She arrived at the office of Sierra Steel late, and hlr. Goodwin, whole pnpate KC retary the ie. disapprove of lateness. And then a brath young man helps her find her key and demands a date riiht away. Sharon frownt him down and then diecovert that ha it an ex pert cent from the eastern of fice, and definitely a person of importance. Now Mr, Goodwin hat rung for her. Chapter Two Date With The Bon MR. GOODWIN smiled at Sharon across the polished expanse of his huge mahogany desk. Out of the corner of her eye, ihe was aware that Tom Stafford unfolded himself from the armchair as she came in. "Miss Doyle will see that you have everything you need, Staf ford," Mr. Goodwin said, appar ently continuing a conversation. "Spare us no expense, no service that we can give to assist you." "Thank vou. air. I'll do my best." "Temporarily, you'll share Miss Doyle's office. He turned to Sharon, -nave mat vacant aesK moved nearer the window and see thet another telephone is in stalled at once." "Yes. Mr. Goodwin." Nearer the window and practically elbowing Sharon started. "Why I scarcely" Then meeting Good win's grey eyes intent upon ber, she added more positively. "I didn't like my first impression. Ke appears young, inexperienced, and terribly irresponsible- But that Is probably as untrue aS most first impressions." "Yes, probably. That noncha lance is deliberate camouflage." "Camouflage?" "Look here, Sharon, I really meant what I said about your having luncheon with me. Can you make it?" Could she make HI Sharon felt thrill mushrooming inside. Hadn't she been daydreaming about thiJ moment ever since her first inter view with Harvey Goodwin near ly a year agol Right then she'd promised herself she wouldn't even wish that some day those dark eyes would see her as some thing more than a stenographer. Because wishing wouldn't make it so. But of course she hadn't kept that promise. "Why yes. Thank you," she managed quietly, and prayed he couldn't hear her heart hammer ing. "I've got to go uptown thut morning but I'll meet you at" he glanced at the handsome watch on his wrist, "say about noon at the Trader's Hut" "Good." He turned to the sheal of letters she had laid on his desk. "Get a wire off, in code, to the East saying that Stafford had arrived y?.4 " c -i.sSl. ytt$ &&M v?-.;"' Sharon took out the code book. her own desk. This was going to be just wonderfull "And now I suppose you are anxious to get down to the plant to look things over," Mr. Good win said, smiling pleasantly. Tom Stafford didn't look exact ly as if he were straining at the leash, Sharon thought dryly, watching his easy, unhurried de parture. "Yes, Til move along now." Tom reached for the door. "Miss Doyle, call my car for Mr. Stafford." Sharon's fingers whirled the dial telephone. Even the boss' own chaulfeurd car at Mr. Stafford's services, if you please. Young cheer leader makes good! "No need for that, thanks, Mr. Goodwin," Tom declined easily. "I've a jalopy I picked up in a used car lot this morning." Then, smiling; deliberately at Sharon, "It hasn't much class but it'll get me around." Ignoring the smile, Sharon re placed the receiver. "We'll see you later then." Mr. Goodwin extended his hand. As the door clicked behind Tom, Mr. Goodwin pushed back his chair, crossed to the window. For several minutes he stood, his back to Sharon, his eyes apparently intent on the Bay flung like a brilliant blue carpet at the edge of the buildings swarming back from the Embarcadero. A long while vessel barked away from a pier, headed out to ward the Gate, a tug-boat chuf fing busily in her wake. The view was gorgeous this morning. The wind had swept the air so clear, the scudding clouds had a new washed look. Even the grimy of fice buildincs seemed brighter. But Mr. Goodwin wasn't seeing the Bay nor the tug boat nor the wind-swept skv. She knew that from the tense concentration, the almost unnoticeahle squaring of his shoulders under his perfect fitting coat. Little signs by whirh she was already learning to in tcrnret his moods. He turned toward her sudden ly. Instinctively, Sharon straiglit ened, opened tier notebook. Seeing the gesture, Goodwin relaxed suddenly, smiled at her. "You're a good secretary. Sharon. Tm lucky to have found you." First Imprewtnn SHARON felt her cheeks go crim son. If only she eould master her bshy trick of blushing every time Harvey Goodwin looked at her. But this was the first nraise she had had from him. "Thank you, Mr. Goodwin. I'm lucky to be here." "I'm not so ft i re of that." Drop ping into his hesvilv carved chair behind the desk, he leaned toward her. "You don't like our new en gineer, do you?" And phone the plant foreman to expect him. Take, any long dis-' Unce message that come for me. That's all." Deflated a little by the eurtnesa of her dismissal. Sharon went back to her own desk. She stood a moment at the window, press ing her flushed cheek against the cold pane. Today was the day. Her first date with Harvey Good win. If only she could trust her self to be casual but charming. friendly but not presuming. It would be a test to keep her thrilled delight hidden, to keep her mind alert to the challenge of Mr. Goodwin's keen conversation. She must make him see her as a charming woman and companion as well as an efficient piece of office machinery. It was hitching her ambitions to a kite, she told herself wrvlv. But then, she waa twenty and it was Spring and there was no tax on ambitions! She went to the wall safe. to. k out the code hook. Strange that Mr. Goodwin had wanted this tel egram sent In rode. After alL nothing very secret about the ar rival of someone you'd been told to expect. Still, hers not to reason why. But hers to wonder how she'd happened to choose this morning of all the others to wear her new suit the first really good outfit she'd ever had! Mavbe she should make a habit of breaking mirrors! I.unch With Glamor THE Trader's Hut was one of San Francisco's smart new snots. Sharon had passed it dor ens of times on the street car and rend about it in the society chat columns. Now, trembling, she pushed her way into the crowded fover, trving hard not to stare at the nrettv women, at their rich furs, their expensively ridiculous hats, their good-looking escorts. Mr Goodwin was waiting tall, superbly erect, his lather sternly handsome face nude him out standing even in this smart crowd. Sharon was aware of a new thrill as, catching iht of her, he smiled, made his way toward her, obviously eager. "Hello. I hoped vou wouldn't I forget." He caught her hand. pressed It lightly, tucked it under his arm. Forget! Her eves fiard with 1 smile. "How eould P This Is very sneeial treat." She glanced toward the softly lighted dining room beyond Ha waiian beach scenes and seascanei splashed lavishly on the walls with blue and silver naint Lush hibis cus bhv.soms and verdantly green Dalrrs like hu"e bouquets seprrat. ing the low bamboo tables and chairs. An Hawaiian orchestra strumming romantic tslsnd music. T bt eenllnaed Galloway's Removal Sought by Farrell Oregon City, Jan. 30 Speaker of the State House of Representatives Robert S.
