The Spotted Pig Mystery.
BY ELLIS PARKER BUTLER.

Timville was in the throes of the annual
munich pal campaign when Widow Mikesell's
spotted pig was stolen, and never was pig
stolen at more unlucky time. The great
fight of the campaign was over the office of
town marshall and every one of Timville's
two hundred citizens was deeply interested in
the fight, for the nominees were Eben Dill
worth, who had held the office for four terms,
and Simon Long, the only citizen who had no
visible means of support
Eben Dilworth had served long and well,
and it seemed pity to deprive him of the
position. Among the women he was a great
favorte, for he was never too busy to catch a
hayward hen, or to tie up a clothes-line, and
he would even run errands to the grocery
when his rheumatism was not bothering him.
If the female portion of Tmvie had been
able to vote, Eben Dilworth would have been
far-and-away winner.
But when ST Long nominated HIMSELF the
contest took new aspect. ST was the town
"dead-beat," and lived Systematically on

mercy. The grounds, both in and about the
buildings, some four years ago, were literally
sown with rocks, large boulders, smaller rocks
and innunerable stones. To-day this former
rocky desert, where even the cactus failed to raise
its prickly head, is the home of the jessanine
the honeysucke, the oleander and the rose: gar
den of Eden in veritable Inferno truly extremes
meet, and these grand workers in this mid Pacific
terra incognta are doing their good works
patiently. thoroughly. nobly; to them when their
tired eyes are closed in the last sleep; their weary
hands meeting across pulseless heart: in that
supreme moment,
"When hfes fHM fes'cy's DER"

On the road honeward to liberty and civiliza-
ton again, now that this east territory of 6ooo
acres has been safely investigated, it would be
well to have some further facts inculcated which
would lead to dispeng the glamou and drea
which surrounds the WARDS of the Nation and
their comfortable. even if isolated. mid-ocean
home and thus present the other side of the
shield.
1t will be remembered that the settlements are
situated on a natural. small extension of land,
which may be seen on any map of Nolokai utting
out from about the northern center of the island
into the surrounding waters. The area of this
piece is 5000 acres. about g square miles. and
this is all the territory allotted to the Nations
wards. On this there are now about 100 'sick''
including men, women and children. with an addi-
tional number of about 100 "cean" persons, l. e.,
sisters, clergy. physician native and fore On
nurses. teachers and servants. a grand total of
1000 souls. OF these "sick there are about 100
Hawaiians, including haf-castes: about 50
Chinese and about 40 white foreigners. Some of
the latter have been located there for years. all of
whom, however, have led radically immoral
lives. The death rate at one time "a per

butcher shop. Hank ODER, the Jolly butcher
investigation, but nothing like pork could be
found in the place, except key of pigs feet
from St. Louis. After looking them over one
bv one Eben decided they were not the feet
of the spotted pig, for the spotted pig was but
a young thing, and these feet were all full
grown. besides which they showed evidence
weeks.
From house to house, from store to store.
Eben Dilworth tramped, his cane punctuatng
his steps. Occasionally he would run his
hand through his long gray beard, wipe his
glasses and scratch his head thoughtfully.
For the first time in years he donned his silver
star of office, and his good-natured face grew
stern. Every here and there he would be
stopped by question:
- Hi, Eben, how are We gettin on?''
- Very good, he would reply e" almost
got him now.
- is he one o the Timvlle folks:
''lle is.
And on he would tramp.
The excitement grew intense. Who could
it have been: Who was the guilty man:
NeiHhbors regarded neighbors with suspic-
ion but the disappearance of the spotted PIG
remained mystery. Only one thing
sure: if the culprit could be caught he would
not be allowed to escape. The town council
personally visited the lookup and saw that it
was in good condition and that escape from it
impossible.
The day before election Eben Dilworth
was more active than ever. His cane fairly
patted on the walks of Timville. 1t
day of suspense and anxiety, and when at
length evening came and Eben Dilworth
thumped into the grocery where nearly all the
male portion of rimve was congregated, he
was acCosted by many anxious faces.
"Well,' said Bumstead. the grocer, Eyer
don't seem ter of got him, Eben.
"No." he said. seating himself on an up
turned barrel. 81 ain t.
''An' you amt found no trace o the pig:
asked Sal Gregg.
''Ihat ain sa,in said Eben. ''Mebby

"What yer mean. Eben:'

'Well why in thunder don't yer arrest him

toward the door. Then he turned and faced
them.

great impartiality, and as he faithfully re-
Trained from work, he was known as the
enough, if it is self-supportng. but as the ars-
tocracy of Timville was not, it became bur-
den. 1t was plain that if ST Long could be
elected town marshal he would be able to live
as an aristocrat should. on the monthly salary
of twenty dollars. Thus arose two factions
one of which believed in rewarding Il faithful
officer by continuing him in office, and the
other of which stood for the policy of making
a necessary expense cancel an unnecessary
one.
The chief argument. aside from this, against
the election of Eben Dilworth was that he had
not in all the years of his marshalship arrested
an offender, and this was the point on which
the Loneites made their great fight Against
this it was asserted that there had been no
to take in custody. and that even the most
efficient official could hardly be expected to
arrest culprits when no one was willing to
pose as Il criminal. TO this again the Long
ties declared that old Eben would not dare to
arrest anyone. if there should happen to be
anyone to arrest. because at best he was
scarcely able to walk with a cane. and it was
a patent fact that he could not see five feet in
front of his nose.
1t was here the case stood when the great
storm of the summer of 1897 burst over Tim
vile. The lightning flashed, the thunder
roared. the wind blew. and rain and hail fell
in the cyclone cellars, and when the storm
passed they emerged to find windows broken
and garden patches laid waste. But this was
not the worst. When Widow Mikesell went
out to feed her spotted pig that evening, it was
gone. The playhouse gate was latched. there
were no openings through which it could have
wfully vacated the place. and it was clear
that the pig had been carried away.
1t was small pig. but it's absence created
great uproar in Timville Everyone knew
before of the spotted pig, Widow Mikesel
was the greatest gossip in all Timvie, and if
every inhabitants male and female. did not
know the weight appearance and price paid
for the spotted pig, it was not through her
neglect. She had labored long and well to
impart the information. Anyone in Timville
could have told you otf-hand how many spots
Widow Mkesell's pig bore, and how many
times a day she fed it, and of whom she
bought it, and whether she paid too much or
too little
But the pig was gone, and it had been car
ried away at time when it's absence meant
much to the rival candidates for the post of
town marshal.
and barber, we'll see of Ole Eben kin ketch
thief. Ell he kin, he gifts the place. Eff he
don't ST Long gifts it,
This expressed the views of Tmvlle to a
dot, and Eben found himself face to face with
the question ''who stole the spotted pig?'
There was absolutely no clue. The pig had
been in the pen: now it was gone. Its style,
size, appearance and earmarks were known
to everyone, but they were but slight things on
which to institute search.
1t was but three days to election day, and
Eben forced to act quickly. The first
oay he spent talking the matter over in front
df the grocery.
