p BEGIN THE DAY RIGHT:—
Cause me to hear thy lcvingkindness
in the morning: for in thee do I
1- trust: cause me to know the wny
wherein I should walk: for 1 lift up
my soul uuto thee. — Psalm 143:8.
IT TAKES MORE THAN
PLEDGES.
5 We have learned from tgliat we be-
Jjeve to be reliable sources, that be
tween $5,000 and $6,000 in pledges is
due to the Concord Young Men’s
Christian Association,
'i - This money, we have reason to be
■ lieve. is from last year's pledges alone
and does not include the total for the
previous year. For that year too.
many of the pledges are unpaid.
Such conditions are discouraging to
officials of the Y. M. C. A. The men
who work to make the association a
§ real factor in the life of Concord are
handicapped when they never know
Whether they are going to have mon
!•■■ ey to pay expenses. It takes money
i "to conduct an ambitious program such
| ~as has been mapped out for the local
| « association, and it is nothing but fair
? that the public pay (fir the privileges
■ it derives from such a program.
If; - And aside from the actual work of
s " ■ the association, another thing must be
W considered. That is the physical
|; equipment of the association., AYhere
- else in Concord could equipment equal
£• to that in possession of the Ybe se
’ cured?
"■ Take (his week for instance. Mon
ip Z day night members of the ministerial
K *-association held their monthly meet-
' ing in the association building, cn
joy'ng a supper prepared on and serv-
U ede with Y equipment. Tuesday night
, a group of merchants used the same
building and equipment for another
banquet. Wednesday night men of
the Lutheran Church gathered in the
same building for a banquet, using
the Y’s equipment. Isn’t it right and
fe* " proper that the citizens of Concord
II should pay in some manner for the
, nse of the association?
; We do not mean that individuals or
KK organizations thus using the associa
fc. tion should pay directly for the ser-
H'.. vice. Rather we mean that the
R i members of these organizations should
K ‘ pay something When the annual Y
By canlpaign is made. ' Os course we do
Bfe; 'not mean just the organizations nam
, ed above. We gave them solely as an
... illusttatlon.
But it’s a fact that the public looks
sgl to the ,Y. M. C. A. as the community
Bfe : eent*r and it is right that this atti
tude should prevail. It is just as
|fe> right that the same public should be
K expected to pay for this excellent ser-
BBt trice. 1
Eg- TAke the equipment of the associa-
K tion its another example. Isist year
HR there were more than 250 folding
HbAIhiIM, in the possession of the asso
k eiatiou. Today there are just a few
K; than a hundred. The remaind
fe'-ar have bCen lost in traveling about
E the *Uy as they were borrowed by
,of jiersoUs and another.
m lii*} the i aasoCiation had 250
as neither example. Tinlay ; t
Kjfeas 118. These spoons have been truv
& ding about as have the chairs, and
"in rmZX sans
: ft, shat it can borrow things at the 1.
M.'C. A., but we repeat, the public
should feel also that it is it’s duty to
see that the M. C. A, gets ttoney
to purchase other things.
The Y. M. C. A. is filled with peo
ple every night. Its secretaries as g
rule work six days and six nights a
week. Hundreds of persons derive
great benefit from the association’s
work, yet we find the association in
need of funds.
This is not an appeal from the as
sociation for money. We have not
been asked to say anything about
this matter, yet we feel that it is of
such importance that it dema'hds im
mediate attention. Instead of asking
for money it would be more to the
point to ask persons in the city to pay
their pledges. If the pledges were
paid the association would have more
than enough money for its regular pro
gram during the remainder of its fis
cal year.
We challenge anyone to fill’d any
where in North Carolina a more am
bitious program than the one offered
in the local association. We do not
believe there is another association
building in the State that serves so
many purposes as does the one here.
We have not heard of an association
in the State that attracts more peo
ple from all classes in proportion to
the size of the town, that does the
Concord association. If the associa
tion were a liability there might be a
reason for lick of interest financially,
but it is decidedly an asset, despite
the fact that its secretaries are forced
to work in the face of a deficit from'
month to month.

WHAT WILL THE SENATE DO?
Senator Thomas J. Walsh, one of
the ablest lawyers in Congress, a par
ty man but for all of that a man of
sane reasoning and impartial verdict
when public questions are at stake,
tells the Senate Judiciary committee
that it should investigate the Alumi
num Company of America to deter
mine whether it has violated its con
sent decree of 1912.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is
one of the largest stockholders in the
company which is owned by Republic
cans. For that reason it is interesting
to await committee action. If Dem
ocrats owned the company the Re
publicans would be quick to investi
gate. Will they do the same thing for
a company controlled by Republican
Mellon?
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
NECESSARY, SAYS SINK
Tell Prison Reform Advocates He
Will Not Aid Movements For Its
Abolishment.
Asheville, Feb. 3. Addressing
members of the Asheville Prison Re
form aseociation, and a large group
of 'interested citizens at the home of
Mrs. Charles Malcolm Platt here to
night. Pardon Commissioner H.
Hoyle Sink announced flatly- to the
organization that he would in no
wise aid any movement in North
Carolina which had for its object the
abolishing of capital punishment.
He declared that it is necessary to
the civilization of the state in -4ts
present era. declaring that it is im
practical to expect that the lessening
of the punishment will lessen the
crime.
On the other hand, he looks upon
the death chair as a decided deter
rent. Although the subject of his ad
dress had not been kept in the
dark, the frankness with which the
pardon commissioner stated his
views to what he knew was a decid
edly hostile gathering caused con
siderable surprise. Members of the
association, admitting before the
meeting that Mr. Sink was decidedly
hostile, though flat perhaps tney
would be able in some way to softgh
his views.
During the discussion which fol
lowed the address by Mr. Sink many
things were pointed out to him with
, which the reform association sought
to establish their arguments. Just
how much impression these argu
ments made on the pardon commis
sioner was tonight left to conjecture.
Small Riot is Started Over t harfotte

St. Petersburg. Fla. Feb., 3— A

in Ralph Hood's corner threw in a
towel in the tenth round of a boxing

holding his own and each had won
three rounds. The best derision
this stage was admittedly a draw
and ringsiders expected the fight to
go on through.
The towel, however, caused the
crowd to rise up in ire and police
protection was necessary to get the
second away in safety. Hood, by

THEODORE HOVEYCtTT
PROVES HIS INNOCENCE
Officer Who Escorted Him to Ral
eigh Hoping to Get S3OO Reward
Leaves Without Anything.
Raleigh, Feb. 3—Theodore Honey
cutt, Wilkes county boy who was
brought here to answer charges of
felonious assault on a woman, ac
quitted himself in a second and his
official escort, who came here to get
his part of a S3OO reward, went
back to Wilkes without anything.
There is a Theodore Honeycutt, of
Wake, who is jointly charged with
Waddell Richardson. They are ac
cused of attempted pssault on Mis?
Mildred Broughton, of Wendell, who
charges that she solicited subscrip
tions! in a contest, and was asked into
their ear to write a receipt, then
taken to the country and the felon
ious attempt made. She declared in a
•statement that she took the switch
key from the car. threw it away and
left the boys. They also tied and
have tieen -heard from only a few
times.
Honeycutt, the alleged offender
happens to bear exactly the same
name as the. innocent Wilkes county
man who proves his character and
hi»s innocence in a minute. The Wake
Honeycutt’s father was here to give
bond, but he did not know the
Wilkes Honeycutt.
Officer Buck Swhin. who felt t^*n-
sonably sure of at least $l5O of the
S3OO reward, had hardly enough
mopey to take him back home after 1
the expensive trip. It so happened 1
that young Theodore Honyeeutt, of 1
Wilkes, had been away from the
county and this crime in Wake was :
commit red when he was not at bomb.
There is no doubt in the Wake of- '
fleer's mind that the boy is entirely 1
innocent.

bund: but she has thereby tn
turred the rage of her Apache
trotherdn-laio, Emile, who tracks

CHAPTER V—Contir d
"It’s Emile,” Colette went on.
*Oh, how did he trace me here and
rhnt is going to happen? I’m
ifraid, M’sieu. I’m afraid!” She
trembled violently, and Michael
»ut his arm ardund her.
"Don’t be alarmed. We will clip
Emile’s wings in a very short
shile.”
"You don’t know him,” she cried.
"He stops at nothing! I must get
home, though, to see if he has
taken Billy away.”
“Then I Will go With yon. There
Is my car driving up now. But,
first let me telephone for a mo
ment Bye the Uye. what Is your
address?”
Colette gave It to him, and he
went out foi- a few minutes.
“All rendy?" he asked on his re
turn. “Then let us go!"
Emile was not to be seen as they
walked out to the car. Probably
"lurking In the shadows somewhere,
Colette thought, and he undoubt
edly would follow her home. As
long as Michael was with her she
felt safe, but what would happen
after her new friend had left?
Wheh they arrived nt her apart
ment. Colette dismissed the wom
an who had been watching Billy.
There was a flash of Emile's
| knife in the air.
Then, at her invitation, Michael sat
down. He was depressetj. hy the
poverty revealed by the furniture
and other things. But he dlso saw
the neatness, the tidyness, the
scrupulous cleanliness.
"Our little home Is very differ
ent from yours, M’sieu," Colette
said with an apologetic little
Ahrug. “Nevertheless, it is home
‘ So us. and we love It."
"Rightly so,” Michael answered.
“Ml wager that you and Billy have
many a romp In this room, eh?”
"Indeed We do, and it is then 1
forget my years and act like a
child.” she laughed, “for I g>t down
on the floor and Billy rides all
arouhd the room on mv back. If
you will pardon me for aNnoment,
by the way, I will see.*lf Billy is all
right.”
Lighting a cigarette, Michael set
tled himself In the least uncom
fortable of the rickety chairs. An
odd situation for him, he reflected.
Rich idler—Prince of the Blood—
sitting in a girl’s apaTtrbeht in a
questionable neighborhood, with
the prospect of a brutal Apache
arriving at any moment! Yet,
Michael had come of his own ac
cord.
Why had he come? Evade it as
he might, the answer loomed large
ih his mind—Colette had wormed
herself Into his thoughts more than
Ahyhody else he bad ever known!
I “Come, come," he castigated
hlmsfelf. “am I falling in love with
a little gamin who danced into toy
, Site from nowherA? Why, I’ve only
! known her for a tew hours! 'Yet—
She Interests me—and thete’s
. something about her, too, an un
, descrfbable something that makes

j Blit Michael’s soliloquy was sud
denly Interrupted. The floor lead

CHAPTER Vt
Emile Stepped into the room
with his slinky jdbgie tread; so [
stnisterly. so insidiously, that in
the scant and grotesque light of i
the sordid little he seemed to j
be a Mephlsto who might easily
hate melted through the wall had <
the door been leaked. He glared j
evilly at Michael With eggshell \
eyes of a peculiar laoklußtre blue i
that seemed to transmit no light ]
from within his skull, but to reflect ,
indirect and baleTul beams from
some miniature lumps hidden un
der the thick, hairy oVerhang oi ,
his ridged eyebrow#:
Michael arose and returned \
Emile’s look, eye for eye, with an i
outwardly affected cool uncon- j
cern that he was far from feeling; ,
not that Michael lacked strength i
or courage, but there was an un- j
healthy hint of Sewer slime, an ,
aura of gross evil, about Emile i
that stirred subtle apprehensions. [
Colette, coming out of Billy's
room on tiptoe, went suddenly <
back on her heels like a stricken
boxejr and screamed a little when
she caught sight of Emile He
turned upon her; she was prey
mots to his talents.
"Where is Billy?" he leered ven
omonsly.
"Why—why—in bed asleep, of
course. Where else would he be
at this hour?”
“Sacre, girl! Don't ask me ques
tions—just answer mine! Wako
him—dress him—-I’m taking him
now, tonight—”
Fear chalked Colette’s face with
the dead whiteness of snow' upon
the riverbank of a painted winter
landscape. “Why where —Where
are you taking—him—?" she stam
mered miserabjy.
"Why? —where?—how?— ” Emilo
chanted in mocking brutality, j
“None of your damn business, you
little sneak! He’s my child.' and
I'm going to take him away—lot
good.”
He thrust his dark face close te !
Colette, who gasped and Shrank
away. At this, Michael stepped
forward and gripping Emile by a
shoulder jerked hint around so
that they stood breath to breath.
"One moment. Monsieur. It is
■ a rather strange proceeding for
j an obviously worthless scamp like |
you to take a four-year old child
; out Into the streets of Paris at ;
midright! This girl. Who has !
raised him and fed him. supported '
amt mothered him, has a perfect I
right to question your intentions.'
Emile, with an relish squirm
sidled out of Michael's grasp
| “Who the devil may you he. M'sieu."
| to interfere between a father and
i his child?"
j "My identity is of no concern tc
! you. unless yen force me to make
it so. you surly brute. Enough for
Von to know that I am here to pro j
tect Colette—and that I know you
till'd to steal my emerald!"
Emile was the perfect picture ot
a cornered rat: and, rntlike. ho
took his defense in momentary
stalling—while one hand moved
slyly toward tbo knife hilt in his
sash belt and his knees Hexed for
a spring.
"What's your game, anyway, you
damned aristocrat! Your kind
don’t pick up with poor working '
girls for nothing—but 1 suppbao
you want, and she”—Jerking hta
head toward Colette—"is rott&n
onough to pay. the usual price!”
i Michael's flailing Tane was toe:
iate to stop the flash of Emile's
knife in the sir—too late to aryesl
the Apache's fprward leap. But It
did throw Emile off balance jurt
onough to make the deadly blade
slice hhrmlessly past its intended
marl; in Michael's throat.
Another lusty swish of the cane
and the knife dropped to the floor
out of Emile’s paralysed hand. But
Emile was not done; casting him
self agilely upon the floor on his
unstricken hand, he shot one foot
toward the point of Michael’s chin
— the deadly trjfk boxing kick oi
the Apaphes.
Michael escaped that lethal
stroke by an evan narrower margin
than he had tha knife.
He ducked but not enough
to entirely avoid the kick, which
struck him a’glaucing blow that
sent him staggering away. Swift
as thought Emile was on his feet
with the knife in his hand again -
Colette caught and clung to his
arm and her pluck Saved Michael’s
life. Before the cursing Emile
could shake her off, Michael's head
cleared; he leaped forward and
crashed his fist against Emile’s
jaw, knocking him down and out.
Even as Emile fell, Colette snatch
ed the knife -from his hand and
cowed away with It—Emile would
not g#t It again, she was resolved I
"Colette,” Mlenael panted, “the
shade on tliat middle window
raise and lowSr it slowly, twice—
please!”
Colette did so in wonderment,
