The Vigilance
ByW. R.
T was a moonlight eight and
the roadway shone white
and clear between the
straggling fences. A num.
ber of men, a dozen, per
harts, were coming up the
bill from the village In the valley with
Its twinkling lights. They were plod
Ifllng elong In a little group and busily
talking as they advanced. Presently
Jthey paused at a gateway and crowded
i. little closer. The house within the
tyard was old and weather beaten. It
(was a story and a half building. There
Was a porch along the front with two
Vlnrtows beneath It, one for each side
bf the door. Through the window at
Ithe left shone a faint and flickering
light.
1 The (Troup of men at toe gate lingered
Irresolutely for a few moments, talking
in eager whispers. Then a tall young
tnan 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 he
paused and hold up his hand. Then be
(went to the window through which the
faint light flickered and went In.
That Abncr Moxhnm Was a bard man
nobody In Wlntcrfleld doubted. He
Was unsociable. He was close In his
Healings; be lived quite alone In the
bid cottage on the south hill. He was
tall and lean and yellow, and his sixty
years had touched his hair with white,
hnd filled hlslean cheeks with wrinkles.
Be cared nothing for the matters that
interested the villagers. He took no
Interest In politics nor In public Im
provements, and very little In religion.
Occasionally be would stray Into the
White church whose steeple was the
tallest In the village, and sit quite by
tlrosclf through the service. Then be
would hurry away without a word to
bis fellow worshipers. The young pas
tor had called on him once, but It was
not believed that be had repeated the
Visit. In fact, he never stated clearly
What occurred while he was there. It
Was said that Abner was the possessor
f a small library of books that were
Calculated to destroy all faith In ortho
dox views, and that be pored over them
K great deal of bis time. Where the
told man's Income came from no vil
lager knew. That it was limited every
body felt sure. His way of living-was
o simple, bis clothes were thread
bare, and the purchases he made In the
Pillage were not of a character to tug
test the possession of even a moderate
Income. He came and went and both
ered 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
bad brought a boy home to live with
blm. Abner bad a habit of disappear
ing for a week or more at a time.
He might have been supposed to bo
in his cottage during these absences
if It hadn't been for the fact that he
Was seen to take the train. But where
be went Wlnterfleld didn't know.
It was reported once by Ezra Kim
ball, whose business took blm to the
great city every month, that be ran
across Abner there one morning, but
that the old man didn't look at blm
and hurried along.
"And what'a queerer," said Ezra, "Is
that be was talking to two awella at a
Carriage door as I came up, and the
lady gave Hm her hand and the man
took off bis hat to him. Then they
trove away."
But Wlnterfleld pooh-poohed this pic
ture and assured Ezra that be must be
streaming?
; When the boy arrived It was early
evening and 'he was so muffled up that
bis face could not be seen. He was a
little fellow of perhaps clgl. and Ab
per bad hurried him away lief ore the
Curious statlonmastcr could get a good
look at him. It was a full mile from
the station to the old cottage on the
bill, and In the dusk of the evening
71m FeTklns had met the tall old man
trudging up the bill with the lad on bis
back'.
When Wlnterfleld heard of this addi
tion to the Moxhnm household It
frowned ominously and shook Its sa-
gacious ueaa. it was no place for a
qy. It couldn't be a borne for any
body. The boy was to be pitied. In
tact, tho village must keep a sharp
lookout for bla welfare.
It was a day or two later that the
fchJld and old .Abner appeared at the
ftostofflce, and the postmistress got a
srood look at the little fellow.
She stared at blm out of ber little
Window.
"That' a delicate appearln' child you
- pave tnere,' 'sue said.
"Yes," Abner replied, as he reached
(or bis letters. If it hadn't been for his
nail the old man's visits to the village
Would have been greatly decreased In
number. He received more letters
than any man In Wlnterfleld, 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.
The little postmistress yielded np the
letters reluctantly.
"Needs a lot 0' good core," she said
With ber beady black eyes on the boy,
"Yes," Abner agreed, as be turned
way.
"Most unwholesome child I ever
r," the little postmistress explained
to Mrs. Baxter, the wife of the village
tanker. "Ha 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 the banker's
wife, "What have we got humane so
cieties fort
The boy was rarely seen In the vil
lage. He was delicate In appearance
and seemed timid. He kept close to
the old man and resisted 'all attempts
to draw him away.
