BESIEGED BY A HOG. ’A THHnXlNO BXPERTKXCE Uf A THtTIIDfm BTOH-H. ( BT Mmarlo® Thomp»<m. CoD7rt(kt«d, IMG. By Maurice Thompson. It was lat® In the autumn of DH9. as I gather from 4ocumeoL» sent me by a friend In Natehes, that the curious and glmoet grotesque little drama. 1 am about to write was enacted, at a place now' «alled Stokers Point, on the road leading up a little valley of western Mississippi uortheast of the Yazoo country. TWO of Mr. Harvey Megg’s children, a hoy and a girl, age respectively eleven gnd eight were Bent on an errand to the bouse of the nearest neighbor, three mtles away across a thick wood. Their mission was to borrow a hammer and a saw', a ehleel and an auger. They ma le the Journey all safely enough until they were nearly out of the wood on their way baolc home with the tools, when a sudden shower of rain made them look for shelter. which the boy, I^muel by name, found for them in the hollow at the root of an Immense gweetgum tree. Here they fmmd themselves snugly housed, with plenty of room to sit side by side, holding the borrowed tools across their laps.
ing him greatly. His sister was somewhat better off; but the animal's sids bore hard against her body. It was not a long shower, Just a wild, mad dash of rain, making the whole face of the ground foam and roar with watery waves, end ; ng a* suddenly as it began. Meantime Mr. Meggr had become alarmed for his children's safety and set out to find them. Good luck led him near •nough to hear their cries. Never was a man more horrified and astounded than be when he saw their situation. Tnere was the boar, with his ugiy head protruding from the cavity, while the children's distressed voices wailed forth from the interior. Mr. Megg selected a heavy club and began forthwith to belabor that head; but he quickly found that this would only make the boar press back and hurt the children all the more. What was to be ‘ done 0 He. knew too well the unyielding nature of a. hog, and strong as he was his heart sank low. It was nb time for faltering and waving. What was to be done must be done quickly and surely. A single moment he stood, then flung down his club and ran home at full speed to get his rifle, j The way, although scarcely a quarter 1 of a mile, seemed dreadfully long; every : step was like an age; but In time he re- : turned and shot the boar in the forehead, i Then he dragged the heavy body out of ; the tree and found his children still alive and far more scared than physically hurt. . albeit they looked pretty badly used up. i It is most probable that the boar was I not nearly so savage at first as the children thought him to be. In coming to his den in the tree he was more con-

that they buihped their heads trying ^
to
jump back farther Into the tree. At the same ttnro a vrrinJtled and tusked nose, by* no mti"* clean, was thrust Into, the doorway, If I may call It that The girl •creamed and the brother, scarcely knowing what he did, struck the nose with the hammer. It was a heavy whack, and the keen squsal that followed told how it had
hurt.
Thsre Wore no wild hogs, strictly sooalled, in the country; but domestic animalfl had strayed Into the forests and beoome both wild and dangerous. The childnen in taking possession of the cavity in the tree bad invaded the den of a boar, which for years, perhaps, had housed there. He was a large, gaunt and sav-age-looking creature, with tusks so long that they protruded far out of hts mouth and eurlsd upward almost to his fierce little syta. His coarse hair, slightly tinged with red. was mostly tunned the wrong way and was loaded with mud. , A torrent of rain fell, o» it often does id f the South, straight dovai, the drop* fairly packed together. This was, it seemed, ; very dfasagreeaible to the hog. although he ; hwd Juet oome from wallowing In a loblaily ' nearby, and he doubtless • felt that the | children were treating him outrageously. To be whadksd on the noee with a hamrtef merely because one wishes to enter oneff own house to get out of the rain, surely 1» enough to vex the best of tempers, even a hog’s. The boar was furious, and straightway he gave a great grunt, i began to froth at the mouth, raised his bristles higher and In came bis ugly nose igaitt With & vicious snap of thp jaws.

fO THE RESCUE.
—
The children were almost scared to death; but their fear gave them nerve. Lemuel struck hard anq fast with the hammer and hl» sister punched at the boor*! eye with the keen point of the auger. Fortunately, the. doorway was barely large enough for the hog to ehter and this gave the little defenders a good advantage, and! again and again they so
about vainly searching for the old familiar hand that caressed him daily. The Burckles" bur/ai plot was formerly In section No. 2, and there the oolite, with the fidelity that has made the breed historic, often found his way. In a abort time he, too, was dead This devotion that even death could not not daunt nor diminish so touched the family, that it was decided to reproduce the dog in statuary. So there the faithful collie stands in lUe-like attitude, steadily gaxing at the last resting-place of all that waa mortal of his master. Proud of the Indiana.
