A Toilet Luxury
In every respect, Aycr's Iluir Vigor
never fails to restore the youthful' fresh
noun and color to failed and fray lmir.
It also prevents tho hair from fulling,
eradicates dandruff, and stimulates
weak hair to a vigorous growth.
Five years ago, my hair, which was
quite gray, eoiiiiiieiiiod falling, and, in
iite of cutting, and various prepara
tions faithfully applied. licrnine thinner
fcvery day. I was finally persuaded to
try Aycr's Hair Vigor. Two bottles of
this remedy not only stopped the hair
from falling, hut also restored its orig
inal color, and stimulated a new growth. -

Mr. Thomas Mathers was only a lcdjjCT
clerk ia tho banking clerk of Hodgson,
Dunford e Parr, St. Swithin'ti lane, Lom
bard street. It was neither a very re
spomiblo nor n very lucrative position,
and Tommy (as nil lib friendo called him)
longed, air ix.rhaps fifty thourand j-omi;
men in n similar situation in London are
longing at this moment, for a chance of
turning his brains to ljeticr account than
mlding up columns of figures and copying
entries from one big book into another.
Tho chancy did not come, bat Tommy did
not despair; and thero was thb dificronco
between him and tho treat majority of

there was no disagreement between him

that Darling had bad a hint from his

that it behooved him to lw looking out for

likely; and young Slathers determined to
C"t at once. . He slipped into the bank
parlor that afternoon, hoping to iind tho
junior partner. Mr. Pail' a pood natural

Hodgson, a sour tempered old man, who
was Btrogijlmg into his overcoat, lvpara
iory to leaving (booliico for t!io day. .
'We'.l,'' growled the banker, what

Tommy was on the point 'of saying that

-Well, what of that? what's that to

Delighted iit.bemg bit to reprcw.it t!iQ

so formal a 'matter, Mathews waa pacing
one day down thd" pri:ici;)al stivet of tho
city with a look of coniidorallo import

tho old banker, when Tommy proudly
informed him that bo bad returned to

"All. indeed! .Well, there'o a littlo

'Well, suppose you diuo v.'ith us to

bo ought to chow a little attention to tho
lonely I2u;;l;:.!inian.
Of cour.ie tho invitation vnw accepted,
