AZ this Moment the door Of Jeiihy's
room opened, and Philip entered
briskly. He gave careless glance at
Haggleton, murnured, Excuse me Il

The moment Philip found the ham,
mer and departed Haggleton said ex-
citedly:
"You need not tell me! l need no
proof. I know-the eyes, the chin, es-
pecially the eyes! For twenty years
haven't slept without seeing those
eyes"
He started impetuously for the door,
but Gentle intercepted him.
"Stop!" he commanded. "Not yet.
II you speak to him now, you will re-
greet II"
"He Is my son, he Is mine! He sails
with Tile oil my yacht within an hour"
Gentle stood before the door with
outstretched arms.
Wait" he continued. You don't
know all yet. Here, read this"
He produced all envelope from his
pocket and handed 1t to Haggleton,
who snatched it from hin, and opened
it impatiently. 1t contained two pa

one hastily. then suddenly sat down.
"My Cod" he whispered.

Kidney Disease h
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back, b
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys p

There Is no question about that
at all-for the lame and aching
back Is caused by diseased con-
dition Of the kidneys and bladder.
1t Ia only common sense, any way
that you must cure a condition
by removing tho cause Of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms Of arrangement OF the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and un-
mistakable indications of moro or
less dangerous condition. Some OF
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart IT.
regularity, nerves on edge sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-

Tired as she was, depressed by the
knowledge that she had lost Philip,
she began to set the howell to rights.

firmly Convinced that it was she who

Haggleton's secretary, man OF mid

Haggleton hardly raised his voice,
his face barely changed, as he bit out
the words:

The man retired hastily. Gentle
looked uneasy. But Philips next
words recalled him to the new turn
affairs had suddenly taken.

blank amazement-"are you John j.

C:entle-"did you think that his name

NO, Philip. But there was rea.

explained smoothly. Il want to study

what you were saying. And. mind

Talk quick"
But Philip only shook his head.
"Thats the way with you rich peo-
pie" he commented in deep discOur-
agement. "You think that you can
settle anything and everything by
signing a check. Well. Mr.. Haggleton,
that is your great mistake-of all OF
you. You can't do 1t. The only real
help for tie poor comes through love,
ami you cannot pay some one to love
for you. You might as well pay some
one to eat for you, or breathe for you,
or sleep for you"
The young man waited for a mo-

closing argument Then with flash
Of inspiration he concluded:
you've got to do your loving your
self"
Haggleton started, looked at him In
tently, shifted his gaze to Gentle's
face and repeated thoughtfully, slowly:
\ you've got to do your loving your
self. I never thought Of that"
Haggleton paused, then went on:
"a man with the right stuff in him
can win out against poverty just as
well today as he ever could"
"a man like Moran" Philips voice
was incredulous.
"Who Is !doran? asked Haggleton.
"Your tenant here"
"He had small oil business In the
west" explained Gentle. Your system
absorbed it. Now he's bakers as
sistant."
Haggleton got up again and walked
around the room.

So this was Haggleton-the "Joti

fields and coal fields, OF iron mines and
railroads aud steamship lines, Of banks
and trust companies; the man whose
power was felt in Europe and in Asia

Gentle saw before him q burly man
of sixty, gray haired, with bristling
gray mustache waXed at the ends, a
man dressed with unobtrusive taste.
But it was the face that commanded
his attention. The steeIy eyes had
held him from the first. He now noted
the stern brow, with the fold between
the eyebrows; the iron jaw, the lines
at the corners of the grim mouth. the
straight, short nose, which suggested
Kitchener.
But the old diver, accustomed tc
picking strong, healthy men for the
dangerous work Of which he had
charge, saw something else which the

Gentle drew q bundle of papers from

Haggleton took the first letter, opened
it and glanced at it. He shot curl

workingman seated opposite him and
opened second one.
This he read carefully, the pallor of

The PASSING OF AN
OTHER AGED PIONEER

Since our last issue death has
claimed another of our already toe
slender stock OF pioneers. Benjamin
Mensch, so well and favorably
known in this city, died on last Sun
day at the family residence on
Tenth street. Born January 2, 1881
he was at the time of his death rs
years and nearly six months old. He
crossed the plains in 1851 being at
that time scarcely more than 20
years of age, and since that date, he
has been among the pioneers and
home builders Of the Pacific Coast,
the men who subdued the wilderness,
erected counties and states and furn-
ished them with public schools and
a higher type of government, dedi-
eating their sons and daughters to
the maintaining of these noble in
stitutions. He located first in Cali
fornia and spent some years as a
miner in the northern part of that
state. In the Indian troubles he
volunteered his services to the
United States government, acting in
that most dangerous calling of a
scout. In the early sixties he came
to this part Of Oregon and since that
time has lived here, honored for his
many sterling qualities of manhood.
His was life of usefulness, injur-
ing no man and known throughout
wide circle as faithful and honest
citizen.
He leaves a wife, Mrs. NJ. J.
Mensch, and one son, Fred Mensch,
of this city. His only surviving
brother, J. NJ. Mensch, lives at Mosh-
erville, Mich. He was twice married.
Step-children by the first marriage
are NJ W. Wheeler, of Phoenix. Ore;
Mrs. r. Fl. Gilfillian, of this city, and
Mrs. R. w. Person, of Greeley, Colo
BY the second, r. L. Demaree and
Mrs. G. w. Thissell, of Winters
Cal; Mrs. f. p, Mitchell, of Oak
land, Cal, and r. f. Demaree, of
Grants Pass.

DEALERS PREDICT
HAY WILL BE $50 TON
Get Ready 10 Grow Late Forage by
the Aid OF Irrigation and Save
on the Hay Bill.

Hay and grain is going to be a
serious question with all who have
stock to feed this coming winter.
The dry weather has cut all kinds OF
forage crops short and the result will
be that hay and grain will be high.
Dealers predict that hay will be $50
ton the coming winter and they
claim that they are unable to make
contracts at any price as there is a
general shortage in all the hay sup
plying districts of the state.
In view of the present conditions
II Is important that all kinds of land
around Grants Pass that can be put
under irrigation before August
should be put in some kind OF quick
forage crop. It will be necessary
to look after seed at once, as deal
ers in this city have little, If any,
on hand. Get your land ready for
irrigation. It will be necessary to
construct laterals and grade down
the land so that 1t can be put under
water. This matter must certainly
be looked after without delay. The
Courier has sent to the State Agri-
cultural College for full information
regarding the best forage crops for
late sowing and these will be publish
ed as soon as received.

The Philosophy of Life.

Did it ever occur to you that 2
mans life is full of crosses and temp
tations? He comes into the world
without his consent and goes ont
against his will and the trip between
is exceedingly rocky. The rule or
contraries is one of the features of
this trip.
When he is little, the big girls kiss
him. When he is big, the little girls
kiss him. If he is poor, he is a bad
manager, If he is prosperous, everv
one wants to do him favor. If he
is In politics, 1t is for graft. n he
Is out of politics, he is no good to
his country. If he doesn't give TO
charity, he is stingy cuss. If he
does, 1t is for show. If he Is actively
religious, he is hypocrite. If he
takes no interest in religion, he is a
hardened sinner, II he gives affec-
tion, he is a soft specimen. If he
cares for no one, he is a cold-blooded
man. II he dies young, there is a
great future for him. If he lives to
old age he missed his calling.
II you save money, you are a
crouch;
II you spend it, you are a loafer.
If You get 1t, you are CRATER;
