Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient.

Psychiatrists have long recognized
the tendency among mental deficients
towards criminality. 1t appears that
this tendency is now being discovered
and exploited by the criminal classes
themselves. At a recent meeting Of
the Societe Clinique de Medicine Men
tale, reports the London Lancet, Drs.
Marcel BRAND and Borel presented a
boy, aged fourteen, who had on two
occasions been used as a tool of a
professional thief. 1t is clear that if
this practice is at all widespread
many mentally deficient children with
out criminal tendencies in the first
place may very soon acquire them.
These children, incapable of moral
judgment, as they often are, should be
specially protected by society, which
in defending them will at the same
time be protecting its own interests.

WhISPERFooT.

Synopsis. by his physi-
clan that he has not more than six
months to live, Dan Failing sits
despondently on park bench, Won
dering where he should spend those
six months. Memories of his grand
father and a deep love for all
things of the wild help him in
reaching a decision. In large
southern Oregon city he meets
people who had known and loved
his grandfather, famous from
tiersman. Re makes his home with
Silas Lennox, typical westerner.
The only other members of the
household are Lennox's son, BILL,
and daughter, 'Snowbird." Their
abode is in the UmpQua divide, and
there Failing plans to live out the
short span of life which he has
been told is his. From the first
Failing's health shows marked
improvement, and in the compan-
ionship of Lennox and his son and
daughter he fits into the woods life
as if he had been born to it. By
quick thinking and a remarkable
display OF ''nerve" he saves Len
nox's life and his own when they
are attacked by mad coyote.
Lennox declares he is a reincarna-
ton of his grandfather, Dan Fail
ing I, whose fame as a woodsman
is household word. Dan learns
that an organized band of outlaws,
of which Bert Cranston is the
leader, is setting forest fires Lam
