II FLY,
An insect That Makes Game of Eve
One 1t Meets.

An insect That Makes Game OF Every
One 1t Meets.
Not once, but a half-dozen times has
this comical-looking fly made game of
me in my walks. II needs only a single
glance at the specimen to see that m
thing out of the ordinary run of things
might be expected from him. The first
time no experimental "n me | we'll re-
member. ! was sitting beneath y hazel
bush in the shadow of u stone wall, ex-
aiming some flowers which ! had just
gathered. For a matter of iye minutes
while thus employed | was oarelessly
conscious Of voices somewhere in the
remote neighborhood at the other side
Of the wall. The Tone suggested a mas
culine source, II at one momentseemed
to take the form of a s%oliloquy, and
then Of an interrupted dialogue, now
suggesting n long drawn nasal exclama-
ton which pictured to my mind u Corio-
lanus in the far distance driving his
oxen by sheer force Of his lungs" 'Ha-
a-aw-w-w." with n falling infection,
and again Il yell across the meadow,
'Sa-ay! fra-a-nk! Waou," or perhaps a
brief nasal interchange of ~seasonable
comment upon crops or weather. All
these pretty pastoral visions lowered in
my fancy between my botany glass and
my flowers, AZ | have said, and would
nave vanished like a dream had not a
little incident served to revive them,
and forever frame them in my memory.
My flower identified, | prepared to re-
sumo my walk, whom my attention was
claimed by n curiouS visitor which had
suddenly perched upon a head OF tear
thumb blossoms close at my elbow,
ogling me most michievously.
| had seen portraits of this black
sheep in tho rogues' gallery of insects,
but was never brought into such close
quarters with the original before. |
o o identified him, and knowing that
in my superior fighting weight | would
be perfectly safe in taekling him, ! pre-
pared to catch him with a sweep of my
hand, when a away he went with a "Ba-
a-a-a-R-a-a:a-a-a!" which seemed drawn
out in a long nasal perspective to the
limit of my hearing, and the inspiration
Of my pastoral visions was suddenly re-
voaled.
On several occasions since | have been
momentarily deceived by the twanging
buzz of the big fly. 1t is impossible to
suggest in type the peculiar quality OF
the sound, but he may be heard tuning
up n autumn day III our meadows. He
is closely related to the murderous mock
bumblebee which l recently described.

WANTED TO BE AN ORPHAN.

enough to answer for a London fog.
Everywhere was slippery, and every
thing was dripping.
A young woman was hurrying
across the city as fast as the uncer-
tain footing and the jostling crowd
would allow. The crowd was soon
left behind. The waterproof cape
was pulled closer, the umbrella
righted, and steps quickened. Sud-
denly through the mist came child's
voice, in mournful wall. The sounds
were not at all like those of child
who expects to have it's own way If it
cries hard enough, but desolate, hope
less sounds that seemed to say, III
know it is of no use, but can't help
it,
The young woman peered through
the mist, and soon discovered mite
of a child headed, bare-footed
and shivering, sitting on a wet, muddy
step. She hesitated. She was very
anxious to catch the next tram; if
she lost five minutes it would be gone
before she could get to the station.
The grimy little fists were so screwed
into the child's eyes that she could
not see, and the CRIME had been so
diluted with tears and rubbed about
by the active fists, that very ludic-
rous countenance was revealed to her
when her voice brought The fists down
with jerk; and startled eyes looked
out from the muddy face,
"What is the trouble, little one?
Are you lost?o
me are not losted. Me wants to
be an orphin. O-o-o-h!"
"Want to be an orphanF' the
woman exclaimed. "Want to be an
orphan! Perhaps you mean you are
crying because you don't want to be
an orphan. Is that it,"
'sNo-o-o-o! Me wants to be an or
phin! Mikey's an orpbin, an he lives
in a fine house all carpits an picters,
an he has booful close, an shoes
'thout holes in EN-, an he has every
sing to eat, an books an playsings,
jes' like rich folks"
30! l see," said the listener, feel
ing vexed that she had missed the
train for nothing more serious than
childs notion. She started on her
way, saying little severely, "You
ought to be glad that you have a
home, and father and mother to
take care of you. 1t is wicked to wish
yourself an orphan"
"O-o-o-o-hl" began the plaintive
wall again, saint no farver, an
muvver's koss. O-o-o-o-h!"
The woman paused again. That
half-weird little moaning went to her
heart. The child's grief was without
doubt sincere, however foolish the
cause Of it.
Luella King, for that was the young
girls name, had a bright idea just
then, and being an energetic person,
set about Immediately putting the
idea in motion.
"See here, little one, where do you
live?"
Mournfully, cover there"
"Will you show me the way?
wish to see your mother"
The child looked up suspiciouslY
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-08-02

