-1aD To- take Rosie of to Germany
The baker was standing out in the
street before his store directing the
work Of two OF his assistants who were
lacking fCstOOns of red, white and blue
bunting on the awning. 1t was the
afternoon of the day before Memorial
Day. and It was in honor Of this that
the patriotic baker was decorating.
But Jack saw Rosie looking from an
upper window, and he contented him
self with slyly throwing a kiss in her
direction. Rosie hid herself from the
view of her father below and threw one
back.
When the parade OF the veterans
passed down the main street of the VIII"
laga the next day. Won Grih's bakery
was respondent with the national col
ors. What was lacking in taste was
made up i'm lavishness. Flags little
and flags big were tackled in rows
across the front of the building. The
awning posts were swathed in red
white and blue cambria. and there was
a big red lettered motto painted on cot
ton cloth which read:
HONOR TO THE HEROES
Won Grin. the author OF all this dis
play stood under the awning looking
happy. and beaming with suppressed
enthusiasm.
With q martial roll Of drums the pa
rade came down the street. First came
the grand marshal on a pranCing big
gray horse. Then came the local Off
cials I'm two open barouches, next the
band. and behind. marching with heads
erect and in as good time as rheUma-
tism and age sti6ened limbs would al
low, came the veterans some in full
Grand Army uniform. with white
crossed belts over blue suits and brass
tipped helmets. and some with only
the black siouched hat. ornamented
with wreath enclosed post number and
the cord and tassel. 20 denote that they
were of those who lad fought side by
side with those whose graves they had
just decorated.
The marshal of the day noticed Won
Grifi s patriotic display and determined

been made
Refining in his gray steed, ne wheel
ed and gave the order to halt Then
. bringing the veterans 10 q company
front mp and down the street he rOared
as he waved his sword:
"Com-pan-ee, attention. Sa-a-a-a-
alo-o-Ootr'
AS each veteran swung his right
hand up. palm outward, to his hat
lrim, Won Griff. heart swelling and
eyes dimued. drew himself up to the
most s-iHy martial attitude which his
corpu,ency would allow and returned
The salute.
As the veterans again formed into
tours and began 10 march on. Won
Crit $ gaze fell on q man in veteran S
uniform marching modcstly in one Of
the rear ranks. Tt was John Fairfield.

Jinsmith was hard at work in his shop
when in walked Won Grill.
