WASHINGTON, April IL. - Incentive

norters through passage OF the Admin
istration merchant marine bill to have
tneir goods carried in American vessels
with the result that ship owners would

Beecher. counsel for the Shipping Board.
declared at to-day's session Of the joint
Congressional hearings on the measure.
One section OF the bill would permit
any person to deduct from MS income
taxes per cent OF the amount Of ocean
freight money paid by him during the
year for transportation of goods between
the United States and foreign countries
in American bottoms.
While no direct benefit would accrue
10 the ship owner under this provision.
MIR. Beecher said. IT was hoped the sec
tion would prove of more benefit to the
owner than the receipt OF an equal
amount of money.
The income tax deduction provision Is
in measure substitute for section 80
OF the Jones shipping act Of 1920. never
put into effect which provided prefer
entail tariffs on products imported In
American ships. Explaining that sec
ton "a would have applied only to duti-
able imports. which he said comprise
not more than one-thlrd Of the total
volume of imports. Mr.. Beecher said this
section would have had no application to
exports and no tendency to secure car

bound
The tax deduction provision would d.
rectIy benefit all sections of the country
in importing or exporting. The farmer.

ducer as we'll as the manufacturer, he
added, would all directly benefit in the
deduction.
The committees were informed the es-
tlmated total cost to the Treasury under
this section would not exceed $4,000. 900
per annum and at present the cost would
be much less.

The dawn revealed a narrow road
along the bank Of Deer creek--a
brown little wanderer which, winding
here and there, did not seem to know
exactly where it wished to go. Bruce
didn't know which direction to take,
whether up or down the creek.
He gave the problem. a moments
thought. 'Take the road up the
Divide" Barney Wegan had said and
at once Bruce knew that the course
lay up the creek, rather than down.
A divide means simply the high places
between one watershed and another,
and Of course Trails End lay some
where beyond the source of the stream.
The creek itself was apparently a
sub-tributary Of the Rogue. the great
river to the south.
Bruce was in mood to be delighted,
these early morning hours He was on
the way to Linda; a dream was about
to come true. The whole adventure
was Of the most thrilling and joy
Gus anticipations. He did not feel
the load Of his heavy suitcase. It
was nothing to his magnificent young
strength. N
The sun rose higher, and be began
to feel its power. The sweat came
out on his bronze face, but he never
felt better In his life. There was but
one great need, and that was break
fast. IF t .s..s (.
A man Of his physique feels hunger
quickly. The sensation increased In
intensity, and the suitcase grew cor
respondingly heavy. And all at once
he stopped short In. the road. The
impulse along his; nerves to his leg
muscles was. checked, like an cleo
trio current at the closing Of a switch,
and an instinct Of unknown origin

CHAPTER VI

Martins was typical little noun
tain store, containing a small sample
Of almost everything under the sun,
and built at the forks In the road.
Bruce entered slowly, and the little
group Of loungers gazed at him with
frank curiosity.
Only one Of them was Of type
sufficiently distinguished SO that
Bruce's own curiosity was aroused.
This was huge, dark man who stood
alone almost at the rear Of the build
Ing veritable giant with savage.
bloodhound lips and deep-sunken eyes.
There was quality In his posture
that .tpcted Bruce's attention at
once. sss6 one could look at him and
doubt that he was power in these
mountain realms.
He was dressed much as the other
mountain men who had assembled in
the store. He wore a flannel shirt over
his gorilla chest, and corduroy trou-
sers stuffed into high, many-seamed
riding boots.
The dark eyes were full upon
Bruce's face He felt them-just as
II they had the power Of actual physic-
al impact--the instant that he was
inside the door. Nor was it the
ordinary look Of careless speculation
or friendly interest. It was such that
no man, to whom self-respect is dear,
could possibly disregard. It spoke
clearly as words. Isl! sss5..E
Bruce flushed, and his blood made
curious little leap! He slowly
turned. His gaze moved until 1t rested
full upon the mans eyes. It took all
Of Bruce's strength to hold that gaze.
The moment was charged with a mys-
terious suspense.
The strangers face changed too. He
did not flush, however. His lips curled
ever so slightly, revealing an instant's
glimpse of strong, rather well-kept
teeth. His eyes were narrowing too /;
and they. seemed to come to life with
! singular sparkles and glowings ,be-
between the lids. i
"Well?' he suddenly demanded.
Every. man in the room except one
started. The one exception was
Bruce himself. He was holding hard
on his nerve control, and he only con-
tinued to stare coldly.
"Are you the merehant?" Bruce
asked. Sd
'No, I amt, the other replied. .tYou
usually look for the merchant behind
the counter" 81
There was no smile on the faces Of
the waiting mountain men, usually to

CHAPTER "

The train came to sliding halt
at Deer Creek, paused an infniteslmal
fraction of second, and roared on In
its ceaseless journey. That infinitesi-
NAL fraction was long enough for
Bruce, poised on the bottom step of a
sleeping car, to swing down on to the
gravel right-of-way. His bag, hurled
by sleepy porter, followed him.
Duncan's next impression was one
Of infinite solitude. He hadn't read
any guidebooks about Deer Creek, and
he had expected some sort Of town.
But here was one little wooden struc-
ture with only three sides,-th open
ing facing the track. It was evidently
the waiting room used by the noun
tain men as they waited for their
local trains.
There We're no porters to carry his
bag. There were no shouting officials.
His only companions were the stars
and the moon and, farther up the
slope, certain tall trees that tapered
to incredible points almost in the re-
gion where. the stars began.
The whole scene, for causes deeper
than any words may ever seek and re-
veal. moved him past any experience
in his life. It was wholly new.
He turned about until the wind was
in his face. It was full Of fragrances,
strange, indescribable smells that
seemed to call up a forgotten world.
They carried a message to him. but as
yet he hadn't made out its meaning.
He only knew 1t was something mys-
ferrous and profound ): great truths
|, that flickered, like dim lights, In his
!, conscio usness, but whose outline he
could not qnite discern.
Perhaps there were sounds. but the,
only seemed part Of the: silence. I'M

nan who hears the dinner call In his
own home, he struck OF into the
sthickets beside the creek bed. In
stinct-and really, after all, instinct
is nothing but memory-led his steps
true.
He glanced here ard there, not even
wondering at the singular fact that
he did not know exactly what manner
Of food he was seeking. In mo-
ment he came to growth Of thorn
covered bushes, thicket that only
the she-bear knew how to penetrate.
But It was enough for Bruce Just
70 stand at It's edges. The bushes
we.s bent down with a load Of de.
icious berries.
He wasn't in the least surprised. He
had known that he would find them.
Always, at this season Of the year, the
woods were rich with them; one only
had to slip quickly through the back
door-while the mothers eye was else.
where-to find enough Of them not
only to pack the stomach full but to
stain and discolor most Of the face.
But it seemed to him that he reached
them easier than he expected. Either
the bushes were not SO tall as he re-
membered them. or-since his first
knowledge Of them-his own stature
had increased.
When he had eaten the last berry
he could possibly hold, he went to
the creek to drink. He lay down be-
side still pool, and the water was
cold to his lips. Then he rose at the
sound Of an approaching motor car
behind him.
The driver evidently a cattleman-
stopped his car ana looked at Bruce
with some curiosity. He marked the
perfectly fitting suit Of dark flannel,
