SAW ONLY SIGNS OF BADNESS
Misunderstanding Professor Oiscov.
cred the Criminal Type but Over
looked the White Flower

The professor who reads character
from physiognomy pointed to the boy
opposite He belonged to the criminal
type, said the professor Look at his
eyes, his ears, his cheek bones, his
mOuth-criminal every one of them
The boy sat very still All about
him were other boys swinging pail
bats, and cutting each others ears, but
that, the professor said, was only the
natural overflow of animal spirits; the
quiet boy was too thoroughly stepped
in criminality to have any animal
spirits Just as the professors COM
paniOn was beginning to wonder If it
was safe to ride in the same car with
the youthful degenerate the boy
reached down into his pocket and
brought forth a white flower 1t was
common field flower, a cluster Of
tiny white blossoms topping a slender
stalk. The boy seemed very fond of
it. He tWirled the stalk, he stroked
the leaves and petals, and every touch
was soft and tender But the pro-
fessor had no eyes for those gentle fin
gers, he was intent on the unmistak-
able signs of inherited depravity
"A bad one. he is, all right" said
the professor with a solemn shake of
the head
But the other person looked at the
flower again A bad one, was he?
Maybe but the other person had
doubts
