Oak we had our flags flying bravely and a
candle In avery wilitiow , with a big U.
it. flutterllig in tlto wind over the
door of the inn , Folk were weary of the
war , for we hati keen at It for eight years ,
taking holland anti Spain and F'tanco each
In turn and all together. All that we had
learned during that time was that our little
army was no itiatch for the Flench on land
and that our large navy was more titan a
match for them upon th vater.Ve had
galnetl some credIt , whIch wo were sorely
In need of , after the American business , nnd
a few colonies , which were welcome also for
the same reason , but our debt had gone on
rising nOt ? our consols sinking , until even
litt stood aghast. Still , If we had. known
that there never could be peace between
Napoleon atll ourselves , and that this was
only the enti of a round and not of the
battle , we 'titould hiaro been better advised
had we ( ought it nut without a break. As
it was the French got , back the 20,000 good
seamen whom we had captured , and a fine
fiance they led us with their Boulogno
flotIllas and fleets of Invasion before we were
nbltt to catch them again.
My father , as I remember him best , was a
totigli , strong , little man , of no great
hreatlthi , but pohll , and well put together.
his face was burned of a reddish color , as
bright as a flower pot , anti In spIte of his
age , for he was only 40 at the time of
which I speak , It s'as shot with lInen whIch
deepened it Ito ere In any way perturbed ,
5'0 that I have seen him turn on the instant
from a youngish man to an elderly , Ills
eyes especially were meshed round wIth
wrinkles , as Is natural for one who had
puckered thorn all his life in facing foul
wind nni , bitter weather. These eyes were
perhaps hl strangest feature , for they were
of a very clear and beautiful blue , which
shone the brighter out of that ruddy setting ,
By nature lie must have been a fair-skinned
man , for his upper brow , where his hat
canto overIt , was as vhIto as mine , and his
close-cropped hair was tawny.
lie had eorved , as ho vtts proud to say , in
the last of our Bhlii)5 whIch had been chased
out of the MedIterranean In ' 97 , and in the
first whIch had re-entered it In ' 98. lIe
wan under Miller , as third lieutenant of the
Thescus , when our fleet , like a pack of eager
foxhounds iii a covert , was dashIng from
Sicily to Syria , anti back again to Naples ,
trying to pick up the lost ocent. With the
annie good fighting man ho served at the
NIle , where the men of his command sponged
and rammed and trained until , when the
last tricolor had come down , they hove up
the sheet anchor ind fell dead asleep upon
the top of each other under the capotan
bars. Then , as a second lieutenant , ho was
In one of those grim threc-dockors , with
powder-blackened hulls and crimson scupper
holes , their spare cables tied round their
keels and over their bulwarks to hold them
together , which carried the news into titi ,
Bay of Naples. From thence , as a reward
for his services , ho was transferred as first
lieutenant to the Aurora frigate , engaged
in cutting off suppiiea from Genoa , and in
her Ito still remained until long after peace
was declared.
110w vell I remember his home-coming.
Though it is now eight anti forty years ago ,
it is clearer to me than the doings of laut
week , for the memory of an old man is like
one of those glasses which shows out what
is at a distance and blurs nil that is near.
My mother had been in a tremble over
since the first rumor of the preliminaries
canto to our oars , for ho know that ho
might come as soon as his message , She
said little , but site saddened iny life by insisting -
sisting that I shoufd be forever clean and
tidy. With every rumble of wheels , too ,
her eyes would glance toward the door and
her hands steal up to smooth her pretty
black hair. She had embroidered a white
"welcome" upon a blue ground , with an
anchor in red upon each side , and a border
of laurel leaves , and this was to hang upon
the two lilac bushes which flanked the cottage -
tage door. He could not have loft the
Mediterranean before we had title finished ,
and every morning she looked to see if It
Were in Its place and ready to be hanged ,
But it was a weary time before the peace
was ratified , and it was April of next year
before our great day came roend to us. It
had becn raining all morning , I remember-
a soft , spring rain , which sent up a rich
emeil from the brown earth and pattercd
pleasantly upon the budding chestnuts behind
our cottage. The sun bad shown out in the
evening , and I had come down with my fish
ing rod ( for I had promised floy Jim to go
with him to the mill stream ) , when. what
should I see , but a postehaiso with two
smoking horses at. tito gate , and there in the
open door of it Wfl my mother's biack akirt
and her little foot Jutting out , with two blue
arms for a waist belt , end all the rest of her
buried In the chaise. Away I ran for the
motto , and I pinned it up on the hushes as
we had agreed. When I had finished there
were the skirts and the feet and the blue
arms just the same as before.
"hero's Rod , " said my mother at last ,
struggling down onto the ground again.
"Itoddy , darling , here's your fatheri"
I saw the rod face and the kindly light
blue eyes looking out at me. "Why. rloddy ,
lad , you were but a chiiitl , and we kissed
goodbye when last we met , but I suppose wo
must pitt you on a tlitferont rating now-
I'm right glad from my iearL to sea you ,
dear lad , and as to you , swoetficart- ! " The
blue arms flew out and there were the skirt
anti the two feet fixed In the door aaa'n.
"hero are the folk coining , Arisen , " said
my ilothler blushing. "Won't you get out
anti coma In with us ? "
Anti then suddenly it came liomo to uc
both that for all his cheery face he hind
never moved more titan his arms , and that
lila leg was resting on tile opposite seat of
the chaise ,
Oh , Anson , Anson ! " she cried.
"Tut , 'tie but the bone of my leg , " raid he ,
taking his knee between his hiantla and lifting -
ing it round , "I got It broke in the bay ,
but the surgeon itas fished it and spliced it.
though it's a bit crank yet. Why , bless her
kintliy heart , if I haven't turned liar frq
pink to white. You can aeo for yourself that
it's nothingi"
lie sprang out as ho spoke , and 'with one
leg and a staff he hopped swftly up the path ,
and under the laurel-bordered motto , and so
over itis own threshold for the first timA
for five years , When the postboy and I had
carried up the sea chest and the two canvas
bags , there lie was sitting in hi armchair
by tlto window in hi old weather-&alned
blue coat. My mother was weeping over his
poor leg. anti lie patting her htalr with one
brown hand. IIi other ho threw round my
watL anti drew inc to the side of iii chair ,
"Now that we have peace I can lie up and
refit until Jing George wants me again , "
saiti ho , " 'Twas a carronade that caine
adrift in tito bay when it was blowing a topgallant -
gallant breeze with a beans sea. lIre wo
could make It fast It itad mu 3an2med against
the inast Well , well , " ho added , iooklng
around at tlte walls of the room , "Hero arc

