PIG FRIGHTFULNESS 



and concession line, but not a trace oj her could be 

 found. It was fully four hours later that some one 

 went to the granary and she was discovered. The 

 granary looked like the scene of a Hun raid. Bea- 

 trice's frightfulness was astounding. She had torn 

 open bags of beans, shorts, bran, chop-feed and cot- 

 ton-seed meal. Apparently she had sampled every- 

 thing in the granary and was so full that she couldn't 

 grunt. When kicked out she gave a little protest- 

 ing squeal, but she had an extra curl in her tail that 

 showed how happy she was. She was so full that we 

 were afraid to give her the usual ration of swill for 

 fear she would swell up and burst. But there have 

 been no evil effects, and when I go to the barnyard 

 she gets under my feet and grunts with friendly im- 

 pudence. But it is likely to be some time before 

 she finds an open door again. We have had our 

 lesson.
