GIVE TO THE REO CROS8
The time is fast approaching for
the annual Ked Cross roll call, and
nd citizen "of the county should neglect
this opportunity to give something
to a worthy cause by enrolling
In this, organization. The Red Cross
renders vital aid to citizens In this,
cominhnity year around, and is deserving
of the support of every citizen
in Kings Mountain.
A GOOD COACH?A GOOD TEAM
A couch shows his ability by taking
raw material and working it into
a smooth-operating. efficiently
functioning machine, anl the flue
work which' Coach Cllne Farthing
has done at the high school is revealed
in the vast improvement
which lias been made jn ?the high
school fitottoall team. Already having
won lour games the team goes
up against 9 strong Forest City
team Krida.v. Whatever the outcome
the boys can be counted on to turn
In a good performance. We feel that
the citizens of the Best Town in the
State should attend as many of the
remaining games as possible, to
show their appreciation.
NEW BEGINNINGS
Every morning is a new beginning |
1?every day ? another chance to
prove yourself as you wo on yobr
way ? another opportunity to show
What you are worth. Each time God
paints a dawn upon the dark and
sleeping earth. Calamities will come
?you may be sure of that, mv
friend, it's life?you never know
what's waiting Just around the beno
Hut these are only challenges to
put you to the test?to tace them
with a trusting heart ? and He will
- do the rest. And if you fail or falter,
or weaken by .the way:?look up ?
don't despair. God always sends another
day.?Selected.
A SWARM OF WORDS
The Frenchman was disgustet'
with the English language. "For example,"
he remarked, "take the
. -word 'crowd.' This means a lot of
people. That Is easily learned i>v
b crowd of ships is termed a fleet,
while a fleet of sheep is called a
flock; on. the other hand, & flock of
girls is called a bevy, and a be v..
of wolves called a gang, white a
gang of fish is called a shoal. A
shoal of bullocks of buffaloes is
called a herd; a herd of soidi'.-rs i.called
a troop; a troop of partridges
is called a covey; a covey of beauties
is called a galaxy, and a galaxy
of ruffians is called a horde. A
'horde of logs Is called a heap; a
heap of oxen Is called a drove; a
drove' of blackguards is called a
mob; a mob of robbers Is called a
band, and a band of bees isVulled a
swarm!"
A swarm of words must be an essa>.?Exchange.
THE RED CROSS
.The Red Cross Is a unique sort of
organization.. When one thinks of
how far reaching it is, and the variety
of people taking part in its
program. did you gver stop and
think of how few criticisms one
hears against this Wonderful organization?
J>ld one ever hear of any
money scandals regarding this custodian
and dispenser of millions of
dollars? Did one ever hear people
talk of politics in the Red Cross? Or
favoritism? Of petty dealings? We
have not. And we believe we know
some of the reasons.
The aims, the program and the
deeds of the Red Cross are pltcheed
upon a high plane, so much so that
It makes an appeal to the oest of

? Chapter Five
Oliver took the news ot my
engagement to Livla In such ap,
parent good part that I felt an
overwhelming sense of relief. He
professed to M philosophical about
It: the beat man had won, that
was all. Now truly Dermot's toast
seemed to have come true, for I
felt that I waa Indeed the happiest
man In London.
We did not at once sat the
date for our marriage, but I intended
that our engagement should
be a short one. In the meantime
my beloved Livia came to spend
the lovely weeks of that early
I summer of 1914' with us in the
big rambling house at Heronwater,
idling on the beach and
painting seascapes from the nearby
cove.
i . Toward the close of one of those
long, lSLzy June afternoons Li via
returned from a day of painting

