Just a Flower.

Here comes market basket filed

tial supply for the hungry household.
but peeping out from these varied table
needs is a flower, blooming from a
little pot down among the potatoes.
What a world Of melody its happy
presence impels! There is a soul in
that family desire sure enough. We
looked at the good woman who carried
the basket and saw in her countenance
something fairer than appetite; sense
OF beauty that put i: smile on her face
and goodness In her heart. That was
sign OF the love that she had for her
family responsibility; somewhat to
grace the table and lend a charm to
the family life. Amid the dull neces-
stiles of life she had planted a little
flower. What radiance it would bring
to her modest household, and how God
would thank her for iti-ColumbuI

Savoy by fellow officer who lad
bet three other friends of mine that
l would be home by Christmas. This
wager had been made at the time he
heard that l was prisoner of war,
and the dinner was the stake.
The first intimation he had of nv
safe return from Germany and the
fact that Re had won his bet was q
telegram I sent him reading as fol-
lows:
Lieut.. Louis Grand:
"War bread bad, so I came home
pat"
He said he would not part with
that message for Il thousand dollars.
Other banquets followed in fast sue
cession. After had survived nine of
them / figured that l was now in az
much danger of succumbing to a sur
felt Of rich food as l had previously
been of dying from starvation, and
for my own protection, / decided to
leave London. Moreover, my thoughts
and my heart were turning back to
the land of my birth, where l knew
there was a loving mother who was
longing for more substantial evidence
of my safe escape than the cables and
letters she had received.
Strangely enough, on the boat which
carried me across the Atlantic, l saw
an r. F. c. man-Lieutenant Lascel-
les.
l walked over to him, held out my
hand and said 'Hellow ..f
He looked at me steadily for at least
a minute.
"My friend, you certainly look like
Pat O'Brien." he declared, but I can't
believe my eyes. Who are you2'
l quickly convinced him that his
eyes were still to be relied upon, and
then he stared at me for another min
ute or two, shaking his head dubi-
ousiy.
His mystification was quite expli-
cable. The last time he had seen me
1 was going down to earth with a
bullet in my face and my machine do
ing spinning-nose dive. He was one

as much concern as the unexpected
sight of a German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. 1t read as
follows:
Lieut.. p. A. O'Brien, Royal Flying
Corps, Regents Palace Hotel, Lon
don:
1.-THE king is very glad to hear of
your escape from Germany. If you
are to be in London on Friday next,
December 7th, His majesty will re-
ceive you at Buckingham palace at
1870 a. m. Please acknowledge.
"CROMER."
OF course, there was only one
thing to do and that was to obey ord
ers. / was an officer in the army and
the king was my commander In chief,
l had to go, and so 1 sat down and
sent off the following answer:
earl Cromer, Buckingham Palace,
London:
Il will attend Buckingham palace
as directed, Friday, December 9TH, at
1920.
LIEUT.. PAT O'BRIEN."
In the interval that elapsed, must
confess, the ordeal of calling on the
king Of England doomed up more
dreadfully every day, and I really
believed would rather have spent an
other day in the empty house in the
big city in Belgium or. say, two more
days at Courtrai, than to go through
what believed to be in store for me-
Orders were orders, however, and
there was no way Of getting out of it.
As it turned out. it wasn't half as bad
as had feared-on the contrary, it
was one Of the most agreeable expe-
riences of my life.

and was In the fight which resulted
in my capture. He said he had read
the report that I was q prisoner Of
war, but he had never believed it, as
he did not think it possible for me to
survive that fall.

as if he were not quite sure that the

and that I was an imposter. |!
Outside of this unexpected meetl
ing, my trip was uneventful. :
arrived at st. John, New Bruns-
wick, and eventually in the little
town of Momence, ILL.,, on the Kan,
kakee river.
I have said that I was never so
happy to arrive in a country as was
when l set foot on Dutch soil. Now.
I'm afraid I shall have to take that
statement back. Not until I finally
