I rjp^~"TjarT was :i moonlight night unci l!5l HHl the roadway shone white I and clear between the straggling fences. A nttmIMl IHl ^,er ?* nien, a dozen, porhaps, were coming up the hill from the village in the valley wit.li its twinkling lights. They were plodding along in a little group and lutsiiy talking as they advanced. Frosently they paused at a gateway and crowded a little closer. The house within the yard was old and weather beaten. It was a story and a half building. There was a porch along the front with two windows beneath it. one for each side of the door. Through the window at the left shone a faint and flickering light. The group of men at the gate lingered Irvoc/U 111r>lv* fov f??w nunHpnls t.'ilkinrr i in eager whispers. Then a tall young man with a smooth and kindly face broke from the party and led the way up the graveled walk to the front door. "When he reached the little porch lie paused and hold up his hand. Then he went to the window through which the faint light flickered and went in. That Aimer Moxham was a hard man nobody in Winterticld doubted. lie was unsociable. lie was close in Ids dealings; he lived quite alone in the < old cottage on the south hill. lie was tall and lean and yellow, and his sixty years had touched his hair with white, and filled his lean cheeks with wrinkles. He cared nothing for the matters that interested the villagers. He took no interest in politics nor in public improvements, and very little in religion. Occasionally he would stray into the. white church whose'steeple was the tallest in the village, and sit quite by himself through the service. Then he would hurry away withe ut a word to his fellow worshipers. The young pastor had called on him cr.ce, but it was not believed that he had repeated the visit. In fact, he never stated clearly , what occurred while he was there. It was said that Aimer was the possessor of a small library of books that were calculated to destroy'all faith in orthodox views, and that he pored over them a great deal of liis time. Where the old man's income came from no rll-lager knew. That it was limited everybody felt sure. His way of living was so simple, his clothes were threadbare, and the purchases he made in the < village were not of a character to suggest the nnsspsslon of even a moderate i income. He came and went and bothered no man, yet was a thorn in the flesh of the gossipy hamlet. And then his standing as an object of neighborly interest was suddenly and greatly increased by the rumor that he < had brought a boy home to live with him. Abner had a habit of disappearing for a week or more at a time. He might have been supposed to be in his cottage during these absences ] if it hadn't been for the fact that he was seen to take the train. Cut where ] he went Winterfield didu't know. < It was reported once by Ezra Kim- 1 ball, whose business took him to the i great city every month, that he ran < across Abner there one morning, buT 1 that the old man didn't look at him 1 and hurried along. : "And what's queerer,'* said Ezra, "is [< that ho was talking to two swells at a carriage door as I came up, and the lady gave him her hand and the man 1 took off his hat to him. Then they drove away." But Winterfield pooh-poohed this picture and assured Ezra that he must be dreaming. When the boy arrived it was early evening and he was so muffled up that his face could not be seen. He was a little fellow of perhaps eight, and Al>ner had hurried him away before the curious stationmaster could get a good look at him. It was a full mile from the station to the old cottage on the hill, and in the dusk of the evening Jim Perkins had met the tall old man trudging up the hill with the lad on his back. When Winterfield heard of this addition to the Moxham household it frowned ominously and shook its. sagacious head. It was no place for a boy. It couldn't be a home for anybody. The boy was to b 1 pitied. In fact, the village must keep a sharp lookout for his welfare. It was a day or two later that the child and old Abner appeared at the postofiiee, and the postmistress got a good look at the little fellow. She stared at him out of her little window. "That' a delicate appearin' child you 1 have there,' 'she said. "Yes," Abner replied, as he readied ' for bis letters. If it hadn't been for his mail the old man's visits to the village would have been neatly decreased in i number. He received more letters than any man in Winterfield, a fact < that thoroughly convinced the villagers that he must be engaged in some ne- '< farious pursuit where letter writing was a part of the swindle. 1 The little postmistress yielded up the letters reluctantly. "Needs a lot o' good care," she said ' with her beady black eyes on the boy. "Yes," Abner agreed, as he turned J away. "Most unwholesome child'I ever 1 saw," the little postmistress explained to Mrs. Baxter, the wife of the village i banker. "He looks scared and abused, : and I'm just sure that old miser's J home's no place for him." "Somfebody ought to look after the i poor little vagabond," said the banker's 1 wife. "What have we got humane societies for?" < The boy was rarely seen in the vil- 1 lage. He was delicate in appearance and seemed timid. He kept close to t the old man and resisted all attempts to draw him away. ' "He's thoroughly cowed," said the lit- i tie postmistress to the young minister < as she held that worthy with her glit- ' tering eye. "Looks to me like a child s that's been half starved and beaten and 1 had all the spirit taken out of it. Some- * body with authority ought to investi- t gate?and right away, too, or it may i t>e too late." < The young minister flushed a little i and seemed about to speak. Then he : abruptly checked the impulse and i picked up his letters. "I think," said the little postmistress, ' "that it's your duty to interfere, Mr. 1 Browning." I The young minister smiled. 1 "It isn't always easy to see one's duty clearly, Mrs. Twitters," he said. 1 "And while you are waiting for clear- i JC INSECT.

The minister's face grew grave. "I hope not," he said, and turned away. The little postmistress gave a sniff as he passed through the door, a little sniff that was expressive of profound contempt for the dilatory ways of masculine humanity. Then tame a time when the hoy was not seen for several weeks and public anxiety grew intense. Xor did the old man appear. lie was there In the ancient cottage. The milkman and the baker and the grocer saw him 011 their rounds. But they saw nothing of the boy. "IIow Is the little follow?" 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 the old man, and closed the door behind him. At the expiration of three weeks Selectman Briseom sought out tlicyoung minister. "Parson." he said, "I'm here at the request of several of our most reputable citizens. They think something should be done about Old Man M ox ham and thatboy." "What do you propose?" inquired the young man. "We thought maybe you could suggest something." The young minister was silent for a moment. "We must he careful," he said. "Of course." "We have no proof that anything is wrong." "It looks mighty queer." The young minister hesitated. "Out where I spent a year or two after I left college," lie said, "they would have made this the subject_for a vigilance committee's attentions. When a social duty of this sort was under consideration a rope was usually at hand where it could be found when wanted." "Of course," said the selectman hastily. "we don't intend to go that far." - The young man smiled. "But the vigilance committee idea suits you?" "The idea of a committee to visit the old man suits me." "Good," said the young man. "There en 11 be no harm in that." "And you'll join us?" "Yes." "To-morrow night?" "Yes." "We'll meet at the chur-h at S o'clock." "Very well." The selectman paused. "And will you lead us?" "If you desire it," said the young minister. And so it happened that the first vigilance committee that Winterfield had over known plodded determinedly, although at a leisurely pace, up the long liill in the bright moonlight, and finally ontered the old man's yard and halted liefore the ancient cottage. And it was I he tall young minister who advanced md peered through the lighted win low. There was a brief pause. Then the tall young minister turned to the others. "Come," he said in a whisper. lie rapped lightly on the door. Waiting but a moment he opened it and passed in, with the others following iiim. The door opened Immediately Into the big living room of the cottage, a comfortable apartment with a great fireplace with a log burning on the huge mdirons, a log that sent out the flickering light that had illuminated the window. The old man was there, seated In a low"chair by the fireplace. He looked up as the committee entered, but showed no surprise. He odI.v nodded and then held up his band with a slight warning gesture. The boy was in a cushioned chair by the old man's side. His head with its long light hair was pillowed against Hie old man's shoulder. He sat at such an angle that the committee could see the little white face, and the long white hands, and the closed eyes. The boy was asleep. But even as they stared at this picture the child stirred uneasily. "Daddy," he cried, "daddy!" It was a cry of terror. "Yes, yes, dear boy, I am here," said [he old man gently as he patted the white cheek. The big eye? opened wider and rested on the old man's face, flic pale lips parted in a sigh. "I had a bad dream, daddy," he murmured. "Yes, dear boy. But it was only a ireaiu." "I dreamed they were beating me igain, daddy." i.mu til A t.. JLiiuy win never ueui yuu u&ujli, uuu boy." The child was silent for a moment. Then lie sighed again. This time it was a sigh of contentment. "Daddy," he softly said, "it's like beaveu to be sick, Isn'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 it 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 the stroking ceased and ike Did man looked up. The committee were grouped about the door, each man Willi ills mil 111 ms nanu auu mu} Hfiu 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 if ill treatment. But he is much better, and will, please God, live to be a strong and healthy child. I have nursed liim through this illness, because I felt competent to do it?I am a graduate of i medical school?and because in his timid and nervous condition the sight af a strange face would have greatly retarded his recovery." He paused tud gently shifted the child's head into a more comfortable position, and then one of the little hands crept into the brown and rugged one and stayed there. lie looked up again, but before tic could speak the tall young pastor liad stepped forward. "Mr. Moxham," he said, in his deep, [ow tones, "these gentlemen are a selfipnoiuted committee who have called upon you in a neighborly way with the desire of proffering such aid as you may require. They have been worried and even alarm--d bj' your non-appearance in the vil? :ge and are here because they felt it was high time that they asserted their humanity. We are not a demonstrative people in Winterfield. We act slowly, but when we do act we are thoroughly in earnest. And I speak for each member of this committee, 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." lie paused and the old man slowly nodded. "I thank you, Mr. Browning," he 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 bis head dropped again over the child. There was a moment's pause. "Good night, sir," 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 Wintcrfield vigilance committee passed out. It was the young pastor who broke the silence as they strode down the hill. "We have misjudged this old man." he said. "I believe I am free to say so. if. was a ureamui domestic calamity that brought him to this state. It humbled his pride, it crushed his ambition. lie crept away hero to hide h's wounded soul. And yet he has not entirely for/rotten his fellow creatures.

