The author of this story. DR.. William L.
Howard, makes II a vehicle for conveying
certain theories regarding mental and
moral deformities and some of his pro-
fessional experiences bearing on the sub
ject. The keynote Of his theory is that
human being is just as liable TO have the
growth in the cell making UP certain dis
tinct eenters in the brain disturbed and
distorted as the growth in the cells making
up any other centers physiological and
psychical, from which IL follows that il is
unreasonable to send man TO prison be-
cause he ia deformed in certain peychical
centers. The characters in the story both
men and women. are nearly all perverts
of some kind, victims of heredity or moral
obliquty, and while they are not alto

interesting studies. The author has sue

molding scientific studies and original
theories into strong and interesting
