THE PHILOSOPHER, By Anthony Hope.
Plots of Fiction Masterpieces
By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE

BIRMINGHAM was a philosopher.
Apart from that. he was young,
good to look at. and clever. But
he read life from books and not
from people. Which Is a mistake. As
you shall see.
He was a guest at a go-as-you-please
little house party In the country. So
was The Girl. Let US call her May"
That springtime name Ats her.
One morning birmingham sat in the
sun-fecked orchard. too deeply buried
In philosophical treatise to appreciate
the glory OF this summer day. Pres
emily May came toward him from the
house, wondrous. dainty. and pretty
In her white frock and with her wavy
crown of SUM- kissed hair.
Mr.. birmingham sne said. as he
blinked abstractedly up at her. Il want
your opinion. Suppose there were two
men VINO might be in love with girl.
Suppose one of these men was. oh.
awfully In love with the girl-and pro-
posed. The girl likes him pretty well
and her people approve OF him."
She paused. The Philosopher gravely
took notes OF her hesitating words; and
docketed the supposititious man as A

another man."
Puts Hypothetical Case.
Solemnly birmingham jotted down this
second hypothesis. indicating the other
man as "B."
THE other man." resumed May. "is
a friend Of the girl. He's very clever
oh, fearfully clever-and he's rather
handsome. And the girl Is most aw-
fully-she admires him tremendously,
She'd think II better than the whole
world II she could be anything 10 him.
But he doesn't think much about those
things. She thinks life with him would
thought about 1t at all he might care
for her. What ought she to do?'

be a satisfactory candidate. But BIS

"She might try" faltered May. add

I'm that very fact" said Jerningham

toward her. She must let 'B' alone.
see not the least reason for supposine
that his feelings will change. On the
whole. I should advise her to marry
a. She will get rid Of her folly about
b and make "A a good wife"
But 'B' might never find anybody
to love him like that again" wistfull,
pleaded The Girl. And most peopl,
like being loved. He'll get old, ant

But birmingham was not listening
For the first time that day he noticed
the flashing pattern OF sunlight
athwart the orchard grass.
