ON A-DYIN Thou fluttering mite of gauzy green, That by untoward flame to-night Art rudely summoned from a scene That for some days hath shed delight On thy small senses-what has been Thy'profit from this sunny world, Ere into darkness and oblivion hurled? The Vigilant By W. F ? -was a moonlight night and the roadway shone white and clear between the straggling fences. A num ber of men, a dozen, per haps, were coming up the hill from the village In the valley with its twinkling lights. They were plod ding along in a little group and busily talking as they advanced. Presently they paused at a gateway and crowded a little closer. Thc house within ibo yard was old and weather beaton. It was a story and a half building. There was a porch along the front with two windows beneath it, ono for each side of the door. Through the window at the left shone a faint and flickering light. Thc group of nen at the gate lingered Irresolutely for a few moments, talking in cager whispers. Then a tall young man with a smooth and kindly face broke from the party and led thc way up the graveled walk to the front door. "When he reached thc'little porch he paused and held up his limul. Then lie went to the window through which the faint light flickered and went In. That Abner Moxham was a hard man nobody in Winterfield doubted. Ile was unsociable. He was close in his dealings; he lived quito alone in the ? old cottage on tho south hill. Ho was tall and lean and yellow, and his sixty years had touched his hair with white, and filled hislcancheeks with wrinkle?. He cared nothing for rho matters that Interested Hie .villager?. Ile took no interest in politics nor in public im provements, and very little iii religion. Occasionally he would stray into Hie white churrh whoso steeple was thc .st in tho village, and sit quite by himself through, the service. Then he would hurry away wlthc.it a word to his fellow worshiper;-:. The young pas tor had called on him once, but it was ; not believed that he had repeated the visit. In fact, ho never stated clearly what occurred while he was there. It was said that Abner was the possessor of a small library of books that were calculated to destroy all faith in ortho dox views, and that he pored over them a great deal of his time. Where the old man's income came from no vil lager knew. That it was limited every body felt sure. His way of living was so simple, isis clothes were thread bare, and the purchases ho made in tho i village were not of a.character io sug gest thc possession of even a moderate i income. Ho carno and went and both ered no man, yet was a thorn in tho flesh of tho gossipy hamlet. And then his standing as an object of neighborly interest was suddenly and greatly increased by tho rumor that ho < had brought a boy home to live with him. Abner had a habit of disappear ing for a week or more at a time. He might have been supposed to bo in his cottage during those absences : if lt hadn't boen for the fact that he was seen to take tho train. But where ho went Winterfield didn't know. y 1 ?T was reported once ny "Ezra Kim ball, whose business took him to tho great cfty every month, that he ran i across Abner there one morning, but that the old man didn't look at him and hurried along. ? "And what's queerer," said Ezra, "is < that he was talking to two swells at a carriage door as I came up, and the lady gave him her hand and the man : took off his hat to him. Then they drove away." But Winterfield pooh-poohed this pic ture and as-ured Ezra that he must be ; dreaming. I When the boy arrived it was early evening and ho was so muffled up thal I his face could not bo seen. Ile was a little fellow of perhaps eight, and Ab- I nor had hurried him away before the : curious stationmaster could get a good look at him. It was a full milo from tho station to tho old cottage on thc hill, and in tho dusk of thc evening Jim Perkins had mot tho tall old man trudging up the hill with the lad on his : back. When Winterfield heard of this addi tion to tho Moxham household it frowned ominously and shook its sa gacious head. It was no place for a boy. It couldn't be a home for any body. Tho boy was to b . pitied. In fact, tho village must koop a sharp lookout for his welfare. It was a day or two later that tho child and old Abner appeared at thc postoffico, and the postmistress got a good look at the little fellow. She stared at him out of her little window. "That' a delicate appcarin' eli ?ld you have there,' 'she said. "Yes," Abner replied, as ho reached for his letters. If it hadn't been for his mail the old man's visits to the village would havo been greatly decreased in number. He received more letters than any man in Winterfield, a fact that thoroughly convinced tho villagers that he must bc engaged in some ne farious pursuit where letter writing was a part of tho swindle. The little postmistress yielded up thc letters reluctantly. "Needs a lot o' good care," she said with her beady black ryes on tho boy. "Yes," Abner agreed, as he turned away. "Most unwholesome child I ever saw," the little postmistress explained to Mrs. Baxter, the wife of the village banker. "He looks scared and abused, ; and I'm just sure that old miser's home's no place for him." "Somebody ought to look after the poor little vagabond," said tho banker's wife. "What have we got humane so cieties for?" The boy was rarely seen in tho vil lage. He was delicate in appearance and seemed timid. Ile kept close to : the old man and resisted all attempts to draw him away. "He's thoroughly cowed," said thc lit tle postmistress to the young minister < as she held that worthy with her glit tering eye. "Looks to me like a child ? that's been half starved and 'neaten and had all the spirit taken out of it. Some body with authority ought to investi gate-and right away, too, or it may bo too late." < Thc young minister flushed a little and seemed about to speak. Then he abruptly checked the impulso and picked up his letters. "I think," said tile little postmistress, "that ?t's your duly to interfere, Mr. Browning." Tho young minister sm!1ed. "It isn't always easy to see one's duty clearly, Mis. Twit tors." he said, i "And while you ure wailing for clear-11 C INSECT. A few short flights on shimmering wings, A few warm ecstasies in air.