The waters were promptly accepted
"Sec n door, frd floor" directed the
child as they climbed the stairs. She
pushed open the door, half tumbling
in, and a tired, cross voice commenced
to scold.
"Where have you been? You'll
catch your death prowlin' around in
the wet. Didn't l tell you She
stopped short as she saw the stranger.
Luella walked over to the woman,
introduced herself, and then talked
in low tones, smiling and laughing a
little. The child remained near the
door, ready to run if she saw occasion.
The mother smiled family, at last,
and said little hesitatingly, swell,
if you care to take the trouble, but
it's only foolish notion; she will
soon forget all about IT.. .
Then Miss Luella went to the child.
''Dora-your mother tells me your
name is Dora-you can be an orphan
if you wish. Your mother will wash
and dress you, and then | will take
you to the Orphans Home. | am ac-
quainted there. | have just come
from there. | visit them and read
stories to them and teach them games.
They will take you if I ask them.'
"Lots of ehildren?'
ayes, indeed; fifty
Unlikely there?'
ri do not know. | will inquire.
Dora looked incredulous, but seeing
that her mother was in earnest and
proceeded to wash and dress her, she
gradually became convinced that it
was true, and grew quite gay.
She trotted after Luella without
kissing her mother, and evidently
without pang of regret. The young
girl was shocked. What .queer ways
poor people had.
The home and the mother Dora left
so willingly were poor enough, and
nothing nice about them, as Dora had
said, but both were neat and orderly.
Down the dark and uneven stairs,
and out into the muddy street, Lucia
led the child, who skipped and pratt
tied, and was hardly awed into silence
when they entered street car. The
delight so visible in her face caused
her guardian to mentally exclaim,
"You little heathenl"
When they walked up the broad
stone steps of the "Home," the
child's eyes sparkled, the little hand
clasped in that of her guide trembled.
1t was all like wonderful fairy story
to Dora, though she had never heard
OF fairy stories.
Luella went first to the superin-
tendent and then TO tue matron tDen
she kissed Dora good-by, and said
''Be good girl. | will come to sec
you some day."
Two weeks later she visited the
Home again, and inquired for the
child whom she had made an orphan

the matron with a smile. They went
to the play-room, and on opening the
door, a number of children were seer
playing with dolls and blocks an(
toys, and one, a little apart from The

me muvyer thout muffin. ;"
Luella, delighted that the child
proved to have a human heart, clasped
her in her arms and said, "You little
darling, you shall go right home to
your mother this blessed minute
What do you suppose she has done
without you all this timer The child
shook her head, as if that question
was involved in deep mystery, and
looked earnestly into Luella's face.
"What you 'spect?''
III expect she has been very, very
lonely. Now run and get your cloak
and hat"
Luella hoped the child would not
leave the Home as unceremonlously
as she had parted from her mother,
and she did not. She kissed every
child, clasplng her short arms around
their necks and looking earnestly in
their eyes as if she meant to remem-
Der them. Then she kissed the ma
iron on each cheek, murmuring,
"Dood lady," She placed her chubby
hand in Luella's and walked out
quietly, looking back once, wistfully.
The energetic girl did some lively
thinking on her way back to Dora's
home. The child wondered if the
pretty lady was displeased with her.
At last she pulled her dress: "Solly
wiz me?"
"No, dear; am very glad about
YOU"
"All yight.
When they reached the dreary ten
ement house Dora would have rushed
in, but was held back. On the "third
floor, second door, they paused. A
sad, care-worn face looked out, but
suddenly frightened as it caught sight
of Dora.
"Muvver, I've coined; Eve
comed!' exclaimed the child spring
ing into her mothers arms.
"Tiss me-" she commanded, set
ting the example, "every ladies do it
at the Home. More; some more"
she begged, as the woman kissed her
once, and then attempted to speak to
Luella.
They all sat down at last, Dora still
clinging to her mother. She cuddled
up to her, and caressed and kissed
the rough hand, while the woman
talked with the visitor, whose eyes
told how she enjoyed the scene.-
They talked a long time, so 1t
seemed to the child, who was impa-
tent to begin her chatter. She did
not heed their conversation until she
caught the words, "Orphans' Home. !"
Then she Strengthened up:
"No orphin no more; never no
more"
Luella was satisfied that the woman
was deserving, that she was world
and overworked. Her plan was to
find work and a home for the mother
at the Orphanage. She Immediately
returned to the Hone and found that
they would be glad to have capable
woman in the laundry. When the
news was told Dora, she was wild
with delight. She danced about and
clapped her hands:
