4 —THE—
REVOLT OF MOSES
4 By Hope Daring. »
VV VV VVVYVYVYVY
Not the Moses of sacred history—
just plain Moses Smith, farmer, aged
60; tall, with stooping shoulders; face
furrowed with wrinkles, that is, the
part visible above his grizzled beard;
eyes gray and sleepy, ye with a kindly
light in their faded depths. Sarah
Ann, his wife, was aiso tall but
straight, carrying herhead stiffly erect.
Her blue eyes were very wide open;
her brown hair, in which were only
a few silver threads, was always
smooth, and her thin red lips had a
fashion of closing that Moses well un-
derstood.
For 30 years they had dwelt togeth-
er. In all these years Mrs. Smith had
commanded Moses and Moses had
obeyed. There had been but few occa-
sions on which he had advanced
opinions of his own. But this fair
morning, when the sun was, in count-
less dewdrops, multiplying his own
brightness, and the south wind wooed
the rosebuds into perfect bloom,
Moses Smith determined to have for
once, at least, his own way.
Two weeks before he had heard his
wife say to a neighbor,—
“Anybody can wind Moses round
their finger.”
Now Moses knew his weakness; was
aware that his wife knew it, for did
not she tell him of it every day? But
to discuss it with another! That was
different. He had pondered the mat-
ter for 14 days, and his mind was fully
made up to this day assert himself,
but he ate his breakfast of toast, fried
potatoes, ham, coffee and molasses
cookies in his usual silent way. As
they rose from the table Mrs. Smith
said,—
“I want you to churn right away,
Moses, ‘fore it gets so hot.”
“All right. I'll be back from the
barn soon,” and he slouched off at his
usual leisurely gait.
Mrs. Smith entered the pantry,
raised a trap door that led to the cel-
lar, and descending, saw that the jar
of cream was ready for the churn.
Then she went about herusual morning
work. In a short time she heard her
husband’s voice at the kitchen doer.
“Is that air cream ready?”
“Of course it is. But you hain’t got
the water.”
“Yes, I have. I jest drawed three
buckets.”
“Now, Moses Smith, I hain’t heard
you carry it into the woodhouse.”
“I guess you didn't. I'm going to
churn out under the apple tree.”
There was an ominous silence.
Mrs. Smith persisted in using an old
fashioned dash churn. In warm
weather this churn was placed in a
tub of cold water, drawn with a wind-
lass from the stone-lined well by the
kitchen door. A few steps from the
well stood a gnarled old apple tree,
whose spreading branches made a
canopy of breezy shade. Moses had
many times hinted a desire to do the
churning here instead of in the wood-
house, but his wife always forbade.
“You bring that tub of water into
the woodhouse. The churn is out
there, all ready, and you see to it you
don’t spatter the cream when you
empty it.”
She went up-stairs, opened the win-
dows of her sleeping room and put the
bed to air. She also tidied her careful-
ly kept sitting-room. When she went
again to the kitchen, she stood for an
instant transfixed with astonishment
by the picture framed by the open
door.
Under the apple tree stood her hus-
band, his straw hat laid aside, while
both hands grasped the churn dasher,
slowly propelling it up and down.
“Moses Smith!” Sarah Ann pushed
open the screen and advanced to his
side. “What do you mean by bringing
that cream out here? Didn't you hear
what I said?”
“Yes. As to what I meant by bring-
in’ the cream out here, I meant to
churn it that's all.”
“Well, you won't do it here. You
carry that churn straight into the
woodhouse. I don’t see what does
make you act so like a fool, Moses
Smith.”
“I hain’t actin’ like a fool, Sary Ann.
I can churn jest as well out here. It's
a real pleasure to listen to the mother
robin over yender and to see the sun-
shine peepin’ through the leaves.”
“Humph! Poetry and work don't go
well together. Why don’t you do as 1
tell you?”
Mr. Smith dropped both hands from
the churn dasher, drew himself up
as straight as was possible after stoop-
ing so many years, and said distinct-
1y,—
*“Cause I don’t want to.”
“I don’t care what you want,” Mrs,
Smith returned angrily. “I tell you
not to churn another stroke here, I
guess I—"
“Sary Ann,” Moses leaned one arm
reflectively against the tree; “I don’t
care a mite whether I churn or not,
but if I do it will be right here and
nowhere else.”
For a moment she was speechless,
“I'd like to know what you mean,”
chickens, and I'll take some of the
new you baked today.”
Moses thereupon rose and walked
to the pantry. Here on a table lay
half a dozen loaves, fresh from the
oven. He took up a brown crusted
one and a knife.
“Moses Smith! Alr you crazy? Don't
you hear me? I say, you needn't cut
that loaf of bread. This bread’s good
enough.”
It was too late. Already the sharp
knife had severed two slices from the
loaf.
“What do you mean?’ the woman
shrieked. “What do you mean, Moses
Smith?”
“Now see here, Sary Ann, I'll tell
you what I mean. I mean to have