Who nsketh more To carry to the all-forgetting shore? -John Hall Ingham, in Lippincott'a. er vision the worst may happen," said the little postmistress. The minister's face grew grove. "I hope not," ho said, and turned .'.way. The little postmistress gave a sniff as lie passed through the door, a Utile sniff that was expressive of profound contempt for the dilatory ways of mas culine humanity. Then came a time when the boy was not seen for several weeks and public anxiety grew Intense. Nor did the old man appear. Lie was there In the ancient cottage. The milkman and the baker and tho grocer saw him on their rounds. But they saw nothing of the boy. "How is the little fellow?" the grocer volunteered to ask one day. "He's all right," the old man gruffly replied. "I haven't seen him out," the grocer persisted. "No," said thc old man, and closed Hie door behind him. At the expiration of (bree weeks Selectman Brlscom sought out the young minister. 'Tarson," he said, "I'm hero at the request of several of out most reputa ble citizens. They think something should he done about Old Mun Moxham and thatboy." "What do you propose?" inquired the young man. "We thought maybe you could sug frost something." The young minister was silent for a moment. "We must bc careful," he said. "Of course." "We have no proof that anything ls wrong." "It looks mighty queer." The young minister hesitated. "Out where I spent a year or two after I left college," he said, "they would have made this the subject for a vigilance committee's attentions. When a social duty of Ibis sort was under consideration a rope was usually at hand where it could bc found when wanted." "Of course," said Hie selectman hasti ly, "we don't intend to go that far." The 3'oung man smiled. "But the vigilance committee idea suits you?" "The idea of a committee to visit tho old man suits mo." "Good," said the young man. "There can be no harm In that." "And you'll join us?" "Yes." "To-morrow night?" "Yes." "We'll meet at the church at S o'clock." "Very well." The selectman paused. '"And will you lead us:" "If you "desire it," said the young minister. And ?.p.-if?iapponed that the first vlgl [ajmir^comniitree that Winterfield had tiver known plodded determinedly, al though nt a leisurely pace, tip the long hill in the bright moonlight, and finally entered the old man's yard and halted liefore the ai ont cottage. And It was I he tall youi. nlnister who advanced ind peered ! ugh the lighted win low. There was a f pause. Then the tall mg minister turned lo the others. "Come," he sa : a whisper. He rapped lightly on the door. Walt ing but a moment ho opened it and passed in, with thc others following him. The door opened immediately into thc big living room of the cottage, a com fortable, apartment with a great fire place Arith a log burning on the huge andirons, a log that sent out the flicker ing light that had illuminated the win dow. The old man was there, seated in a low chair by the fireplace. He looked np as tile committee entered, but showed no surprise. He only nodded and then held up his hand with a slight warning gesture. Tlie boy was in a cushioned chair by thc old man's side. His head with its long light hair was pillowed against the old man's shoulder. He sat at such au angle that the committee could seo the little white face, and the long white hands, and tho closed eyes. The boy was asleep. But even as they stared at this pic ture thc child stirred uneasily. "Daddy," he cried, "daddy!" It was a cry of terror. "Yes, yes, dear boy, I am herc," said (he old man gently as he patted the white cheek. The big eyes opened wider and rested on the old man's face. The pale lips parted in a sigh. "I had n bad dream, daddy," he mur mured. "l'es, dear boy. But it was only a dream." "I dreamed they were beating me again, daddy." "They will never beat you again, dear boy." Tho child was silent for a moment. Then he sighed again. This time it was a sigh of contentment. "Daddy," he softly said, "it's like heaven to be sick.dsu't it?" The old man stroked the white hands tenderly. "There's a little pain again in my shoulder, daddy," said the boy. "If you'll rub it just a little lt will go away and then I can sleep." The old man reached across and gently stroked the ailing arm and the tired eyelids slowly closed. Presently thc stroking ceased and thc old man looked up. The committee .vere grouped about thc door, each niau with bis hat in his hand and they were ill very still. "The child has been ill," said the old man softly. "He has had a fever, the result of his malarial surroundings and of ill treatment. But he is much bet ter, and will, please God, live to bc a drong and healthy child. I have nursed him through this illness, because I felt