WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-One of the
most important rulings made by the COM
missioner of pensions in late years, in
that it affects the masses of the soldiers
of the country, is that Issued to-day by
Commissioner Tanner to the chiefs of
divisions in the pension bureau. What
it does Is to extend the limitations in
regard to competent witnesses to such an
extent that this great and constantly
growing bar to the granting of pensions
is almost obliterated. AS the years roll
on, and so many of the soldiers of the
late war have died, it becomes difficult
for applicants for pensions to furnish
proof in regard to origin OF disability.
Under the rules of the pension Office in
the past the evidence of one commission
ed officer or one orderly sergeant was re-
CURED In the event of inability to
furnish this evidence the testimony of
two private soldiers was required. The
order of the commissioner to day extends
this latter stipulation TO 1.-THE claimant
and one private SOLDIER" or, in the y ords

So this little Dolores was without father

Blanche explained the presence OF the lit

to tell the truth in this case, and, according

This was quite enough to waken Natalie,

yet pleased child, exclaiming as she did so:

CHAPTER XIV.

PLAY THE FOOL, AND LEARN THE TRUTH.
When Lydia and the old Marquis had
concluded that nothing further could be
done toward rescuing the Princess, they
held consultation with Louvait. The re-
suit of this was the unanimous decision that
not only was IT better, but also absolutely
necessary, that the news Of the affair should
be kept from the public-especially from
the newspapers,
To Lydia and the Marquis this seemed inn
possible. But Louvait assured them that il
they would place the matter entirely in his
hands he would guarantee that the story
would soon die natural death
With his usual clevcrncss and unscrupu-
lousness in distortng the truth, he imme-
diately circulated report which. on the
face Of il, appeared so plausible and proba-
bic, SO satisfactory an explanation of the
extraordinary disappearance of the Prin-
cess, that all who had heard about it at once
accepted ii as truth, laughed at themselves
for their unnecessary interest and horror,
and under the supposition that the Princess
was with her family at Lake Maggiore,
dropped their talk and soon forgot entirely
about the supposed abduction.
Katalio's family, with rare good sense,
acting under the advice of the detective
and of Lydia, kept the secret so well that
no one outside of the palace knew any
thing at all of the Princess disappearance.
And soon to those who had heard Of st. at
all, the abduction of the Princess Natalie
Radziwill was thing of the past,
This was juss what Jean Louvait wanted.
Not a single newspaper even referred to
the supposed false report which died shortly
after it's birth. Louvait rejoiced.

place of mailing it was impossible to even

ngpolicy.
Natalie's missiye was short.

interview was the unwilling, yet almost in
inevitable formation Of theory upon her
part theory that her whole heart was set
upon rejecting, if possible. Still she was
forced to recognize it as so probable as well
as plausible that peace of mind could never
be hers until it were disproved.
Accordingly, one day she went TO her

to America.
The Countess stared in surprise.
