Since she had promised to marry Redman, everything seemed to be wrong. ~Illustrated by Millet. "I came," Carola sald earnestly, as soon as she could get her breath, "because I love you, of course." "Fifteen," someone else said. In a matter of seconds, the bid- ding reached fifty dollars. Lanny sat down. "Sorry, Carola," he said, 'I've only got forty dollars to my name." Carola sighed with relief. "Oh Lanny, you shouldn't have tried, But thanks anyway." She smooth- ed the pink linen skirt which accented thé 'daintiness of her . Redman leaned over.

"Shut up," he said under his breath. "Can't you see I've got to bid, to keep up appear- ances. Why doesn't that chump stop bidding? Three h and ninety-five," he called. A hush fell over the crowd. The other bidder shook his head and then mopped his brow with a handkerchief. "Sold," the tioneer cried. "Sold to Redman Bixby. Right here, sir," he pointed to the bookkeeper's desk. The wind rustled the leaves slightly as Redman walke through the camp chairs to pay for the box. His face was flushed red with triumph, and a smile was half-fixed on his mouth. Carola saw with a start that Lanny had gone. Without a word to any- one, she left the auction and hur- ried down the mill path, hoping against hope that Lanny would be at the mill. They used to play there, when they were kids. As she rounded the bend, her heart nearly stopped when she did not see him. Then she saw that he was sitting on a big rock, his head in his hands, staring gloomily into the mill water. "Lanny," she called, "Lanny, it's Carola." He unfolded his length, slowly, as if he didn't believe that Car- ola was there. "Carola," he mur- mured, "why . .. did you come?" "I came," she said earnestly, as soon as she could get her breath, "because I love you, of course." "But , . . but, I thought . . . that is, Redman," he stammered. "Redman, nothing," Carola said firmly, moving closer to him. 'I've loved you all along, I guess, but I had to make sure. That's why I asked you to come to the auction with us. I proved that Redman didn't really love me at all I was just another posses- on." "But he got the box for you, didn't he?" Lanny asked. "Oh, yes," Carola said, "just to show you up in front of every- one. Well, he can have it, and good luck to him." Lanny ran his hand through his hair. "Gosh," he said, "gosh, [ never thought you'd fall for me. All these years I've dreamed, but Redman had so much more to offer, I didn't say anything." Carola smiled. "I knew you loved me, when you were willing to lose your books just to buy the box for me." JA troubled expression crept Into Lanny's eyes. "That's some- thing else again, Carola. We can't get married until I can afford the books, and from the looks of things, it's going to take me qui a while to save enough for them. Carola took Lanny's arm and laughed softly. "That's the funny part of it, darling. We have enough now, thanks to Redman and his ego. That music box was mine, you know." s For above, and other job vacancies apply to 22 Albert Street, Oshawa, Ont, Make full use of the Local Office of Mationdl (Employment Service.

Baby Crab Shares Paddling Beach Coarse Grain Picture Bad Throughout Ontario, Claim Ottawa, July 12.--(CP)--The nue merical condition of spring wheat in Canada as of June 30, express- ed as a percentage of the long- time average yield per acre, was 125 per cent, compared with 122 at the corresponding date last year, the Dominien Bureau of Statistics reports. The numerical condition of all wheat, including spring and fall, al- so was 125 while the condition fig- ure for oats was 88, barley 91, all rye 87 and flaxseed 93. Significant "Significant" advances are indi- cated for most coarse grains in Manitoba and Saskatchewan but elsewhere the situation is reversed, with a "very poor" outlook prevailing throughout the eastern provinces, particularly in Ontario. Over-all prospects for feed grain crops were "not too encouraging." | While the outlook in the Prairie Happy young holiday-makers at St. Leonards-on-Sea, England, show keen interest but keep their toes at a | respectful distance as they find their paddling beach shared by a baby crab. ~ Czech Paris By DEWITT MACKENZIE A. P. Foreign Affairs Analyst Whatever may be the real signi- ficance of Cazechoslovakia's deci- sion to attend the forthcoming Par- is conference on the Marshall rehab ilitation plan (and the import cer- tainly isn't clear at this writing) it's good to see this liberty-loving lit- tle republic among the acceptors of the invitation. There is no country in whose heart the fire of freedom burns more fiercely, and it would have been a matter of keen regret to many, including your correspond- ent, if her membership in the Rus- sian bloc had compelled her to de- cline participation in the parley. It has been my privilege to know Ozechoslovakia well from her birth, and to have had the acquaint ace of the late Dr. Thomas Masar- yk, father of his country and her first president. And so, knowing her fighting spirit so well, it would have been a shock if she had stay- ed away from Paris on orders from Moscow after she already had ex- pressed a qesire 30 bo yiresant, Naturally Prague's acceptance of the Anglo-French invitation to join in the economic discussion has giv- en rise to widespread speculation, in view of Russia's condemnation of the Marshall program and refus- al to participate in it. Why should Moscow seemingly acquiesce now? The answer would appear to be one of two things: 1. Czechoslovakia refused to take orders from anybody, or (2) Mos- cow decided it would be a good thing for the Slavic bloc to be re- presented by Prague at Paris. Strangely eniugh, at the same time, a Czechslovak source in Prague was quoted as suggesting that Russia herself might try to Is Said Most Heartening Agreement | back into the conference. Simul- taneously in London Foreign Min- ister Bevin indicated that the door still was open to Russia. He ex- pressed joy that Czechoslovakia would attend the conference and declared that the Marshall pro- gram was a step toward "a great unity of peoples throughout the world. Eyes of World Thus the eyes of the world are centered on the Czechoslovakian de- velopment. Probably we shall not know its meaning until the Paris conference has demonstrated it by words and deeds. However, there are some addi- tional interesting facts relating to the situation.: We know that not only Czechoslovakia but all the other countries in Russia's zone of influence, are anxious to become beneficiaries of Uncle Sam's bounty. At least some of them have been hoping to secure loans and other material assistance with- out reciprocity. Russia's announced objection to the Marshall program has been the claim that it would place Euro- pean countries under an obligation to the United States and so impinge upon their sovereignty. But there has been no indication that Mos- cow would object to the plan if it were all give and no take on America's part. Naturally the Western Allies would like . nothing better than whole-hearted, all-out co-operation by Russia, Observers note, how- ever, that there is another kind of "co-operation" which can result in the scuttling of a program -- the sort of co - operation shown in the constant employment of the veto for the purpose of ob- struction, The Western Allies Som want that kind of "co-opera- on," 11 Pupils Pass Entrance Tests At Greenbank Greenbank, July 10.--Congratula- tions are in order to Marian Wale ler, William Tait, Willlam Holden and Murdoch Blair for passing their Entrance examinations at Port Perry.
