"Ohl And have the same power?"
You? Certainly not. You are only

fine you by negatives. You cannot argue

an animal, from assistance. You behave

"OhW He was angry. He did not
know what to reply. He was Inundated.
Don't fall into rage. Go away and
amuse yourself. You can do anything
you please. Come back, however, in
time for hall.
The Animal Part obeyed. He went
out, leaving the other part over his
books. He spent the morning with other
men rs industriously disposed as him
self. He found a strange lightness of
spirits. There was no demonstrating
voice within him reproaching him for
his laziness, urging him to get up and
go to work. Not at all That voice was
silent. He was left quite undisturbed.
He talked with these men over tobacco.
He played billiards with them. He lay
in chair and looked at novel. He had
luncheon and beer and more tobacco.
He went down the river in the college
boat. He had an hour or two Of whist
before hall Then he returned to his
room.
His other half looked up, surprised.
Already? The day has flown"

know, and I'm one of the-the lighter
ornaments Of the college, and sit

breaking off all at once. Beside" -
II understand. Continue to sit with
them for awhile and talk as much idiot

will find that change Of companions
and Of conversation has become neces-
sary."
Nobody noticed any change. The two
in one sat at table and ate like one.
They talked like one They talked friv.
olously, telling stories like one After
hall they went back to their chambers.
You can leave me, )" said the stu

then shall go on again. "
This very remarkable arrangement
went on undisturbed for some time. NJ

to leave himself at work 1t became nat
ural to go to hall at Z with minglet
recollection of work and amusements
The approaching voice was silent, tn
; Animal Part was left at peace, and tn
Intellectual Part went on reading a
peace.
