Ta the matter of the estate at Mary Hayes, deceased. It la hereby agreed that William a. Hayes shall receive til htch ha advanced to Michael Hayes. whlls Michael Hayas la to receive th balance of the stats.' "There's no news Talus la It. said the busy clerk as hs filed ths papers away for record. "It's not sven worth line la the city news column." And all record of ths estate of Mary Hayes, deceased, would have passed unnoticed were It not for the fact that ths faintest trace of moisture could be in In ths eyes of ons of ths wit nesses who had appeared In court. Here la the story: On a Winter's night. If years ago. ths horns of Michael and Mary Hayes s torn with grief. The death angel had descended upon ths little home and taken a curly-haired baby daughter. The care-worn mother and sad-hearted father were frantic Ths ons bright ray of sunshine In ths little home had been taken from them for all time. Their, hearts were bowed down with a great sorrow. To appease ths mother love of the broken-hearted mother. Michael Hayes arranged to adopt a baby even before the baby girl's coffin had . .en borne underground. Two nights later thers arrived at ths Hayes horns a chubby little baby boy. but a few weeks old. It was taken to the home by the late Dr. O. P. 8. Plummer. Mrs. Hayes clasped ths little boy to her breast and claimed It as her own. Tears sped by and there grew to ro bust boyhood and young manhood this little waif of unknown parentage. whom Dr. Plummer had secured from the Good Samaritan Hospital. William G. Hayes was the nams his foster par ents gave him. and carefully did they keep from him all knowledge of the fact "iat ha waa a foundling. As William O. Hayes be was known to his friends throughout the city. And after he had completed his education and had started upon his own battle ot life, he married. It was a Portland girl he wedded, a daughter of well-known Portland residents. Later they moved to California, where WHIIam O. Hayes lean soldier. e e e Tws rears ago last January Mrs. Mary Hayas died In this city. Bhe left a modest little estate of f!200. The usual court procedure waa carried out and the estate was soon to bs mivlded between Michael Hayes, ths survrvtnt husband, and William O. Hayes, sur viving son. But before the estate could be closed neighborhood gossip became busy. The secret which ths mother had so well guarded from her foster son soon spread about. It culminated recently when Michael Hayes filed a petition In the County Court asking that hs be made the sole heir at law of his widow's 12200 estate. It was then that he bared to public record the fact that William O. Hayes i waa not of his own blood; that the boy. now grown to manhood, waa but foundling, whom a kindly physician had brought Into the home to relieve ths pain when a flaxen-haired baby girl bad passed on. "Hs Is not the son of Mary Hayes." Id Michael, ths foster parent. "He not even an adopted son, for we never went through ths legal formal ity of adopting the baby. Ws simply had him christened as William O. Hayes. Further than that our legal responsibility ends.' It Is not so." responded the young man. "I am the son of Mary and Michael Hayes." Hs could not believe that after all these years he waa to be Judged an outcast. He could not believe his ears. Hs demanded proof that he was foundling. This proof was furnished In Judge Taxwell's court. Michael Hayes is to receive the entire estate. while William G. Hayes, the foundling. who took the place of the baby girl who died, will receive no share of the little legacy. Agreement waa reached that Michael FTayes was to repay William G. Hayes the sum of 160, It was this amount that the young man had advanced to his elder to keep up payments on life insurance. Nor Is he to benefit by this Insurance when Michael Hayes passes on and leaves only William G. Hayes to-wonder whether or not his father and mother are still living, and who : nd where they are. 4-n CnlamulaV. . "urrv. ...... 1 -k !. . lH-U. ..,, .mm......

It reduces the amount of powder required often by 10 to 20. With it you can shoot several stumps or other blasts at one time. Yon can lire several lighter shots tinder a difficult stump or rock with better effect and less trouble than with a single large charge. It is the only reliable means of explod ing charges under water. Safety favors electrical blasting. There are fewer mis- -tires and no bang-fires. Should a misfire occur, all danger of explosion is over when you disconnect the srires from the machine. As you can time blasts to the second, traffic along roads is not held up unneces sarily. i The fmaTtaf Becrrle Bhwdnr racklne int IhdWeMWfewWBtaifasa sreifbf but nx pound and coa it MTett on a Job Is s rcty lew Savfe Any ae ess work all Hzet of thi tfunpie. bandy sucbine.
