Cut on His Nose.

Paul varserau Is u barber employed
ON the North Side. Theresa Barsa'Oux.
a comcly young woman, has long been
the idol of the tonsorial Paul. But
while rcciprocat'ng the affections OF the
Young barber. she was fully aware that
few thousand dollars which she pos.
scssed In her own right in measure
placed her above a barber beau. While
her feelings were thus nicely balanced,
tn re appeared upon the scene n young
man bearing tho prosaic cocnomcn of
William Brown. lie was n travelling

more than n match for the timid all.
vances of Paul Varzerau. and he bid
fair to win the maiden and her wealth.
Paul saw this with many forebodings.
One OF Browns attractions was q re-
markably handsome nose, which was
his most noticeable feature. Without II
he would have been nobody. IL was OF
the Grecian style. white rs a pillar OF
marble, and as smooth. Young women
have been known TO lose their hearts Ia
a pair Of eyes, TO handsome head oi
hair, and. in instances OF intellectual
and specialized young females. TO a
forehead. But Theresa fell In love with
nosc-the nose Of william Brown. She
coniided this fact TO Paul Naverau,
and with words every one Of which

rasp the beari Of his customers. cxpa'i.
ated upon the wonderful influence
which this nose exercised over her.
When Paul left that evening he had
made iicndish resolve.
Two DAYS later Paul Varzerau stood
behind chair in the barber-shop where
he had learned William Brown was in
the habi, OF getting shaved. II was on
the afternoon Of the third day that the
Inflated William Brown entered the
shop and seated himself in Paul Var
zerau's chair. There was his nose
cold. white. symmetrical and smooth.
"Aha! A few short seconds and shall
be avenged" thought Paul. and hc
ground his teeth rs he stroppcd the m.
zor. The keen blade cut hair in
twain.
"Bc careful and don't get any lathe:

"Scacrc, The puppy! how proud he
il Of his nose. But | must be calm aud
control myself" thought Paul. lie
mixed his lather and spread II over the
face Of his customer, who hal closed
his eyes. and seemed to be indulging In
the luxury of dozc. He shaved one
side Of William Browns face and dullcd
the razor. Paul stroppcd the razor
back to an edge. He then elevated the
chin of the unfortunate man and laid
bare his throat. The eyes did moi
open. Paul held the razor aloft Sec
ond. Then with skillful swonp II 10