narwhial's horn from the Arctic and the biow
flzhi from the Moluccas and the paddituj from
Fiji and the picture of the Ca Ira with
Lorti liotliatu in chase , And hero you are
Mary , anti you also , Roddy , and good luck
to the carronade which baa scut me Into so
snug a harbor without fear of sailing orders. "
My mother iatl his long pipe and his to-
bcco all ready for him , so that ho % 'as able
now to light It. and to sit looking from ono
of us to the other and titan back again , n.e if
ho could never tee enough of us , Young as
I was I could stlil understand that this was
the moment which lie had thought of during
litany a lcnely watch , and tiia the expecta- i
tion of it bad cheered his heart In nany a
clark hour. Sometimes ho would touch one
at us with his hand , and sometImes the 1
otttr , and so lie sat , with his soul too sati-
ateil for words , while the ahadows gathered
in the little room , anti the lights of the inn
windows glimmered through the gloom. And
Ibm , after my mother had lit our own lamp ,

siid ito got one knee to the ground also , so

to braven for manifold mercies. When I
hook back at my parents as they were In
those days , it is at that very moment that
I can picture them most clearly , her aweet
face , with the wet sh.tlng upon her cheeks ,
and his blue eyes upturned to the smoke-
blackened ceIling. I remembered that lie
swayed his reoki' g pIpe iii the earnestness
of his prayer , so that I was bait tears and
halt smiles ins I watched hIm ,
"Itoddy , lad , " raId he , after supper was
over , "you're getting a man now , and I sup.

