 My hairy" he said. when the sub ,ect was broached to him. How did hear about that?"
 He did not seem to think that what there was of 1t showing under the back of hls hat could attract attention. When he had left home he had undoubtedly said 'Is my hat on straight? just like any woman with chignon tbat was a source of carking care. Then he thought 1t was all right, but e reporters eye spied him out, and he straightway be- came a freak with an Item under his hat and his peace of mind falling below par. The way he found out the pecu- liarity of his hair in bleeding" was this: Several years ago he had his hair cut for convenience and to keep people from looking at him as if he were a museum freak. No sooner was the hair off than he took to his bed, almost com pletely shattered In health. and was compelled to stay there until he had gained enough strength to take care of himself. After that he left his hair alone for while. Seven months ago he was seized with desire to cut 1t off again, and as the result he was in bed, prostrated and unable to care for himself.
 But have found out how to man. age 1t now" said the long-haired man. There Is time of the moon when the hair can be cut without harm The reason suffer so have just found out; it.is because the hair 'bleeds'"
 What Is the meaning of that?"
 By bleeding I mean that the sap runs out at the ends of the hair, just as 1t does in young trees. That sap considering that my hair grows so fast and long and Is so altogether unusual, takes my strength out with 1t. It re- minds you of the Biblical story, doesn't It? We'll, its true, and much on the same lnes." .,- he. The professors" physique, said he, was still weak from the effects of the last cutting. His hands shook from nervousness, although he was sitting in his chair quite composed. The "pro- lessor" appears to be in fix. He can not have his hair cut, because 1t weak ems him, and he cannot let 1t grow, be- | cause 1t takes all his strength to sup port 1t.
 Amery was born in Maine some forty years ago. He had a sister with the | same physical trait, and two half-broth- CTS. When he was three years old he was taken from his home by his parents and carried out west, where he lost track of his mother entirely He does not even know her name His father married again and the family moved from place to place as the notion took them. Finally they came to San Fran l cisco and Amery married. Four chil- dren were the result of the union, and as the father never knew his own name, was consequently called by the ini- tials "A. R." The four children were called "E. C., " T. C..""O. C.,""U. O. pronounced Fey, Icy, Ocy, Ucy.
 The effect of a family muster is lu- dicrous. The rittrs vowels, as their names are called, come flocking around the visitor with wondering faces They are strange people, the fathers affec- tion having a tendency to keep the family retired. They are very fond of each other and happy by themselves. The oldest-a girl, 'Ecy-has head of hair almost as wppderful as her fa- ther's.,, It is of pale yellow and reach es to her shoe tops, although she is a tall girl of nearly eight. The hair is not only long but it is fine and thick, and covers her completely. When 1t is done up for the day it Is massed on top of her little head in the most amazing roll, a great crown of braids that looks too heavy for such snall maiden.
