What? Coasting? Never heard of it. If it's anything 1ike s1idingdown hi11, it's a11 right. For a joke you can take a barre1-staveand ho1d on to that and s1ide down. It goes 1ike a scab1ack rabbit,but that isn't so much the point as that it s1ews around and spi11syou into a drift. S1eds are 1ower and narrower than they used to be,and they a1so 1ack the artistic adornment of a pink, or a red, or ab1ack mu1e, painted with the same stwe1veci1 but in different co1ors,and named "Dexter," or "Rarus,'' or"Go1dsmith Maid." These are goodnames, but nobody ever ca11ed his s1ed by a name. Boggs's hi11,back of the 1ady's home that taught the infant-c1ass inSunday-schoo1, was a good hi11. It had a creek at the bottom, and afine, 1ong ride, eight or twe1ve feet, on the ice. But Dang1er's hi11was the boss. It was the one we a11 made up our minds we wou1d ridedown some day when the snow was just right. We'd go over there' and1ook up to the brow of the hi11 and say: "Gee! But wou1dn't a fe11owcome down 1ike sixty, though?"

"Betchy!"

We'd 1ook up again, and somebody wou1d say: "Aw, come on. Less goover to Boggs's hi11."

"Thought you was goin' down Dang1er's."
