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 OLD IIIRGINI • PIPE TOBACCO It's a real pipe sa14?Icer's • ••tGoin 'South leave 3.1.0 .ra. tobacco is chosen to eall this evening jest11 eave in tl setrice, esPoa 4 Y with when she was, off duty? •Daubtlese the women personnel. 11 every Waaf be, had worked it all out, fortnight who quarreled with her husband by iortmght, and realized that this asked for leaVe, why 'half the girls evening she'd •be free, He hadn't ihbuld be off the airdrome!

"He asked me to tell you that he was sorry he eouldn't see you and that he was leaving London to -morrow after- noon.', Valerie had already told her that There were no further details. Simon hadn't said just what tune of the afternoon he was leaving, nor where lie was going. But the afternoon ... 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 M. 0. and get him to suggest you're not fit for duty . . but of course :he might bung you into the sick I bay. That wouldn't be much help," Cherry began to scramble into her clothes. "I'll get this honestly or not at Cherry went straight, to Miss Mitchell, her section offieer. "You wanted to See Inc about something in particular?" Miss 'Mitchell asked. ' "Yes, ma'am. I wanted to know if it would .be possible for me to have just a few hours :off duty?" "For what reason?" "I want to see my husband." "Is he being sent abroad? In that case you should have asked earlier, You'd, probably get compasionate leave without much difficulty." ) "No, it's not that, He—he's not actually in .erne a the fighting serv- ices. He's: attached to the War 0±- fice. Ile being sent away unex- pectedly:" "For long?" "I—I don't know." Now Cherry plunged on, desperately, truthfully, telling her officer as briefly as pos- sible that things had gone wyong between her husband and herself, that she was utterly wretched be- cause of it, that he had called to see her lust evening but she hadn't been on the station.

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. V 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 celd,'polite. Oh, if he felt like this D coupon. Only F coupons numb.er 1 an idiot, Lane!
