his breath.
Now and then he pecped out to
watch the procession OF COWS moving
slowly towards the barn to be MIXED.
And when the last one had entered
the lane, hurrying to catch up with
the rest-and to avoid Spots nips at
her heels-Grunty crept out into the
open!
Then, strange to say, he hurried
towards the lane himself. All at
once the pasture seemed great,
lonesome place. Who knew when a
bear might rise out of a clump OF
bushes near him?
He was careful not to follow too
closely after the herd as they mean
dered down the lane. AT the same
time, he was careful not to iall too
far behind. And he took many a
quick backward glance, TO make sure
no bear was creeping up on him.
Not far from the barn Grunty left
the lane and hurried toward the little
ward outside the piggery. where he
had run away from his mother and
his brothers and his sisters.
When he reached the fence through
which he had crept while Mrs. Pig
was enjoying a nap. he met with a
great surprise. The hole in the
fence was no more! Somebody had
mended it. And there he was, out
side the yard.
Grunty Pig squealed for his
mother. But no one answered. The
fence was too high for him to look
over it. 1t was too tight for him to
peep through.
Il want to get in!' Grunty cried
"Why doesn't somebody answers?

there in the pasture for the rest of his
life, where there was plenty to eat
and plenty to do. He felt sure that
he would have much pleasanter time
there than at home. For one thing,
he knew we'll enough that there was
a Furnishing waiting for him at the
piggery-if he even went back to get
it.
Not until Johnnie Green ard old
dog Spot come to the pasture to
drive the cows down the lane did
Grunty Pig begin to feel the least
twinge of homesickness. And even
then he tried to forget it. He hid
in a clump of brakes near the fence
while Johnnie Green and Spot were
in the pasture, for he didn't want
them to spy him and take him home
with them.
There was delicious damp wood
