TALE OF A RUNAWAY PIG.
His Fondness For Potato Patches Led Him
Into Trouble.

Patches
Into Trouble.
In the old home we once had funny
little pig. Flo was generally to be seen
III the act of running away. Hardly ever
do remember seeing his face toward
me. Ho also had IL knack of getting
away from all the other pigs.
The field next the houso-tho "homo
field" as we used to call twas kind
OF common for the hogs, cattle and
fowls. The next was a potato field, and
the little pig had taken it into his head to
get into that one. How he got i'll no ono
could tell, for the field was well fenced
and there was no opening through which
he could enter. How did4e get in?
Ono day watched He wandered in
sort Of unnoticeablc way toward u
crooked old log, across which tho fenco
had been built.
Suddenly, though closely watching, L
lost sight of my little friend But before
l had recovered from my surprise 1 was
Hstonishod to SEQ him in the potato field.
We'll, now, that is very strange"
said. GLOW did lie do it?''
went to the old log, and. 10, it was
hollow. The whole trick became quite
clear to me-
went into tho potato field to drive
him out, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log SO that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he
had the best of NE entirely. He either
could not or would not SEQ the log and
maintained such III air of ignorance On
that point that | had TO give up tho task
III despair, drive him out by the gate
and bring him home by u long, round
about way.
The next day L made up my mind to
play trick on him, and did won't
out very carly and moved the log lust a
little so that both ends would be in tho
"homc field -
Then stood at some distance off and
watched. l never was mere amused in
my life. He separated himself from the
other pigs and then went toward the old
log and got III and through it and (as
he evidently thought) got out into the
potato field. l could understand this by
tho way he Immediately began to sniff
Tor the potatoes. But, finding none, he
seemed somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he
was still i'll the home field, and he con-
cludcd that he had not gone through the
log. So he went through it onco moro,
| but only to find himself again in the
'homc field. "
This seemed to puzzle him moro than
ever. He looked around in establishment.
l could clearly SEQ that expression on
his face. For moment he stopped and
was evidently thinking very hard. Once
more he got through the log, with the
same result of finding himself in the
''homc field. -
This time, am sure, if he could have
talked he would have cried out,
'Spooks!"
lie stood quite still for few seconds,
shifted the mir, and | could distinctly
sec the bristlcs on his back gradually
rising up on end. Suddenly he uttered
peculiar kind of "bock" and ran with
all his might toward the other pigs.
The little pig WAS never seen i'll that
part OF tho field again. Many a time wo
tried TO drive him to the old log, but wo
could not get him to go--Ladios' Jour
