Checkered History.
Although Evelyn was right in claim

pusses tho splendid picture which
meets the eyo from tho terrace; at

like a Bllvor thread through the gapB
In a foreground of trees. Tho houso
has had an unusually checkered his
tory. Thero does not Beeni to havo
been any building on tho site until It
wns bought by George Vllllers, second
duke of Hucklngham, some tlmo nfter
the restoration. The architect was
Captain Wynne, or Wlnde. a nntive of
Holland and a pupil .of Kir Balthazar
Gorbler. Ho was a man of considera
ble ability, and Is, perhaps, best re
niombored now for his design of New
castle houso, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
which remains, though somewhat al
tered. Very little In known of
Wynne, lie muBt havo been a friend
of Samuol Popys, for he received) a

spent much on building "in that noro
of architecture which Cicero calls In
Kiinno Bubstructloncs." Unfortunately,
Fairfax, the author of tho only con
temporary biography of the duke,
gives no details of his architectural
employments. The work nt Cliveden
wns begun nbout IGlifi, nnd among the
state papcts there is a slguillcant
warrant dated Juno 21, 1C77. Tho
duke wbb then a prisoner In the tow
er and hnd permission to go to Cllvo

to tnko order about carrying on some

Stately Structure
The year 1795 proved disastrous for
Cliveden, for on May 20 It was almost
'wholly consumed by fire, with thu ex.
ceptlon, wo may well suppose, of the
"insane bubstructlones." In 1821
tho estato was bought by Sir Gcorgo
W'nrrendor, who rebuilt tho Iioubo. In
1810 It again chnngod hands, nnd be

ills executed design Is reminiscent
of those stately structures, and ills ac

Parallel with the terrace front In a

piers nnd stone seats at regular Inter

Villa at Home. The carving of the
stonework Is admirably done, and
represents the rich Itnllan work of
the seventeenth century nt Its best.
It is at once rich and rellned, showing
a brilliant fancy at yet unspoilt by
lococo extravagances. The masks
spouting freshness Into the curved
basins, the moldlngB of tho top of tho
parapet, and tho reliefs on the ped
estals are alike worthy of tho superb
gardens for which they were con
ceived. Itecent pictures of that great
garden still show the balustrades, but
they are copies. It should bo added

