to alt end. They swung around a cor-
ner. There were the gate's of the
station. And there, as ill luck would
have it, were ,Valerie and Blake.
Simon slowed • the car. "You'll
.;.write.?" Cherry said desperately,
"Oh, yes. Yes, I'll keep in touch
with you."
Valerie was ' standing with them
now. "Hello, Mr. Lindon."
Blake was there, too, waiting to be

They all chatted together fon a few

thing.wrong with Cherry. They spoke
of it among themselves, but they ask-
ed.. no questions. • When, their forty-
eight•'hours' leave came again Cherry
spent it with Valerie and told her
hopelessly, . "Everything's gone wrong,
Valerie. •. It's worse than I believed
possible. I -I'm_ not going to see
Simon again. Not for some time at
any rate. Will you think me mean
if I don't tell you anything .about it?"
Valerie had said that she was, only
too " ready to be of . help, if possible.
And .in • Um -meanwhile . . :`I know
it's easy to say, but don't, worry too
terribly if. you can help it, Cherry
darling;"
Sbe.knew, though that Cherry was
worrying. • There was a strained look
'in her eyes ,every morning about mail
time. •' The one letter that came did
nothing• to make ber look any hap-
pier.
One Sunday morning at Mrs. Hamp-
•
den's, Valerie said to Cherry,' "I Sor-
got to tell ,you yesterday,. I've a• cou-
ple of. officers 'homing over for lunch
and tennis today. They'll drive us
back to the station •this evening. One
of them's Bob Kennedy -I believe you
met him at the party -and the other's
a, friend of his. I .don't even know
his name. He only was posted, to
-our station a day or two ago."
Cherry said that would be grand,
Valerie, bless her, was trying to take
her gut of herself, but it was no use.
Simon's letter .was becoming 'worn
from the number of times she'd read
and reread it. This morning it seem=
ed even colder than 'usual: "Dearest
.Cherry -I'm sorry things have .turned
out. the • way... they have between us."
;She ' couidn't bear. to go en. •
When the . young men arrived,
Cherry found that she knew Bob
Kennedy, a cheerful young flying of-
ficer who'd distinguished himself in
the 'battle of Britain. She was intro-
dUc'ed to his • friend. "Cherry Pye-
croft, John .Harrap."
Valerie laughed. ``It's not Cherry
Pyecroft. You've got ,it wrong, Bob.
Cherry's Mrs. - Lindon."
'Cherry said quickly, "Better call
me Cherry and leave it at that. Any. -
way I'm still known by my maiden

He laughed shortly. "),know _„They b

• Cherry suddenly felt all her de -

For Special Locations •
Once upon a time most flowers had
to be planted in full sunlight and rich
soil if any sort of a showingwas to
be expected. The dark corners of
the garden and those places where'
toil is naturally poor, just simply.had
to go without. All that is changed
now. Listed • in the seed catalogue
will be found flowers that actually
prefer darkish corners, in fact will not
grow 1f exposed to• -•••full -•..sun trona

often have brilliant :coloring too. The
