I CHAPTER Arthur Mulfords secretary faced him unsuspectingly across the massive mahogany desk. You wanted to see me, Mr. ? Mul-ford- The man surveyed the slender ure before him. Its like this, Joan, he said figde- Ill have to let you go. Joan Leland stared at him in astonishment. You mean Im fired? Mulford shrugged. Thats it. But why? What have I done? He picked up a sheaf of papers and reached for the telephone. I dont care to discuss it. Youll receive your next two weeks salary, of course, but you need not finish out the month. You mean this is my last day? Yes! Thats all, Joan! The late October sunshine flowed in pale golden streams across the busy streets of San Francisco as Joan left the office for the apartment she shared with her sister. Fired! There was something almost sinister about this abrupt dismissal. After two years on the job! Thank heaven,. Sybil has a job! Joan thought. The apartment boasted a fireplace and long windows. It was part of one of the old mansions for which San Francisco is famous. A regal building that had housed one of the great families of the city, now cast off by their grandchildren and subdivided into studio apartments. True, there was seldom enough heat and the cooking facilities were inadequate, but the old house reflected the charm and graciousness of the past. Joan glanced lovingly about the room. The girls had used their furniture left to them by their parents. It was heavy, and rather but it suited the room. A voice from the bedroom hailed her. Joan? That you? Why, Syb! What are you doing home so early? I thought the beauty shop was staying open until seven this month. Sybil appeared in the doorway clad in dressing gown and slippers, cigarette in hand. Her blonde hair curled meticulously; her blue eyes were a trifle hard. The two girls seemed to have little in common in appearance or temperament." Joan, brunette, twenty, restless, impulsive. Sybil, seven years older, inclined to caution, especially where men were concerned. Sybil had been married and divorced when she was twenty-onSince then she had been determined to save Joan from making the same mistake. " Never trust any man, was Sybils motto, but Joan did not take it too seriously, suspecting that her sisters cynicism was covering a broken heart. What a day! Sybil said, drearily throwing herself upon the couch, I have some news for you. Sis. I have something to tell you, Ive lost too, Joan said grimly. my job! Mr. Mulford gave me two weeks salary and told me not to come back! Oh, Sybil sat up Joan! No! He wouldnt even give me a reaJoan continued heatedly. I son, cant understand it. Im sure there isnt anything wrong with my work. Theres something very strange about this, Syb! Mr. Mulford seemed positively anxious to get rid of me. I But, Joan, Sybil interrupted, lost my job today too! The girls stared at each other in slsriria The beauty shop is closing, Sybil said, breaking the silence. This is my last week.

Jobs arent easy to get Dont be a pessimist, darling! Joan advised. She tied a colored apron around her waist and went into the kitchen. Theres nothing to worry about in tonight.

Joan inquired, frowning. Two or three dollars. And you? I have this check from Mr. Mulford. That will pay the rent for another month. Sybil shivered and drew her quilted satin robe closer. What are we going to do then? You couldnt return the coat? No. Its been altered. Ill start looking tomorrow, Joan said resolutely. Mr. Mulfords usually at the store until late. Im going to telephone him and tell him Ill stop by the morning to get a reference. I forgot all about it this afternoon. I was so upset. Sybil watched in silence as Joan dialed the number.

The hand that indicated a chair was beautifully shaped, the fingers tapering and artistic. There was something strangely magnetic about this I Sybil suggested. cant think when Im hungry.
