Ta the matter of the estate at Mary
Hayes, deceased. It la hereby agreed
that William a. Hayes shall receive til

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.

Thrift requires the ex- c

qualities without which you cannot achieve the success in
life which it is your ambition to achieve and for the lack o
which you are likely to suffer in later years.
The money you acquire by thrift you are asked to

to you when you may need, it far more than you
do now, and yowwilf be paid interest for its use.
This war is a frightful thing, but it may prove of inestima

Esctric blasting
mi ISTUMPiNGWirQRfCULTURAlj!
The use of an electric blasting machine results in
economy. 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
