1122*  A  divisible  obligation  must  be  performed  between  the
creditor  and  the  debtor,  as  if  it  were  indivisible.  The  divisibility
takes  effect  only  with  their  heirs  or  legal  representatives,  who,  on  the
one  hand,  cannot  enforce  the  obligation,  and,  on  the  other,  are  not  held
for  the  performance  of  it,  beyond  their  respective  shares  as  represent-
ing the  creditor  or  the  debtor. — Cod.,  L.  2,  De  Jwereditariis  action,
