Enoch and Ezra's First Smoke (1913)
Enoch and Ezra were just plain, everyday boys, who lived where all boys ought to live, in the country. One day they decided to go fishing, and since there were certain "chores" which yet remained unattended to, they slipped off quietly without advising their mother of their intentions. On their way to the fishing grounds they happened upon a camp of gypsies, and stood watching the strange men and women. What particularly appealed to them was the manner with which the men puffed at their long pipes. The souls of Enoch and Ezra were filled with wild yearnings. The boys dropped their fishing rods on the spot, raced home, and abstracted their father's pipe from the cupboard in the kitchen. Then, they retired behind the woodshed and blew smoke through their noses like veterans. Meanwhile, the boys' father had been hunting high and low for them. He knew their vagrant habits and was indignant rather than alarmed, until he came upon two gypsies beside the stream, fishing with his sons' fishing rods. The enraged father instantly jumped at the conclusion that the gypsies had either kidnapped or murdered his sons, and an extremely vivid series of events followed in remarkably short order. The dramatic strain had just reached its climax when the situation was cleared by the discovery of two very sick young men behind the woodhouse.
