And mind yer its the goods! National Plug, toasted,'the National Tobaccer Comp’ny’s make. I’d only just bought it, and if this here bloke ’ad lifted it l’d< a,-been left all day Sunday without a smoke. So I give ’im what for.” Combatant No, 2 had nothing,to say. He was nursing a black eye. Robert smiled. “Go home, both of you,” he commanded, and the pair faded out. “A mean trick,” mused the cop as he resumed his beat, “but National Tobacco Company’s stuff! reckon the temptation was too strong.” Other/ National Tobacco Company’s brands (all toasted) are Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3. —Advt.
