over again. This time the doctors
made an incision in my legand put in
a plate to keep the bones in place.
The constant shock to my nerves
made the effect of the last operation
of more importance than the others.
When they told me that had to go
through it again just felt it was not
worth the trouble.

night before the operation), 81 don't

to me things would then adjust them

foundation for those who would be
left behind"
Dear Mrs Selwin looked at me
shrewdly. 'Margie, my child" she
said, there is one great obstacle to
the working out of your morbid the
DRY. In the first place, we can't die
by just wishing to do so, which by the
way is good thing, as most all of us
have wished for a moment at some
time or other that we could die, and
if the wish was always granted the
world would be depopulated in short
order
you don't wish to die, my dear.
You only wish to get out of your pres
ent unhappiness.
She was silent for a moment, and
then taking my hand in both of hers
she continued: ''Margie, believe you
have some other things on your mind
and heart beside physical pain. l

almost seemed to be a bequest from
dear Aunt Mary.
l was also sure that dear Mrs. Sell

Aunt Mary's life had been singularly
an uneVentful one, and like the hap

life good.