TURN GF THE PI6E
Pardoned Convict Breaks His
Good Resolutions, but Is
Saved by Dying Woman.
By FRANK F.ILSON.
"Come along, 752," said tho head
warder cheerfully, clapping an enorm
ous hand upon tho young man's shoul
der. "The chief wants to say good
byo to you."
The convict stepped out of bin coll
and followed the head warder obed
iently. Threo years of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions, to
demand no reasons He hardly dared
to hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition.
"'Tcntlon! Eyes front!" said the
head warder mechanically, and the
convict mechanically obeyed. But the
governor Btrctched out his hand nnd
took tho convict's In n hearty clasp.
"The board of pardons has granted
you your freedom, Grnves," he said.
"I Blrongly recommended It at the
last monthly meeting. I know thnt
you will run straight In future. If you
shouldn't, remember that the dishonor
and Bhnme will be mine, nnd It will
be Just s" niuch harder for the rest of
us. Ileies a letter from your mother
In Mapleton," he added, handing tho
mlsslvo to tho prisoner.
Craves road It and the governor
watched hlin curiously. The young
fellow had Impressed him favorably
ever since ho had entered the penlten
tlary threo yenrs before to serve a llrst
sentence for forgery. He had been n
model prisoner: but ho Boomed curi
ously hard. Even now ho Boomed
unaffected cither by tho letter or by
his release He folded the) missive
and put It In the handkerchief pocket
of his Bcrge tunic.
"Yon. sir, I'll run straight In future."
he nnswered.
"Good," answered tho governor.
"And my advice to you Is, go homo to
your mother. You have nbout thirty
Bevcn dollars coming to you. Go
homo, faco the world In your homo
town, be a mnn and begin your life
anew. You will And people kinder
than you Imagine. Good morning."
lie grasped tho prisoner's hand
again and dismissed him Graves
wont out. Subdued and deferential
though ho seemed, he remained total
ly unmoved. Tho governor shook his
head as he watched hint pass through
the doorway.
As a matter of fact, Philip GravcB
was deeply moved, but for all that he
had not the least intention of return
ing homo. During his period of Im
prisonment he had been thoroughly
Initiated Into the possibilities of
crime by his fellow convicts. He
woull hnve liked to re-establish him
self In the favor of his fellow citizens,
but the Idea seemed laughable. His
old mother In Mapleton was doubtless
able to exist without him; his Bisters
held good positions and could take
care of her. He took tho train to tho
capital and spent his loney In two
days' of riotous living.
Tho second evening found him pen
niless. It was cold and dismally wet,
and tho long tramp through tho dismal
suburbs had not raised his spirits. He
sat down on the sidewalk and burled
his head in his hands. That was tho
llrst time he had ever seriously consid
ered tho future
"Forglng's a mutt's game," one of
the other prisoners had told him Boon
nfter he was brought to tho jail.
"Take my tip, lad, cracking a crlb'B
the only thing worth while. Why. nil
you've got to do Is to walk In after
tho lights aro out, tako your pick, and
walk out ugaln. But nay, don't carry
a gun, for that don't pay. Just trust
to your legs If you have to get nway
quick." .
A middle-aged mnn In a well-made
suit, and bearing nil the marks of
prosperity, hurried by, not casting a
glance nt tho cx-convlct nt his feet.
Graves roso nnd followed him. At tho
end of the street was a long country
lane, with finely-built, scattered houses
lining it, ench In Its gnrden. Tho mnn
turned Into one nnd let himself Into
the homo with n key. Graves watched
him. Then he felt in his pockets. At
tho bottom of one, hitherto overlooked
by him, was a dime. Graves knew
where ho could got all tho whisky ho
wanted for a dime If he chose the
time when the bartender was not
looking his way. He went there.
"Take your fill, boy," said tho bar
tender good-nnturedly, looking round
Just nt tho least appropriate tlmo. "I
guess you need It on a night llko this.
'Jinvos tossed off tho flory liquid,
set down tho glaBB, and went out.
He walked the streets until his head
swam from tho liquor. It was very
dark and tho rain fell steadily. Graves
was wet to the skin. Ho walked nn
Immeasurable time, until nt last, look
ing up, ho saw tho house Into which
tho prosperous man had entered.
A llamo of nngcr burned In his
heart, hotter than the flro In his brains.
Good resolutions! What wero they
for such an he? They wero fpr the
rich, for those who could afford to
keep the laws! He was no fool to bo
bound by such a codo.
Ho crept up tho garden, f,elt a lower
window, and found that ho could raise
it. A minuto later ho waB groping In
side a dining room.
Cautiously ho struck and lit a
match. Then ho gnspod in astonish
ment. For on the buffet, carelessly
laid out, was a galnxy of silver plate.
That central piece that flat tray,
which ho could put undor his coat
nnd walk away with, must bo worth
a couplo of hundred dollars alone!
