NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY


CHE was free, she was free!
~ Julia looked around the old parlol
happily, and then with a little gesture
turned out the gas and went slowly
upstairs. Outside of JIucy's room what
had happened that day reoccurred to
Julia, and she tried TO think it out.
First had come Lucy's outburst in which
she had told Julia that it would be
wrong to marry Dan. Then had come
Starr Jordan and Ldcy's strange be
havior after Starts brief visit was over,
Then Dan had gone up to Lucy's room
after dinner, and when he had come
down he had given Julia her freedom.
Was it because of any feeling for Lucy
that Dan had done this? That Nigh.
explain everything, and yet Dams atti
tude had been one of misery. Plainly
he had been making a sacrifice. Julia
felt that he still loved her.
There was Lucy's strange interference
to explain, too, and yet when Julia
opened the door and went into Lucy's
room she saw Immediately that Lucy
had been weeping. She Strengthened up
In bed when she saw Julia, and Mrs.
Grant, who had evidently been trying
to make Lucy talk, turned around
quickly.

In a rush.
Julia nodded.
Julia, what do you mean?" Mrs.
Grants tone was worried. 'Why has
Lucy been crying, do you know?'
Julia turned truthful eyes upon her
and shook herr head. II don't know.
Mother, not q thing, but the engage
msnt between Dan and me is all over {;
we're finished"
''Do you think you know your own
mind now?" Mrs. Grant said bitingly,
furious in her disappointment and her
failure to get Julia married.
After Mrs. Grant had gone down
stairs. leaving the two girls alone, Lucy
turned to Julia suddenly.

were thoughtful. Il made him give

but he still loves you. He doesn't

IL he cared for me the least little BIZ
in any way; il I could see any happi-
ness ahead - Big tears began to roll
down her checks.
There was silence. Julia felt tireG
and exhausted. She dropped down or
the bed and rested her cheek against the
footboard.
''Is there anything you need before
go to bed?"
But Lucy did not answer Her blonde
head was turned away from Julia hel
face partly buried in the pillow. Julis

The Testing of
Julia Grant
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
COPYRIGHT, 1919. bv the pubtio LEDGER Co.
READ THIS FIRST


When Dan Carson asked Julia
Grant for his release from their en-
gagoment he did not dream that
months later he would be engaged a
second time to marry her and that the
tables would be turned and he would
be offering Julia her release. This is
just what happened, for after her
experience with Dan Julin had gone
in hospital and had met Or. John
Norville. She dhl not know, how
ever, that she loved him until she
had given her promise to Dan, aud
then further complications came about
through Julin's younger sister. Lucy.
who confessed to Julia that she. too,
loved Dan. 1t was Lucy who threat
ened to tell Julia the truth about why
Dan had come back TO her, and be
cause of this Dan offered Julia her
freedom.

INFLUENZA IN ENGLAND
Is AGAIN EPIDEMIC
Situation Is Serious, There Being
Shortage Of Doctors and
80 Nurses.s..@ A..

LONDON. March II Correspond
ences of the Associated Press).-The
return epidemic Of influenza finds
England SO short of doctors and
nurses that according to reports
from various parts of the country.
there are not enough even to give
casual attention to patients. The
strain on the medical men who are
trying to cope with the emergency
Ia SO severe that there is danger of
many of them breaking down. es-
pecialy in the north of England.
where the epidemic is raging with
unusual violence.
According to a statement In the
house Of commons by Winston
ChHchill. secretary for war, only
1.500 of the 1900 doctors in the
Army last November have been de-
mobilized. and of $4,000 nurses only
5000 have been released.
Doctors emphasize the need for
nurses in fighting influenza. They
point out that in q large number Of
cases nurses are more required than
physicians. and II more nurses were
available the doctors would have the
time they now lack to devote to the
serious cases.
From early morning until far into
the night the overworked physician
titioner shows that in one day he
treated ninety-six private patients
and 100 public patients. His labors
began at am. and extended well
into the night.

new PLAN FOR FINANCING
ENGINE AND CAR BUILDERS

A new plan for financing locomotive
and car builders. developed by the
railroad administration and the Treas
ury. is based on the proposal that the
railroad administration shall issue
warrants or certificates of indebted
ness to equipment companies. which
may borrow from the War Finance
Corporation with these warrants as
security.
This plan has not yet been fully
matured, 1t was said today. but 1t is
certain that the former suggestion for
the issuance of trade acceptances by
equipment companies on the director
general has been abandoned, because
of doubt whether these would be ELI
gible for rediscount with federal re-
serve banks. since a government
agency would constitute the acceptor.
The new plan Is similar to that prac-
ticed by the railroad administration in
dealings with railroad companies to
whom the railroad administration
owes money.

CASES OF TUBERCULOSIS
IN SERVICE ESTIMATED
Vocational Education Board Finds
10000 to 1000 Among Former
Soldiers, Sailors, Marines.

The federal board for vocational
education has announced that it has
learned there will be between $4,000
and 10000 tuberculosis cases among
discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. The federal board for voca-
tional training expects to reclaim a
large number of them.
The Canadian treatment, which has
been found successful. will be fol-
lowed in many instances in this
country. The system explodes to a
certain degree the old idea that per-
sons suffering from tuberculosis
must do outdoor work. According to
the board, . great variety of indoor
oceupatins can be followed with
safety to the patient provided living
and working conditions are proper.

Denies Linking Bolshevism.

4 have stated nothing which would
seem to link bolshevism to the league
Of nations as in the same class. The
league of nations was not mentioned
in the letter to which you refer. The
two subjects were Informally touched
upon with the head Of the department
of English at the same time, and they
have been brought up to me by others
IN informal discussion. but not with
relation to anything they have in
common. but only as illustrations of
markedly different types of subjects.
! believe heartily in a league of ma
t3ons, but 1 recognize that certain
phases Of the general subject have
taken on q highly controversial ma
fnre. and think 1t advisable for
teachers to be careful in going into
these controversial phases. Much, of
course. can be stated about q league
Of nations without in any sense run
ming into the controversial phases. /
cannot find that any order has been
ISSUED forbidding the actual or mere
mention by the teachers generally of
any particular subject ] expect teach
ers to use good judgment in the han
ding OF the topics which arise. It u
Aighly to the credit Of our teaching
force that in all these recent years the
vast mass of teachers have handled
the subjects of current topics with
good judgment and sound common
