Those Extra Years.

cialist with the feelings OF a

moment staring at the street, dazed
by the light and that interesting
buoyancy in her breast. where for so
long had been leaden heaviness. Then
without any clear idea OF the direc-
ton she should take she started to
walk toward tho nearest @crner.
A cab had taken her there. but she
had not requested that 1t wait. know.
ing that she could call another. But
after DR.. Levinson had got through
with her she decitied to walk. Well
women always walked. She was a
we'll woman.
Such was the great specialists pro-
nouncement, but she had come to the
citv prepared TO hear something else.
Old DR.. Jenkins at home. whom she
had relied upon for many years. had
warned her OF the worst. Now. she
knew that old DR.. Jenkins had been
mistak ken. Those symptoms. that
queer click in her heart. meant no
sudden cessation Of life. In time they
might prove fatal. but Or. Levinson
had assured her that with proper
care she would live 10 years at least.
Ten years instead Of 10 days! Ten
wonderful years. Ten years that she
could be sure Of. lived without that
awful uncertainty OF instant oblivion
spelling every momenti She would
make the most OF 10 years. she would
be happy In them and useful. and
she would have some Of those things
she had always wanted to have and
had lately felt there was no use in
her buying. Now her money was
more than sufficient for 10 years. In
fact, she could scarcely use half Of
1t in that time.
Turning the corner she came to a
hat shop blooming with spring mill
linery. There was one hat which
charmed her instantly--a woodsv

ers apd thin green leaves. Why
should've che wear such a hat now
instead Of the black ones which had
seemed to express her own impending
fate? That fate was removed. She
had 10 years before her.
She went IN and bought the hat
and put it on and took the black hat
away In a bag.

much repose. A we'll woman needed
a little more work, a little more bus

next to her would be fine for child

things that would make delightful lit

Suddenly Caroline dropped parcels
ON the davenport and went TO the
telephone. She called number and