You're old enough to strap a dirk to your
thigh. ' '
"Anti leave me without a child as well as
wIthout a hushand , " cricti the mother ,
"Vell , there's time enough yet , " said he ,
"for they are more inclined to empty berths

Ito shook hi head gravely when ho found
that I could not answer him.
"Vhy , there are men in the fleet who never

"I had a share of both lant cruise , which
comes from changing a line-of-battle ship
for a frigate. Now , Rodney , there are two
pounds in every 100 duo to ma when the
prize courts have done with them. When
we ware watching Massena oft Genoa , we got
a matter of seventy schooners , brigs and tar-
tano , with wine , food and powder. Lord
Keith wiil 'want his finger in the pie , but
that's for the courts to settle. Put them at
four pounds apiece to me , and 'what will the
seventy bring ? "
"Two hundred and eighty pounds , ' I an-
swered.
"Why , Ar.son , its a fqrtuno , " cried my
mother , clapping her hands. -
"Try you again , Roddy , " said ho , shaking
Ills pipe at one. "Thero was the Xebec Zn-
gate out at Barcelona , with 20,000 Spanish
dollars aboard , which make 4,000 of our
pounds. Her hull would be worth another
thousand. What's my share of that ? "
"A hundred pounds , "
"Why , the purser couldn't work it out
quicker , " he cried in his delight. "Here's
for you again. We passed the straits and
worko'J up to the Azores , where we ( cli in
with the L.a Sablna , from the Mauritius , with
sugar and spices. Twelve hundred pounds
she's worth to me , Mary , my darling , and
never again shall you soil your pretty fin-
gore or pinch upon my beggarly pay. "
My dear mother had borne her long strug-
gb without a sign all these years , and now
that she was so suddenly eased of it she
foil sobbing upon his neck. It was a long
time before my father had a thought to spare
upon my examination 'in arithmetic.
"It's all in your lap , Mary , " said ho , daah-
ing bin own hand across his eyes. "Ely
George , lass , when this leg of mine is sound
wo'li bear down for a spell to Brighton , and
it there is a smarter frock than yours upon

But how is it that you ao so quick at fig-
urea , Rodney , when you know nothing of
history or geography ? "
I tried to explain that atldition was the
same upon sea or land , but that history and
geography were not.
" \Vehl , " ho concluded , "you need figures
to take a reckoning , anti you need nothing
else save what your mother wit will teach
you. There never was coo of your breed

gull. Lorti Nelson has promised moe a
vacancy for you , anif he'll ho as good as his

So it was that my father came home to
us , anti a better or kinder no lad could vieli
for. 'Though my parents had bean married
so long they hind. really seen very little of
each other , and their affection was as warm
and fresh as if they were two newly wedded
lovers. I have learned since that sailors
can bo coarse and foul , but never did I know
it from my father , for , although he had
seen as much rough work as the wildest
could wish for , he was always the same
patient , good-lzuntorod man , with e smile
and a jolly word for all the VIllage , lIe

tog thieni such stories of Nelson and his
men that I have seen the champion knot his
great hands together , while Jim's eyes have
smouidered like the forge embers as lie

My father had been placed on half pay ,
iiko so many others of the old war oMeors ,
and so for nearly two years ho was able to
remain with us. During eli this time I can
Dimly OOCO remember that there was tite
tilghtest disagreement between hIm and my

miust tell you how it came about. It sau
Indeed the first of a series of events which
iffected not only my fortunes , but those of
very much mono important people ,
The spring of 1803 was an early one and
hie middle of April saw the leaves thick
apon thto chestnut trees , One evening we
were nil seated together over a dish of
es , when we heard the scrunch of steps out-

vith a letter in his hand.

