n that day boasted but a single
decoration, now gleam with miniature medals. Dick wears a single badge,
the medal presented to civilian fighters. But he and his deeds are not
forgotten. There are always the heartiest greetings awaiting him, and,
indeed, such is his popularity, and so well are his brave deeds
remembered, that when his erect and well-known figure enters the room in
which the gathering takes place, there is a general turning of heads,
eager conversations are suddenly arrested, and all advance to grip his
hand. There is no need for the butler at the door to announce him, for
to every one this tall and unassuming gentleman is known. They smile a
real welcome to him, and then the buzz of their voices breaks out again:
"It's Stapleton--gallant Dick Stapleton."
