% lightly that IL never disturbed him.
A thousand miles . minute. figss-
ed and looked nervously at the clock.
Time said the barber, with his silent,
deliberate hand, els for slaves" lie
went over that mans face Is though he
was shaving the Queen Of Englsnd.
Bristle by bristle he moved the stuLpie-
field If that mans illimitable cheek. Ii
was twenty-five minutes after i've and
the shaver was just making his lr,t swath
on the mans chiu.
l said in tones suffused with waiting
anguish:
"When does that train 60 north on the
K. C Il G. b."
The barber nursed his way around
pimple on the mans chin NJ carefully ss
though it was the end of the jug
vein sticking out, and stepped back to
admire his work. Presently he looked
up ut the clock and then he locked at me
aud then he said:
(Which train9"
l told him ION the K. c., st. j. s. c. b.;
passenger; going north"
He turned the mans fsce over to the
other side, washed off the lather with
sponge, laid on some more, washed it of,
dried the mans face, washed it, lathered
it, stropped the raz,r little, male an
offer ut the mans cheek, drew back,
looked at the razor, glanced at the clock,
put down the razor and took chew Of
picked up the razor, laid one
hand on The mans lead and was on the
point of beginning, when lie poised the
razor in the air, nodded to some one
across the street, looked ut me AMI
said:
"One that goes to the B!uffs2"
l said, mo, the Hopkins branch"
The barber began shaving the man.
Then he stopped, looked at the clock,
turned his head and looked out Of the
window, then he glanced at me in fixed
aud said:
II don't know"
He resumed his study Of that mans
face and went over it like I'm anatomist.
He shaved it in three different direc-
tions. He went back at it three times
after he was through and shaved some
neglected spots. He laved and stroked
aud dried and perfumed and powdered
that mans face until the clock said it
was thirty nine minutes after tive, and l
felt the premonitory symptoms Of convul.
sions and nervous insanity creeping over
my quivering limbs.
Too late staid--oh monstrous crime,
cursed the barber'B whistles.
How noiseless falls the foot Of time
That only treads OH bristles.
He passed over the mans hair until l
felt that time had given place to eternity.
He rubbed it and busted it; he parted it
four times before he got 1t to suit him.
He combed it and brushed it down 90
sleek that an early Hy, trying to climb
to the crown Of the mans head, slid
of and broke his neck. At four min
utes Of train time the man, who was
now wide awake, make an effort to rise
and get out Of the chair, and my heart
swelled with hope. The barber pushed
him back.
Shadow Of eternity, he began to wax
the pstieuts m0ustsche.
II lacked two and one-haif minutes Of
train time When the chair MAS empty.
At the psticnt barber in profsne
accents and tsld him I had to be y, the
depot .s that tine.