."He's thoroughly cowed," said the lit-
4 b puaiiuiHirpss o uie young miniBter
as she held that worthy.wlth her glit
tering eye. "Looks to me like a child
that's been half starved and beaten and
had all the spirit taken out of It.' Borne.
body with authority ought to Investi
gate and right away, too, or It may
be too late."
The young minister flushed a little
and seemed about to Speak. Then he
abruptly checked the Impulse and
picked up his letters.
"I think." said the little postmistress.
"that it's your duty to Interfere, Mr.
Browning."
The young minister smiled.
"It Isn't always easy to see one's
duty clearly, Mrs. Twitters," he said.
"And whllo you are waiting for clear
er vision the worst may happen," said
the little postmistress.
The minister's faco grew grave.
"I hope not," he said, and turned
away.
The little postmistress gave a sniff
as he passed through the loor, a little
sniff that was expressive of profound
contempt for the dilatory ways of mas
cullne humanity.
Then came n time when the boy was
not seen for several weeks and public
anxiety grew Intense. Nor did the old
man appear. He was there In the
ancient cottage. The milkman and the
baker and the grocer saw him on their
rounds. But they saw nothing of the
boy.
"How Is the little follow?" the grocer
volunteered to ask one day.
"He's all right." the old man gruffly
replied.
I haven't seen blm out," the grocer
persisted.
"No," said the old man, and closed
the door behind blm.
At the expiration of three weeks
Selectman Brlscom sought out the
young minister.
"Parson," he said, "I'm here at the
request of several of our most reputa
ble citizens. They think something
should be done about Old Man Moxham
and thatboy."
"What do you propose?" Inquired the
young man.
We thought maybe you could sug
gest something."
The young minister was silent for a
moment.
"We must be careful," he said.
"Of course."
"We have no proof that anything Is
wrong."
"It looks mighty queer."
Tho young minister hesitated.
"Out where I spent a year or two
after I left college," he aald. "they
would have made this tho subject for
vigilance committee's attentions.
When a social duty of this sort was
under consideration a rope was usually
at band where it could be found when
wanted."
"Of course," said the selectman hasti
ly, "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
can be so harm In that.'
"And you'll join us?"
"Yes."
"To-morrow night?"
"Yes."
"We'll meet at the church at 8
oclock."
"Very well."
The selectman paused. -
"And will you lead us?"
"li you desire it," said the young
minister.
And so It happened that the first vlsl
lance committee that Wlnterfleld bad
ever known plodded determinedly al
though at a leisurely pace, up the long
bill in the bright moonlight, and finally
entered the old man's yard and baited
before the ancient cottage. And it was
the tall young minister who advanced
and peered through the lighted win
dow.
There was a brief pause.
Then the tall young minister turned
to the others.
"Come," be said in a whisper.
lie rapped lightly on the door. Walt
ing Dut a moment be opened It and
passed in, with the others following
aim.
The door opened Immediately Into the
Dig living room of the cottage, a com
tort able apartment with a great fire
place with a log burning on the huge
andirons, a log that sent out the flicker
ing light that bad illuminated the win
dow.
The old man was there, seated In
low chair by the fireplace. He looked
up as the commlttoe entered, but
showed no surprise.
He only nodded and then held up his
nana witn a slight warning gesture.
The boy was in a cushioned chair by
the old man's side. His head with Its
long light bfelr waa pillowed against
tat old mao'i abouldar. Ha eat at
such an angle that the committee could
see the little white face, and the long
white bands, and the closed eyes. The
boy was asleep.
But even as they stared at this pic
ture the child stirred uneasily.
"Daddy," he cried, "daddy!"
It wap a cry of terror.
"Yes, yes, dear boy, I am here," tald
the old man gently as be patted tbe
white check. The big eyes opened
wider and rested on the old man's face.
The pale Hps parted In a sigh.
"I had a bad dream, daddy," be mur
mured.
"Yes, dear boy. But It was only a
dream."
I dreamed they were beating me
again, daddy."
"They will never beat you again, dear
boy."
The child was silent for a moment.
Then be sighed again. This time It
was a sigh of contentment
Daddy," be softly said, "It's like
heaven to be sick, Isn't It?"
The old man stroked the white bands
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 tbe stroking ceased and tbe
old man looked up. The committee
were grouped about the door, each man
with his lint lu his hand and they were
all very still.
