was informed by an eminent brain specialist, who
examined him, that he was mentally sound, but that owing to a severe
fracture of the skull received some time previously his brain had become
divided into two distinct parts, causing two personalities to exist and
enabling him to recollect events only as they were separately recorded
on either side of the brain. By this explanation I readily understood

in Central Park for the last time. It was my habit to meet him in an
out-of-the-way corner of the park, because I did not want my parents or
