For I soon found thai the . youni? gentlemen in the cockpil were intimately acquainted with all of the antecedents, glorious or otherwise, of their superior officers. The lie in the early part of this sentence was patent to mo. hut so ureal was the power lo charm of this squiniintf. widi'iimuthed fellow, that I felt, myself drawn to him Irresistibly, and KomethitiK in my countenance showed it, for he linked his linn ihi'oii!;h mine and begun aain: "I know your meat aunt, too, Polly llawksliaw.

" Tills was, of coarse, a vilification, ami Lady Havkshaw's name was not Polly, hut Apollonia; hut I blush to sav I snokn not. one word In defense f either her or her name. It occurred j to me that niy new friend was a per- j son who could pive nie much infornia- I tion about my on! tit and uniforms, and 1 candidly stated my case to liiui. ! Tome on." he cried. "There's a rascal of a haberdasher hem who ; lives off. his majesty's ollicers. and I'll take you there and fit you nut; for! Sir Peter's the man lo have his younff oti'icers smart. A friend of mine j poor fellow! happened lo be caimht in mufti in the Ajax the other day,; and Sir Peter had all hands turned upj for an execution. My unhappy friend i bepired that lie iiiii;hl be shot instead of handed, and Sir Peter, I'll admit, juanted him the favor. The poor fel low tied the handkerchief over his rye'4 himself, fornave all his enemies, and asked his friends to pay his debts. Zounds, 'twas the most r.f renins; scene I ever witnessed." 1 plainly perceived that niy com panion was talkini; to frighten me. and showed It. by Jnustlni; my tongue into my cheek, w' i h caused him to burst mit laugliiui;. He pier titly became t.rave, however, and ir.ed nie sol emnly that a sen-olllcer find his choice of dressing handsomely, or being court-martialed ami shot. "Km" said he, "the one hundred and forty-fourth regulation of the service reads: 'All of his majesty's pea-ollirer.s nvo com manded to many heiresses, and in these cases, thv usual penalties for the ahduelion of heiresses are re milted.' .Now, how can we abduct heir esses, or even get them to look at us. . wi'liout line clothes? Women, my boy, j are caught by Hi" '" alone and li know "em, by Had!" This trilling speech remained in my j memory, and the day came when 1 ! recalled the idle talk of us two laugh ing midshipmen as prophetic. i We wenl together lo a shrp, where, j under h direction and that of an idly toiigueil shopman, I ordered one of ;he handsomest out lit s any mid-, slitpnuin could possibly have, includ-1 in;; two dozen of silk sun klncs, as my , new found friend infoinu d me tlw ! i very man on heard his majesty's sl ips, from ih" admiral down lo t lie j jai k-o -the .Inst. al.vavs wore silk steckings, because In the event of beln:; si ruck by a bail or a pike or a cullass in action, the danger from In llaniinatli'ii was much less wllh silk than v lib cold n or wool. All wenl swimmingly, until it was nie. I had forgot ten to ask him w hat ship he was attached to, hut it sud- nlv occurred to me that he, too, mi'-'li! be in the Ajax, and I asked hitn. linai'iiic my delight when lie said yes. "Hut if the admiral does not be have himself better," he added, "and if ike captain does not ask nie to din ner ofiener than he has been doing lately, I shall prefer charges against both of them. I have been assured by the lord in admiralty that any re quest of mine will be regarded as an order by them, and 1 shall request that Adniirafl Hawkshaw and ('apt. Hiul ford he relieved or their commands." Ily that lime we had rcacln d the water and there, stepping into a splen did, i iubt oared barge, I saw Sir Peter llawksliaw. He eaimlit sight of us at!'-1"' the same moment, and the change in (iiles Vernon's manner was what night have been expected, lie was even more modest and defeiential than I. as we rdvanced. "Ilei" you are!" pleasantly tried the admiral lo ire. "You lau away so fust t'other day, that I had no chance to give you any directions, rv.d I scarcely expected you to Hint up to- i s r - i rTi tiii n i o te m liii'is AnUAll I ri iiu&iiiii However.

