YESTERDAY: Sharon Is lit

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

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

SINGLE-HANDED SUB CAPTURE
Lieutenant Campbell was an officer aboard a British "Q" boat. Thesa war small vassals
mounted with guns, but disguised as merchantmen or trawlers to lure submarines within
striking range. When his ship was torpedoed Campbell, along with the rest of the crew, was
forced into the water, there being no lifeboats. After capturing the sub, Campbell was given
the Victoria Cross for his exploit.
CONTRARY MIX
Cryostase is a mixture of equal parts of phenol, camphor and saponin, with a little tur
pentine oil added. Unlike most mixtures, which become thinner when heated, cryostase solidifies!
