At all grocery stores two sizes of Ivory soap are sold; one that costs
five cents a cake, and a larger size. The larger cake is the more con
venient and economical for laundry and general household use. If your
Grocer is out of it, insist on his getting it for you.

Rrand.-n t'l-nid, author, sat on the
edge of his UkI and g;::el in lisai:.l
dispair at the upturned sole of hislmot.
On the table lay an almost complet-
ed novel, whose progress had r cciv-d j
a dual check. Firstly, the supply of
pap.-r had lieeoine exhaustel, v. l.ie'i,
secondly, allowed the author tiiise to
thii.k of the w-m:;n he loved : and this
alwavs made him so
that he could not bring his thoughts to
bear upon anything but the apparent
hopelessness of the state of i:an.
"Well, Rrandon, my boy," he mus
ed bitterly, "you've r.'iehed the end
at last. As-k-ts, 1) c;:its; liuVihiic,

He had thought of suicide ln-.orv, j
but he w as y;ung an.l clung to lite, j
bad as it was, living more hi hope than
substance.
The only alternative was starvation, I
and this he c.m-i bred w orse still. 1 le
could not have laUired in viually if he

Thus r..n his r-.-lh'etions, when the
landlady brought hinialettr, written t
on jK-rfumed yellow pap-r. H? r.c
ogi.i.cd the handwriting at ciiiv, It
was from Minnie, and e.inlirnied his
newspaper item. She ntaim-d his ring

I Net he! Why !iould h-? Must his
lady's bo.ly. Hhe was in no hurry,
however. There was a visitor upstairs
wailing for him. '
"A man grisped Rrandon, with a
sinking heart, as his mind ll.-w to in
terviewers. Rut it was a lady, as he j
quickly di-snvered, and that lady,
Minnie. His heart beat rapidly, his
breath came quickly, his eyes gleamed
brightly, and ho was ab-iut to catch
her in his arms when hi? rem -iiiV-re.l
that she belonged to another, an 1 the
liieui'ry crusfied him.
Heal tempted to spesk, but a sudden
attack of asphyixin stiiled his tongue,
and he sauk into a chair and covered
his face with his hands, w hile the
luiop that ha 1 risen in his thr.iat al
m .-t choked him.
"Aren't you well, Rrandon?" Min
nie inquired, alarmed at his apear
ance. Hie p'aced her small hand lov
ingly upon his burning fin-head, but
newmet i at tne loucu a.s iuiugu it
was sinetiiing that hurt him. "Are
you ill, dear?" aud she sank on her
knees and strove to pull his hands
fr.un his face.
"It whs only a joke, darling, mdy'a
joke," she cried piteou-Iy, her eyes wet
wiih tears. "I am not going to marry
Olcott."
Rrand in s.it upright suddenly, his
f:uv very white.
"Y.ui are not?" as he caught her
w lists in a frantic yrasp.
"No, no! Forgive me, dearest. I
th i'.iglit if I t-i'.'l you that, you would
fancy I was happy, and s-i be able to
work. Yeu said so."
Rrandon sighed deeply, ln-nt forward
a.id kissed her.
"I might have killed myself," he r-.-lii-tiketl
pre-s 'itly.
"You hi t too much piidc." Sin
was smiling now-.
"Rut why have you come here
again ?"
"You never wrote to me, Rrandon,
and I thought I"
"You feared I should do what you
knew I w ould not. That's like a wo

it's all over now, Minnie. I have com

of ji r.r engagement kicked iny pride
so hard that I had to do something

Minnie was a splendid actress.
"What?" craning forward with one
band on her lover's shoulder : "sd.'J-M !
Yoti darling," and she kissed him ea-
"Yes, and there's more to follow.
They are certain it w ill l-e a success,
and they claim the refusal of all my

He threw the gold and notes upon
the table, but the girl shrank back.

The Dethroned Bahy.
During the first two years of our pil
grimage through life our troubles are
altogether of a physical nature. A
helpless baby in the hands of an ig
norant mother or nurse is often the
most to be pit icd of all dumb animals,
but its trials an- those of the flesh. It
is only after it has been, as it were,
pu-hed out of place by an interloper (
in short, when there is a newer baby, !
that is begins to know what it is to
have a troubled spirit. When it is no
linger "Ruby," but Harry or Jane or
perhaps even "that child," then la-giti-neth
its first lesson in the mutations of
earthly things. Talk of dethroned
mouarehs and passe la-auties, of jxiets
whose popularity lets waned and of
painters whose pictures no longer sell!
Th-se have, like Tony Wclh r's "wtrry
old" turkey, the consolation of being
tough.
It is dilll-rcnt with the little creature
who, only a few short months ago,
ruled the roost in the nursery and now
must make way for what? A little
bald, red, toothless object, who, w hell
seen at the U-st tl-vs nothing but double
its mot tied li-ts and smile idiotically.
Rut, little ami insignificant as it may
1-iok, its coming has made the world a
very di tiV-reiit place for the old baby,
who now no longer keeps its earriasn-,
but in its excursions abroad must

ducks. Rchiiid them, at a lower level.
Hew another bird, whicii suddenly rose
into the air nUive the ducks, ami then
shot down upon them like an arrow.
One of the ducks Hew sideways toward
the Thiergartcn; the other, close ly ptir-sue-d
by its enemy, Hew slanting into
the canal, and, reaching the water ex
actly behind the bridge, dived, while
the hawk, in bis blind haste, struck

great wings, dead on the pavement of
the bridge. The bird was a splendid
specimen, the w ings having an expan
sion of more than three feet.

finally captured by means of a heavy
