Susan Kent was cutting hor flower. The big Mine hush by tho front dooi hung low with Its load of ' purple Clusters. Airs. Kent's scissors snipped lavishly, and occasionally she hold, u spray against her white cheeks. Iter checks and her hair hud whltojtod rapidly since that tiny nearly u -4ir ago when Dorry had como hOilfo. She tried to keep hor thoughts froifi golllg back to that homecoming, so different from her plans. She tried to thank God that Dorry had como hinuu, even though In syiiu: strange way he hud left the living, thinking part of hlin In France. She looked tendorly over to where Derry sat on the door step, playing with n spray of llluc. Down the street cwne u swift patter of feet, and a little girl stopped ut the gate. She was dressed In white, with a red, white and blue cap. "Flowers roady, Mrs. Kent?" she In quired, smoothing down her starched skirts. All rcntly, Gladys, and about all you can carry, my dear." blie caiu' ovor nnd placed tiro big bouquet In the child's arms. Derry was lopklng at the red, white and blue cap. Lie shook his head slowly, and brushed his huud over his eyes. "You aren't going to tho parade?" asked Ghulys, ns she started off. "No dear; I don't think Derry wants to go today," Mrs. Kent replied, stead ily. Dorry went over nnd lay down In tho hammock. Mrs. Kent rnused on the steps to sco lilfn settled. "While you have a little nap, I'll get the work done, dear," she sold, as she went In the house. Presently down town the band be gan to play. As the faint sounds and tho rumble of the drums came up the street, 'the boy In the hammock sat up. Aghln the slight frown wrinkled his forehead, and he brushed his eyes with his hand. The boom of the drum drew nearer. Derry stood tip. He went down the gruye! walk, and opening the gate, stepped out..' lie paused. The splendid strains of 'the national anthem cHi'ue to his ears. Derry looked puzzled and walked to ward the sound. Mrs. Kent worked, quietly about the hoise for sonic time Derry usually slept most of the forenoon. She tried to shut her ears, to the tmiglc, nnd the knowledge that out there, klmkl.-ejnd lads, strong, Intelligent, yere paying liqnor.to those who slept. Tio bopm of the saluting guns sntote upon her ears. -She went to the door and peeped, nt this hammqek, U was empty. In swift nlarm she glanced about the yard and faw the open g:te. In 10 months Derry hud never been out there alone. She ran down tho street trying to steady her trembling knees. With sure Instinct she made for the cemetery. He had gone to the parade. She , sped on. Tho procession was wlndug slowly out, drums muted, music, stilled. The sun cuught In tho folds of the silken Uiik at the head of the column, and the breeze Hung It forth, red as the sUcrltlcInl blood" Of Its stain, white us the souls of Its heroic womanhood, blue as the heav ens (hat had guarded and moulded It But slt had eyes for none of these. Only dimly did she see the thin Hue of blue, the whlteclatl girls, the sturdy marching lines of khaki. On and on they pnssed, and at hist she saw him across the moving pageant. He was standlnc alone at the edge of the crowd, the dazed wondering frown still on his face. Forgetting tho procession she started across the street. The last of the marchers had passed, and the autos cnrrylng the old veterans were follow lng. It. all happened so quickly, In the very Instant thnt Mrs. Kent started ucross.the street Derry saw her, saw, too, the autos bearing down upon her. airs. Kent saw him leup, felt his swift unns about her, and did she hear or did she dream that vibrant voice shouting "Mother?" Darkness closed about her, a thick, palpitating darkness that whirred and sang with strange noises. After a long time It lifted, and she saw the kind old face of Dr. Brnwn bending over her. She lay on her own bed. Mrs. Kent started up with one cry "Derry." The doctor put out a detaining hand. "Just it minute Mrs. Kent, Some- thliiL- ivinarknlilo has happened. I hardly know." "Where Is Derry?" demanded tho mother, "Derry Is nwake and Is asking for you," "Is asking?" Then the vibrant voice v-tis not a dream. She sped down the stairs and Into : . o living room. He turned from v ore he was standing at the window t m ran toward her with outstretched t ns. Mother, I've come home," he told b.-r. Tho doctor slipped out. "Haw 1 got here I don't know. Last I knew, why. we wero going over the top. Mother, speak. Tell mo all about It." Mrs. Kent lifted her head from his shoulder nnd looked Into tho ''cleat, radiant eyes. "Oh.
