the average plan. But let the CEN
trail soul suddenly become domi-
nant, and he may, in the twinkling
of an eye, turn upon the partner
of his joys with furious execration;
he may change his politics while
you could snap your fingers; he may
deal out deadly insult to his dear

give his funds to the search for

revolt of the Ego against order;
and its effect is to shake up the
atoms only that they may settle
where they belong.
GeddIe's revulsion had been a mild

object as a drifting bottle. And
now he was himself again. Upon
