Blood's health having grown worse
during the voyage, he decided to
go ashore there, additionally urged
to it by the fact that it was his

Thus in January of that year,
1855, he had come to Brldgewater,
possessor of a fortune that was ap-
proximately the same as that with
which he had originally set out
from Dublin eleven years ago.
Because he liked the place, in
which his health was rapidly re-
stored to him, and because he con-
ceived that he had passed through
adventures enough for a mans
lifetime, he determined to settle
there, and take up at last the pro-
fession of medicine from which he
had, with so little profit broken
away.

of it as matters, up to that night,

of Sedgemoor was fought.

Peter Blood, bachelor of med,

the geraniums boxed on the sill OF
his window above Water Lane in
the town of Bridgewater. Mr..
Bloods attention was divided be-
tween his task and the stream of
humanity in the narrow street be-
low; a stream which poured for
the second time that day towards
Castle Field, where earlier in the
afternoon Ferguson, the Dukes
chaplain, had preached a sermon
containing more treason than divin-
ity.
These struggling, excited groups
were mainly composed of men with
green boughs in their hats and the
most ludicrous of weapons in their
hands. Some, 1t is true, shouldered
fowling pieces, and here and there
a sword was brandished; buI more

when 1t so suited him, tended his
geraniums and smoked his pipe on
Tat warm July evening as indif-
feSontly as if nothing were afoot.
He laughed and sighed in one;
bit the laugh dominated the sigh,
Tor Mr.. Blood was unsympathetic,
SIS are most self-sufIicient men; and
he was very self-suflicient; adver-
sity had taught him so to be. A
more tender-hearted man, possess
ing his vision and his knowledge,
might have found cause for tears
in the contemplation of these ar
dent, simple, Nonconformist sheep
going forth to the shambles-es-
c0rted to the rallying ground on
Castle Field by wives and daugh-
ters, sweethearts and mothers, sus-
tanned by the delusion that they
were to take the field in defence of
Right, Of Liberty, and of Religion.
For he knew. as all Bridgewater
knew and had known now for some
hours, that it was Monmouth's in
tention to deliver battle that same
night. The Duke was to lead
surprise attack upon the Royalist
army under Feversham that was
now encamped on Sedgemoor. Mr..
Blood assumed that Lord Fever
sham would be equally well-in7
formed, and if in this assumption
he was wrong, at least he was
Justified of it. He was not to sup
pose the Royalist commander so
lindifferently skilled in the trade
he followed.
Peter Blood was the son of an
Irish medicus who had early re-
solved that the boy should follow
his own honorable profession, and
Peter Blood, being quick to learn
and oddly greedy of knowledge
had satisfied his parent by receiv-
ing at the age of twenty the de-
gree Of baccalaureus medicinal at
Trinity College, Dublin. His father
survived that satisfaction by three
months only. His mother had then
been dead some years already.
Thus Peter Blood came into an
inheritance of some few hundred
pounds. with which he had set out
Ito see the world. A set Of curious
chances led him to take service
with the Dutch, then at war with
France; end a prediction for the
sea made him elect that sAis SER

no affair Of his, as indeed it waa
not, and Indifferent to the activity
with which Bridgewater was that
might agog. Mr. Blood closed his
ears to the sounds of it, and went
early to bed,
The armies came into collision In
the neighborhood of two o'clock
in the morning, Mr.. Blood slept
undisturbed through the distant
boom OF cannon. Not until four
o'clock did he awaken from his
tranquil slumbers He sat up in
bed, rubbed the sleep from his
eyes, and collected himself. Blows
were laundering upon the door Of
his house, and a voice was calling
incoherently. He reached for bed
gown and slippers, went himself
to open. There in slanting golden
light of the new-risen sun Mr..
Blood recognized him for the young
shipmaster, jeremiah Pitt, who had
been drawn by the general en-
thpsiasm into the vortex of that
rebellion. The wild-eyed lad
plunged, headlong, into speech,
gasping, breathless.

At sight of the doctor, dressed
and booted, the case of instruments
tucked under his arm, the messen-
ger d,sengaged himself from those
who pressed about, shook off his
WEAKNESS and selling the bride Of
his horse, he climbed to the saddle.
Come along, sir" he cried.
Mount behind me-"
Mr.. Blood, without wasting words,
did as he was hidden. Pitt touched
the horse with his spur. The little
crowd gave way, and thus, upon
the crupper Of that doubly-laden
horse, clinglng to the belt of his
companion, Peter Blood set out
upon his Odyssey. For this Pitt,
in whom he beheld no more than
the messenger of wounded rebel
gentleman. was indeed the very
z messenger Of Fate.

Annapolis Weeds Out
 All Ciuilian Teachers

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-The big cut in the number of civilian teach CTS at the Naval Academy, a result of the policy of financial retrench- ment in the navy, is felt keenly here and strongly resented by the large number of instructors who lost their employment and many others.
 Not only is the blow a severe one to those directly concerned but there are indications that it is the begin ming of a policy of ridding the insti- tuition as far as possible of civilian teachers and a return to the old pol icy of having practically all the in- struction given by naval officers.
 2 Have Been Dropped.
 Twenty-three civilian teachers, out of a total of seventy-two, not includ ing those in the department of physi- cal training have been dropped and the number included several who had been connected with the teaching force of the academy as long as 20 years. The reduction mounted to practically one-t third of the whole force.
 Ten of those who failed to reap pointment were attached to the de- rartment of modern languages, seven to that of English, four in mathema- tics and one to marine engineering and naval construction. One instruc- tor in the department of physical training also was dropped.
 There is no doubt that an appeal will be made to congress in the mat ter, particularly as it is claimed that the standard of education will lower at the academy on account of the
