Wo havo been thinking tho matter

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.

"Haw 1 got here I don't know. Last

Mrs. Kent lifted her head from his
shoulder nnd looked Into tho ''cleat,
radiant eyes.
