1896.] Europe with her mother the last day of Commencement week. Jack Crawford was much surprised to hear of Victor's engage ment. The truth was, Jack was sorry for the girl. Victor Lee was undoubtedly a good fellow and an ideal chum, but he was undeniably fickle. He had been engaged three times before he had met Miss Langford, and Jack had little faith in his constancy. Marion was an exceptional girl, and Jack was sorry for her for he felt sure that Victor's head would be turned by the next charming girl he met.
