some mythical personage or animal, now a stiff conventionalized tree. In this inttarice the design con- sisted of what appeared to be a bird- like or perhaps fishlike figure with a single claw or fin. "Make anything of it?" "Er . . . nothing. Where did you get it?" "From the finger of the Indian fore- man. I saw it and wanted to study it at my leisure. I pulled him down and fell sharply on his arm so that the pain I was causing him would al- low me to wrench the ring away with- out being noticed." The old man brushed n mosquito from his scanty fringe of heard. "It In Careless Kiss Returning with the baby, Vilak grave- ly tells Elise he has bad news for her. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER XVI. "Bad news?" Anxiety was evident in Elise's voice. The old man, too, to them after dinner I'd be awfully grateful." "I'll be delighted," Vilak responded. "I have a particular reason for want- ing to go back anyway." After dark the two men set out on thuir horses again. Behind them rode who had been bent over in his saddle ,"nc of Elise^s ebony-facd servants, ... so absorbed that to the passer-by he driving a little cart which contained must have seemed asleep, looked up [one of the heavy stone jars used^ to with a start.

"But if you want to keep on beinjr happy you'll gt-t Tinky away from here ns I presents. one of the heavy stone jars use transport wine in the repion and n wooden case from whose cracks peep- ed fragrant wisps of straw. They reached the camp nnd delivered the quickly as you can. Take the boat that leaves here next week." Her dark lips tightened. "What do you mean?" "Pe.>ons don't steal babies merely for the fun of dropping them on the jjround. I don't know just what hap- pened this iiftc-rnoon, but as I told you I have a theory. And that theory prompts me to the certain belief that Tinky will not be safe until he is far from I'orto Verde." She (razed directly into his keen blue \i-<. "You're r ot telling me that merely to make me leave'.'" "No." She heyitated. 'Very well. I'll take him away. When the boat conic;; next Thursday. Hut as s<on as I have put him somewhere where he'll be safe I'll come back. I personally will not slay away from I'orto Verde. No mat- ter what happens. I belong here."

I tell you a/uin that your life is in danger every moment here and tlic dangers are increasing constantly. This affair of Tinky 's may be just a development of that. I don't know. But I've given up arguing with you. My only regret is that there is no way of getting you out of here before Thursday." It was dusk when they nenred the fax.cncla and the two spreading cas- tanhfi trees marking the entrance al- ready had liegun their medolioui whispering i" 'he evening breeze. "I don't like those Indians. Kr . . . Indian*," the old man remarked su:l- ili lily, after half nn hour's silence. Vilak looked at him amusingly. "What Indians, Nnnny?" "Those half breed and Indian labor- ers \\lio work for, er . . D'Allicntar.'i. Not nice faces, Vilak. Not nice. Kr . . . ratty.

Giving the jar of wine to his foreman to be distributed judicially amonjr the men, he opened a bottle of the cham- pagne and drank the health first of Elise, then of his gue-fts. They chat- ted about engineering, chemistry, the competition of the Brazilian railroads with the steam Ixmts and the question of which would eventually win out, the cruelty of the jungle and its weaken- ing effect upon the white man, the value of the jungle land when an ovev- populutcd world would have to reach out for new fields to supply its work- ers, the myriad motley subjects that nny three men of scientific instincts would talk about with a jungle en- circling them.

Rut the old man could not understand their loud, sometimes shouted conversation, for when it was not an Indian dialect it was usually some perverted Portu- guese patois of which be knew no- thing. The conversation of the whiie men finally drifted to the repairs on which D'Albentara was engaged. Vilak in- iliiircd whether he might see how they were proceeding with tho fill win-re the river lind cut dangerously into the iianks. The engineer gladly assented. Calling over liis foreman of the. enor- mous nose, who'-c breath now reeked strongly of wine, they walked toward the river'.s edge.

What are you getting so desper- ate about that little mosquito for? Are you afraid that he'll destroy that feeble trace of :. beard you're so proud of? Now I'm going to town for a few minutes, and then to come back to Ulise's to spend the night, again. Events are approaching a climax, I feel sure, and I want to be there every minute I can."

Too Many Children Expossed to Risk, Says Doctor PREVENTION NEEDED The Inveterate habit by which some people Insist on kissing children Is very Injurious, and is one of the chief ways of communicating tuberculosis, Dr. J.

The habit prevalent In somu coun- tries of removing footwear on entering the house, held considerable wisdom, he eald. The child during the first few years of big life was a floor animal and filth carried in on the shoes from the streets was likely to contain germs of disease which might result In his Illness. This was one of the most reasonable explanations of the de- velopment of colds, and yet mothers wondered how their children caught so many colc^s when they could not have got the Infections from the child- ren with whom they were playing. Most children became Infected with tuberculosis In childhood. Dr. Elliott said. Therefore, It was advisable for children to avoid the sick room or con- J tact with the patient. The disease could not be inherited, Dr. Elliott stressed.

There had been as many 3.9 78 patients In Toronto at one time during the Winter awaiting ad- mittance because of a lack of beds. Disease would remain, he said, so long as patients had to be cared for In the home. It was impossible for many patients to pay $10.50 weekly for care and of the patients In sana- toriums at present more than 68 per cent, were Indigent. The disease could not be wiped out entirely, but only by preventive mea- sures, he said. It was mistaken econ- omy to withold funds from the health department. Dr. Elliott estimated that the cost of caring for tho patients who died from tuberculosis in Toronto in 1928 was $237,000. That sum spent In preventive measures would go very far, he thought.
