OF the snout to the root of the tail about
four feet. Ordinarily fed animals at
the age of one year weigh from $50 to
100 pounds, but when well fattened the

from 500 to COO pounds. They are not
very prolific breeders, producing seldom
more than from seven to eight pigs in
a litter, but they are very careful in
treating their young, and therefore the
loss of pigs is but inconsiderable. The
hardness of this breed enables ii to
thrive even under unfavorable condi-
tions, and to winter in the open air
without suffering. II takes TO the pen,

In New England and in certain part

TIe-was a bachelor, was Thomas TOmp-
kins, and on account of the great sue
cess he had made Of his life he had bet
ter opinion OF Thomas TOnpkins than
he had Of anyone else. except. Of course.
Grace-GT1ce. his l7-year-old ward.
Thomas TOmpkins, as the head of the
Continental theater, and Thomas Temp
kins. as his owI. individual self. was a
gruntled. sordid, frigid. c.rt and cross
parsonage. that is. he was sOrdid and
frigid aud curt and cross to every body
except Grace; and Grace. Why. lie idol
izrd her.
IL was many years before that
Thomas Tompkins took in little waif
of the street; her years numbered few,
but she was q sweet. coy little indiyid-
ual, the very peTsOuifcatiOn, he
thought. Of al the graces he had ever
heard Of, and that's y hy he named her
Grace. He never knew just why il was
that he was attached to her. because
he never did like children. hut he could
Ipt help il. When he had adopted her.
he gave up his bachelor quarters at his
club and secured more cOmmodiOus
place of residence in genteel part IF
the city, AMI there he domiciIed Grace
and himself with a kOusekeeper in
charge.
As years sped on Grace grew into
giTIhoOd. maidenhoOd. and now she
was fairly blooming into wOmanhOod.
She had known no parents or friends
other than Thomas Tompkins and his
efficient hOusekceper. and of late years
had not been with them much of the
time for TIE reason that she had been
giving her attention to her studies.
Thomas Tonpkins had decided in his
own mind that Grace would have all
the educational advantages il was pos
sible for cJUi to have, and. in his minds
eye. he pictured her. at the age of 81, as
n cultured, Eciined, highly polished and
sensible leader b. society.
But Grace did not think much of So
Getty and had taken fancy TO the stage.
On every possible occasion she would
talk to Papa Tommy" Of Joining the
professional ranks. and though this was
the very foundation on which his sue
Cesses were based. he did not approve of
his Grace making a show of herself be-
hind the fOotlights to edify stupid an
diences," Thomas TOI1pkins attempted
10 dissuade his ward from even enter
tanning thoughts about life on tn,
stage, but she seemed To be imbued with
the idea that her forte would be IN opera
and not in society.
Al an early age Grace had shown rare
musical abilities and as she grew older
she was possessed of beautiful voice,
and Thomas Tompkins saw to it that
her musical education was not neg
lected. for he considered this a valuable
and necessary accomplishment.
One day Manager Thomas Tompkins
came home in a turbulent state of mind.
So wrought up over something was he
that he even talked cross to Grace. How
ever at the dinner table his anger of the
lunch hour had changed TO agitation
and his countenance showed traces of
great worry and disappointment. Grace