CHAPTER V.
BUCK TREGELLIS.
Now that I was in my 17th year , and I
had already some 'need for a razor , I had
begun to weary of the narrow life of tlmo
village , and to long to ace something of the
great world beyond. And the craving was
all the stronger because I ( iurst not speak
openly about it , for the least hint 4of it
brought the tears into my mother's yos.
But now there wan the lean reason that I
should stay at home , since my father was at
her sdo , and so my mind was' all filled by
this prospect of my uncle's visit , and of the
clmanco that lie might set my feet moving
at last upon the road of life ,
Arm you may think it was toward my
father's profeesion that my thoughts and my
hopes turned , for from my childhood I have
never seen time heave ot the sea or tasted the
xilt upon my lips without feelmmg the blood
of five generations of seamen thrill within my
veine. And think of the challenge which was
over wavering in those 'days before the eyes
of a coast-living ladi I had but to walk up
to Wolstcimbury In the war time to see the
sails of the French chasse-marees and priva-
tears. , Again and again I have heard the
roar of the guns coining from tar out over
thio watera. Seamen would tell us how they
had left London and been engaged are nightfall -
fall , or sailed out of Portsmouth and been
yardarm to yardarm before they had lost
sight of St. Helen's light , It was tItle Imminence -
minenco of tlio danger which warmed our
hearts to our sailors , antI made us and Cuddle
Cohllngwood and Johmnnio Jarvis , end , the rest
of them , not as being great high admirals
with titles and dignities , but as good friends
whom we loved and honored above all others ,
What boy was there through tins length and
breadth of Britain who did not long to ho out
with them under the red cross flagi
But now that peace had come , and time
fleets 'which h4d swept the channel and the
Mediterranean were lying dismantled in our
barbort , , there was less to draw one's fancy
seaward , It was London now of which I
thought by day and brooded by night , time
hugo city , time hone of thi wise and time
great , from which caine tl1i constant stream
of carriages and those 'croIs of dusty peoimlo
who were forever flasimlng'0past our window
pane , It was this ate 'sdpot life which first
presented itself to mp , 'Mmd ' so as a boy I
used to picture time ciys' a gigantic stable
with a huge huddle q , b1che , which were
forever streaming off 't,41I the country roads ,
But titan Champion lIgrcIsop totd me how the
fightiiig men lived the.tq , nd my father how
the heads of the nay- Wed there , and my
lnotlmcr how her brothm"hjJ his grand friends
were there , until at1 ja , I was ccmwumed
with Impatience to sep tifi marvelous heart
of England , This coibto of my uncle then
was the breaking of l1cbjlmrough time dane.
floss , though I hardly d'il to hiopo that Ito
wouid take mo with jIIri into those high
circlca tn which li hiyd1 'My mother , however -
ever , had such confld3cqcither in hue good
nature or in her owm nors of persuasion
that she already begi 1to make furtive
preparaticiis for my dopure.
But if the narrowness of the village life
chafed my easy spirit it was a torture to the
keen mind ardent mind of Boy Jim , It was
but a few days after , the coming of py
uncle's letter that we walked over time Downs
together and I had a peep of time bitterneiss
of his heert ,
"What is thiro for me to do , Rodney ? " lo
cried , "I forge a shoe and I fuller it , and I
clip it , and I caulken it , and I knock six
hioiemi in it , mind ther It. Is finished , Thou I
do it. , again and again , and blow up the hallows -
lows and feed the forge , and rasp a hoof or
two , and there it is a day's work done , and
every day the santo as time other , \aa it
for this only , do you tlaiulc , that I was born
into the world ? "
I looked at. hint , liii proud , eagle face , and
his tall , s1nuw ilue and , woamlered

whether in the whole land thco was a finer ,
handsomer man.
"The army or the navy tt t.c phce for
you , J'm , " said I ,
"That Is very weli , " he cried , "II you g
into the navy , as yen arc likely to 'ho , you
Ct ) as an omeet , and It is you who do Iho
ordering. If I go in It is as ono who was
born to receive orders. "
"An omcer gets his orders from those
above him , "
"But an omeer does not have the lash
hung over his head , I saw a poor fellow at
the inn here-it was acme years ago-who
showed tms his hack in the taproom , all cut
into red diamonds wIth the boatswain's whip ,
' \Vhmo ort.ieretl that ? ' I asked , 'Time captain , '
said lme. 'And what would you have hail if
you had struck hint dead ? ' said I ,
" 'TIme yardarm ' lie ammewered. 'Then , it
I hail been iou that's where I should have
been , ' said I , and I spoke the truth , I can't
help it , llodl There's something imere In mu ) '
heart , something that is as inucim a lart of
immysolt as thin hand is , 'hiich holtis me to It. "
"I know that ycu are as proud as Lmmcifer , "
saiti I.
"It was born with me , Itotidy , anti I can't
help It. Life wouiti be easier it I could. I
was tmaiio to be my own master , amid there's
only one place wimero I can lmopo to be so , "
' ' \\'hero is that , Jimmi ? "
"Iii London. MIss Ihinton line told mc of
it until I feel as f I cotmid find my way
through it from end to end , Sire iove to
talk of it as well as I do to listen. f have

London. "
"how ? "
"Never mind how , Itoti , I could tb It , and
I will do it. too. Wait , ' says my uncle ,
'wait , anti it will all coma right for you. '
Timat is what he always says , anti my aunt
time same. Why should I walt ? What am I
to wait for ? No , flotltiy , I'll stay no longer
eating toy heart out in thus hittla village ,
Imut , I'll leave my nlmron behind me anti I'll
