Esdaile were upon the most distant terms,
and neither showed any disposition to
change them. After a leisurely cruise
along the coast, they reached Portsmouth,

the wind was fair for hem to enter the
difficult harbor. Brydell, with Atkins, a
very smart sailor, was at the wheel when

her helm beautifully, came about like
magic and rounded the dangerous point.
In little while she reached her anchor

anchors dropped in an nconeeivably short

on a sharp projection and the bird tried to
loosen it, but failed.
After struggling with it in vain the
sparrow evidently became annoyed and
dashed at it wildly. The loop caught the
feathered builder about the neck in an
unaecountable way and held it fast The
bird tried 10 fly away, but the string jerked
it back and then it hung helplessly
In the first surprise of its curious posi-

Decked at the string, flew up against their
comrade, twittered about distractedly and
made great excitement.
All this was witnessed By the gathering
crowd. Many of the witnesses were ladies
who wanted some one to climb up and res
cue the bird. However. the stores in the
building were closed on account of the
holiday and nothing could be done but TO
let the sparrow die.
Life in the little bird soon passed awav

spectators were still looking at it the string

LORD Dutferin went to Cairo in 1882 and

was named Viceroy of India. There he

Rome as En- bassador, and now he is her

from obscurity and place them on the
scene of action. The French people re-
pIoach the Marquis of Dufferin, because
he is an inDravised diplomat.
Lord Dufferin was born at Florence In
1926. educated at Oxford, entered the
House of Lords in 1850, and in 1856, under
the protection of LORD RUSSELL made his
debut in diplomacy. As secretary of Lord
John Russell ne attended the Vienna con-
ference and at the close returned to pri-
yate life. Tempted by travel he went TO
Iceland, and his work on that country is
among the standard geographical publica-
tions. In 1860 Lord Dufferln was sent by
Lord PalmerstOn to Syria in order to de-
fend the Christians. During the twelve
following years Lord Dufferin was Under

Duchy OF Lancaster.
In 1872 Mr.. Gladstone chose him to be

CHAPTER VIII.

Esdaile avoided Brydell more than ever
at Ports mouth, and as they were in differ
ent classes it was easy for them to see but
little of each other. One night, though,
Brydell having come on board, after days
leave spent fishing with Grubb, was met
by third-class man as soon as he had got
on board and reported. This was his old
acquain lance Cunliffe, who had turned out
remarkably quiet and level-headed young
fellow, and belonged TO the section in
every class which keeps up the tone and
discipline of the class. "Brydell," said he,

was up, except the surmise that some in
fringement of the code of cadet ethics was
under discussion, and he knew from Cum
lines manner 1t was something serious.
For among these cadets there is a rigid
code of ethics which Is carried out with a
stern impartiality that would do honor to
much older men. Uucontaminated by the
influences of self-interest. which are learned
later in life, these ytung fellows insist
upon certain points of honor so Ten aciously
