Excerpt from The Wages of Honor, and Other Stories June sunlight, dimmed to silver by drifting morning haze, lay broad on the great campus, and chequered the flagged Elm Walk with flickering arabesque of twig and leaf. The thick young grass was still fleeced gray with heavy dew; the banners and hunt ing which draped the gaunt college doorways, and wreathed the flamboyant arches, that rose at inter secting paths along the Seniors' line Of march, hung moveless in the warm, sweet air. The day above was calm as sleep. Yet through it swung a great quick ening pulse of expectation. This fragrant morning silence, with its green peaceful vistas, its blue nu fathomed depths of sky, seemed merely the back ground, admirably planned, set with Wise. Thought and fine unswerving skill, for the climax Of some gracious play; for the last act of the long college year.
