augurated the litigation. Pratjean
crossed and recrossed his feet and i'm
patiently pressed his finger against the
throbbing lips. and Quillebert's muddy
eyes expressed satisfaction. The still
ness was broken by girlish voice at
some distance exclaiming, "Hurrah for
Quillebert-ha, ha. ha, ha" the merry
laugh. fresh and hearty, disclosing the
personality of Laure Juneau. This
produced a stir of relief, and immedi-
ately upon it the judge pronounced his
decision.
He said:
THE prohibition of emancipation in
the state does not apply to the acquisi-
ton of freedom by prescription, as pro-
vided by article 3510 of the civil code.
This article is not repealed by the stat
ute of 1857. They are not upon the same
subject matter. The slave after the
prescriptive time must be free, and he
becomes subject to the laws relative to
free persons Of color, for if the master
cannot claim him he is free.
"The intention of the heirs of Quey-
rouze to allow this plaintiff to enjoy his
liberty is clearly established. This is
sufficient, especially where the contest
is with mere usurper, with one who
got possession of the plaintiff under the
pretense of affection, of being his god
father and in order to enable him to
see his mother. One who could thus

the strong over the weak. He got pos
session of him under false pretenSes
and should be allowed to derive no
benefit from a possession obtained by
treachery and from a control over the
plaintiff exercised without permission
from his master or heirs.
"In such a contest the technical rules
of law ought to be construed with as
much rigidity in favor of as against
him whose only hope is in the protec-
ton the courts of the state can afford
him.
Il am therefore of the opinion that
the judgment must be in favor of the
freedom of the plaintiff against the de-
PENDANT, and it is so ordered, adjudged
and decreed."
Those nearest Oakfell shook his
hand warmly. Pratjean held a hand
kerchief over his lips, and his eyes
could scarcely be seen. Quillebert all
but foamed at the mouth and glared
viciously, murderously, at his adversa-
ries. During the delivery of the judg-

When the last words of the decree fell
from the judges lips, 300 men, mad

feet.
The judge arose and in a voice which
arrested the movements of all said:

British Cadets InstructiOn-Op-
DO1tiOU to Plan.

London. Dec. 2.-Oficial papers have been
issued which give full details of the new scheme
for naval education, under which the training
Of officers is be unified and simplif1ed by the
adoption of a single system for the training of
cadets for all three branches of the service
executive. engineers and marines.
The Earl of SeIborne. First Lord of the Ad-
miralty in an explanatory article in which he
argues that modern developments of the navy
require change in the personnel, says:
In the old days il sufficed If a naval officer
was a seaman: now he must be seaman, a
soldier, engineer and a man OF science as
we'll. To-day more knowledge and study IS
needed than in the past. and the highest type
of naval officer is that in which great profes-
sioual knowledge is added to force of character.
The danger within the navy itself Is lest m
sufficient Importance should he attached to the
results Of study. and lest the value or what Is
called practical character should be placed
higher than il deserves
The scheme as now detailed confirms the
previous forecast 1t will become operative
next July For the first seven years all cadets
will receive identical training in every branch OF
the service special attention being given 10
scientific study. Thenceforward from the age
of twenty the cadets will be drafted into the
different branches and will begin to specialize.
The scheme enables speedier promotion, pro-
vides for revised rates of pay, the disappearance
Of engineers disa Utilities and promotion to the
rank OF commander by selection.
