Cherry ,Pyeeroft„ member of the
Waafs, hurriesto ,London to the
apartmerst,ef her friend, Denise, who
had married the man she loved. On
arriving she learns that Denise no
longer loves Simon, mid' that she is
leaving' that night to avoid meeting
him on his return froin a trip to
American. Cherry .achnits she had
been in love with Simon. Denise asks
her to stay and greet her husband
with the bad news. Simon arrives
but Cherry withholds the news.
Learning that the train to Bristol had
crashed—the train that Denise took
—Simon and Cherry drive there,
identify Denise's chewed suitcase,
and assume a badly burned body is
hers, Months later Simon and Cherry
are married, but Cherry's happiness
s spoiled at finding Denise's engage-
ment ring in a drawer . . . proving
to Cherry that Denise is still alive.
Cherry finally shows Simon the ring
and tells him all the facts. He is very
bitter about it and they separate.
Cherry gets ready to have dinner
with John Harrap, who has promised
to help her.'
John Harrap took one swift look at
her when they met, and, asked "Are
you the same girl I met 'at the
Hampdens?"
"This is me in my Sunday best."
"I see. I begin to recognize you
now,"
It was fun. She' was Cherry Pye-
croft, A. C. W. 2, out for an evening.
Cherry Lindon really, but no one
down on the station ever remembered
the "Lindon."
This evening she was determined
to enjoy herself and, for once she
was successful. When they returned
to the airdrome he stopped the car
some distance from the main, gate,
"It was a wonderful evenings" she
said a trifle wistfully. "Thank you,
John, for taking me."
His face in the pale moonlight
seemed unhappy despite the swift
smile he gave her. "Thank you for
coming. And I've told you—you're
hot to fret. We'll do this again the
next time you're free. See you in
a clay or two."
He drove away and she followed.
The girls were chattering in: the front
room as she pushed open the door
of their billet. She slipped quietly
upstairs. A moment later Valerie
joined her. "I thought I heard you
come in just now. I've been waiting :
for you. Simon's been here, Cherry."
Cherry . swung round from the
dressing table. Her heart dropped
"Oh, Valerie! Darling, when did he
come? What did he say?"
• "I didn't •see him. I've been over
to Aunt Alice's, Blake was the only
one who was here. I gathered he
called and asked. for you, Blake
said he seemed awfully sick when
she told him you'd gone off duty.
He left word that he particularly
wanted to see you, as tomorrow he's
leaving London."
Cherry felt her heart turn over.
"Oh, Valerie, I wouldn't have had
this happen for anything. Where is
Blake? must find out what he said."
Blake was downstairs drinking tea.
She looked around. with interest as
Cherry burst into the room "Hello,
Pyecroft," said Blake. "You've had a
visitor."
"So Valerie's just told me," Cher-
ry was keeping herself in hand with
diftculty. She wanted to clutch
Blake by thte shoulders, to ask her
fifty questions all at once, "How
did he look, Blake? Do you -.-do you
think after all he still loves me?" As
if Blake could ,answer that! Simon
didn't wear his heart on his sleeve
and she mustn't either.
She said cooly, "What tine did
he come Blake?"
"Around half -past six. Just in
time to take you out to dinner."
"Oh, why wasn't I :here?" Cherry
asked herself passionately. Why,
when every other night of the week
she was either here in her billet, or
soniewhere else near at hand, had

Valerie had already told her that

at least that meant he would be in
London in the inorning. She might
get in touch with him. Or better still,
try to see him.
She couldn't sleep, turning over
and over in her mind the best, the
wisest thing to do. Surely Simon
must have had a change of heart!
Or maybe therewould' be just a
mut little note telling' her where Ile
was going.
At last she dropped into a fitful
sleep, dozing off and on until morn-
ing. Valerie was already awake.
Cherry sat bolt upright and reach-
ed for her dressing gown. "If a girl
wants special leave what does she
do to get it, Valerie?" •
"Asks her corporal first, and then
secs her superior officer. Why?"
"I'm going to ask for a few hours
off this morning to see Simon."
Valerie looked at her doubtfully.
"You'll have to produce a very good
reason."
"I'in afraid I really haven't one.
But I'm going to try all the same."
"It's a pity youu couldn't go sick,"
said Valerie, "If you could see the

"You wanted to See Inc about

'Mitchell asked. '
"Yes, ma'am. I wanted to know
if it would .be possible for me to

"For what reason?"
"I want to see my husband."

"For long?"
"I—I don't know." Now Cherry
plunged on, desperately, truthfully,
telling her officer as briefly as pos-

that she was utterly wretched be-

Board Intervention,
Rationing of Farm
• Machinery
• An appeal is being made to all,
farmers by W. Harold IVIclahillips,
prices, and supply representative for
Western Ontario,. to inake do as far
as possible with the farm machinery
they now own..
Rationing of farm machinery is
still necessary because although more
farm machinery will be made this
year than in 1943, it will be only
about 80 % of normal •production.
This will not be sufficient to meet
the demands of the farmers.
If farmers will have their present
equipment repaired when possible and
do all they can to keep it in operation
it will allow a more equitable distri-
bution to those who absolutely need
it Production a repair -parts is 156
per cent of the normal supply.

Fertilizer Prices
Canadian fertilizer prices are
probably lower than any country in
the world, This fact is probably due,
W. Harold ,McPhillips, prices and
supply representative for Western
Ontario, said, to Wartime Prices and
Trade Board policy for subsiding
imports and zoning distribution. The
Canadian prices are several dollars
a ton less than in the United, States
and the United Kingdom.
Dates that canning sugar coupons
become valid are announced by W.
Harold McPhillips, prices and supply
representative for Western Ontario.
Canning sugar coupons are the "F"
coupon in ration book' number three.
The -Ant F coupons will become
valid on May the twenty-fifth, the
second five, F6 to F10, will become
due on July the sixth, Each coupon
is good for the purchase of one pound
of canning sugar, giving a total of
ten pounds to each book holder.
If liouseholders do not intend to
preserve their own fruit and wish to
buy them instead, Mr. McPhillips said
that F coupons may be converted into
preserves coupons. The exchange
should be made at the local ration
board. One coupon is good for one