competent to do it-I nm a graduate of a medical school-and because in his timid and nervous condition the sight of a strange .face would have greatly retarded his recovery." He paused and gently shifted thc child's head Into a more comfortable position, and then one of the little hands crept into Hie brown and rugged one and stayed lhere, He looked up again, but before he could speak the tall young pastor bad stepped forward. "Mr. Moxham,'' he said, in his deep, [ow tones, "these gentlemen arc a self appointed committee who have called upon you in a neighborly way with tho desire of proffering such aid as you may require. They have been worried and even alarmed by your non-appear ance lu the village and are here be cause they felt it was high time that they asserted their humanity. Wc are not a demonstrative people In Winter? field. Wc act slowly, but when we do act we are thoroughly In earnest And I speak for each member of this com mittee, sir, and for all the village, too, when I say that if there is aught we can do to help you In any way you can command us to the utmost limit of our resources." He paused and thc old man slowly nodded. "I thank you, Mr. Drowning," ho said, "and I thank you all. gentlemen. But at present there Is nothing I need. Should any occasion arise, I will be glad to call upon you." And his head dropped again over the child. There Avas a momeut's pause. "Good night, slr," said the tall young minister. There was a little murmur of good nights behind him. "Good night and my thanks," said the old man. And the Winterfield vigilance com mittee passed out. It was the young pastor who broke the silence as they strode down thc hill. "We have misjudged this old man," he said. "I believe I am free to say so. It was a dreadful domestic calam ity that brought bini to this state. It humbled his pride, iT crushed his am bition. Ile crept away hero to hide h's wounded soul. And yet ho has not entirely forgotten his fellow orea tures. A great institution for the care of child waifs nourishes In the city through his liberality. And I hold In my hands a goodly sum for tho benefit of our village poor, a thank offering for the recovery of his daughter's child. Yes, that is her child. And jndor Prov idence I fervently hope to see it thc means of dra .'ing him hack among his fellow men." Ho paused and half turned. "Oh, my Urethren," he said, "never lot charity lose Its place in your hearts." They trudged on in silence until the parsonage was reached. They paused at the gate. "Gentlemen," said the selectman, ns he glanced around. "I move that tli? Winterfield vigilance committee do now adjourn sine die." Then each man went his way.-Clove laud Plain-Dealer. TEA-ROOT CARVINCS. ??OTV thc Fantastic Wooden Objects From tho Far Fast Aro Mario. The fantastic wooden objects which come from the Far East and are known as tea-root carvings have long been thc basis of a prosperous industry in the populous city of Foo-Chow. Strictly speaking, tho name is a misnomer. Some of the carvings aro made from old tea roots and tea trunks, but thc vast majority, nine-tenths at least, nro made from Ibo roots and trunks of hard wood trees. The carvings are almost invariably made in two parts, a pedestal and one or more human figures fitted to the lat ter by pegs and li?les. The former is made from a root and the latter from a trunk. The roots arc sol?ete.! wiMj con siderable care. They must bo compar atively free from dry rot. decay and worm holes, and must possess a rude symmetry. They arc cleaned, scrubbed and scraped and sawed to about the de sired size. Then the artist willi chisel, gouge, knife and pincers removes root Jots and roots until the figure is com pleted. The simplest design Is a three-leggcc pedestal, of which tho base is a rougt cylinder of wens and knobs. Any uum ber of logs may bo used. A curiom specimen seen hy tho writer in thc Grand Hotel. Yokohama, has fifty logs while the body has been so treated as to suggest a horny centipede. A sec ond typo of pedestal is thc mushroom. A third type is an animal form, such as thc buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant 01 tl tagon. A collector in this city has one which Is a clover suggestion of a hippopota mus yawning. It is about eighteen inches long, six inclus thick and twelve high. Tho figures arc conventional an tiques, beggars and savages. At times the face is a portrait, real or conven tional, cf a famous personage. Carv ings of lids sort aro rare. Nearly always the chisel is guided by humor or entire. If it lie a saint wiio is depicted. Hie look of piety or suffering is replaced by a leer or drunken grimace. If it bo a warrior, every limb and muscio is molded so as lo suggest decrepitude or a desire tc run away.
