the same manner as she had been on
that fatrful night long ago when she
had made up her mind to ask Dan
what was wrong. She studied her face
in the glass and found it changed. Why
shouldn t it be changed? She felt years
older. she felt that her face should be
old and haggard and full of lines. and
yet save for n certain heaviness of the
eyes and q droop to the mouth, she was
the same Julia Grant
She heard Mary toll up the stairs and

knock on tho door and Julia went
to open it. Mary herself stood on the
threshold.
Miss Julia. there's some one down
stairs to see you she said.

Mary shifted from one foot 10 the

wearincss. The house was large ana
she was the only maid. She grumbled
constantly at the work. but there was
certain stubborn faithfulness about
her that made her stay on with the
Grants even when she knew that she
could get a place where the work would
be much easier. She smiled now at
Julia.

Strange to say as Julia went down
the two fights of dark stairs she had
no idea who was waiting for her, and

world to see Doctor Norville rise from a
chair and come toward her.

She flung out her hands in little
gesture of despair.

and he took her chin in his hand and
forced her head back so that he could

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

TULlA did not know what was wrong
- with Lucy. Once she had discovered
the younger girl crying in their room
and when she had asked Lucy what
wa1 wrong, that young woman had only
shaken her head and refused TO answer.
Julia might have given more thought
% Lucy's attitude if she had not been
% thoroughly occupied with her own
problem. Her one thought these days
was to prevent Dan from discovering
the fact that she haG to grit her teeth
whenever he touched her, that she had
to force every bit of natural enthusiasm
about the approaching event. And Dan
was blind. delightfully."- blind. he did
not see because he did not want to
see, he was apparently perfectly con-
tented with life.
Julia had not heard word from the
hospital since she had stolen away from
1t in the night, and three days had
passed away. 1t seemed like three
years, and the thought If the years that
stretched ahead was terrifying when
she allowed herself to think at all.
Mrs. Grant had unbent to the extent
of allowing Julia to occupy the spare
room, and Julia had at least the com
fort of privacy. 1t wasn't so great a
consolation to- her as it would have
been if she had understood what was
the matter with Lucy. For the first
time since she could remember. Lucy
was hard to understand. The child
hood clarity that had always character
lied her had given way to womanly
reserve. Julia felt Lucv's wide blue
eyes fixed on her very often. She felt
in n way that Lucy was observing her,
scrutinizing her. 1t was puzzling in
the extreme. Lucy had changed in
other ways too. She had become more
quiet, and she did not frizz her narr
so violently. She copied some of Julia S
mannerisms, and she even put on her
clothes differently so that she seemed
toned down.
On the third evening after Julia s
fight from the hospital, Julia was sit
