First
Thlllp Anson in a boy of IS years, of
fine. education and good breeding, hut tin
orphan and miserably poor.
The story opens with the death of his
mother-
Rich relative have dcacrted the' family
In their hour of need, nnd when his
mother's death come Philip is In des
pair. He looks,ovor his mother's leltcin
nnd finds that he Is rotated to Kir Thlllp
MoilunC. A few days later a tcrrlfl--thunderstorm
brews over London. At
the height of the storm a flash of light
ning kbits a team attached to n roacn
standing In front of n West Knd man
sion l'hlllp. who lins become a newsboy,
rescues a sir) from the carriage Just be
fore It turns over. A man with the girl
trips over l'hlllp In his excitement. Ho
cuffs the boy and calls n poll:cman. The
clrl pleads for l'hlllp and ho Is allowed
to go after learning that the man who
Lord Vanstone. l'hlllp then determines
to commit suicide. Ho borrows a piece of
rope from O'llrlen, a ship chandler, anil
Koes to his miserable dwelling In John
son's mews.
Just as lie is about to hang himself u
meleor flashes by tho window" nnd
crashes Into the flagstones In the yard.
The boy takes this as a sign from
heaven not to kill himself. Ho then boos
to the yard to look at the metoor. Philip
picks up several curlous-looklng bits if
tho meteor and shows them to O'llrlen.
The latter advises him to tal.o them to a
Jeweller's. Ho visits n Mr. Wilson, who
tellsf him that the pieces are meteoric
diamonds worth an Immense fortune.
Wilson sends him to a diamond dealer
named Isaaesteln. He rocs Into a res
taurant and asks the proprietor to trust
him for a men!. The man refuses,- but
Mr. Judd, a grocer, offers to pay tho
hill, l'hlllp cats his fill and promises to
reward tho grocer later. He tells Isaae
steln Mr. Wilson sent him. At the pollen
station he gives his name as l'hlllp Mor
land. Isaaesteln ndmlU the diamonds
could not have been stolon as no such
collection of stones ever existed. He Is
then taken Into court. Isaaesteln tella
(he Judge, that the Clamonds are worth
0, pounds (ir,O00).

At last tho magistrate seemed to mako
P his mind to a definite course of ac
tion. "There Is only one person present." he
said, "who can throw light on this ex
traordinary case, and that Is tho boy
himself.'' t
He looked at Philip and all eyes quickly
turned toward the thin, ragged figure
standing upright against tho rail that
shut him off from the well of tho court.
The professional people present noted that
tho magistrate did not allude to the
fttranga-looklng youth as "the prisoner."
What was going to happen? Was this
destitute urchin going to leave tho court
with diamonds In Ills pocket worth UO.O00T
Oddly enough no one paid heed to Philip's
boast tha he owned fur more than that
amount. It was not he, but his packet of
diamonds that evoked wonder. And had
not Isaaesteln. the great merchant and
expert, appraised them openly? Was It
r'osslbo that those dirty-white pebbles
could be endowed with such potentiality?
Fifty thousand pounds! There were men
In the room and not confined to the un
washed, whoso palates dried and tongues
swelled at the notion.

-'how hope to prevail asalnst the majesty

was a sour und stubborn nature, though
hardly molded as yet In rigid lines. He
threw back his head and tightened his
lips. He would cling to his anonymity
to tho bitter end, no matter what tho

would he condescend to adopt a subter

ON THE MONDAY FOLLOW'
INQ THE REMAND, A LADY
SAT AT BREAKFAST IN A
SELECT WE8T END HOTEL,
AND LANGUIDLY PERUSED
THE RECORD OF THE CASE
UNTIL HER EYE CAUGHT
THE WORDS OF "PHILIP
MORLAND." THEN HER AIR

