vent Where Nuns Had Masked 1t.
A Paris convent would appear the
most unlikely Of places to shelter a
masterpiece by Clodion. but most Inn
portant work by the 18th century sculp-
tor, whose inspiration was so pronOunc-
edly pagan, has been brought to light
in convent In the Latin quarter. Its
history is rather curious. The building
in which the Clodion has remained un-
appreciated and In which indeed Its
presence has been resented for over a
century, was not originally intended to
serve as convent. 1t was constructed
by Brougniart for Princess Louise Of
Conde and CALAMITY decorated by sun
dry of the first artists of the day, Clio
dion included, who executed bas re-
lief of very considerable dimensions
representing number Of fawns,
nymphs and Cupids at play. 1t fell
out that destiny was unkind to Mile. de
Conde. She lost her heart to NJ. de la
Geryaisals, who was several years her
junior, and of no birth to espouse
lady of her rank. They exchanged some
very pretty love letters, which were
published not long ago by M. Paul
Violet, but the opposition to their mar
riage being insurmountable, the prin-
cess renounced the world, took the
vows. and became the Mother Superior
Of a community of Benedictine nuns
who took up their quarters in the new
ly erected palace. The Clodlon was en-
tombed. The expression is literally ac-

be pardoned. Still, but for an acCi-
dent the very existence Of the Clodion
might long have remained unsuspected.
| During the bombardment of Paris by

| by a shell, which brought down the
plaster wall and showed the bas re-
lief, happily without damaging 1t. The

A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
BT MARY Z. WILKINS.

kNY brother Lemuel married Me-
NA hitable Pierce when he was
quite along in years. Nobody
thought he'd ever get married at
a all, any more'n my brother Reu-
ben and Silas. The three had lived to-
gether and kept bachelors hall ever since
our mother died. / was married and
away from home long before she died.
l didn't know how they would get along
at first, but all of the boys had been used
to helpin' ma good deal, and they were
real handy, and when | asked If they
wasn't goin' to have housekeeper, they
wouldn't hear to it. They said they
wasn't goin' to have no strange women
round in mas place, nohow. So Silas
he took hold and did the washin' and
ironin, and Reuben did the sweepin', and
Lemuel he was the youngest, next to me,
did the cookin'. He could cook a dinner
equal to any woman, and his pies beat
mine. My husband said so, and had to
give in they did.
Well, they seemed to get on so nice, and
none of 'em had ever seemed to think
much about the girls, not even when they
was boys, that l must say | was aston
ished when Lemuel he up and got nar-
ried to Mehitable Pierce. She was a
little along in years, too, rather more so
than Lemuel, and dreadful smart piece.
She was good lookin' and she had prop
erty, but she was dreadful smart and up
an comm. | could never see how Lem
uel ever got the courage to ask her to
have him, he was always a kind of mild
spoken little fellow. Reuben he declar-
ed he didn't He vowed that Mehitable
asked him herself. He said he knew it,
for fact, and he said 1t with the tears
rollin' down his cheeks. Reuben was the
oldest and he'd always been terrible fond
of Lemuel. "That poor boy would never
have got in sech a fix eff that woman
hadn't up an asked him, an he didn't
have spunk enough to say no." said Reu-
ben, and he swallered hard.
Mehitable had nice house of her own
that her father left her, all furnished and
everything, so Of course Lemuel he went
TO live with her, and Mehitable's house
was pretty near where / lived. so | could
see everything that was goin' on. IL
want very long before I said to Han
nah Morse, my husbands old maid sis-
ter that lives with US and teaches school,
that | believed Lemuel was henpecked.
though | hadn't anythin' against Me
hitable.
Il don't see what else anybody that
married Mehitable Pierce would expect.
said Hannah. She spoke real sharp for
her. I've always kind of wondered if
Hannah would have had Lemuel If he'd
asked her. "well," said I, 81 hope poor
Lemuel will be happy. He's always
been such a good. mild, willin' boy that it
does seem a pity for him to be rode over
rough-shod. and have all the will be ever
did have trodden into the dust"

sight that dumfounded her. The
face was first like dream to her. II
seemed darker and wore more for
lorn look than when she had last seen
It. The man was barefooted and bare
headed and he had no coat. His feet
were a mass Of wounds, freshly made,
and she knew that he must have trav-
eled many miles over the sharp rocks
and through the sage brush, for his
pants legs at the bottom were worn
into shreds.
Again and again she watched him
ac he prepared and ate his meal. She
knew that she had seen him before,
but where? But when he prepared to
leave in the morning she recognized
him. He placed pair of the trapper's
old moccasins on his feet, after he
had wrapped them well, placed a bun
die of food in bag and then took an
old hat he found hanging on the wall.
when he placed the hat on his head, the
broad brlm shaded the face and cut
the profile down, making 1t recogniz-
able. II was Dan. Follett!