He would tnko It on his way out. He
opened the door and crept upstairs.
There wero two rooms at the bead
wn,, -loflPil- thi second door was onen
was cloned; the second door was open.
and inside, by the light of the lowered
gas Jet, Graves could seo a table
strown with rlngM. He crept In and
Btood staring at them. Thero were near
ly a dozen of them diamond, pearl,
sapphire, cat's eye, flashing emeralds
and rubles. It was tho dressing table
of some wealthy woman who. . . .
There wns somebody In tho bed!
An old, v.hltc-hnlrcd woman who lay1
there, hardly breathing, flat, with
white handa picking nt the bod coverBl
Graves snatched up n handful of tho
baubles and turned. Suddenly two
powerful arms caught him ns In n vlao
nnd ho looked up Into the face of the
middle-aged man.
"Come outside, you you dog!"
whispered the other. "Caught In the
net, yo.i dirty biieak-thlef! Ict mo
look at your faco! So you would rob
a djlng woman, would you? I'm go
ing to strip the hide off ou before I
call the police."
"I didn't know" Graves babbled.
A fecblo volco from tho sick bed
made both start.
"John!" whispered tho Blck woman.
"John! it's you, dear John! I knew
oti would como homo!"
Tho captor and tho captive stood
motlonloBs, thrilled by tho pity in tho
volco. ' ' ,
"John, won't you come hero and kiss
your old mother?" pleaded the voice.
"I knew thnt I should live to see you
again."
Tho middle-aged man whispered Into
the ear of tho thief.
"Her son was. killed In an automo
bile accident last week. Now's your
chance. I'll let you go if "
"You're coming to me, aren't you.
John?"
"Yes," muttered the thief, nnd with
unsteady footsteps ho staggered to
ward the bed, found It, nnd Bank down
upon n chair. He felt tho hand of
the old woman close upon his.
"Are you John? Aro you my boyt
1 cannot see. Tell me that you aro
John," tho old womnn whispered.
"Yes, I nm John," the convict whis
pered back.
Sho said no moro for a while but
seemed to doze. Gently, by nlmost
Imperceptible degrees, tho mnn In tho
room lowered the gns light till it was
only a little twinkling flamo In tho
darkness. And the thief sat motion
less, his hand held tightly In the light
clnsp of the dying woman.
After a long tlmo nhe roused her
self. "Johnny," alio whispered, "turn
mo bo that I can put my lips to :'our
ear" And the convict turned the
shrunken old body reverently, nnd
with n now and strange fearlessness.
Then tho old woman spoke ngnln, nnd
so low nnd weak were her tones that
ho could only grasp them by bending
his ear till her lips touched It.
"Johnny," she paid. "I want you to
bo a good boy after I am gono. 1
want you to bo good for your old
mother's sake, Johnny. There's no
body will ever love you as I have dono
nobody In tho wholo world. You'vo
been wild. Johnny, dear, and peoplo
havo sold hard things about you and
called you hard names, but I knew
that you wero my boy Johnny, my
good boy, nnd that you wero good at
heart. Promise mo you'll always run
Btralght, Johnny!"
Graven promised.
"Then I cnir go In peace, Johnny,
dear. Kiss me." Tho dying woman
half raised herself and Graven took
her In his arms and pressed his lips
reverently to her forehead. And not
daring to stir, ho remained thus hair
through tho night.
Then longer till tho gray light be
gan to Btenl through tho shutters,
vying with tho low glow of the gns.
Tho outlines of tho room became ap
parent, tho objects visible. GraveB
had almost fallen asleep when tho
man touched him on tho shoulder and
pointed
Tho vital fires had burned them
selves out; gently nnd Imperceptibly
the life had faded out of the old frame.
Tho dead woman's plncid bmllo
scorned like a benediction.
GraveB irose up. "I'm ready now,"
ho Bold to tho man.
"Go!" answered tho man, pointing
to the door; and the ex-convlct shuf
fled along the carpet, bis face work
ing, his checks stained with tears.
He halted at tho door, hesitated, and
shuffled back again. Ho wont up to
tho man.
"I don't want to go," ho muttered.
"I wnnt you to call tho police. Say,"
ho went on, in Impassioned accents,
"I've got nn old mother llko that In
Mapleton, nnd she's nlivo and wants
mo to como home. Do you think If I
went that I could over bocomo a man
again? I've been In prison threo
years."
Tho man's hand fell on his shoulder.
just na tno nead warder's had fallen.
He seemed sorry for him; It was odd,
to como to think of It, how kind men
wero to one another.
"My dear fellow, I bellovo that Pro
vldenco sent you hero Providence,
which Is only another namo for God,"
said tho man. "Go back and faco tho
world anew In your homo town."
Why, that was JubI whut tho gov
ernor had said!
Ho held his hand out nnd the other
took It and grnsped It wurmly. Sud
denly GraveBtremembered. Ho pulled
out from his rocket a handful of
shimmering rings. Ho placed thorn
upon tho dressing tablo nnd walked
lightly out of tho room. Ho did not
shuffle now, for his heart wns filled
with lightness and for tho first tlmo
In yenrB he wns at peace.
"I'm going homo!" ho murmured.
