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

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.

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?

Then each man went his way.-Clove

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.

Zestful Frankness.
Unexpected frankness now and thor
gives a special zest to the humor of a
situation in Congross. When "Gabe'
Bouck was the representative from tlie
Oshkosh district of Wisconsin, a pen
sion bill came before tho House, to his
great vexation of spirit; for, while his
personal convictions were directly op
posed to it, his political interests were
strong enough to whip him into lino.
On tho day thc bill came up for final
disposal a fcliow-morabor met Bouck
in thc space behind tho last row of
scats, walking back and forth and ges
ticulating excitedly, bringing bis
clenched right fist down into the hol
low of his left hand, to the accompani
ment of expletives which would hardly
look well in print.
"What's tho trouble, Gabe?" Inquired
his friend. "Why all this excitement?''
"Trouble?" snorted the irate lawmak
er. "Trouble enough! That pension
hill is up, and all the cowardly nincom
poops lu the House are going to vott
for it. Its sure to pass-sure to pass."
"But why don't you get the floor one"
speak against it-try to stop it?" sug
gestcd the other.
"Try to stop it?" echoed Bouck. "Trj

Fad for Linen Waists.
A good story, says Dry Goods Econ
omist, -was told during Hie week by a
prominent buyer who also runs rt work
room in connection with a waist de
partment. There had been a lot of
handsome linen sheets and embroi
dered shams lying about the store for
untold years. These were French im
portation, and the first had been mark
ed at $65 the set, then to $G0, and so
down the scale until iuey reached
$35, yet still they were not disposed of.
With the fad for linen waists in such
full sway, these linen sheets wore
brought out, and with the help of a
clever designer, four handsomely em
broidered waists were made out of
each set. The waists so manufactured
were marked at $35 each, and are sell
ing well. They arc really beautiful ex
amples of the newest styles in shirt
waists.
