A wartime hiding Place.


j. Fl. Gore writes an article for St
Nicholas describing some peculiar " Hid
ing Places In Wartimes. Those he
tells about were all in one house in vir-
ginia. near town which changed
hands, under fire, SO times during the
war. Mr.. Gore says
With fall came the "fattening time
for the hogs They were then brought
in from the distant fields, where they
had passed the summer, and put in
pen by the side of the road. And, al
though within ten feet of the soldiers
as they marched by, they were never
seen, for the pen was completely cover
ed by the winters wood pile, except at
the back, where there was q board
fence through whose cracks the corn
was thrown in. Whenever the passing
advance guard told us that an army
was approaching the hogs were hur-
riedly fed, so that the army might 60
by while they were taking their after
dinner nap and thus not reveal their
presence by an escaped grunt or squeal.
Fortunately the house was situated in
narrow valley, where the opportuni.
ties for bushwhacking were so great
that the soldiers did not tarry long
enough to search suspected wood piles.
On one occasion we thought the hogs
doomed. A wagon broke down near the
house. and the soldier went to the
wood pile fora pole to BIO used in mend
ing the break, Luckily he found stick
to his liking without tearing the pile
to pieces, This suggested that some nice.
straight pieces be always, lett conven-
iently near for such an emergency. in
case 1t should occur again
