Bridegroom elects Shave Came Near
Causing Tragedy-Fiancee Relents

Chester, Pa, March 1S.-Stephen
Melikizey and Mary Luskovisky, a
young couple, are sweethearts and
their wedding day was fixed. Stephen
wore a mustache of which Mary was
proud. Tuesday Stephen had the hirsute
adornment shaved off.
When Mary discovered this she de-
clared that she would not wed Stephen
until the mustache was regrown.
Yesterday morning Stephen, distract
ed, declared that life had no bright
ness for him without Mary, and he
made a dash for nearby terrified
quarry hole. Mary followed, attended
by great crowd. At the edge of the
quarry hole Mary caught her fiance by
the coat tails. Stephen slipped out oil
the coat. Mary again seized him and
two men assisted her. Then she prom
ised she would become his bride, mus,
tache or no mustache. The dive into
the watery depths was postponed in
definitely.