all day; and when I teased

During dinner her distraught
. mood seemed to continue. But
Oliver, who had been out sailing
! during the afternoon, was in rare
spirits. He proposed an Ironical
toast to his "dear stepmamma";
and on learning that Livlt had
wept on returning from the cove,
fressed her mercllesly to tell why.
listened, perplexed, and when
dinner was over I asked to spesdc
to Oliver alone. He led me to his
room.
I caked Oliver to explain his
conduct toward Llvia during dinner.
"You weren't with her this
afternoon, were you, Oliver?"
"Why, I was out sailing."
"You didn't come ashore, by any
chance, and -join her?"
"Of course not, father. If Livla'a
upset about anything, I had nothing
to do with it. I've tried to
nake this relationship between
>.he three of us as congenial as I
could. And I thought my conduct
toward LJvla had been irreproachable.
If I went too far tonight, I'm
terribly sorry. You do believe me,
4pn't you father?"
I did believe him, and said so.
Soon I found myself apologising
to Oliver for having mentioned the
incident. He forgave me magnanimously,
and we shook hands on
It. I settled back in my chair with
a vast feeling of relief, and asked
him for a cigarette.
Oliver reached into his sweater
? the one he had worn during
the afternoon ? for a package
of cigarettes. On one sleeve ol
the sweater I saw a smear of blue
paint ? plainly the same paint
L'.via had been using that day. I
a- .zed the sweater from his hands

and numbly looked at the paint'
"Oliver," I buret out at last.
"You're a liar and a cheat! You
uiere with Li via! That's bow her
mented! That's what all your gibes
meant at dinner!"
Caught hands down, he at ''
tried to shrug it off, while
anger and my serae of misc..
disillusionment heightened,
"When I was a boy," I told
him, "I was poor and cold and
hungry. But I had a dream that
kept me warm. One day I would
have a son ? and my eon would
have everything! I'd give him all
the things I'd missed ? everything
he dreamed ofr And that's
what I did for you ? may God
forgive me!"

Oliver packed up and left the
house, refusing to come back or
to see me in his lodgings. My
abject misery increased; for though
I had become fully aware of the
bov's true character, the hold he
had no my deepest affections remained.
As the. summer passed
and the autumn wore- on I ceased
working; I saw Livla less and less
frequently; I tried in a thousand
ways to see Oliver or at least
to get some word to him, but In
vain. ?
The events'of that fateful summer
made their Impact felt upon
us all. When war was declared
and Kitch ner issued his first call
for volunteers, Dermot's son Rory
came home from a protracted visit
in Ireland and promptly joined
up. Oliver Joined with him in the
same regiment Maeve threw herself
with all her vast energy into
a rigorous round of entertainments
for soldiers on leave; and I heard
vaguely that she was seeing a
good deal of Oliver in London,
see
It was from Annie, Maeve's old
servant, that I learned of the girl's
plight On the evening of Oliver's
and yet you'd starry me A*
and Story's departure for France
the good old dame came to me, ,
tearfully.
"I did everything I could to stop
it," she sobbed. "Oh, air ? whatever
are we going to do? She's
been IU so much lately. I thought
you ought to know. After all, he's
your son."
I went at once to see poor
Maeve. With calm courage, almost
matter-of-factly, she admitted to
me what had happened.
"You mustn't blame Oliver, darling.
I began all this."
"But why Oliver t" I cried. "You
never even lilted him! What's behind
all this, Maeve?"
"You aee, when Oliver left you," >
I thought I ought to keep an
eye on him. That If he didn't lose
touch with all of us he might
come to his senses and make it up
with you. So I saw him ? often.
And, naturally enough I suppose,
he came to think I'd been leading
him on. Perhaps I had. At any
rate ? " i
The solution, the only one pos-'
sible, seemed clear to me. She
; had done what she had done for
Oliver's sake ? and mine. Oliver,
she Insisted, knew nothing of her
present situation; but I did, and I
was there to make the only poai
slble form of amends. I told Maeve
i that she must marry me immediately
? on the morrow.
"But what about Livia?'"'
1 could not answer; but my
, agony must have shown in my
, face. Maeve burst into tears and
threw her arms around my nec'r.

, yet you'd marry me! Oh, man
: you make me proud!"