"Thank you, very gratefully, engagement on sir," responded Giles ' but I have a pressing shore a matter of ini- meralde good qualitl s. hut the beggar ly virtue of pruletn 1 was not anion.; great-uncle. Now understand: Ymr piisiiinn in liie co. kpit Is that of this hat. In fact, j mi will lake the hat's pl.ii'i " whii h 1 found to be true, and I was called to iiccmtnl every day for some pari of the conduct of Admiral Hawkshaw. alihough 1 did not see him twice in the week. Mr. Ihixton. our tirsi lieu'euant. was a line ofticer. and celebrated for lick ing midshipmen into shape; and if I learned niy duty quickly he. rather than I, deserves the credit. My experience of other ships con vinces me that the juniors in the Ajax wire clever fellows; but Giles Ver them, lie had. however, another vir tue In a high degree -a daring and invincible courage. That, and his smartness as an officer, made Mr. Hiixion his friend, and caused many of his peccadilloes to lie overlooked. The fact thai at l' Giles Vernon was si 111 only a midshipman made me think that he was without fortune or influence: but 1 was soon enlightened on the subject, though not by him. He was the distant cousin and heir of Sir Thomas Vernon of Vernon court, near Yoik. and of Grosvenor square, Lon don. This man was generally spoken of as the wicked Sir Thomas, and a mortal hatred subsisted between him and his heir. Giles had been caught ; trying to induce the money sharks to 1 take his postobits; but as Sir Thomas j was not el r.t) years of age, and it was quite possible that he should marry. , I lie only result was to fan the flame of 1 nniniositv between him and his heir, j without Giles' gelling a shilling. The i next heir to Gil"S was another cousin. ' remote from both him and Sir Thomas, i one Capi. Philip Overton of the ! Guards, who was as much disliked by Thomas as was Giles. Giles, wlin had be'Mi at sea since his twelfth year, knew little or nothing of t'apt. Overton, alihough he swore many times in a month that he meant to many the first woman who would take him, for the purpose of cutting off Overton's hopes; but it occurred to rue, young as 1 was, that Giles was not the man to give up his liberty to the llrst woman who was willing to accept of it. We were fitting for th" Mediter- , rauean, and Hi" ship lay in the inner harbor a! Portsmouth, waiting her , turn to go in dry dock to be coppered. : Trtere was plenty for the seniors to j do, but not much for the midshipmen at thai particular time; aim we nan more runs on shore than usual. . The rest of us were satisfied with Ports mouth, but Giles was always raving of ndon and the London playhouses. Knowing how long I had lived In London, lie said to me one day: "Were you ever at Drury Late thea ter, my lad?" I said no, I had never been to the playhouse; and I blushed as I said it. no! desiring my messmates to know that I had been brought up by Petty (heel), a corporal's widow. 'Then, child," he cried, whacking me on the back, "you have yet to live. Have you not seen Mistress Trenchard the divine Sylvia as Itoxana, ns Lady Percy, as Vloletta? Oh, what a galaxy or parts! Oh, the divine creature!'' He threw himself across the mess. ; table at I hat. for we were in the cock. ! pil at the time. 1 laughed, boylike, at i his raptures, and he groaned loudly. !

He said little to me until we were in the gp at cabin of the Ajax. For myself, I can only say that 1 was so awed by ilie beauiy, the majesty, the splendor of one of the finest ships of the line in the world, Ihat I was dumb with delight and amazement. Once in the cabin, ilie admiral asked me about my means and my out lit . I burst out with the whole story of what occurred in the haberdasher's shop, at which Sir Peter looked very solemn, an I lectured nie upon the rcckle; sness of my conduct In ordering things wiih no money to pay for them, and followed il up with an offer to tit me mil handsomely. This I accepted wiih the inmost grati tude, and in a day or two I found my self established as one cf his majesty's midshipmen in the cockpit of the Aiax. and I liei'an to s' e life. CHAPTER II. My Introduction Into the cockpit of i the Ajax was pretty much thai of j every oilier reefer In his majesty's j navy, i was. of course, told that li showed the most brazen presumption 1 in daring to wish to enter the naval' service; that I ought to be a choir j boy at St. Paul's: that haymaking was ; niy profession by nalii.e. to say noth-, lug of an exchange of black eyes and bloody uoses with every midshipman' i my size In Ilie cockpit. Through1 all this Giles Vernon was my chief tormentor and best iriend. He pro claimed the fact of niy diysaltlng an cestry, and when I impudently re minded him that. I was the grandson of b iro. iet, lie gave me one kick for Hie drysalier and two for the baronet, lie showed me a battered old cocked hat hung up on a nail in the steerage :.!!;''.
