COMMENCEMENT AT MONROE COL
 LEGE.

GOMNENCEMENT AT MONROE COLI,
 LEGE.
 1t was the evening of commence ment day at Monroe college. Upon the wide veranda of one of the fra lternity houses sat Philip Rossiter smoking cigar and gazing through an opening in the trees at the moon lght-fooded valley. A very different man he was in thought and appear ance from the individual who had strolled about the college campus that Sabbath morning more than a year and a half previous. The sky of fortune began to clear for him the day he became member of the staff of the Evening Star, and |lt$4rre had been no recurrence of cloud. Early in his career upon the paper, in the absence of more ex- perienced reporter, he had inter- viewed a distinguished parsonage with unwonted tact, and thus leaped at bound into the graces of the editor-in-chief. Inspired by his suc- cess, he tried sketch writing, the line of effort in which he had formerly won praise. His vivid pictures of 5 Ghe slpms. of tramp life. of unusual I konce court episodes, quickly att tracted attention, From these sketches to fiction was a natural and easy transition. and he suddenly ! found himself contributor to one of the best magazines.
 Rossiter was again the neatly Hressed man of yore, and to the ease q of manner which had always been his was added 8 subtle trace of inde- S pendence of assurance that was wholly new to him. He bore in his < heart but one burden, his love for Sylvia Densmore; and yet he often R Reonfessed to himself that the mem ory of, her winsome personality car sied with it more of sweetness than lof sadness. Her image and the recol- ection of the hop-field days, more lhan the importuning of friends, had 1rawn him back to Hintonvi1le and Ahe reunion with his college class mates.
 It was his first holiday since he had begun work upon the Evening jStar, and it proved to him time of restful delight--delight within whose translucent amber he was conscious of but a single flaw Three of the -four days for which he had been granted leave of absence had slipped by. Should he on the morrow drive ever to the Merton farm and have a chat with the good people--Jack Parmelee and Mr. and Mrs. Merton and their daughter? Every night since his arrival in Hintonville he had put to himself this question, but the visit was yet to be made. Pas sionately as he longed for some news of Miss Densmore, he dreaded to hear of what he reflected must, in all brobability, have long since taken
 lace--her marriage.
 For nearly an hour carriages had
 cen passing. conveying students and
 oung ladies and their chaperones
