HELP! POLICE!
BUT NO POLICE
It was 9:30 Friduy morning July
4th, everything was <iuiel when sutl
denly. a woman's scream broke the
silence, "Help! Help! Call the Police
stop you are killing the." The
outcry came from the house next
floor to The Herald OfTice. A little
boy, ran to the office door. "Cull
the police i|Uick. he's killing hetV
The Herald man Immediately pick?
ed up the telephone and called the
Police Depiirtmeut. The phone rang .
.rang and rang, but no one answer"
ed. Outcries continued from tin
house ear by. Finally a man rushed
out of the house, got in si car and
departed. Quietness prevailed again.
Kings Mountain spends a considerable
sum of money each year for
police protection, and citizens are
entitled to the immediate service (
24 hours a day. When a Police Off
/ irer is needed, he is needed light
then. not 30 minutes later., not
hours later. Five uniformed officers
are. now on the payrolls of KlnRs |
Mountain, and some arrangements
should be worked out immediately
that when a citizen Is in need o! '
protection they eah get it THHX.
, 1' It's Just a ha'ppeu so. just* a chance,
with the present system. If you call
the police department and get An (
answer. Local police departments
should be the first line of defensi \
against crime and Injury, It should i
be definite, secure, and not Just a
happen so.
"Help, Help." but .no police ans- (
wered. i I
THEY ARE READY
Man Is an adaptable creature, and t
be can quickly adjust himself to al
most anv situation. At the same y
time, he may become Irked at his
lot and -do something- about It. That
is the reason we have made so t
much progress In ths country. But ,
when a man in this country run* up |
against 'something which cannot he overcome
in any honorable way, he
ace pels it as his luck, and is ready
to go through with it in the. best of
splrfT and humor.
I have been much impressed with
the fine spirit shown . by the .'young
men who have been or will be called
into the service before the pres
ent crtsis Is over. Their attitudes

ting The Herald to be sent to him
at Denver, Col., where he is attend
ing the convention of the Locomotive
Brotherhood, "I always enjoy
reading your paper.' as I can keep |
up with the times in and about my
old home town."
The Herald will also follow the
W. K. Mauney's on their trip to
Alaska. Mr. ?W, K. left a schedule
af their journey with The Herald,
and each week a copy of the hometown
-paper will be sent. The first
copy Is being mailed to Salt Lake
City, Utah. I certainly would like to
r>ake that trip to the frozen north,
and have the Herald sent to me. I
appreciate very much folks caring
enough about their Herald to want
it to follow them when they are a-,
way from home.
Here and There Editor is in receipt
of another fine' basket of
peaches compliments of Wayne L.
Ware of Route 2. Mr. Ware has his;

for his ex-employee, who is now ser

that Florida was overflowing
with soldiers and tourists.
Kings Mountain, The Best Town
in the State, is building a r\potation
as a friendly place. A salesman
from Charlotte stopped in Belk's the
other day and told one of the clerks
that just about every person he had
passed on the streets spoke to him',
and in other towns and cities citizens
do not make a habit of speaking
to strangers and greeting them
with a smile.

The clock chimed one when Hoiger

on the way home, watching s

"To give one's self entirely t<

"Would you be afraid?"
"No ? tonight ? " she stretche?

slightly. "But perhaps it is onl;

"Do. you know what you remim

discovering their remotest adven-|
tures, their most jealously guarded
thoughts. And as the friendship
became closer and closer, something
else crept in, a quality of Indispensubility,
one for the other,
something beyond the casual, a
certain instinctive responsiveness.
When Anita found that her feeling
for Holger had transcended that
of aWc and respect for a great artist,
that it had ripened into a genuine,
deep-felt love, the full.meaning of
the situation first became apparent
to her. Holser was a happily married
man. He had two lovely, intelligent
childrch to whom he was
deeply attached. His wife was beautiful,
Vtudei standing and devoted.'
The affair must end immediately,
she told herself, and painful as it
might seem, it would be better
1 now than later, when it would be,
perhaps, too late.
She spent an unhappy day ma.-.Ing
her excuses and farewells to
Thomas Stenborg, kindly Thomas
who had so many hopes for her
future! and to Mrs. Brandt, whose
daurhter she would no longer
teach. She told them she was going
away ? to visit relatives in
Denmark ? perhaps for good. But
she deceived no one. Thomas looked
at her and knew; ' Margit
watched her and understood.
At the cafe, where her troubled,
foreboding attitude worried Holger,
she abruptly announced that
thev must Dart. She was mhnmn/1

"We've had some gay, friendly
hours," he pleaded, "nothing to be

"Look In the mirror, Holger," she
. demanded. "How do we look to
i you?"
1 "Don't be so dramatic," he saftU
but he turned away from the re
flection.
i "Holger!" she cried, "we must
i end it! We can't go on lying to
i ourselves and to people who trust
Us. It's imijossible ? unbeatable!"
Holger remonstrated With all the
l eloquence at his command, but she

shop window where Anita had al
ways loved to stop and linger,
she said goodbye, quickly, casually, ,
and walked hurriedly away, while I
Holger. turned and gazed after her,
stunned and yearning.
When he dragged himself home,
he found his family waiting, Margit
silent and anxious, Ann Marie
clamoring for . him ? her little
world hpd just, been invaded and
Miss Hoffman taken from it. Holger
was st r a n g e 1 y abstracted.
Absently he kissed Ann Marie
goodnight and turned away.
Margit took Ann Marie to bed,
promising early restitution of her
rights. When she returned, she regarded
Holger silently awhile and
then said. "Holger, will you be
away long, this time? I hope it
won t be a long tour."
He turned reluctantly. "But I've I
been at honte longer than I usually
stay," he said.
"For that very reason," she hesitated,
"the days will seem all tha * ?
emptier without you."
"You have your own life, Margit."
he said. "You made that plain
to me on my return."
"Yes. I did," she said, "but this
time, Holger, I want to go along.
I pan arrange everything here. wet
will go back and have some of
those lovely, irresponsible days ?
together in'strange places."
He looked at her without answsrIng.
"Holger, would't you like It?"
He continued gazing at her In
silence. It ie too late, his attitude
seemed to say. "I see, you're
a answering me. I know what It Is."
rt "Marglf." he finally brought nut.
I_ "I must talk to you."
f "No," she cried desperately,
afraid of what she knew muat

said."
"Marglt, he Insisted, "we must
talk now."
