1t is unusual that an Indian should
be born in one of the wealthiest fam
lilies in New York.
Yet 1t happened.
A traveller to the city of Rrantford,
Ont, will find within few miles of
the town a little church built for the
Indians by King George the Third
and close about it an old cemetery
in which rests the dust of the last
Of the great IroquoiS warriors and
chiefs In a tomb built of stone, which
Is green with age and moss. lies
Thayendanegea, greatest of all the Mo-
hawks, and more commonly known as
Joseph Brant Readers of the ro-
nance as we'll as the lact Of history,
may recall the day wien Sir William
Johnson, the kings right arm in the
Colonies, first saw Thayendanegeas
sister. He was attending a muster Of
his county militia when an officer
came galloping by with beautiful
Indian girl of sixteen riding laughing
ly behind him. Sir William. whose
wife had recently died. caught a vision
of lovely dark eyes and of flowing
black hair streaming in a cloud be-
hind a form of rare symmetry and
grace, and in that moment the heart
of the lonely and susceptible widower
was smitten so deeply that evening
found Molly Brant in Johnson castle,
where she remained thencefOrth it's
mistress and the idol OF its proprietor
Geography and history skip hun
dred and thirty,fve years after this
event until they arrive at the birth of
the Indian boy on Fifth avenue.
When James kirke married Molly
Craddock neither thought very much
about the strain of indian blood in
Moly's veins. except that Molly was
always secretly proud Of it. Kirke
was not the kind of man to boast of
ancestors. or even to think about
them, for he had one consuming am
billion from the beginning, and that
was to pyramid his Inherited millions
into ever-increasing financial power
He became so completely absorbed In
this task that after a few years Molly
was left very largely to whatever
dreams she may have had of the pie
turesque and romantic past. and TO an
absorbing love for her young son Paul,
She told him many of the pretty
stories and some of the tragic ones
which deeds had written in the lives
of their ancestors and twice she went
with him to the ancient burial place
near Brantford and sat beside the
tomb of Thayendanegea, and tried to
make him see as clearly as herself the
stirring days when Molly Grant came
with tresses flying before Sir William
Johnson
From the hour Paul opened his eyes
to the light of life be had in him the
soul of an Indian. After hundred
and thirty.five years the blood of the
lovely Molly Brant mad come into its
own. One would not have guessed il
from the boys physical appearance.

 ing Completion

Contractors employed by the city water department to lay the new water mains are completing the laying of the 16-inch main from the intersec- tion of Main and Front streets, east on Front street to Oak street. When this section is finished they will be- gin the last section of the work called for in the contract.
 Crossing the intersection of Main street trench will be dug on Pom fret street, down the hill and across the tailraee leading to the old Man hasset mill. Then it will continue west to the Memorial Bridge For tunately when this bridge was built q pipe was installed in anticipation of the work now being done by the water department. This will eliminate a difficult job at this particular spot.
 Having crossed 10 the west side of the river two trenches of the Put nam Woolen Company will have to be crossed. This will be difficult situa- tion and will take some time. The completed stretch will end at the in- tersectaon of Church and Pomfret streets. It is anticipated that it will be month before the entire contract is carried out.

 GARDEN WINS PRIZE

Allen Clark, steadily forging ahead to leading place in American sculp- ture, was announced yesterday as the winner of the Mrs. Julius Rosenwald prize of $500 awarded by the Grand Central Galleries of New York City annually to American artists and sculptures.
 The announcement of the award of the prize to Mir. Clark is of great local interest as the study referred to, which has been on exhibit in the Grand Central galleries for some months past, was made for the com pieted white marble statue of an Oriental figure which now stands in the gardens of Dr. and Mrs. T. Nor ris Murray in Pomfret. The statue was first seen by the public shortly after it had been set in place on the terrace of the estate when the gardens were opened for the benefit of the Nurses Home, Day KimbalI Hospital, in July last.
