One summer it wna proposed to take a number of poor families from the city IN THE TOUSLE HEADED FAMILY. slums of the outside world and give them some happy months in the country. All the beautiful Island of Green-eye- s la like the country, although Its eople Inive also every advantage enjoyed by city folk In oilier places. Tommy and Alice Ureeneyes were fine young people, sixteen and seventeen years old. ami they entered Into the plan with enthusiasm.

Maybe 1 can teach them to be kind and merelfnl. But when the batches of poor families arrived both Tommy and Alice found .they h.ol work (o do different from wliui they had expected. One f.iiniJy of ten i got off the steamer lirat. They had the queerest i hil-.lre- lialr and faces, this family! Their faces were covered with molasses colored dabs and streaks snd tiny yelow spot a that looked as If they had been spattered there from tbe yolk of nn egg. There was a set of Irlidets in thia family of ten young ones, and the spots and dabs on the fuces of these triplets were all exactly alike, aa If they had been printed there one after another from the aiime photograph negative. Strange to say, too, these ten children's hair was all tousled and matted In masses tyi their heads looked like bunches of mattress stuffing. Alice could not keep her face straight when she found the hair of the triplets matted Hiid tangled all exactly alike, too, to tlie last hair. What niiaforluiic could have overtaken this unfortunate family of ten? Allre mid Tommy found ouf when they siimiiiuncil all the visiting children to luncheon. Every one of these ten riwhed into the pretty dining room and took their places at the table looking and molasses stuck upon their faces Just where the molasses colored dabs were; the yolk of the nice poached egg wenf upon the identical yellow spots around their china This family and their ancestors before them had been eating without washing themselves or brushing their hair for so many generations that the egg and molasses hod struck In on their faces In spots that had become heredltaiy, and their hair had been left lo grow like mattress stuffing so long Hint now the babies of this family were horn with hair like mattress stuffing. Next came the Big Mouths off the bout. They were a family ef eight grandmother, father, mother, four children and the cat. They had the most awful looking mouths, this family! The mouths were slitled sideways almost from ear to ear and were fixed in a perpetual grin, like the funny face of the man in the muon. What could have produced suth frightful silts In the faces of any family? Alice and Tommy found this out, too. when the Ilia Muutlix came to dinner. The Big Months ate with their knives, even to the baby.

The Harx mountains are the blrth-pluof all manner of old time legends of dwarfs snd witches snd elves, and many of the groups depicted some well known fairy tale or a familiar story, like that of the Pled Piper of Hamelin.
