It is an elementary principle of the lama of war, aa well as international law, that all captures THE SPOILS OF iv war, whether WAR, made on land or sea and whether of pub- lic or private property, go to the benefit of the Government of the cap'uring party, and. that the Govern- ment is responsible for all c-ptures illegally mad?-. If the captund pro* perty or any part of its proceeds is 1 distributed among the captors, it must be authorised by local law, and with- out Buch local law the capturing party can claim no pecuniary interest m the capture he makes. It is the practice of nearly all Governments to give to the captors a specified portion of all captured property aa a reward for bravery and a stimulus to exertion. By the early Jnwish laws a distinction was made m booty between animate and inanimate things, the latter being given to individuals who captured them, while the former were distributed proportionally to those engaged m battle and those who guarded the baggage. Later the booy was dis- tributed proportionally to the whole army. Among the Greeks the booty was sometimes distributed by lot and sometimes sod and the money divided. In the early days of Rome each soldier retained the plunder he captured. Afterward the soldiers were obliged to bring all the booty into the common. It was then Bold by the general, the proceeds consigned to the public treasury, and a part distributed pro rata to the army. In the Middle Ages pillage was the general practice, but tbe evils were so great that the system of distribution was submitted, and sub- stituted, and a strenuous measure adopted to prevent soldiers from plundering. Prom very eaHy times the Admirals' Count m Fng'and has had juisdiction of all maritime ques- tions, and as the Ifnglish have been engaged so frequently m maritime wars there was a staudi; g proclamation for granting and distributing prize money to the navy, according to their respec.ive rates of pay m the service. The American laws respecting maritime prizes are modelled after those of Great Britain, and the decisions of the Am rican Piize Courts have been as able as those of the British Admiralty. The moat recent law m regard to prize money directs that where the enemy's force is < qual or superior to the captors, ihefnu're pr'ze money goos to the latter ; if inferior, one half goes to the I navy pension fund and the other half to tie captors. The coo manding > fil er of the fleet or equadron receives one-twentieth the command* r of a single thip three-twentieths if acting independently, and one-tenth of what -ldte cemmaiid cf a superior uflLt-r. to he remaining officers and men on i>oard. The priz« money aw aided to rhe officers and men of Admiral Samp- son's fleet, as thß result of iheir victory over the Spanish squadron at Santiago was 170.C00 dollars.

BRAVE JANET KIKG. -■■" — ♦ (Continued. ) boats had bean ffwatnped and lost. In the surf the great unwieldy hatch waa tumbled over and over, whirled and tossed about like a feather m a cyclone, so that all who were upon it were swept off and engulfed m the roaring breakers. One of the sailors never reappeared, and the other was hurled ashore more dead than alive seemingly. As for the woman, the tiger of the surf seemed to play with her like a cat does with a mouse, one moment bearing her m as if to leave her on the sand, the next carry- ing her out again m a wild swirl of the white spume and froth of the angry sea. Courageous Janet, standing on the beach, saw her so being done to death, and without a moment's hesitation plunged into the waves after her, seized her by the hair and dragged her to land, uncon- scious but alive. In all her struggles with death the mother had not loosened her hold upon the child, a pretty little golden blonde maid of two years or there- about. Both were resuscitated with little difficulty and sheltered m the house of David King. ,^-_^_ , — -*3^s. Janet seized her by the hair. That evening the woman, fully recov- ered but snugly ensconced m warm blankets, told her story to Janet, who sat by the bed to keep her company. She said: "I came from Manchester, England, to join my husband, who has been living m Philadelphia for a year past, and is now expecting our arrival, little imagin- ing how near a thing it has been to hia never seeing either of us again. He had to flee from England, but for nothing that he need be ashamed of. A man with whom he was associated m business robbed him outrageously, and they fought about it. In self defense against a murderous knife he cracked the rascal's skull with j a bar of iron and thought he had killed him. He would have been justified m doing so, but they were alone; he knew thatjie could not jn-oye the_deed done m self defense, and m fear of arrest 113 fled that same night to Liverpool, with- out waiting even to say farewell to me. "From Liverpool he managed to escape to this country. Until last October he deemed himself a murderer, and was haunted always by the fear of the gal- lows, but m that month he met face to face the man lie thought he had mur- dered. The wretch's skull had healed up as good as new, and, having a whole- some fear of the consequences of invit- ing the police to make any inquiries into his affairs, he had never even complained of having been assaulted. When my husband- learned that, and not until then, he ventured to write to me, telling me the story and directing me to come over with Edith as soon this spring aa ! ocean travel should be safe and pleas- ant." "Well," replied Janet smilingly, "you did not find it either safe or pleasant, but you are all right now, and m a few days will be with your husband again." "Yes, thanks to you, brave, noble girl that you are. And you shall see that he will be grateful to you for saving hia wife and child. He is no poor chap, able for nothing more than a 'thank you, ma'am.' He has done right well m this country. His firm is well known. No doubt you have heard of him." "What is his name?" "Selden Rangely." Janet stared at her m horrified amaze- ment, speechless, feeling a strange wild whirling m her brain, vaguely wondering if she were really awake and had indeed heard that name or if a nightmare pos- sessed her. The light m the room was dim, and the woman failed to see the deathly pallor that spread over the girl's face, did not notice her silence and un- nerved sinking back m her low rocking chair, but just prattled on heedlessly and unsuspectingly about her husband, her baby and herself, the narrow confines of her world. At length Janet spoke. Her throat seemed dry, her white lips hard and stiff, and she shivered as if with cold, but she forced her voice to ask: "Does your little girl look much like her father?" "Oh! she is the very image of him. The same blue eyes and light hair — lighter than his, of course, because she is only a baby yet, you know— but aa much like him as— well, you will see for yourself when he comes m person to thank you for saving his little Edith's life." Janet went out and walked on the beach m the darkness alone. She could not see where she was going, but that did not matter. The rain was falling, but she was not conscious of it. With her arms folded tightly across her breast, her fingers clinched m her flesh, her jaw set hard, and her wide oyes fixed upon vacancy she moved slowly, mechanical- ly, trying to think. So that woman was his wife! What, then, was she? A wreck. Love had come into her life with the sudden-ness of a storm and stranded her hopelessly. His blue eyes had been false beacons for her. Ah! how cruel had been his treach- eryl He swore that he loved her, would love her always, and she — poor, weak, credulous, ignorant fool that she was— had believed him. Oh, how she had trusted him! how she had loved him! And all the while he was simply amusing himself with her betrayal, laughing is Continued on page 4 KOZ£E TEA
