/ Rossiter was quite ~ cautious as at
first not to address any conversation
TO the two girls unless they invited
II. The free-and-easy life of the hop
fields, however. soon made itself felt
in their intercourse, and when Miss
Merton and her cousin discovered
that their pole-puller was intellectu-
ally their equal. whatever he might
be from a social point of view. they
often chatted freely with him during
the occasional intervals when he was
not busy and Glanced to be standing
near. They began, however. TO have
considerable curiosity concerning
him, for despite his rough clothes it
grew to be evident that he had some
time been accustomed to a different
environment from that In which he
was now placed.
II don't believe he's a m1l-hand
at ALL" announced Miss Merton. dur
ing one of the talks the two had con-
corning him.
You speak as though you had an
intimate acquaintance with the work

turned with some amusement

"Runl" cried Rossiter once moro W
the girl -
He would at least so manage inc
encounter that Miss Densmore wouie
have an opportunity to get oeyona
the clutches of this monster, provided
abe would avail herself of the brief
respite he could offer her. Had the
reaction from her fright rendered
her incapable of fleeing? He did not

Suddenly Dawson turned from him
with an oath, leaped the adjacent
rivulet, and plunged into the wood
But little more than so yards distant
Rossiter was aware of Miss Dens-
more's retreating figure. He too
crossed the little stream at a bound.

form OF his favorite professor aP-
parently untouched by the lapse OF
the years, sitting beneath his tree
EMPOWERED porch, and the desire was
strong in ROssiter's heart to go in
and take him once again by the hand,
but glance at his own attire, thread
bare and weather-stained, though he
had succeeded In freshening II some
what. restrained him.
1t was with a thrill of pleasure that
he came, just before reaching the hill
crest, to the row of ancient Lom-
hardy poplars, stately trees that had
defied the winter winds for well-nigh
a century. They had a greeting for
him. Here we are" they seemed to
say, "just as we were when you
tramped up and down beneath us, and
wc'rc glad to see you back" They,
at asst, did not notice the altered APP
pcarance of the erewhile spruce
yo'ry man.
\ 3ood of recollections swept upon
hi..i as he turned into the campus.
Here there were new buildings and .
more prosperous air than of old, but
the general effect was the same, and
struck Rossiter more than ever be-
fore as beautiful and impressive. The
hall in which he had roomed was
locked, so he roamed on, wandering
about at will and meeting no one, bet
ter pleased to have it so, finding am
pie companionship in the talking
trees and in his own memories. By
and by he strayed down into the col
lege burying-ground, little hedge
girdled God's-acre just under the
brow of the hill where some of the
college worthless and a few students
who had gone from life while yet I'M
dergraduates slept their long sleep.
1t was an ideal spot, full of the deep
est peace. In the lower corner, where
the trees opened and revealed vast
sweep of country as far away as the
Deerbrook Hills beyond the Mohon-
daga Valley, Rossiter cast himself
upon the sward. Here he fingered
for more than an hour, and when he
rose to leave there was sense of !
in his heart that was |
strange to him, and the light OF q
frmer resolve shone upon his face.

on You two and off he posted to a
different part of the yard, where a
stentorian voice was bawling Hop
sack"
Rossiter thoroughly enjoyed minis
tering to the wants Of the two girls.
IT had been many long day siace he
had been thrown into even the re-
fnement, and though he had little
speech with Miss Merton and her
cousin, he had plenty of opportunity
to observe them. Occasionally the
former addressed remark to him
or piled him with a question. feeling
free to do so as Mr.. Merton's
daughter. but he held himself scrupu-
lousy aloof unless his services were
reauired,s and was careful to say
nothing unless he was first spoken to.
Miss Merton's sunny temperament
and gay spirits pleased and amused
him, but he found Miss Densmore's
personality far the more attractive.
Furthermore, to him she was fairer
to look upon. Her complexion was
remarkable for its clarity. Now and
again, when she was speaking, in her
cheeks faint flush like the Nnt of
