PENSIONS ARE P A ID DIRECT New System o f Indorsements Will Do Away W ith Vouchers. Washington, D. C.—The new sys tem o f paying all persons on the Fed eral pension rolls direct from Wash ington instead o f through the 18 pen sion agencies is being inaugurated by the pension bureau. Checks are being sent to 300,000 pensioners in the sec tions heretofore covered by the agen cies at Augusta, G a .; Boston, Colum bus, Detroit, Washington and San Francisco.

For the first time in history the pensioners will be paid without the formality o f vouchers, the checks serving the same purpose by a re» quirement o f indorsement by the pen sioner in the presence o f two w it nesses.

And Uncle Ethan seems severe and hard, but It grieves him all the time. His only son was not a good man; he lives abroad with bis wife, who was an ac tress before he married her. You knew that?” aa he moved. “ I heard something of It I d the vil lage." Lestrange admitted gravely “ Please do not think me fond of gos sip; I could not avoid It- But I should not have Imagined this a family likely to make low marriages ” "It never happened before. I never saw that cousin, nor did Dick; but he was always a disappointment, always. Uncle Ethan has told me. And Blnce he failed, and Dick falls, there Is only me.” "Y ou !” She nodded, her Up quivering. "Only me Not as a substitute— 1 am not fit for that—but to find a sub stitute. I have promised my uncle to marry the firBt one who is able to be that.” The silence was absolute. Lestrange neither moved nor spoke, gazing down at her bent head with an expression blending many shades "It Is a duty; there Is no one ex cept me," she added "Only sometimes I grow—to dislike It too much. I am so selfish that sometimes I hope a sub stltute will never come." Her voice died away. It wag done; she, Emily Ffreneh, had deliberately confided to this stranger that which an hour before she would have be lieved no one could force from her lips In articulate speech. And she neither regretted nor was ashamed, although there was time for full reali zation before Lestrange answered. "I did not believe," he said, "that such things could be done. It Is non sense! It Is the kind of situation. Miss Ffreneh, where any man la Justi fied in Interfering. I beg you will leave the affair In my hands and think no more of such morbid self sacri fice." Stupefied, Emily flung back her head, staring at him. "In your hands?” "Since there are none better.

"I can," repeated Lestrange. “ Only,” he openly smiled, “ It will be hard on Dickie.” It wae the touch needed, the anti dote to sentiment. Emily laughed with him, laughed In sheer mischief and relief and leap of youth. "You will be gentle— poor D ickie!” “ I'll be gentle. He Is coming now, I think.” He took a step nearer her. "You will leave this In my care, whol ly? You » t i l not trouble about—a substitute?” "I will leave It with you. But you are forgetting your own doctrine; you ure taking some one elae'e work to do.” "Pardon, I am merely making Ffreneh do his work. I have seen a little more of him than you perhaps know; I understand what I am under taking Moreover, I would forget a great many doctrines to Bet you free." “ Free?" she echoed; aha had the sensation of being suddenly confront ed with an open door Into the unex pected. “ Free," he quietly reasserted. "Free to live your owu life and draw un hampered breath, nud to decide the great question when It comes, with thought only of yourself.’’ She drew back; a prescient dismay fell sharply across her late relief, a panic crossed with strange delight. "He's off," called Dick, emerging from the park. "I made Anderson take him down with the limousine. At least, Rupert I b driving while Ander son sits alongside and holds on; when they came to the turn In the avenue, your previous mechanician took tt full speed and then apologized for going so slowly because, as he said, he was an amateur and likely to upset. Is he really a good driver, Lestrange." "Pretty fair,” returned Lestrange serenely, from his seat on the edge of the ditched machine. “ When I’m not using him, he’s employed as one of the factory car testors; and when we’re racing I give him the wheel If I want to fix anything However, I’m obliged to that steering-knuckle for breaking here Instead of leaving me to a long wait In the wilds. Come down to thq shop tomorrow at six, and Rupert and 1 will even up by.taklng you for a run.” "W ho; me? You're asking me?” “ Why not? It's exhilarating.” Dick removed his hat and ran hla fingers through bis hair, gratification and alarm mingling In his expression with somewhat the effect of the smalt boy who Is first invited Into a game with hts older brother's clique. "You—er, wouldn’t smash me up?” he hesitated. Rupert got up, his dark, malign lit tle face twisted. “ If I'd broken a leg they’d have sent a cart for me.” he mourned "Now I’ll have to walk, and I ain’t used to it. Hard luck!" “ If you go around to the stables they will give you my pony cart." Emily offered Impulsively. “ You,” her dimpling smile gleamed out. “ you once put a tire on for me, you know. Please let me return the service.” Rupert's black eyes opened, a slow grin of appreciation crinkled streaks of dust and oil as he surveyed the young girl. " I ’ll put tires on every wheel you run Into control, day and night shifts.” he acknowledged with sweet cordial lty. "But I'm no horse-chauffeur, thanks; I guess I'll walk." "He Is a gentle pony.” she remon strated. “ Any one can drive him.” He turned a side glance toward the motionless car. "That’s all right, but I'm used to be ing killed other ways. I ’ll be going.” “ Jacl^ Rupert, do you mean to tell me that you will race with Lestrange every season, and yet you’re afraid to drive a fat cob?” cried the delighted Dick. “ I’m not telling anything. I had a chum who was pitched out by a horse he lost control of and broke his neck. I’m taking no chances." “ How many men have you seen break their necks out of autos?" “ That’s In business," pronounced Rupert succinctly. "I'm going on, Dar ling; It's only a two-mlle run.” “ Here, wait," Dick urged. “Emily, I'll stroll around to the stables with him and make one of the men drive him down. You don't mind my leav ing you?" "No," Emily answered. " I will wait for you." She might have walked back alone. If she had chosen. But Instead she sat down on a boulder near the hedge, folding her hands In her lap like a de mure child. The house was so dull, so hopelessly monotonous contrasted with this fresh, wind-tossed outdoors and Lestrange In his vigor of life and glamour of ultra-modern adventure. "You and Mr. Ffreneh are very good,” Lestrange said presently. "I am afraid I appreciate It more than Ru pert. though." "Is he really afraid of horses?” "I should not wonder; I never tried him But he Is amazingly truthful." Their eyes met across the strip of sunny «road as they smiled; again Emily felt the sudden confidence, the falling away of all constraint before the direct clarity of hts regard. You won your race,” she said Ir relevantly. " I was glad, Blnce you wanted It." "Thank you,” he returned with equal simplicity. "But I did not want It that way, so far as I was con cerned.” ’Yet, It was the next step?” "Yes, It was the next step I meant that one does not care to be victor because the leading cars were wreck ed.
