(tarry far. » ,
' All at once the gentleman's ear was
struck by a strange noise falling upon
thequiet—quick and sharp. He listened;
it came from across the canon; and
turning, he saw to his horror. tearing
down the steep ascent at full gallop, a
pair of powerful horses attached to a
heavy wagon. such as the Mexicans use
to draw wood in.
. Down they came. straight in the path
up which the woman was driving. A
moment more and sudden destruction
would be upon her.
The gentleman opened his lips to cry
out. Half a mile of valley separated
him from the woman. He could only sit
frozen with horror, and with eyes glued
to the opposite hill awaiting the end.
The woman had stopped her team and
sag as if petrified. It was impossible tc
turn round or even to turn out. If shr
did nothing, it was because there wat
nothing to be done.
Suddenly. to his unutterable amaze
ment, the watcher saw the woman rise
deliberately in her seat. raise her arm
and fire. There was a flash. a puff of
smoke, a report. and simultaneously the
outer of the two frenzied horses stum-
. bled, fell and pitched headlong. dragging
his companion and the wagon over iutc
the gorge below.
All this had passed in a flash. The
watcher. stupefied and gasping. sat gaz-
ingat the valley.into the depths of which
the mad vision had disappeared.
Then he looked at the mountain oppo
site. The narrow road was perfectly
free, the air was as still as before. tilt
illence unbroken, and the team with the
BOlitary woman was quietly winding up
the road again.
The man. too. resumed his climb. but
with an indelible picture burnt in upon
his brain. Who the woman was he
never know. A pioneer and a mother
of pioneers. probably. whose frontier
life had made her familiar with danger
and swift in emergencies.
An instaut's indecision. the trembling
of a band, would have been fatal; but
both brain and hand were under absolute
control. In nine cases out of ten it is
not the danger which kills us. but we,

selves—Jay down our arms and succumb

but who are too good to be thrust into

almost a flavor of philanthropy about it.

But why do not the class of men for
whom the house is intended build such
a structure for themselves? Why, in-
deed, do not the working people of the
large cities unite on the co-operative
plan and establish neat and commodious
home clubhouses to live in with their
families. Rich men build Clubhouses on
theco operative plan. A stock company,
with shares at a given price, could be
formed, find savings of the men paid in
from week to week and the building
put up. When it was finished, the fam-
ilies could take possession of the apart-
ments, paying a rent certainly not great-
er than they now pay for the vile tene-
ment dens in which so many of them
are forced to live. The house should be
provided with baths, steam heat and
the comforts the rich man enjoys. The
rents could go to paying for the house
itself at first, and when that was done
the dividends could be divided among
the stockholders. This would not be a
difficult undertaking at all.

on Finding a House not. Which Io

III Career. ‘
Kr. James Kent. the great expounder
of American law, was the son of Moses
Kent and grandson of the Rev. Elisha
Kent, and was born in what is now the
village of Deaneshurg. in the town of
Southeast, Putnam county. N. Y.. July
31, 1768. This region of the country was
apart of the great patent granted to
Adolph Philipse. in 189‘. and Moses
Kent, the father of the learned Chancel-
lor. held a farm on a perpetual lease
from the Philipse family. .
His grandfather. the Rev. Elisha
Kent, came from Sufiield. Conn, where
he was born in 1703. He wire for many
years the pastor of the church in South-
east. aud a very modest tombstone in a
burying ground at Donnesburg. not far
from the church which was the scene
of his earthly labors, bears this inscrip-
tion:
“In memory of Rev. Elisha Kent. who
died in July. 1776, in the seventy-third
year of his age. Blessed are the dead
who died in the Lord."
Moss Kent. the father of the Chancel-
lor. died in 1794. He had four sisters.
one of whom married John Kane. and
was the great grandmother of Dr.
Elisha Kent Kane. the famous Arctic
explorer.
The boyhood of the Chancellor was
spent on his father’s farm. near the east
branch of Crotou River. and to the day
of his death the great lawyer felt the
deepest interest in that romantic region
where he had passed so many days.
When an old man he made a visit to his
birthplace in company with Dr. Daniel
Reed. who describes the following
scene: '
"The first thing the Chancellor did
after entering the house was to go to a
certain room and say:
“ ‘1 want to crawl under the bed and
put my hand in a mouse hole where
Brother Moss and l aumsml ourselves in
watching for a mouse when we were
boys.’
”And suitirig the action to the word
down dropped the learned and dignified
(‘hancellor of New York. and not with-
out difficulty accomplished the feat that
hurl pleasedhis boyish heart long years
before."
In 1773 the future judge was sent to a
Latin school in Dunbnry. and entered
Yale college in 1777. ()wing to the
invasion of the British troops in Hill the
college was broken up and the students
disperscd. At that timeln- met with a
copy of “Blackstone‘s (‘oinniciitaries."
which so excited his admiration thathe '
resolved to be. a lawyer. and after study-
ing under the famous Judge Egbert
Benson was admitted to the bar in 1735.
He first began practice in Ponghkeepsie.
but a few yours later removed to New
York, where he. found a field worthy of
his great talent. In succession he held
the offices of Master in (‘hnm-ory. mem-
ber of Legislature and (‘hief Justice of
the Supreme (‘ourt.
In ltd-l he was appointed ('haucellor
and his various and learned decisions
have given a lasting honor to his name.
After retiring from office lie-commenced
the great work which has given him a
dcnthloss fume.
In 1823* appeared the first volume of
his "(‘omnn-utarieson Amcricuu Law."
