CHAPTER VII
Paul Sherman's warning had dis
turbed Joan Paul had said that
Karl would never marry her Why?
Paul had even challenged her to
find out for herself whether or not
Karl was sincere.
She was awake early the next
morning. Lazily she watched Sybil
dress to leave for the beauty shop,
When Sybil had gone Joan tried
to sleep but it was useless, At nine
o'clock she rose, dressed, and drank
a glass of orange juice and a cup of
coffee.
Shortly before ten she left the
apartment and went downtown To
satisfy her curiosity she walked past

no end
She meets his club manager,
Paul Sherman, who warns her about
working for Karl, but refuses to give his
reasons. Then Karl Introduces her to
his partner, Eric Strom, and she refuses
hl« secret Invitation to dinner. During
a ride with Karl they board a freighter
ship and when Karl asks her If he can
show her the world she melts Into his
arms with an affirmative answer. Sybil

Strom seizes an opportunity to try to
make love to her, when Paul Sherman
walks In and knock« him out with one
blow. Karl sends Joan with a package
to the freighter captain. Paul follows.
He takes her to a hotel grill.
Now continue with the story.
"Listen to me, Joan!” Paul said
in a low voice. "You were right.
I have been following you but only
for your own protection. You don’t
know what you're getting into. I've
tried to warn you but you won’t
listen."
“You have never said anything ex
cept that I wasn’t the type to work
in a night club.” In spite of her an
noyance, she felt compelled to lis
ten.
"There are some things I can’t
tell you, but you must trust me. Do
you think I'd be risking my own po
sition this way if I didn’t feel that
it was terribly important?"
Silently she stared at him.
"I know you think you’re in love
with Karl,” Paul went on quickly.
"But if he is sincere, Joan, why
doesn’t he ask you to marry him?
Isn’t that proof enough that there’s
something wrong with the picture?"
His steady brown eyes gazed into
hers, She twisted her hands nerv-
ously. Paul's words had quickened
the doubt in her own heart but she
said calmly, "I don't see that it's
any of your business.”
He smiled wryly. "I'm only us-
ing that as an example to prove to
you that Karl Miller is not on the
level. Believe me, I don’t go around
meddling in other people's affairs
without reason.”
The sincerity In his voice was un
mistakable as he continued, "1 can't
tell you now what that reason is.
All I can do is to warn you that
Karl Miller will never marry you.”
Her voice was ragged with alarm.
"How do you know? What right
have you to say that?"
"You poor kid! You're really in
love with him, aren't you?”
A lump rose in her throat. "He's
wrong about Karl,” she thought.
"He must be. Karl loves me!”
Paul went on, "There's no use
kidding yourself, Joan! If you don't
believe me. why don’t you ask him
and find out for yourself’"
Joan raised challenging green
eyes to his. "All rightl Maybe I
will!"
