For hour or more Chandos paced upon the
ramparts with his young Squire at his elbow and
talked to him of his duties and of the secrets and
craft of warfare, Nigel drinking in and storing in
his memory every word from revered teacher.
Many time in after life, in stress and in danger,
he strengthened himself by the memory of that
slow walk with the blue side and the
fair town the other, when the wise soldier and
noble hearted knight poured forth his precept and

And now the long ride drew to an end In front
of them the blue sea, fecked with the white

from the heavy-wooded plain to the springy turf
of the chalk downs. Far to the right rose the grim
fortalice of Pevensey, squat and powerful, like
great block of rugged stone the parapet twink

banner of England. A flat expanse of reeded
marshland lay before them, out of which rose a
single wooded hill, crowned with towers, with
brstle of masts rising out of the green plain some
distance the south of it. Nigel looked at it with
his hand shading his eyes, and then urged Pommers
to trot The town was Winchelsea, and there

also it is in camp and the field that the mystery
of war be learned There only has every great
captain to be its master. To start he must
have cool head, quick to think, soft before
his purpose is formed, hard steel when once he

cautious also, but with judgment turn his caution
into rashness where large gain may be put against
a small stake. An eye for country also, for the
trend of the rivers the slope of the hills the

Poor Nigel who had trusted to his lance and to
Pommers to break his path to glory, stood aghast
at this list of needs "Alas!' he cried. How am
to gain all this?-I who could scarce learn to read
write though the good Father Matthew broke
a hazel stick day across my shoulders?"
You will gain it, fair son, where others have
gained it before you You have that which is the
first thing of all, heart of fire from which other
colder hearts may catch spark. But you must
have knowledge also of that which warfare has
taught in olden times We know for example,
