The Testing of Julia Grant
In Which Julia Does Not Find Great Happiness in

Imagination. She thought of it as liv-
ing thing and she herself was part of
its great machinery, a small cog in an
enormous wheel.
At night, when she went to bed
she tried to think. but she was too
utterly tired, and she fell asleep try
ing to analyze her own feelings
The next morning after Grace Mcr-
ritt had sought Julia out. Julia re
membered the whole conversation be-
tween them.

everything" Grace had said tonelessly.

"I'm not going to be suspended but they

Julia knew why she had done it. Be
cause Grace Merritt had gone through
the same experience that she herself
had, because n man had treated her
with the same disregard of every con-
sderation that Dan had used toward
Julia. That had been yesterday. To-
day everything was changed. She, Julia
was once more reinstated, she would
soon be reinstated in the eyes of the
world, she was engaged to be married
and yet realization stabbed her when
ever she stopped to think, that she was
no happier than Grace Merritt herself
Julia had spoken hcsitatiugly. She did
not want to give Grace Merritt the idea
that she wanted to NEEDLE. you'll be
careful, won't you?' she had asked
''the next time will really end things.
II suppose you feel responsible for
me-" Grace had sneered, but her lips
were white and her blue eyes had looked
dead as though she hadn't slept for a
great many nights. Julia did not resent
Grace's attitude. She did not want to
be thanked for what she had done, and
she knew that Grace was too miserable
to reason matters out. If the truth be
told, Grace was too unhappy to care
very much whether she was kept in tn,
hospital or not. She wanted to craw
off somewhere and be utterly alone
away from the mocking light in the eyes
of DR.. Dick Nugent.

There is no disillusionment so COM
plete as a girls disappointment in the
man she loves. Julia Grant loved Dan
Carson, and thought he loved her
until he confessed his infatuation for
another woman, then Julia released
him from their engagement. But
when Dan discovered that the other
woman was only playing with him. he
wanted Julia back, Julia had taken
mp nursing and was trying to forget.
What would you have done? Would
you have taken back man who had
cast you off for some one else? Julia
Grant did just that. Moreover she
interceded with the authorities of the
hospital on the behalf of nurse who
was unfriendly to her, for the simple
reason that Grace has been treated

MODERN ARGONAUTS COME
 TO GRIEF

How the famous little power schoon- CT "Casco," once Robert Louis Stew enson's home in the South Seas, met its fate in the cold waters of the Arc tic is wildly told in a profusely il- lustrated story by Lawrence w. Ped rose in the January Ppoular Mechanics Magazine. Manned by crew of gold seekers, the "Casco" passed into the Arctic in July, 1919, its destination the fabled gold fields along the Koly- ma River, in northeastern Siberia.
 It succeeded in fighting it's way westward as far as North Cape, reach ing the farthest north of any vessel in the world last season, being balk- ed by the unusual ice conditions of the year, the large frozen fields mov- ing down earlier and in greater strength than usual.
 Several times the little vessel was caught in the ice, but managed to es- cape. At North Cape it found the ice barrier impenetrable and had to turn back in wild race to escape into Bering Sea before the ice blocked Der ing Strait.
 The "Casco" finally gained Boring Strait only to be flung ashore on the King Island rocks. The crew was sav- ed and taken back to the United Stat es in a coast-guard cutter. ,
