Abstract
We show that the recent proposal to describe the baryon in the large number of the color limit as a quantum Hall droplet can be understood as a chiral bag in a ()-dimensional strip using the Cheshire Cat principle. For a small bag radius, the bag reduces to a vortex line which is the smile of the cat with flowing gapless quarks all spinning in the same direction. The disk enclosed by the smile is described by a topological field theory due to the Callan-Harvey anomaly outflow. The chiral bag naturally carries the unit baryon number and spin . The generalization to arbitrary is discussed.