some new bread, that's all,” and back
to the table he strode, bread in hand.
Mrs. Smith did not return to the
table. Her husband saw little of her
the remainder of the day. She retired
early, and when Moses came up to bed
she was asleep, apparently.
The next morning Mrs. Smith had re-
gained the use of her tongue and ignor-
ing Moses’ declaration of independ-
ence, scolded heartily about every-
thing else. Moses bore it in silence,
retreating to the barn as soon as pos-
sible.
It was Saturday. On the afternoon
of thut day the Smiths usually drove
to Ovid, three miles distant, with
farm produce. This particular afternoon
Mrs. Smith arrayed herself in her best
cashmere and Sunday bonnet.
“I'm going to the missionary meeting
at Sister Swin’s,” she announced, as
Moses lifted the jar of butter into the
back of the buggy. “Here is a basket
of cottage cheese. You can drive round
on Maple street and sell it out. Be sure
you go to the back doors, and they'll
give you five cents for two balls.
There's just 60 balls—a dollar and a
half's worth. I want the money to
make out 10 dollars I'm going to lend
Widow Green. She'll pay me 50 cents
for the use of it three months. Now
don’t step on my dress,” as he clumsily
took his place at her side.
“Fifty cents for three months.”
Moses slapped the fat horse with the
lines. “That'll be two dollars for a
year. Two dollars for ten dollars. Let
me see—why, Sary Ann, that's 20 per
cent.”
“What if it is?’
There was a brief pause, then Moses
began again.
“But, Sary Ann, Widder Green is
awful poor. Why don’t you lend her
the money for nothin’? It's to finish
payin’ for her sewin’ machine, and
there's only you and me, and we've
got two thousand dollars ahead, ’sides
| the farm.”
“If you can't talk sense, do keep
| still. Lend it for nothin’, indeed! Be
sure you understand ‘bout the cheese.”
“See here, Sary Ann, I shan't peddle
out your cheese for any such purpose.
You can do it, or I'll take it to the
she gasped. “The idea of talking
like—"
“Never mind. The question ‘pears to
be, shall I churn or not? I tell you
plain, if I do, it will be right here.”
What did it mean? And he had
twice interrupted her! Mrs. Smith was
not vanquished, but she was so con-
fused that a truce seemed the best
thing she could think of.
“Do as you like,” she said shortly,
walking away and slamming the door
behind her.
Moses took her at her word. An
hour later she found that, after finish-
ever, for it was not until they were
| ing the plate toward him. The plate
ing the churning, he had carried the
churn and contents to the place where
she usually worked the butter. She
her husband's daring. However,
things seemed otherwise much as
seated at the dinner table that Moses
again asserted himself.
“Why don’t you take it, then?" push-
held two crusts.
Moses shook his head.
“That's too dry. You know my teeth
alr poor. You can feed that to the
store. But I don’t do such work, while
You air to missionary meetin’, to get
the money fur you to grind down the
{ poor with, that's all.”
Moses deposited his wife at Mrs.
| Swin’s gate and drove off, making no
reply to the command she hurriedly
whispered as she saw her hostess at
the door. Surely lie would not fail her
this time. He would do the errand,
for Moses disliked waste. She was
sure that it would be all right, not-
withstanding his queer freaks of yes-
terday. So she dismissed the subject
from her mind, and three hours later
| found him waiting for her in the ap-
pointed place. She clambered to her
| seat and they started home in silence,
“Have a good meetin’? he ventured
at last.
“Yes, we did,” was her testy reply.
They were within half a mile of
home when Moses dropped a handful’
of change in her lap.
“Money for your cheese,” he said
quietly.
She counted it twice.
“There's only 75 cents. Where's the
rest?”
Ihat's all there is,” he declared
doggedly. “I told you I shouldn't
peddle it out. Golden took 45 balls,
three for five cents, at the store. I
give old Mrs. Blake five balls, and that
Morley girl, who is tryin’ so hard to
support her little brothers, the rest.
They both belong to our church, you
know.”
No reply. When they reached the
house, as Mrs. Smith stepped upon the
ground she looked into her husband's
face.
“Once for all, I ask you what do you
mean, Moses Smith?”
“Well, now, v Ann, I don’t mind
tellin’ you I never promised to obey
you, but I've done it fur 30 year. I'm
through now, that's all.”
Without a word she walked into
the house. When Moses entered an
hour later he found his favorite cream
biscuits and fresh gingerbread for sup-
per. Mrs. Smith talked, told her hus-
band about the missionary meeting,
and ended by asking him if he would
step over to Mrs. Green's for her.
“Tell her I will have that ten dollars
for the first of the week; and tell her I
shan’t be in any hurry for it, and to
never mind any interest.”
Moses made no reply, but hastened
on his errand.—Waverly Magazine.