"The child has been 111," said the old
man softly. "He has bad a fever, tbe
result of his malarial surrorndlngs and
of 111 treatment. But he is much bet
ter, and will, please Cod, live to bo a
strong and healthy child. I have nursed
him through this Illness, because I felt
competent to do It I am a graduate of
a. medical school and because in his
timid and nervous condition the sight
of a strange foce would have greatly
retarded his recovery." He paused
and gently shifted tho child's head
Into a more comfortable position, and
then one of tho little hands crept Into
tho brown and rugged one and stayed
there. He looked up again, but beforo
ho could speak the tall young pastor
had stepped forward.
"Mr, Moxhnm," ho said, In bis deep,
low tones, "these gentlemen are 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-appearance
in the village and are here be
cause they felt It was high time that
they asserted their humanity. We are
not a demonstrative people in Winter

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 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 bead
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
nignts behind blm.
"Good night and my thanks." said
the old man.
And the Wlnterfleld vigilance com

be said. "I believe I am free to say
so. It was a dreadful domestic calam

WOMEN THE BRAVER
Before the Dentist Men Howl;
Hot So Their Sisters. .'.
fK no one way does woman show
I to a greater degree ber superior
I physical endurance of pain over
man than In the dentist's chair.
Where Is the man, however physically
brave lu other particulars, who will not
pause and hestltate before visiting tbe
dentist's with an aching tooth? He
will postpone the visit and compromise
with an offending tootb, meanwhile
making a general nuisance of hlpiself
with bis moanlngs and lugubrious
bowlings, slashed with profanity, be
fore bis final and compulsory appear
a nee In the dentist's chair.
The fragile and delicate mite of a
lister, or the aged and feeble mother
will, without fuss or hesitation, dellu
erately put on ber street wraps, and
calmly remarking, "I will be back pres.
sntly," proceed to ber favorite dentist
and have the tooth extracted.
Another difference between the sexes
obscrvnblo In this matter of teeth ex
traction and toothaches Is tbe penchant
of the male to inform friends and ac
quaintances of bis own sex of the va
riations of his ailment, all of whom
courageously advise I1I111 to "have tbe
thing pulled out," and not one of whom
but would licsltato and compromise
with an aching tooth himself. The
lady, as a rule, conceals from ber
friends and from her sex tho fact of
her affliction, and neither moan or
complaint Is uttered In their presence,
however much pain she endures.
It Is more than probable that woman
ly superiority of courage In the tooth
ache end extracting lino would nave
been overlooked as a matter of record
by the writer but that the contrast was
forced upon bis observant faculties
by the visitation of a toothache so
active and energetic that nil other sub
Jccts and studios were abandoned dur
ing the Intermittent periods of tho vlsl
tntlon.
There has been no form of agony
ever Invented that could competo In
hldcousness with a toothache that un
dcrstmuls its business and throws nil
Its energies Into the work before It,
There Is only one form of pain that
equals tho tootbncho In Intensity, and
that Is the old stylo of ynnklug tho
molars out, and even that was torn
porary in duration, whllo the ache It
self represented an Infinity of eulTcr-
Ing. for each moment of tbo Jumping,
bounding pain Is equal to a month of
ordinary time.
In the old days, when tooth pulling
was a good deal like murder In the
first degree, and when the tools used
in the homicide were about as big and
awkward as a blacksmith's tongs, It
is no wonder the peoplo bore the evils
they already had rather than fly to
those they knew not of, but which they
had a faint idea consisted of a broken
Jaw and a mouthful of blood and
splintered enamel; but In these days of
anaesthetics and "painless" dentistry
It seems strange that a person will en.
dure the tortures of tho damned for
weeks when relief can be secured so
speedily.
It Is a fact, however, that tooth pull
Ing Is not much more popular or fash
lonablo now thnn It was when the
Kings of England, who wero tho first
dentists, by tho way, used to yank
out tho teeth of tho Jews who would
not come down with tho cash so sorely
needed in the royal exchequer. The
loss of an aching tooth nt tho hands
of a smiling dentist Is an awful ordeal,
largely because tbe lmlganltlon of the
sufferer has made It so. He suffers
tbe operation many times In antlclpn
tlon before tbe forceps grapple with
the offending molar.
Newspaper men, bowever humllint
Ing the confession, are not any freer
from this superstition than common
mortals, as It is proven by an expert
ence during the past week. Tho re
porter bad a tooth that bad been with
him so long n time that a sort of
friendly Intimacy had sprung up be
tween the two. The tootb, however,
bad recently got tired of Its Job, and
kicked so vigorously to get out Into
tho wide world and seek its fortune
that he finally concluded to let It go,
before he came to this conclusion, be
tcmporarlzed with It 'for some time
In the hope that It would change Its
mind and conclude to remain, but to
no purpose.
