Quoted by the son of the Commissioner
of Pensions is National scandal. Two
members of the family, Green B. Raum,
senior and junior, hold the most import
ant offices in connection with the
Bureau of Pensions. The father, as
Commissioner, and one son. as chief Of
division, attend to the inside work on
claims, while the other son as chief OF
the pension agency submits them to be
passed on. 1t is with the members of
the family inside the bureau to decide
what claims shall be expedited and
what pigeon-holed.
Remember" says the Raum agency
circular, that under the law no fee is
payable until the claim is allowed and
paid" If the father allows and pays
the Raum agency claim, the son operat-
ing on the outside gets the fee at once.
How soon the son is to receive
his fees, or whether he is to receive
them at all or not, depends on the
fathers use or abuse of the authority OF
his Office.

make the plantation remunerative, he
sold it for small sum, and dividing
the proceeds with Cornelia, devoted
himself to tracing Hugh. At last, by
one of those accidents we ought to call
''providents," he discovered his broth

not far from the battlefield, and by
dint of rewards offered learned that the

trembling voice-''a grave where deco

God of the brave and the loyal had not

wilderness"
After leaving his brothers place Of
rest, Alexander had opened his knap-
sack and found in it Marion's letters
and her picture. AS Hugh had said, the
twin brothers were alike in every fiber,
and Alexanders heart opened at once to
enshrine the lovely woman Hugh had
adored and left for his country.
But what had he to offer her? Before
he dared endeayor to fill his brothers
place he must have home to which he
could ask Marion; he could not honora-
bly ask her to share his poverty, for it
was utter.

the band begin to send its wailing re-
