JILTED LOVER GOT REVENGE

A young Swiss couple at Davos were to have been married shortly, but the girl jilted her lover because he had shaved off his beard. Though he pleaded for several weeks she refused to see him or reply to his letters. Then during the night he pasted all the love letters he had received from his fiancee on the walls of her residence. In the morning a crowd collected before the house and was busily engaged In reading the letters when the flaucee discovered the affair. While a gendarme kept back the crowd, the seriaflts, armed with brushes, soap and water, scrubbed off the love letters from the walls, “eartless girl, I return you your letters,” was written in large letters above the correspondence.
