But his man had no notion of
yielding so readily. He gave one
quick sudden jerk In the desperate
hope of freeing his imprisoned hand.
But the jerk was instantly followed by
a sharp scream of pain, as he felt what
seemed to him like barbed arrows
piercing the tender flesh of his white
hand that was soft and dainty as a

HEADS OF NAVAL BUREAUS.
Decision aS to Their Pay in Case of
Retirement.

l.. 2. Mitchell, the assistant controller of
the treasury, has decided. in the case of
Rear Admiral Stewart that under the naval
personnel act the heads of staff bureaus of
the Navy Department retire with the rank
and three-fourths of the sea pay of COM
mndorc, if retired for age or length of serv-
ice, prior to July /, 1S.s9. After July /, if
such an officer has, in addition, seen service
IL the civil and has a creditable record,
he is entitled to three-fOurths the sea pay
of a senior rear admiral
The effect of this Interpretation of the
law is that after July l a captain or officer
in the navy may be put at the head of a
staff bureau. He thus becomes a junior
rear admiral, the highest salary of which
Is $3.50 year If the same officer retireS
shortly afterward, and has seen service in
the civil war, he is entitled to the rank
and three-fOurthS of the pay of a senior
rear admiral, or major general of the army.
The full pay of this grade is $500. on
three-fOurthS pay the retired official would
get $5,625. This is $125 a year more than
he was paid on active duty, although his
allowances have stopped.
