The Testing of Julia Grant
By HAZEL DEl'O BATCHELOU

Lucy Plays Eavesdropper
IlEAD THIS FlttST In Wn linn? Whv ill.ln't she lot .him
Julia Grant has promised n second bo so tliat she, Lucy, might have Mm?
(
umo to marry Dan (jargon, even
though he jilted her temporarily for
another woman. At the time this
happened, Julia went Into a hospital
fo study nursing, and there met an
other type of man, Dr. John Nor-
vllle, the head surgeon. It wasn't
until after she had given her promise
to Dan Carson that she realized her
feelings toward the doctor, and then
it was too late. Her wedding day is
approaching when suddenly Doctor
Norrillo appears on tho scene.
NOW 00 ON WITH THE STOltY
SOMETHING that Julia and Doctor
Norville wero entirely unconscious of
was the fact that soma ono else had
seen Julia come Into the room, had Been
the two meet and had heard everything
that was said. That evening right after
dinner Lucy had gone down to see Inez
Holt for a few minutes. Iner. ITnlr hnn.
opened to bo Lucy's most cherished
friend and confidante, she was the one
person who knew exactly.how Lucy felt
toward her sister's lover, for Lucy con
fided everything to her nnd the two girls
anguished together over what Inez
termed "the saddest end most romantic
situation" she had ever known. Lucy
had not received the sympathy from her
mother that she had expected, but what
Mrs. Grant refused Inea supplied
lavishly, and it comforted Lucy some
what to tell in detail what had happened
or what she had imagined had happened
between herself and her future brother-in-law.
"Sometimes he looks at me in the
most solemn way." Sho.had told Inez
ithat night. "Just as though he were
miserable about something. Tou know
how cold Julia Is, Inez, she simply never
unoenas, i aon t dciicvc biio cares much
for him."
In the mind of Inez. Julia was a
I' character of romance, and Inez secretly
' admired the older girl extravagantly.
Julia was like a princess, Inez could
much more readily imagine a man be
ing wildly in lovo with her than she
'ould with Lucy. But then of course,
Lucy was her own particular friend,
and she had to be loyal, and so she
1 responded as sympnineucany as sue
could and waited eagerly for Lucy to
tell her more.
"I don't believe Dan really cares for
Julia bo very much, do you?" Lucy
went on. "With nil I have told you I
think you can imagine how things arc.
Of course Julia is my own sister nnd
there is nothing at all I can do, and
still be fair to her. And of course there
Js nothing Dan can do. Ho wouldn't
dare do anything to Julia a second time
even if ho wanted to."
And Inez agreed that such a thing
would bo simply impossible. Inez was
not very responsive that evening nnd
Lucy went early with the consciousness
that she had not impressed Inez over
much. Sho returned to tho house nnd
let herself into the basement by n clever
turn of the wrist and the hand slipped
through the iron grill of the door. Only
the very slimmest hand could undo the
rntrJi In liist that way. in fact. Lucy
was the only one in the house who could
manage it successfully.
The basement was dark and Mary
had gono upstairs. Lucy was about to
run lightly up tho first flight of stairs
that led to tho parlor floor when bho
heard voices and she slopped to listen.
She expected to hear Julia nnd Dnu,
but much to her surprise it was not Dun
Carson's voice that she heard. This man
had a much deeper voice; and Lucy,
without a moment's hesitation, crept
softly upstairs to listen. It was thus
that sho heard the cntiro conversation
and she was hidden on the stairs when
th hell nettled suddenly and startled
Julia and Doctor Norylllo npart. Lucy's
heart was beating furiously; she could
hardly think, thoughts wero dartiug so
auickly through her brain. No wonder
Julia had been acting so coldly of late
toward Dan. It wasn't because of her
nature, it was because she had fallen
in love with some ono else. Well, if the
loved some ono else, why did she want
Lucy had thought of herself so much of
late ns a heroine of fiction, she had told
Inez Holt so often that she was certain
flint Dun wna In love with her. and in
honor bound couldn't speak, that she
had actually come to believe It herself.
Lucy was certain that Dan would come
to her with an offer of marriage If Julia
would only release him.
She crouched there on tho stairs lis
tening nnd heard Julia come out of the
back parlor nnd go through tho hall to
tin. Annr. She henrd Dnn come in. and
then there was a brief hesitation. Lucy
could not see but she was certain that
Dan hnd taken Julia into his arras and
was kissing her. Sho shivered a little.
Then she heard them como nlong the
hnll nnd co Into the back parlor. She
listened intently, nnd then the faint
glow that came into Uie hall from the
lighted room beyond, was suddenly shut
off. Julia nau cioscu mo uoor.
Lucy clenched her bands In fury. She
felt that something drnmatic was going
on behind that closed door, and here
was she shut out, unable to hear a
thing. It was the more maddening be
cause she felt that she ought to hear.
It concerned her vitally, for she was
ono of the principal llgurcs in this tan
gle whether the others realised it or
not.

SOLOMON HAS GOT NOTHING
ON POLICE OF MANAYUNK
Couldn't Keep Loafers Off Joe Goodman's Bench, So Warm
Bench Themselves Now in Station House
BY SITTING on a bench themselves
the Mnnayunk police solved the
problem of keeping loafers from it. But
Joo Goodman, big and fat, who pre
sented the problem to the police for
solution, hasn't any bench to sit on today-
,
Goodman keeps n furniture store in
Main street below Green lane, Mana
yunk. Tor a long time he had a fine
lawn bench In front of his place for his
own use during idle hours.
Young men of the town grew to like
the bench, nnd Goodman nt last found
that ho sometimes had to stand up,
even though he owned the bench.
So he complained to the police.
Patrolman "Billy" Fair, of the Main
and Corson sheets polico station, prom
jsod Goodman, when the store was being
WANAMAKER'S DOWN STAIRS STORE fWANAMAKERgf
closed last Saturday night, thui he
would rec that loafers were kept away
from the bench until the store re
opened today.
But ns fast as the policeman would
order onn crowd nway another would
assemble.
Then 1'olleeman Fair lifted the inm 1
to his shoulder and carried it to the I
police station. Tlicrc it was sate, mid
the r-serves enjoyed having it around,
for they found it comfortable.
When Goodman went to his store this
morning and found that the bench was
gone he reported tt tho police that
somo ono had stolen it.
Ho was assured that his piece of
furniture was safe and would be re
turned to the corner whenever he gave
the word.
