The grizzled veteran smilingly accepted a fill from his neighbour's pouch as the express gathered speed. He puffed appreciatively. "Smokers are better off out here than of old," he remarked. "I remember when there was no cut tobacco here. Nothing but plug, and you could take it or leave it. But I say, this tobacco of yours is all right! Wonderful country, America!" "That's not American tobacco you're smoking," said the other. "That's New Zealand grown and manufactured. Better than American, I reckon. Harmless, too.
