The Fence
And After
A Man and a Girl and
Philosophy
By BARRY PRESTON

Across the fields, through the
golden sunshine of the Indian sum-
mer morning, strobe Arthur Gray,
a look of absorbed abstraction upon
his intellectual brow and three
heavy tones of German philosophy
beneath his arms.
Behind him on the terrace Mrs.
Renwick and her husband watched
his retreat. Mrs. Renwick'S face
was cloudcd by an impatient frown.
Tom Renwick was grinning sardon-
ically.
Il can't understand it," Mrs. Rem
wick complained. '1 invited all
these young people solely on his ac-
count. l picked out only the deep
ones of our acquaintance, the Tay-
lor girls and Miss Frayne and Char
lotte Brand.
"They know all about the ego
and the subconscious self and all
that sort of thing. They could talk
it to him by the hour. And what
does he do? Goes off every morn
ing with his musty books and stays
all day by himself. I call it down.
right rudeness in him"
Her big, easy going, happy.-go-
lucky husband laughed. My dear
Agatha" said he, 'this comes of
harboring a genius in our midst, q
genius we can never hope to under
stand. Now, if he could talk horse
or shoot or get a bit more speed
out of a road car than it was ever
intended to show we could give him
the time Of his life. But philoso-
pher, dropped here among our un-
intellectual selves-dear heavensP
He threw out his hands in ges-
ture of depreciation and made a
WY face.
"But he is coming man." Mrs.
Renwick began.
Tom Renwick's grin broadened.
'He seems to be a going man
just at present." he remarked, with
a bob of his head in the direction OF
the stoop shouldered figure trudg-
ing across the fields. otis deser-
ton, pure and simple. Your intel
lectual maidens corralled here must
evidently philosophize without your
lion to inspire them.
"Come on! Let's round 'em up
and give 'em a whirl in the road
cars up to the top Of Bald hill and
back. That will take their minds
up for the time being at least"
"It's the last time I'll ever try
to entertain a genius" Mrs. Rem
wick declared fatty, "even If the
said genius is my cousin and has
done the family proud"
"Amen! Pm with you there"
said Tom heartily as he turned from
the terrace and strode off toward
the garage.
In the meantime Arthur Gray,
quite oblivious to this criticism OF
his actions, tramped down the field
climbed a stone wall into an or
chard, where the trees were deep
laden with their wealth of fruit,
and, selecting a corner where the
mottled shadows were most invlt-
ing, settled himself comfortably on
the ground, opened one of the pom,
derous volumes and was soon lost
in the abstruse speculations Of its
author.
He read on in absorbed fashion.
