Just a EloWer.

Here comes a market basket filled
with meat, potatoes, turnips, onions,
cauliflowers and radishes, a substan-
tlal supply for the hungry household.
but peeping out from these varied table
needs is flower, blooming from a
little pot down among the potatoes.
What 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 a sense
of beauty that put smile on her face
and goodness in her heart. That was
a 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 1t would bring
TO her modest household, and how God
would tha0k her for itl-CoiuRdus

as much concern as the unexpected
sight Of a German spiked helmet had
caused me In Belgium. It read as
follows:

"The king is very glad to hear of
your escape from Germany. If you

"Earl Cromer, Buckingham Palace.

In the interval that elapsed, must
confess. the ordeal Of calling on the
king Of England doomed up more
dreadfully every day, and 1 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.

fact that he had won MS bet was n

CHAPTER XIX.
I Am Presented to the King.

When the dreaded It'll of December
arrived. / halted taxlcab and In as
matter-of.fact tone OF voice as could
drive me to Buckingham palace. rs
though was paying my regular morn
Ing call on tho king.
My friends version OF this incident.
I have since heard, is that seated
myself In the taxi and leaning through
the window said: buckingham pal
acei" whereupon the taxi driver got
down. opened the door and exclaimed
thrcatenlngly:
"If you don't get out quietly and
chuck your drunken talk. I'll jolly
quick call bobby, BIZ me. II I
wontW
But I can only give my word that
nothing of the kind occurred.
When I arrived at the palace gate.
the sentry on guard asked me who l
was and then let me pass at once
up to the front entrance of the palace.
There was met by an deliberately
uniformed and equally deliberately
decorated parsonage who. judging by
the long row OF medals he wore, must
have seen long and distinguished serv-
ice for the king.
I was relieved of my overcoat. hat
and stick and conducted up a long
stairway. where was turned over TO
another functionary, who led me TO
tho reception room Of Earl Cromer.
the kings secretary.
There was introduced to another
earl and duke. whose name do not
remember. ! was becoming so bewll-
dered, In fact, that II is a wonder that
I remember as much as I do of this
eventful day.
had heard many times that before
being presented to the king n man is
coached carefully as to just how he Is
to act and what he Is to say and do,
and all this time i was wondering
when this drilling would commence.
certainly had no Idea that I was to
be ushered into the august presence
OF the king without some preliminary
instruction.
Earl Cromer and the other noblemen
talked to me for while and got me
to relate In brief the story of my ex-
perience. and they appeared TO be
very much interested. Perhaps they
did It only to give me confidence and
as n sort of rehearsal for the main
performance. which was scheduled TO
take place much sooner than ! ex-
pected.
i had barely completed my story
when the door opened and an attend
ant entered and announced:
"The king will receive Leftenant
OBrienl"
If he had announced that the kaiser
was outside with a squad of German
guards to take me back to Courtrai
my heart could not have sunk deeper.
Earl Cromer beckoned me to follow
him aad we went into a large room,
where supposed / was at last to re-
ceive my coaching. but observed the
earl bow to man standing there and
realized that l was standing in the
presence Of the king of England.
"Your majesty, Leftenant O'Brien !"
the earl announced. and then immedi-
ately backed from the room. / be-
heved / would have followed right
behind him. but by that time the
king had me by the hand and was
congratulating me, and he spoke so
very cordially and democratlcally
that he put me Mt my ease at once.
He then asked me how l felt and
whether l was in condition to con-
verse. and when 1 told him was, he
said be would be very much pleased
to hear my story in detail.
-Were yon treated any worse by the
Germans. isftenanti" he asked. ION

MARRIED LIFE
Helen Tries to Get Restaurants Re-
cipe for Cheese.


! A restaurant at night, with its air
| of festivity, its brilliant lights and
people passing in and out, is very
different in the morning with it's
dingy, colorless and deserted atmos-
| phere.
| And now as Helen paused at the
entrance of the place they had dined
| the night before. she hesitated. She
| was not quite sure whether women
ever went there alone, and no one
seemed to be going in now. To re-
! gain her courage she walked on around
the block.
| They had dined there last night
with the Dawsons, and Mr.. Dawson
had ordered a special mixed cheese,
stating that it could be had at no
other place in New York. It proved
to be delicious. They were all en-
thusiastic about it, particularly War
rem
And now that the Stevens were COM
| ing tonight, Helen had conceived the
| idea of getting the recipe and making
| the cheese as a surprise. That she
could make it, she felt sure. She had
detected green peppers, Roquefort and
onions, but did not know the proper
tons. and there were other things in
| it she could not detect.
| Once more she approached the res
| taurant, again she hesitated and then
determinedly passed through the door.
No Glamour There.
| Inside the establishment of the
/ morning was even more marked. The
mirrors and gilt decorations that had
seemed so attractive, now looked
cheap and tawdry in the cold morning
light.
The whole place was dismantIed.
/ Most of the tables vera hare with
chairs piled upon them, few had the
under the cloth, and these We're cof-
fee stained and soiled.
A waiter in his shirt sleeves was
polishing the sugar bowls and salt
cellars at a side table, and a scrub
; woman was hopping up the floor.
In the semi darkness of the room
Helen could see the closed piano on
the platform with the empty music
stands huddIed against 1t. There was
strong odor of stale tobacco and
number of spittoons were showed to-
gether against the wall. She knew
she could never eat at this place with
any relish
Hesitatingly she approached the
waiter who was polishing the salt
cellars. noting that the cloth he used
was wet and black

He disappeared through a swinging
door at the back, and returned follow
