HULDAH'S REVOLUTION
By PHOEBE WILEY BENsEL
Copyright, by Short Stories Co.. Ltd)

Huldah Alden stood in the doorway
of the substantial, comfortable-lookin
farm house, watching her brother and
his family drive through the big gate
and down the bright. sunlit road.
Her heart was filled with rebellion
as she drank in the fragrance of the
outdoor life around her She was
gentle soul and all her life had yielded
her own will to someone else. Years
before, when Huldah was young,
fair-faced girl, a dream of love had
come to her, wherein she had seen
herself the mistress of William Jew
ett's home and the mother of flock
Of laughing, bright-eyed children. But
her mother had frowned upon the
youthful lovers, and after that HUI
dah's life had been graver and dull
er than ever. The years glided swift
ly by, and Huldah Alden passed quick
ly from her rosy and white girlhood
into a spiritless and dull old maiden
hood. All the brightness and beauty
had been crushed from her life by the
indomitable will of her mother and a
patient endurance had taken it's place.
But always the thought had been with
ner that some time there would be a
change, when she would be free to
live her own life in her own way. She
had been dutiful daughter, but she
knew that life held something sweet
er and better than anything she had
known, and she had always dreamed
of some time surrounding herself with
the peace and happiness, the beauty
and brightness that had always been
denied her. But when old Mrs. Alden
had died, and Huldah was beginning
to see stray CLEANS of sunshine light

ing several. which began to squeal.
Then the whole bunch made An at.

the wagon and kept on shooting as
long as the ammunition which they
had in their pockets last I'd As they
were opening their bats to get out
more ammunition the peccaries
climbed up the tongue Of the wagon
and jumped into It, and the men only
saved themselves by jumping on to
the seat and then on to limbs OF the
trees, the peccaries taking possession
of the wagon and tearing things to
pieces. They remained In possession