And under Tr v? idcnce I fervently hope to see it the means of dra .'ing him hack among his fellow men." lie paused and half turned. ''Oh, my brethren," he said, "never let 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, as he glanced around, "I move that the Winterficld vigilance committee do now adjourn sine die," Then each man went his way.?Clove, land Plain-Dealer. TEA-SOOT CARVINCS. How tlie Fantastic Wooden Objects From the Far Fast A re Made. The fantastic wooden objects which come from the Far East and are known as tea-root carvings have long been ine basis of a prosperous industry in the populous city of Foo-Chow. Strictly speaking, the name is a misnomer. ftnmn nf tlio pnrvinat! nvrv mflfln frntri old tea roots and tea trunks, but the vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are made from the 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 latter by pegs and holes. The former Is made from a root and the latter from a trunk. The roots are selected with considerable care. They must be comparatively free from dry rot, decay and worm holes, and must possess a rude symmetry. They are cleaned, scrubbed and scraped and sawed to about the desired size. Then the artist with chisel, gouge, knife and pincers removes rootlets and roots until the figure is completed. The simplest design Is a tliree-Ieggec pedestal, of which the base is a rougt cylinder of wens and knobs. Any uuiiv ber of logs may be used. A curiouf specimen seen by the writer in tb< Grand, Hotel, Yokohama, lias fifty legs. I' ~ lvr.,1 tf hrte liQAn orv rnntAfl fIS '.v line iiiir uuuj into iiv^u to suggest a horny centipede. A second type of pedestal is. the mushroom. A third type is an animal form, such as the buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or dragon. A collector in this city has one which is a clever suggestion of a hippopotamus yawning. It is about eighteen inches long, six inches thick and twelve high. The figures are conventional antiques, beggars and savages. At times the face is a portrait, real or conventional, of a famous personage. Carvings of this sort are rare. Nearly always the' chisel is guided by humor or satire. If it he a saint who is depicted, t he look of piety or suffering is replaced by * a leer or drunken grimace. If it he a warrior, every limb and muscle is molded so as to suggest decrepitude or a desire tc run away. Quang-ti,the invincible soldier prince, Is frequently portrayed standing on one leg with the other extended like a professional rope balancer.?New York 1 Post. i Zcstful Frankness. Unexpected frankness, now and ther gives a special zest to the humor of c ' situation in Congress. When "uauc Bouek was the representative from the Oshkosh district of Wisconsin, a pension bill came before the House, to his great vexation of spirit; for, while his personal convicitions were directly opposed to it, his political interests were strong enough to whip him into line. On the day the bill came up for final disposal a fellow-member met Boucli in the space behind the last row of seats, walking back and forth and gesticulating excitedly, bringing ills clenched right fist down into the hollow of his left hand, to the accompaniment of expletives which would hardly look*well in print. j "What's the trouble, Gabe?" inquired his friend. "Why all this excitement?" "Trouble?" snorted the irate lawmaker. "Trouble enough! That pension bill is up, and all the cowardly nincompoops in the House are going to vote for it. Its sure to pass?sure to pass." "But why don't you get the floor anc speak against it?try to stop it?" sug gested the other. "Try to stop it?" echoed Bouek. "Try to stop it?