the Rev. J. M. Bacon to
a London Daily Mai! representative,
referring to a recent balloon voyage
from Newbury, which ended at Saver-
nake.
“The drenching which you antici-
pated came a few minutes after we
began to see Newbury skidding away
below us. Directly I had finished sig-
nalling to our friends at Newbury gas
works I saw Hungerford looming in
the distance, and at once began a mes-
age—‘'Bobs is coming’—as arranged.
finished we found ourselves in the
midst of a terrific hailstorm, which
filed the paraphernalia inside the car.
“For the next half hour the scene
was beyond description. Imagine
yourself 2000 feet up in the air with a
dense London fog all around. Through
this fog imagine a score of snake-like
lightning forks flashing past — all
apparently aimed from an invisible
battery of artillery somewhere above
the dense gas bag which blotted out
all chance of looking upward. With
each flash came the report of a thun-
derclap.
“How soon, we thought, would a bet-
ter aimed discharge hit the face of the
big baloon and send us all like a peb-
ble from a catapault back to earth?
Fully ten minutes after entering the
thundercloud not a word was spoken
by the occupants of the car, the sur-
roundings being too awesome for con-
versation.
“Mr. Spencer, the aeronaut, finally
broke silence. ‘We'd better get down
out of this,’ he said. It was the first
intimation from official expert sources
that our unspoken fears were scientifi-
cally warranted.
“ ‘Cannot we get above that cloud?
said Admiral Fremantle, who, T must
confess, seemed to be enjoying the ex-
citement more than any one else. As
he spoke a storm of fiery ribbons shiv-
ered around us. Mr. Spencer's judg-
ment, however, was against attempt-
ing to penetrate further upward. ‘We
wil be lucky if we can drop before
passing over Savernake I'orest, he
said, opeinz the valve.
“With the abandonment sf the trip
of course all idea of further signaling
to earth was out of the question. In-
deed, it was more than doubtful to us
whether anybody had c¢ven seen us af-
ter we left Newbury gas works. The
only postcard we dropped at Hunger-
ford appears to have beén found, and
the only bomb we exploded seems to
bave been unnoticed, except by cur
friends who saw us off. However,
having decided to stops, it became a
question of finding a favorable spot.
“Right in our track was Savernake

