Not the sinner and saint, for 'tis well* understood The good are hair bud and the bad ? ' are ' half good. Not the rich and the poor, for to count a man's wealth - ' You must first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud, for in life's little span Who puts on vain airs Is not counted a man. Not the happy and sad,, _Par~ the-swtfr flying years ? Bring eadh man his laughter anl each man his tears. No; the two kinds ' of people oil b. , earth I mean, Are the people wliio lift and the peo pr "pic w-ho lean."

I We have in mind rhe beautiful dec-] oration for the Christinas season. I '.i ^ The Editor made a 250 mile trip] through North Carolina lastt week, and not one of the Towns passed had more beautiful or colorful lights than Kings Mountain. To the Committee from the Men's Club and L. C. Parsons, of the Street Light Department, fwe congratulate you on the good work yon have done. Yes, when Kings Mountain does anything, ti's done rlghxr HOW DO YOU LOVE | YOUR CHILD? How do' you love your child? asks Mtldegarde Hawthorne, in an exchange, selfishly or unselfishly It is the mother who is the wise friend of her children who is the lov ing mother, who sees to it that their bodies are healthly and well fed. and K that ,tl)*y are' given proper training In ex^cise and good habits. who helps the young minds develop, and I. seeks to find the best type of school Ing for "each one of themp who does not insist that Tom shall go to colR-:, . lege or Will be a doctor or Kate star K ' at home. but who finds out whsit Tom and Will and Kate are best fitted for. and helps them to work for % that end. It is the mother who delights in seeing her children happy, not in seeing them indulged, and who can K stand noise and clatter when young t:. nerves are wild with Joy and must have expression, but who finds the BjV time , and takes the pains to insist on go ml manners, who loves her chil? dren. She may prate of sacrifices all f day, and pefhaps she may have sacrificed herself; but If she looks for fe ? reward and demands payment it was ? never love that prompted the secrfflce. It was a epaclal form of. s E Indulgence.?Hxchange. We react about a Jap hero named Mttllaki. No dcublvt his last name Is Rose.

"We're going to the Countess Llndenstrom's." Madeleine prepared to leave as Anatole gathered up the dresses she had pointed out. Just a short few days ago, the German U-boat officer had fingered them and smilingly remarked, "You might classify these as ammunition for the 8tockbolm frontier," That was aboard the packet that had brought her back from Porta The submarine had stoppod the ship in the North Sea for routine Inspection. One man had been taken off and Madeleine had seen the terror of the trapped In his eyes. She shuddered as she thought of the Incident and the Icy coldness In the officer's eyes as he questioned her about the frequency of her trips between Stockholm and Paris. In ten minutes 'they were at the Countess Llndenstrom's. Madeleine was evidently expected. Doors opened swiftly before her and she was ushered through rooms and long hallways.

We will appreciate K if you will allow us spatx in you paper to publicly thank each and everyone who had a part In erecting the beautiful | street lights for the Holiday season. She selected a gown and swiftly swung it over the lamp, matching its embroidered pattern with lines on the map. Scbaffer's assistant swiftly read off numbers, another assistant consulted the code book. A third raced the message to a chamber above looking out to sea, where an Ingenious semaphore device flashed Information of French troop movements to a waiting boat. On board the boat, the leaping. spark of the radio relayed the message to expectant headquarters In Berlin. The work was soon finished. Madeleine stated the price for her information. Major Scbaffer protested, then yielded with grudging admiration. "Thank you, Major.' Good-bye, gentlemen," Madeleine spoke and was gone. Madeleine's big sale for the following day was to a Baron, Karl Marwitz. He brought Lupita, a sultry creature from the Grand Hotel, to her shop. And Lupita had bought everything her pretty eyes lit on to the tune of 1,200 kronen. Marwitz was a newcomer to Stockholm. He was cultivated, poised, darkly handsome, but about him there was an air of something sinister, unhappy. Madeleine could not guess that he had seen her at the WTM 8 B' TB MM (V om the Grand Hotel to her shop. ' Casino the evening before, where she had been accompanied by her English friend. Bob. Bob was a gentle, blonde youth who had lost an artw In Vnwiw Ho *a h? Just another drifter In Stockholm. . It was soon apparent to Madeleine that the Baron Marwlti*s In- . terest was not for Luplta, but for herself. When she bade him goodbye, It was with the realisation that she would see him soon again. She Immediately summoned Anatole. ' "What do you know about him?" she asked. Anatole was a mine of Information on newcomers to the Swedish city. With spies and adventurers converging on Stockholm from eVery corner, the dty bad become a hotbed of Intrigue. And a market had been set up for Information, that most precious commodity In time time of war. It was a popular cafe, the Cherry Garden. Anatole, a habitue of the Cherry Garden, had the Information In a little book. "Karl Marwlts," he read. "Traitor to the Fatherland . . .deserter . . . oourt-martlaled during absence . . . cashiered . . . sentenced to death."
