77te J'esftn of Julia Grant
By HAZEL I)EVO rjATGHELOR

The Entering Wedge
head this nnsT
Julia Grant mode one mlstnke nnd
that Tvns in not tboroURlily tcstliid
her icellnjra when lio took Han Cnr
son back Into licr lite. He linil jilted
her for another woraau nud after
vard, when the woman refused liim,
h went back to Julia. It was nftcr
sho had promised n second time to
to marry him that Julia discovered
her love for John Norvllle, but she
had Riven her promise to Dan and
nolhlnK could persuade her to break
it. Even her discovery that her
Joungcr Bister, Lucy, had fallen in
love with Dan failed to swerve Julia
from the course she thought rlsht,
and llieu n few days before the wed
dlnn titicy had an accident.
NOW (JO ON AVITII TIII3 STOHY
JULIA went on looking at Dan
steadily.
"What was it that you wanted to
bay?" she asked finally.
- IIo looked manifestly uncomfortable,
but be went on. "I wondered if wo
couldn't slip off nnd be married quietly
without uny fuss."
Something tightened in Julia's heart,
something that made her suddenly want
to bo cruel and hard. Dan had pushed
her too far.
"Now?" was all shc said.
' IIo nodded eagerly. "Any time you
say. I can't wait for you indefinitely.
I ran'l postpone things again."
"You can't postpone things, Dan,
you can't!" Julia burst out. "What
about me, what about I.ury? Don't
you ever think about ony one but your
self? You feel sorrier for yourself this
minute than jou do for any one else.
This thing doesn't touch you, this acci
dent to liiicy, the anxiety and worry
hanging over nil of us. Tho first thing
you think of is the marriage, and
whether or not 5oti will have to wait.
"If ou love me." Dan began.
"If 1 loved you! Well, 1 can't stop
to think of love now. I'm not thinking
of mjself at all. I must go back to
Luej. She's been ijing there uncon
scious for nges ; she hasn't spoken to
any one for I don't know how long, and
here we arc talking about our small
selves."
Julia turned tonanf (lie door, and
Dan caught her arm.
"Don't go that way, Julia. I'll do
anything .you say, nnything."
''Theft, let me co." .
And without nnother word Julia was
out of the room nnd was running up
the stnirs. Dan stood for u moment
where she had left him. He stood ir
resolute, not knowing what to do next.
He felt suddenly helpless, his marriage
that ho had looked forward to with all
of his heart no longer lay just ahead of
him. Ho could not sny to himself that
after such and such n day Julia would
be his. Tate had chosen to hold this
thing that he wanted most just out ot
his reach. He felt u sudden auger to
ward Julia. Why shouldn't ho think of
himself, what was the idea of her tak
ing that attitude as though he were en
tirely selfish, as though she despised
hlmV He began to feel himself en
tirely wronged ! and, strange to sny, with
that thought came sudden thoughts of
Lucy. His first feeling when ho had
come into the liou;o to find that some
thing was wrong, had been one of shock
but to Lucy herself he had given no
thought nt all. Now he thought of Lucy
personally Ijing upstairs unconscious.
IIo remembered certain little tilings
nlrout her. Tho wny she had kept up
his spirits while Julia was in the hospi
tal. The way she had assured him time
and again that everything would come
out all right. She had never been nny
thing but loyal toward him. Sho was
always encouraging, admiring and sym
pathetic, sho would never have flamed
out at him and made him feel as
despicable as Julia had.
Other things nbout Lucy kept occur
ring to him. Her soft little fingers,
small and feminine. Once when he had
taken her hand in his nnd hnd failed to
release it immediately her lingers had
trembled in Ills for n moment, and
then had twined themselves like little
tendrils about his hand. It had been
a pleasant feeling for him. It had given '
him a sense of power, nnd lie had1
looked down nt the flushed clucks nnd
tho down-dropped eyelids, nnd hnd
thought of Lucy very tenderly. Not ns
he thought of Julia, not with tnnt leap
ing of pulses that characterized his love
for her, but with a something thnt was
very soothing to remember.
Another tlm he had said something
nnd Lucy hnd looked up nt him quickly.
Her blue ccs were filled with n poit
of adoration, and he had stooped anil
kissed her lightly. Dan did not think
of this ns uufnlr to Julia.' IIo thought
of himself ns Lucy's brother, but it was
not displeasing to him when she caught
her breath nnd turned very white nnd
told him thnt he must never do such
a thing aguln. Of course, he had dis
missed it from his mind after that
night, but it occurred to hint now.
strange to say. It established a bond
between himself, and Lucy; it tempered
the bitterness of his feeling toward
Julta ; it came as almot n terelation.
Why should he remember nil ot these
things; why? He hnd n sudden dosiie
to do something to be of use, to pav a
service of some kind to Lucy, his little
friend, but he felt in the way and he
finally left, tho liouso with his brain in
n turmoil. '
Upstairs Lucy had opened her blue
eyes nnd had looked nt her sister, who
was bending over her. Hut there wasn't
n trace of recognition in tlioc eyes,
nnd Julia's own filled with tears. Llt
tic Lucy, her little sister and the bnr
rler that hnd existed between them for
days was now wider than ever.
