"WELL DONE!"

A short time ago, one of our blind soldiers was playing the piano in the convalescent ward of a London hospital.

Presently some visitors entered the room, but he was used to such interruptions & played on, filling the long ward with lovely melody.

When the music ceased, a gentleman walked over to the piano & said, "Well done, my friend!"

The surprised soldier, thinking it was one of his comrades, swung round on his stool & with a smile said, "And who are you?"

Quick as a flash & as startling, came the reply, "Your King!"

In an instant the man was on his feet with his hand at salute, his whole being instinct with pleasure at the honor accorded him by the royal word of praise.
