now awaiting tho orders from Washington
telling him to make way for his successor.
Mr.. Cnderhill was born in Bronxvillo In
1908, and ho has never been away from that
village for moro than six weeks at n time.
When he went away he generally made visits
to relatives In but hess county, and he has
never been outside OF New York State.
He lives ia n little old. fashioned two-story
frame house, not more than fifty yards nrrth
of the new station of the New York and 1lnr-
lem Railroad. The house was built In 1874.
and Mr.. Underhlll personally oarted all of the
lumber used in its construction from Dobbs

from the neighborinE woods, and sawed the
logs into planks in his fathers eawmill. Tn

Mr.. Underhill was 10 years old when he
was graduated from a little country public
school which stood by itself half a mile from
his fathers homo.
After graduation Mr.. Underhill started to
work In his father'sTTgrist and saw mill, in
which he continued for twenty years.
AS a young man he was q great sportsman,
and loved nothing better than his rod. his gun,
and his horse. Every morning 1t was his GUS
tom to go out during the trout season and
bring home Il mess of trout, which abounded
in all the neighboring strea ms, to be cooked by
his mother for breakfast. He was q good shot,
and when he did not go fishing he would take
his gun. and with his dog he would start out
for a couple OF hours hunting. At the ex-
piratfon of tho two hours he was almost al.
ways home again with a big bag. cartridges,
quail, woodcock. and squirrels were 40 plenti-
full In those days that they could almost he
