It was in the stormy days, so near

which it handled the Land War,
that the R.T.C. "made itself"—by
its forbearance quite as much as by
its fortitude. The year 1880—with
Gladstone, not yet a Home Ruler,
in power—was the most troublous
of all. In that year the outrages

police uniformity. All ranks of the