Its demands for release becamo so
Importunate that Its objection to re
malnlng sent thrills of pain clear
through the reportorlal anatomy which
ended In his surrender. He became a
close student of tbe dentists' cards lu
tbe newspapers in bis endeavor to find
one who could perform the operation
"without paln,"and finally made a se
lection of a dentist on tbe avenue. The
selection was made on Monday. He
met the dentist on the street and dis
cussed the weather and other topics
of Interest with blm, and finally In
quired If he would be in bis office next
day, and was told that he would
Tuesday ho passed the stairway lead
ing to tbe office, but didn't think the
dentist was in. He didn't know Just
what led blm to think this, but he was
Inspired with tbe thought somehow and
passed on.
On Wednesday morning the tooth
raised a big rumpus at the long delay
and so be made a bee line for the doc
tor's office. At the foot of tbe stairs
the tooth seemed sorry for the Impa
tience tt bad exhibited, and taking the
tooth's behavior au a sign that It was
not so anxloua for tbe separation as
It pretended, concluded be would give
It one more chance to be friends, aud
so went on up the street about his busi
ness. '
U tbe tooth bad any regrets about
tho coming separation, however, tbey
were of short duration, for on the fol
lowing night It held a "wake" over tha
dead friendship that had existed Be
tween the two, and sent the reporter
to the dentist's office the next morning
before breakfast with the determina
tion that no more compromises would
be submitted to on bis part. The dent.
1st was In, and In a splendid humor.
It was early yet, and the writer con-
eluded that he would wait until some
other patient came In, "Just to see
how it was done." "Misery loves com
pany," It Is said, and be thought that
If be could see a Jaw or two broken
(for some one else) before his turn
came, be could stand the ordeal bet
ter. He bad not long to wait. A man
came In with bis Jaw bound up In a
cotton handkerchief. His left cheek
looked ns If be had undertaken to swal
low a baseball, and that It bad lodged
In tbe side of bis mouth. As well as
he could, considering the Impediments
to speech, be said he had the Jumping
toothache, snd wanted the nerve killed.
The dentist looked at the tooth and
Informed blm the nerve was already
dead, and that the original trouble. Ir
ritation of the living membrane of the
pulp walls, bad resulted In Inflamma
tion, suppuration and a collection of
pus, etc.
The next victim was nn unshaven
man who, with a steady nerve, took his
position In tho chair, but Jumped two
feet bl(!h a moment later end roared
like n Comanche Indian when the doc
tor "lifted" a large molar with roots
an Inch long from his Jaw.
He gave place to n man from the
country, accompanied by his wife.
"She's got a bad tooth; the nerve Is
all bare, and It's ulcerated and gives
her a slftht of neuralgia." he said. The
dentist smiled at tho impossible com
binations and said, "Take a seat,
please." "Ills woman" proceeded to
unwind two bed quilts from around
her head and neck, which act exposed
a face that looked as tnougu it nan
been Interviewed by a swarm of hor
nets. "Her man" wanted ber to take
something "lnlllng gas or slob" hut
she said "No;" she had tho heart dis
ease. She thought she could stand It
If it didn't break her Jaw.
The next was n man who had been
drlnklug to ease the pain of an aching
tooth, and wanted It out (hie) quick.
He took gns, and had It out In n Jiffy.
While under the liifluenco of the gas
he said he dreamed that bo wos going
around and round on n roller coaster.
Presently, while near the last grand
descent, bo looked up, and n large
grappling hook suspended from a tree,
dropped Into bis mouth, lifted blm bod
ily from his seat and left blm dangling
In midair.
Tho dentist evidently expected the
reporter to take the chair and looked
Inquiringly. He looked confused, how
ever, when asked for an unbiased opin
ion on the Venezuelan affair for publi
cation. Apologizing for the mlstuken
expectation that his professional ser
vices wero sought by the reporter, the
doctor entered Into an exhaustive state,
ment of tbe allies' side of tbe case,
at the conclusion of which the reporter
withdrew with profuse thanks, border
ing on affectation, for the lucid Infor
mation on this burning public question.
The aching molar had become so
thoroughly scared by the few object
lesgons recited that It becamo recon
ciled to remain and continue its dally
grind of soft edibles. The "Inter
view" on Venezuela effected a tem
porary If not permanent settlement