tending ten miles each way to our
right and left. Fortunately for us,
Mr. Spencer discovered a clearing
which we dropped with scarcely a
mishap.

“Mr. Percival Spencer, one of the
most experienced aeronauts in Eng-
land, declared that never had he been
through such an ordeal. He has fre-
quently scended in thunderstorms
and seen lightning playing around the
balloon, but the terrifying experience
of Friday surpassed anything he had
seen.”
Mr. Bacon is by no means disheart-
ened at the result. “We will try
again,” he said, and his daughter, Miss
Bacon, who had a fearful experience
in a balloon trip last November, de-
clared that next time she will go, too.
Hot Race With a Grizzly.
W. H. Person, local manager of a
local typewriter company, received a
leter this morning from Tom Hamil-
ton, postmaster at Hamilton, Routt
County, describing a thrilling race
with a bear which he enjoyed this
week.
The bear was a big grizzly. The
grizzly when he sees a human form is
bound to do one of two things. He
will either run at or away from the
stranger, and if he does the former it is
generally a case of doughnuts to pret-
zels that it is all off with the stranger.
In tnis ease the bear that runs at a
man yearned for a close acquaintance
with the postmaster and would proba-
bly have interfered seriously with the
future delivery of the United States
mail but for the fact that Hamilton is
something of a rough rider and had a
horse under him.
Postmaster Hamilton had for the
time being left the ffairs of state in
the hands of a subordinate while he
went out to round up some straying
cattle. He went about three miles
from home, and was standing beside
his horse wondering which way to turn
next when there was a sti' in some
brush ahead of him. It looked too
small a disturbance for a cow, but he
thought it might be a calf, and went
forward to investigate. Ie was with-
in a few feet of the brush when a big
grizzly stood on its hind legs and
threw him a Kiss.
Hamilton didn’t stop to catch the
kiss, but made a bolt for his horse.
The steed had seen Mr. Bear, and
started away almost as cagerly as did
his master, and it was nip and tuck
for the saddle betwe.a bruin and the
postmaster. After a run of 100 yards
Hamilton caught the pommel of the
saddle and threw himself aboard jus
as the bear made a bound for him. A
pair of cpurs went into the horse's
hide, and the animal leaped forward
with a bound which made the bear
feel that his meal of man was about
to « cape. But he doubled himself up
into a ball of fury and started redhot
after his intended victim. The chase
kept up until the door of the postmas-
ter’s cabin was reached, when bruin
turned about and made for the woods.
He was allowed to escape—Denver

Perhaps it was that whistle that

Raced the Train Against Fire.
William 8. Knight recently told a
very strange story of a chair car in a
Chicago Great Western Railroad train
that was afire and full of passengers
with the train at full speed. “It w
one of the strangest things I ever ex- | ¢,.
perienced,” said he, “and all the train
men, including the superintendent of
the road, were in a quandary to know | South Americ:
the cause of the car's catching on fire.
We were about seven miles from Des |
Moines when smoke was discovered
curling out from under the middle of
the first chair ear. The fire was be-
tween the two floors of the car, and
seemed to have spread toward both |
e~ds. It had not started near the
wheels, for it was in the centre of the
car, and that would do away with any | strous vine it crawls
theory of a hot box.
“Well, what to do was a little prob- |
lem for the conductor of the train to
ends of the car, and at that place in i
the fields there was no such conve- |
niences. The fire had not yet eaten |
its way through the floor; so the pas- |
sengers needed to have no fear. The
engineer and conductor with a few
passengers stood beside the car, unde- |
cided what to do. If the train re- | ep St
| vapor
mained there the coach must have |
necessarily been burned up, and would
have ‘laid out’ the whole road.
“The conductor suddenly conceived
a plan and immediately shouted ‘All | camphor

Moines at full speed, Tommy! he

with grease and oil, waddied down to |

when we reached Des Moines the fire
had almost eaten through the floor of
the coach. It was quickly extin- i

to a water main, and we drew into the

Duel in Air.
Somebody has asked whether a duel
has ever been fought in the air.
One of the most curious of duels,
says Tit-Bits, was in the balloon duel
The combatants were M. de Grandpre
and M. le Pique, who had quarreled—
about a lady, of course. This lady was
cone Mlle. Tirevit, an actress at the Im-
perial Opera. On the appointed day
M. de Grandpre entered the car of one
balloon, with his second, and M. le
Pique, with his second, mounted the
other in the Garden of the Tuileres, be-
fore an immense crowd of admiring
upward for a distance of about half
+ zy
a mile above the earth. The wind be- | ac
ing light, they were able to keep the | for
distance of about eighty yards between |
each other with which they started. |
On reaching the agreed altitude the |
signal was given to fire. M. le Pique |
both M. le Pique and his second were |
dashed to pieces. The balloon of the
victor continued to ascend, and M. de |
Grandpre came back to earth some!
