'oothache and its long hours in the
dentists chairs, The Boy sometimes
thinks that if he had his life TO live
over again, and could not go through it
without teeth, he would prefer not to
be born at all.
1t had rather amused The Boy, in
his middle age, to learn of the impress
sion he made upon Red Hook in his
extreme youth. Bob, as has been
shown, associates him with little cart,
and with good part of the concord of
sweet sounds. One old friend remem-
bers nothing but his phenomenal cspac-
ity for the consumption of chicken pot
pie. Another old friend can recall the
sorupulously clean white duck suits he
wore Of afternoons, and also the blue.
checked long aprons he was forced to
wear in the mornings; both of them
exceedingly distasteful to The Boy, be-
cause the apron was girls garment,
and because the duck-suit meant
dress-up," and only the mildest of
genteel play; while Bob's sister dwells
chiefly now upon a wonderful valen-
tine The Boy sent once to Zillah Crane.
1t was 30 large that it bad to have an
especial envelope made to tit it; and it
was so magnificent, and so delicate,
that Notwithstanding the envelope, it
came in box of its own. 1t had &C.
tual lace, and pinkish Cupids reclining
on light-blue clouds; and in the center
Of all was compressible bird-cage,
which, when it was pulled out, like an
accordion, displayed not dove merely
but a plain gold ring-a real ring,
made of real gold. Nothing like
1t had ever been seen before in all
Duchess county; and it was seen
and envied by every girl of Zilah's
age between Rhinebeck and Tivoli, be-
tween Barrytown and Pine Plains.
The Boy did an extensive business
in the valentine line, in the days when
February Fourteenth meant much more
to boys than it does now. He sent sem
timental valentines to Phoebe Hawkins,
and comic valentines to his Uncle
John, both of them written anony-
mously, and both directed in a dis
guised hand. But both recipients al
ways knew from whom they came; and 4,
in all probability, neither of them was
