there is no charge for this service.
All the young people are invited to
hear this good talk by this good

lights in the distance began to-

appeared.
He was almost upon it when
suddenly his tongue seemed to
fill his throat; he could not
breathe. He heard the man on:
his back cry once and begin
choking. Pascoe knew well what /.
had happened. They-had run in ,
to a stratum of fire damp, which
had filtered out of its gallery into
the. central passage. Such gaseous
emanations float like clouds, not .
uniformly, but in layers. 1t might ,
file the entire gallery or it might
cease on the instant when he had
passed its line of passage.
Purple in the face, unable to
draw a breath, he staggered on.

man. He felt his lungs bursting;;,
then all at once he was drawing
in great grasps of air again, and
the distant shaft appeared a glim-
mering thing, ghostly in the OBJ
security.
He did not dare set Sturgis
down, for the deadly fire damp
might be upon them at any mo
ment again; besides, the pain in
his injured legs would become in
tolerable with further handling.
He heard the mans quick, sharp
intakes of breath and stumbled
onward. He had covered thirty I

echoing back into the darkness,
the monster rocks ironically re-
verberating the final syllable:
Gis, gis-gis, gis.
Then, just as Pascoe found the
narrowing tunnel too small to
permit further progress, he heard
a feeble answer to his cry. He
turned and CROPPED his way to-
ward the source of it, stumbled
over a body, and found himself
kneeIing at Sturgis' side.
Thank Godp he shouted, with
the joy that comes to all men
who are given the saving of hui
man life. At that moment he for
got Mary forgot the years of
slow cruelty, the uselessness Of
the man lying at his feet, whose
death would give back the joy of
living to both of them. ''Are you
hurt, Sturgis?" he shouted.
"My legs are broken, I think"
the miner answered. Somebody
shouted fire damp at the end of
the gallery, and I ran out to see.
I passed near somebody's fuse.
The dog had left it burning, and
taken to his heels. I got the

City Engineer Kirkpatrick has gone to

called yesterday by the death of his

city hall circles yesterday when it became
known that for the past several days Mr..
Kirkpatrick has been sticking to his

circumstances when he knew that at

death of his brother.
President C. Exum showed some indig-
nation at the commission meeting Friday
when Mr.. Kirkpatrick made his report
on the Kelley railroad plans and criticised
the city engineer rather severely Mr..
kirkpatrick was then laboring under
great depression as he knew his brother
was at the point of death, yet he calmly
arose and explained his position. The
many friends of Mr.. kirkpatrick are SYM

from the grasp of discriminatory
freight rates.
Birmingham Vitally Concerned
Birmingham is vitality concerned in
the enterprise. 1t means the ripening
of that fruit for which Birmingham has
pfned for many years. That Birming-
ham will be within the inner circle OF
world cities when the line is fully in
augurated and when the Tidewater is
built to Tuscaloosa Is generally be-
lieved Between the boats and the
Tidewater lies the hope of Birming-
ham to get into a position of shipping
her products to all ports of the world
on an equal basis with the other in
dustrial centers OF this country. And in
that respect the industrial men of this
community want the day fastened
that they may enjoy cheap rates to
the gulf and to the other points of
the country
The officials of the barge line and
the officials of the Tidewater company
are not unmindful of the truth that the
railroad interests of this state will un-
dertake to throttle the work They
have been through the same PROPOSE
ton before and anticipate it. Notwith-
standing this they assert with every
degree OF positiveness that they do not
rely upon any financial interests of
this country for money and they pro-
pose to push onward. They propose to
unbottle Birmingham and Alabama
from the alleged discriminatory rates
and render this district free and un-
tramelled when it comes to selling
her products to all sections.
Pushing Toward Tuscaloosa
In connection with the work of these
two concerns of relieving Birmingham
of unjust discrimination it was given
cta ha
building rs consistently and rapidly as
possible onward to Tuscaloosa. While
the sale of bonds at this time is ad-
mittedly slow yet the Tidewater inter-
ests are still at work enthusiastically
and have secured practically all rights
of way to Tuscaloosa.
They have now a friendly contest
with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company for right of way
10 miles through that companys prop
erty. That will be adjusted amicably.
1t is believed. In the meantime the
laying of rails between Fairfield and
Bessemer is progressing admirably and
unless all signs fail or the ship sinks
Fred Morris and G. I. Brown, his gem
eral manager, will have cars running
between this city and Tuscaloosa be-
fore July 4 of 1914.
They have set that day for the OPEN
ing and while delays often occur, yet
ii Is the firm belief here that daunt-
lessly they will push forward until this
district Is finally connected with that
greatest of all railroad regulators wa
ter transportation facilities
The water part of the scheme will
be through some time before the Tide
water line is completed. In the mean
time citizens of this community and
elsewhere in this state are awaiting
anxiously the fulfillment of this pa
triotic task of uncorking the Birming-
ham district.

Employers RIaht to Discharge.

The United States Court OF Appeals,
Sixth circuit, laid down rules govern
ing a masters right to discharge an
employee for misconduct In Carpenter
Steel company vs.. Noroross, q suit for
breach of contract OF employment.
The court held 1t to be q sufficient de-
fence that the employee was guilty of
the misconduct charged. although
such misconduct was not known 10
the employer at the time OF the dis
charge. which was based upon other
alleged acts by tho employe. The
court held that the servant owes the
master the duty of faithfulness, wheth-
er expressed In the contract or not,
and any conduct showing an unfaith-
full disposition la sufficient to justify
n discharge. The acts proved were
that plaintiff was manager Of the de-
fendant's branch warehouse, where
high grade steel was sold to the auto
mobile trade. and that in entertaining
purchasing agents at the automobile
show in New York he was guilty OF
excessive drinking and committed
other acts of dissipation and made adj
yances out OF his deposit account to
employees and customers. The court
ruled that such acts did not constitute
misconduct warrauting his discharge
as a matter of law. but raised Ques-
ton of fact for the jury.
