to DcVonshire, where lie remained three

lures by an English painter named Will

him. Candy was Il great admircr of

Reynolds to accompany him as his

gladly accepted. Thus came the chance

and became the vogue. His industry
was astonishing. He would have several
sltters daily. In the year 1853, for ex-
ample, he painted 100 portraits. But
Win all these commissions he did not
become in the least manufacturer of
portraits. as did others at his time, and
since. for that matter. He had an early
friend in the fashionable and wealthy

was instrumental in bringing to his
studio many OF the first nobility and

to bring him seriously before the world
was that of his old friend, Admiral

IN the mans career when he had been
shipwrecked. The sailor was in uniform,
grasping the hilt of his sword and strid-
