years afterward be began to lose the

was recommended.
A few days later Mr.. Peter Pinck-
ney. the patients father called on Pro
fessor Gaugler of the Institute For
Original Research and said:
Professor. | wish to state case to
you. My son having been trepanned and
the surgeon having removed small
lump on the brain. the patient on re-
covery has changed toward young
lady to whom he was betrothed. On
going into the hospital he bid her good
by with every evidence of affection.
When she called to see him after the
operation be treated her no more affec-
tionately than any other girl. Do you
think this change was brought about
by the operation"
81 certainly do. Our experiments in
this institution on monkeys have told
us that the phrenology practiced some
years ago had u grain of truth in it.
There are tiny Jumps IN the brain
which are the seat of animal faculties.
We are not permitted to practice vivi-
section on human beings, but have
been able to destroy in monkeys pre-
disposition to certain peculiarities by
removing corresponding Jumps in the
brain. can cite case where two
monkeys had a great affection for each

with the other. repelling her whenever
she approached him. do not doubt
that the lump In your sons brain
which stood for his love for this par
ticular young lady was taken out when
he was trepanned"

matter" pursued the father. I'VE

young lady is lovely girl, and she is
heartbroken over her lovers change
Does science admit of any restoration

my own. however. that might. II put In

that would be practically the same as
before"
81 would like to hear it,
The brain is responsive to impress

II believe so. Nevertheless there is
one thing that may stand in the way

of her may interfere with new pas

with her. and she would have a great
advantage"
Doctor. you speak words OF wisdom
shall tell my son that the operation
has not been satisfactory and must be
repeated. Then the lump of memory
for his betrothed may be cut out"
Some time after this consultation
Professor Gaugler was called TO the re
ception room OF the institute to receive
lady who had called upon him.
What can | do for you. madam
he asked.
Nothing. You've done 1t already
I've come to thank you"
For what?'
DO you remember a gentleman
calling upon you to ask how the love
of his son for his tiancee could be re-
stored?''
Il think ] remember such a case"
THE gist of your recommendation
was that the bump of memory for bis
betrothed should be taken out so that
she might have a chance as new
girl"
Il remember that"
We'll. your advice was acted upon
and worked to charm
"Ah. | see. You were all made very
happy, SUPPOSE"
Yes. but that's not the especial
matter have to thank you for"