"Then what Is your name?"
"I will not tell you sir. I menn no dis
respect, but the fact that t am treated
as a criminal merely 'because I wish to
dispose of my property warns wo of what
I may expect If I state publicly who I
am nnd where I live."
For tho first tlmo the magistrate heard
tlto correct nr.d well-modulnled flow of
Philips speech. If anything It made more
dense the mist through which ho was
trying to grope his way. .
"What do you menn?' ho asked.
"I mean that If I state who I am I
will be robbed nnd swindled by all With
whom I conio in contact. I liavo starved;
I have been beaten for trying to earn a
living. 1 was struck last night for sav
ing a girl's life. I was arrested and
dragged through the streets, handcuffed,
this morning, because I -went openly to n
dealer to sell a portion to sell some of
my diamonds. I will take no more risks.
You may Imprison me, but you cannot
force me to apeak. It you aro a fair man,
yqu will give mo back my diamonds and
let me go free."
The outburst fairly electrified the court.
Phillip could not have adopted' a more
domineering tone were he the governor
of tho Hank of England, charged with
passing a counterfeit half-crown. Tho
magistrate was as surprised as any.
"I do not wish to nrgue with you," he
said, quietly; "nor do- I expect you to
commit yourself In any way. Dut yoi
must surely see that for a poverty-
stricken boy to be found In possession of
gems of great marketable value Is a
circumstance that demands Inquiry, how
ever honest and er well bred you may
be,"
The only witness against me has said
that the diamonds could not have been
stolen." .cried Philip, now thoroughly
aroused, "aiia ready for any war of wits.
"Quito true.' The Inference la. that you
havo discovered a meteoric deposit of
diamonds."'
"I have. Home-not all are before you."
A tremor shook the court. Isaaesteln
awal!owedsomethlng, and his head sank
more deeply below his shoulders.',,
"Then I tak'o It that you will noUnform
me of the locality of this deposit?"
"Yes." ,
"And you think that by disclosing your
name una 'address you will reveal that
locality?" ;.
Philip grow red.
"Js It fair.". ho unlit with a ouriniiu ill
ness lii liis tono. "that a man of. your age
should uie hs position and knowledge to
try to trip a boy who la brought before
you on a false charge?"
j! It 'was-the magistrate's turn to look
jisiigiuiyiconfUHed. There was some as
jierlty In hls:reply.
"1 am not endeavoring to trip you, but
rather." to help you to free yourself from
n difficult position. However.-do I under
staiid that you refuse to answer any que

"I do." The young voice rang through
he building with an, amazing tferceness,
Mr. Abingdon bent over the big book' in
frortt pf hint and scribbled something.
'I'Tteman'dcd'for a week." he muttered
. "Downstairs." growled the court Jailer,
and Philip disappear from sight. The
magistrate was Jeft gating a the packet
of diamonds, and he called Isaacstoln. tho

O Imaginary Objections
JJy UEATItlCK FAIHKAX.
Start out a boy alone on an .errand,
and when he reaches his destination three
blocks away he la accompanied by seven
boys and a dog.
This Interruption to his purpose, and
time results In numberless rebukes from
his mother and sisters, who scream at
him when ho leaves: "Now go quickly,
and don't stop to pick up every boy ypu
see on the way."
But do they, In the greater wisdom of
their years, conduct their affairs with
any greater economy of tlmo? "With no
desire to excuse tho boy," I claim they do
not. On tho contrary, they aro more
wasteful.
The boy gives a whistle and his boy
friend comes out Tcady tor tho expedi
tion.' He never has to wait while his
friend changes his clothes or makes a
final dab with a powder rag, and though
every boy is prodigal of time none of
this waste can be charged to the cm ling
Iron.
Few girls go shopping or calling or
walking alone. "I w-IU see." said the
gtrl who starts out at i, "If Mary can go
wlth'me."
Mar)' can go and It is 3 when she Is
ready. ' "Ltt -us go to thn park," Mary
may suggest. "I can't," returns the first
girl, "for the reason that I promised
Alice I would let her know the next
time I went, so she could go. It I go
without her she will be offended."
Obligation after obligation, promise
after promise, to relatives, friends, mere
acquaintances; alt made In a spirit of
graclousness, but so many and, so con
flicting that every girl Is literally tied up
In them. She promised. Susan they would
go for a certain walk some time; Mar)',
that she would call for her when she
went to town; Alice, that she would "stop
by" on another routing, and another
friend, that she would never take n cer
tain trolley ride Into the country again
unlesj that friend went with her.
Alt this annoyance, fretting, waste ot
lime nnd offending because, of sheer In
j J
ability to keep every obligation, !iaaiw
origin in excessive dependence- on fine's
friends. We make of our friends ah
obligation instead of a joy. We afullke
tho Jioy who never goes nnd returns
quickly because of the dependence ' ho
puts on the companionship of seven' other
toys and a dog. . '
We have never learned to find tho sup
I'crt wo need in ourselves. We do1 not
shop or call or walk alone; wc do not
buy a toxt book und study alone, bul
must first organize a club tor that pur
pose, we do not grieve alone, but hunt
up a friend with a soft, sympathetic
shoulder.
A girl pours into another girl's ears
her lovo for Tom. refusing' to learn that
the confession will humiliate her when
he is in lovo with Dick tomorrow .ami

emotions as permanent; our sorrows andl
joys as fixed and unchanging", und fur I

Dear Miss Fairfax: Kindly give your
opinion of a boy who got exceedingly
angry because a girl who had been on a

at 11:30 i m., also because she had not
walked with him coming home, another
girl being at his side. Could pot he have
left the other girl and come with her"

Tho Ill-nature ot a boy Is too trivial .

such an hour, and his anger over tho
other matters Is not more to his credit.

and make more, but so conduct her Inter

Interference with what Is best for her own
development nnd purposes In life.
.This may be done In only one way; by
refusing to regard every ' friend as an
Imaginary obligation; a being to whom
ipromlses are made that tie up, and con
fuse, and conflict with every duty one
owes to one's self.
