is one of family Of four living at that
place, each of whom has curious
birthmark. The family consists OF
three sisters and a oaby two years old.
Each has black hair, with a large lock
of pure white hair beginning over the
forehead and running backward. The
flesh under this hair also is white, and
the white mark runs down upon the
