This overbead bridge and highway did not juat happen, it came about after hard work on the part of local citlBCCOB, even after opposition, in fact The Herald was never very much in favor of the "inan-made mountain ,4 tout now it is really very attractive, and we ore glad It is here. THAT HOTEL Kings Mountain needs a hotei, and at least one half pf the money to build it will have to be local capital. If any group is interested in raising the bulk of the money, it should1 be up to the rest pf us to do our part, regardless of where the building is to be located. Interest has been at a high pitch for this much needed building for Kings Mountain, and now is> the time for everyone to get together and buili it or forget the whole matter. BEGINS AT BOTTOM AND WORK UP Business men say that young applicants for Jobs are not much concerned. about whether they learn the trade or business as. they are about how much salary they are going to be paid1. The most valuable man in an organization is tho man who bnows the business and the only way to know the business Is to begin at the bottom and work u p. There was a time when young men were interested in learning trades and in many trades they paid the proprietor to teach them. Certainly there never was a time when ignorance demanded1 such high wages. i THE WELCOME MAN Walt Mason There's a man in the world who is ?ever turned down, wherever he chances to stray; he gets the glad band in the populous town, or out where the farmers make hay, he's greeted' with pleasure on deserts of aand, and deep in the aisles of the -woodia; wherever he goes there is the welcoming hand ? he's The Jlan Who Delivers the Goods. The failures of life Bit around and complain; the goidb haven't treated them white; they've lost their umbrellas whenever there's a rain, anl they haven't their lanterns at night; men tiro of the failures who fill with there's one who is greeted with lovelighted eyes?he's the Man Who De livers the Goads. One fellow is lazy, nil wntchoii tho clack aivrii waits for the whistle to blow; and one has a hammer, with which he will knock and one tells a story of woe; and one, If requested to travel a mile, "will measure the perches and roods; but one does hlB stunt writh a whistle or smile?he' The Man Who Dellv ers the Goods. One man is afraid that he'll labor too hard ? the wcrld Isn't yearning for such; and one man is always alert, on his guard, lest he put in a minute too much; and one has a grouch or a temper that's fad, and one Is a creator? of moods; se it's hey for the Joyous and- rollocklng lad, for the One Who Delivers the Goods! mmzSSI -- THI Here and There . .

A fourth white feather he voluntarily takes from his fiancee, Ethno Burroughs, and leaves her. To redeem himself from the charge of cowardice he goes to Egypt, disguises himself as a native, and rescues the life of Durrance, who had been his rival ) for Ethne's love. Be then goes to the aid of Burroughs and WUloughby, who have been taken prisoner and chained in i the Mahdi's dungeon. Harry brings them a fue with which to ??t their chains and those of I their fellow prisoners, while Kitchener prepares to attack the Mahdi's forces by land and water. Chapter Six At daybreak the three EnglishMen In the dungeon heard the distant booming of guns begin. Hours ago they had severed their 1 ttem and those of their other prisoners Now they were impa. Hently awaiting their chance to ' Wad an attacks on their guards, i The sound of the guns grew Wuder. "How near are they, I wonder?" said Harry.

The command, repeated from fBlatoon to platoon, went around he British square in the desert . near Omdurman as the Dorviab line surged forward under a ruing cloud of dust.

Nearer and nearer they came . . . three hundred yards . . . two hundred yards . . . one hundred fifty yards. . . .

Again and again they reformed their linea. and savagely charged: again and again the British waited until they were almost at pointblank range, then unloosed their withering fire.

For awhile they seemed fairly safe; but reinforcements from the Mahdl's castle came swarming out, surrounded the Arsenal, and kepi up a steady fire that brought down any man who showed his head. Then the Arabs trundled a field piece up to the very door of the Arsenal and began pounding away at the heavy barred door. They'll be in here in a minute, groaned Favershom. "Looks bad!" A shell came screaming in from the direction of the river and burst ln the Arsenal square. "Its that blasted gunboat of ours," cried Burroughs. 'They're firing at the Mahdl's black flag.' Faversham rushed up to the tower to haul down the Mahdl's flog and - run up a white cloth. But on his way he found a pile of ragged banners and flags?trophies captured by the Dervishes. Among them was the Union Jack taken when poor John Durrance's company was annihilated in the desert. Harry seized it, climbed to the top of the tower in plain view, and while the shells from the British boat whistled by him and the Mahdists fired at him from below, he hauled down the black flag of the Mahdl and ran up the Union Jack. The last shell from the gunboat burst on the Arsenal roof below him, and Harry went hurtling down the tower step3. falling unconscious at their foot. A few minutes later Kitchner's guards and setfced thrtr guns. . - ' '' . victorious troops swept Into Om. durman, driving the fleeing Dei; vlshes before them.
