youth. and received his early education
When seventeen years of age he was for
tunate in receiving an appointment to the
naval academy at Annapolis, from which
he was graduated in 1888. and where he
absorbed American history and acquired
that love of the-sea and sea fights which
have been the inspiration of his novels.
Force of circumstances, however, kept
Mr.. Brady from following the sea. A
good opportunity offered in railway enter
prise which he accepted, and for the next
few years the work of road construction
took him through the toughest parts Of
the West and Northwest. Then again his
life underwent a sudden and complete
change. He became strongly drawn to-

and in 1883 was ordained in the Episcopal
church. The next six years We're spent
in missionary work in the Western states,
and his labors were so untirlng and the
results so far-reaching in their benefits
that Mr.. Brady was made archdeacon OF
Kansas, post which he held for period
of over three years; then he was called
East to Philadelphia. At the outbreak
of the Spanish-Amer:can war he lost no
time in trying to re-enter the naval serv-

before. AS there was some delay in con
