An Adventure in the Hog Pasture.

that Mark had reached the fence. He
sprang toward the hogs that stood be-
tween this and him, and beat them
over the head. They gave way, and
he started to run, when he was jerked
back by something that tugged at his
hand.
In the excitement he had slipped a
finger through the ring In the end of
the chain and could not withdraw it.
He was chained to the pig! The dan.
ger of the situation really came to the
boy for the first time. He struggled
madly to release his finger; but the
ring had slipped above the knuckle,
and his struggles only served tc
blacken and discolor the finger.
If he was to escape he would have
to fight his way through. He could
not run. The pain in his finger from
the continual Juggling of the pig was
becoming excruciating. Slowly he
moved toward the fence, now about a
hundred yards distant, dragging the
pig. The drove of hogs moved with
him in solid and constantly narrow
ing circle
To increase his difficulties, the dis.
tracted pig began to run about him,
winding his legs in the chain and
threatening to overthrow him. Carl
was becoming terror-stricken, frantic.
He struck hog which was disputing
his way, and saw his stick fly to
pieces. He looked up and cried aloud
in terror. The fence was so near, yet
he could not reach it.
He could see Mark running about
excitedly on the other side of the
fence and-whistling? Yes whistling
He was calling Mack.
Carl turned eagerly toward the
house and his heart gave a great
bound. Help was coming! Up the
long slope that led from the house
Mack was coming like an arrow sped

Ing to the reports of travellers, hogs
are fierce and cruel, unrelenting in
their fury, and will attack men when
reused. Circumstances occasionally
arise which show that this, wild strain
has not been wholly lost, even in the
most obese porker.
Mark and Carl Perkins, two Chica-
60 boys, aged II and IA, while spend
Ing their vacation last summer on
their Grandfather Trigg's farm in
central Wisconsin, had an experience
with hogs which they will not soon
forget.
Among the many delights which the
farm afforded, the one which gave the
boys the most pleasure, during the
early part of the summer, was pick
ing wild strawberries in a pasture a
half-mile from the house. The most
convenient route to this field was
across the hog pasture, a ten-acre lot
which lay between the "strawberry
pasture" and the house.
On these berrying trips they were
often accompanied by Mack, farm
peared on the scene with his rifle.
One afternoon, the week after their
arrival, they started for strawberries,
carrying with them two tin pals and
lunch which their grandmother had
put up for them.
Boys" their grandfather called
after them, "see if there are any
gophers in those traps I set on the
hill! The little pests are going to kill
all the grass if I don't manage to yet
rid of them somehow"
The boys went to the place indi-

from a bow. Would he be in time?
Carl turned and began to kick
savagely at the hogs. The frightened
pig ran between his legs, and whirled
about, wrapping him hopelessly
in the chain. He struggled to
keep his footing, but fell under
the rush of the hogs. For a
brief moment they ran over him, and
he covered his face with his hands,
expecting with each breath to feel
their teeth. Then to his amazement
they left him, and he was lying alone
in the sunshine, unmolested. Even
the pig had escaped by freeing itself
from the trap.
The explanation for this came from
an uproar at one side. In the midst
of the drove Mack was spinning like
a top, swapping right and left, a
bleeding snout here and an ear there
showing that these leaps were not
futile. At last the dog made a lunge
at a particularly large hog, and
fastened so securely that his hold
could not be broken. The squeals of
his victim sent the entire drove fee.

Carl got up slowly. crossed the
fence, and sat down. The world
seemed to be travelling round in a
circle. Mark, the clouds, the trees
and the twa pals of berries all seemed
part of huge merry-go-round.

The boys went on to the straw

filled, they sat down to rest, and sud-
denly remembered that they were

and jam and cold chicken.

Carl, after they had finished their

He stopped to bend the spring, but
the pig made such frantic efforts to
escape that it jerked up the stake
which held the chain and hobbled
away, with the trap clinging to its
foot.

cried Mark.
They were indeed acting strangely
They were running toward them from
all quarters of the pasture. uttering a
noise that was more like roar than
a grunt.
"Hogs?" said Carl, scornfully. Hogs
won't hurt you. See, can drive them

stick and raped hog smartly ove1
the back. The animal squealed and
ran to one side.
Mark was treasured. His conf
