The church, red, rectangular, respectable, environed by dark browed cedars and whispering pines, opens its doors and its windows hospitably wide on these occasions. Feminine ingennity always exhausts itself upon the church decorations for commencement day. Conspicuous tal- ent is displayed in the immense wooden arch that spans the brand new plank rostrum, which has for its underpin- ning the pulpit and the chance! rail. The startling crudeness of this material ' rainbow is softened to the eye bya wrapping of gray Spanish moss, into which is stuck, with happy irrelevance, hydrance3s, sunflowers, roses and glad- ioluses. 3m the keystone of this gorgeous arch springs always the symbol of as- piration, as interpreted by the lady dec- orators of Shingleton, a ladder made of cedar wisps, more or less successful- ly hiding from view an _ intrusive It is under this work of art that the pallid and quaking orators of the day take their stand, to make targets of them- selves for countless bright eyes and for the crueler darts of rival criticism. Girls are always out in force on com- mencement day, not that they take any abiding interest in the educational as- pect of the occasion, but the brass band which occupies the choir loft and dis- penses the most depressingly solemn music during the exercises is engaged to officiate at the dance in which com- mencement always culminates. Shingleton has just cause for pride on these occasions, and some orator is sure to assert from the rostrum, with- out fear of contradiction, that so much of beauty and talent and grace could not possibly be gathered together in any other known spot on the earth. After the declaiming is all safely through with there will be a dinner out under the cedar trees in the ¢ld church- yard. No one objects to the somber presence of the occasional tombstones that crop above ¢he tall weeds in the churchyard. They come rather handy, in fact, the tall and conical ones as hatracks, the fiat ones as receptacles for the ice cream freezers and the lemonade buckets. The sunken and effaced in- scriptions appeal to no unhealed griefs. They are at once too obscure and too familiar to flutter the faintest pulses. Shingleton’s resurrection day is for the quick, not for its dead. Every housekeeper within a radius of ten miles stands sponsor to the spread that day on the long, precarious plank tables under trees, through whose breeze stirred branches the sunshine falls upon the white table- cloths in dots and checks. Enforced attention for several hours to declamations, sometimes trite, al- ways crude, is productive of ravening hunger. From the inevitable roast pig, with the red apple clinched in its fixed jaws, down to the lightest salads, ev- erything is provided ona colossal scale by the experienced housewives of Shin- gleton, who for weeks past have merg- ed private interests, p rsonal dislikes, moldy disputes and inherited feuds in the one fer which Shingleton moves and has its being. Commencement day of 1859 was no ainner the cedar cause exception to its predecessors. It came in June, as it always did. It was hot and dusty, as it always was. Every- thing and everybody who shared the social respcnsibilities of the occasion were in a state of smiling readiness, as they always were. If now the boys would only ‘‘quit themselves like men,”’ Shingleton’s proud record would remain tubroken. To the usual interest of this partic- alar commencement at the eleventh hour was edded an element of painful sur- prise. An ominous whisper was afloat. A foreshadowed disgrace threatened Shingleton. An illusive veil of mystery dropped like a pall over the familiar scene of the decorated church with its beflowered rainbow and the precarious tables with their load of comestibles. A robbery had been committed at the college, not only at the college, but in the college. Cash and valuables belong- ing to the professors and — “ ¥ under circumstances com- ae conviction that some one of the students was the culprit. , Shingleton accepted the possibility 0 crime in connection with its college slowly and incredulously. In view of the fact that nearly all of the — came from well known families of — social position, it was almost a conception that any one of ae stoop to the plebeian offense of s S To a man they belonged to the slay holding aristocracy.

There was nothing commonplace about Shingleton. Nothing shocking had ever happened there, and the possi- bility of disgrace overtaking it through the medium of any one of its young aristocrats shook the congregated house- wives to the very center of their nerv- ous systems. Mrs. Fitzwilliams, absently dipping ® long handled gourd in and out of the lemonade barrel, conveyed to Mrs. Ma- ginnis, who was slicing cold tongue in- to newspapers spread on a neighboring tombstone, her conviction that ‘‘the thing was impossible. There was not a plebeian in the whole college, from President Hopkins down."’ Mrs. Maginnis poised her carving knife reflectively. ‘‘ Yes, one.’’ ‘*You mean that young Martin?’ “Te” “*Ohy, he is the valedictorian. They say he is dreadfully smart, studious and ambitious beyond everything; mid- night oil sort of boy, you know.’’ ‘His father is old Colonel Strong’s overseer,’’ said Mrs. Maginnis, stabbing the cold tongue severely. ‘*Ye-s, that’s true. But the boy came here with Adrien Strong. That ought to be indorsement enough. In fact, as I understand it, Colonel Strong sent him with his grandson because the boys had grown up together on the planta- tion and the overseer had named this boy for him, which inclined him to give him a better chance for an education than overssers’ sons usually eet.’’ (To be Continned, ) Te ee = After =the Spin = A=Wheel, .
