Doctor Martin was too surprised tt

lied that he was In the power of two
desperate men. Quickly they blind
folded him.
1t seemed an interminable walk, as
they led him about to confuse him, but
at last he could feel that they had
taken him into a house and along
passageways, which they were making
unnecessarily long in order to de-
stroy all recollection that they could.
Finally he knew that he was in a
room in which others we're present.
moment later he felt them remove
the bandage from his eyes, and. blink
ing at the light, he could see hard
faced fellow, pale and weak, on a
blood-stained couch. Over him bent
a masked man and another man stood
near by endeayoring by improvised
bandages to stop the flow of blood.
What can you do for this fellow"
asked the masked man.
Doctor Martin, seeing nothing else
to do, for he was more than outnum-
bered now, bent down and examined
him.
AS he rose, he said, "He will be
dead from loss of blood by morning,
no matter if he is properly bandaged."
rs there nothing that can save
him." whispered the Clutching Hand
hoarsely.
Blood TRANSMISSION might save him."
replied the doctor. "But so much blood
would be needed that whoever gives
it would be liable to die himself"
Clutching Hand stood silent a mo-
ment, thinking, as he gazed at the
man who had been one of his chief
reliance. Then, with a menacing ges-
ture, he spoke in low, bitter tone:

blood"

ready to go he muttered, Keep the
doctor here. Don't let him stir from

1t was just before early daybreak,
when the Clutching Hand and his con-
federate reached the Dodge house in
the city and came up to the back door,
over the fences. AS they stood there
the Clutching Hand produced a mas
ter key and started to open the door.
But before he did so he took out his
watch.

Rusty, now recovered, was barking

man.
The other did so, and Rusty snarled

did not stop to knock, but began to

hear family sounds of excitement and
cries Of Police! Police!"
The door yielded and we rushed

we went until we came to another
door.

wide, fine stream of spray. Before he

Outside, the other crook was wait

glance up and down the deserted

This time there was no faithful

intruder, after a glance at Elaine, still
sleeping, went quickly to the door,
dragged the insensible dog out of the

closed the door.
Evidently the fumes had not

thrush of fresh air revived her, for
she walked and quickly reached for
the gun. In an instant the other crook
had leaped at her. Holding his hand
over her mouth to prevent her scream

When the pSychOpatnlc laboratory
was established almost a year ago
there was a great deal of enthusiasm
regarding it. We were going to dis
cover, by scientific methods, how
many delinquents and how many
criminals were criminals because
they were mentally defective and
therefore not entirely responsible for
the crimes they had committed. And
then, Of course, we would be better
able to deal with them.
That was our idea of it, but it
hasn't worked out that way. So far
the establishment of that department
has resulted merely in a new pile of
statistics so dear to the heart Of the
public speaker, but absolutely worth
less while they remain merely sta
tistics.
We haven't made the slightest eff
fort to care for the mental detectives.
We have taken boys of IS and 20,
branded them as only or 10 or II
mentally and then turned them adrift
or, if their crime was such that we
did not dare turn them adrift, we
have punished them for the thing we
have said they were not entirely re-
spOnsible for.
The department has dealt almost
entirely with the effect and very lit
tie with the cause. It has declared
that these mentally detectives are in
a majority of cases incapable of re-
formation.
In a report of DR.. VIM. ]. Hickson,
director of the laboratory, he tells
adult probation officers that they
should have a psychopathic report on
all offenders and viii then be in a
position to know whether the case is
one where reformation is out Of the
question.
Somehow there is something
brutal in that even if we do not dis
pute the scientific mind. It is brutal

ace to society. It is equivalent to,
saying: This boy shall go on the,
human junk pile; you can do MOTH

where he is wanted. Let him 60"
Personally, as a layman, l dispute,
that finding. Except in the case Of
an imbecile refuse to believe that
any boy, however retarded his mental
development, is hopeless. Personally.
l believe that half of the boys and
half Of the girls placed in this cate
CORY by the psychOpathic laboratory
could be helped and developed by a
proper environment and proper,
nOurishment and teaching.
On the question of environment
there is a difference of opinion be-
tween DR.. Hickson and myself. He.
declares that environment has little,
to do with low mentality, candidly ig-
nOring the fact that hunger, starYa-.
ton of the brain and senses, lack Of
shelter and exposure to ViciOusness-.
have anything to do with the matter.
In answer to that claim of mine he
once told me that if you put these
people into the Potter Palmer man,

But just by way of mental calls,
themes, what would the Potter
Palmer crowd do to their mansion if
they had been raised as has been the

behind them generations Of plenty, OF

justify its existence it must do mora
than merely classify as borderlands;
