PORTUGUESE PIRACY.
One of the peculiar twists of our
commercial relations with the world
Is developing in Portugal. Under the
tow of that country the owner of a
trademark must prove Its use In Por
tugal to retain its benefit, says Othahii
Bee. An enterprising Portuguese luis
registered for himself in his native
land a large number of American au
tomobile trademarks, and proposes to j
proceed farther and have these recog
nized at the International trademark
bureau at Berne. Tills will give him
control of the sale of these machines
In 13 countries. Including the South
American countries with which we are
trying to develop trade. It sounds
like a comic opera situation, 'but
American automobile manufacturers
are desperately striving to bent this
suave pirate to the registration bu
reau. knowing that if they do not they
must settle with him or* carry on a
long and perhaps losing tight in court.
Other American manufacturers have
suffered In this manner through the
piracy of their trademarks. Portugal
is not much to look nt on the map. but
It contains the germ of great enter
prise.

'Ihe Kin clung to him and tried to
coax lilra, even drag him, back into
his chair. He seemed to be utterly
unaware of her weight. There was a

hunter's Face.
knife In Ills hand. Ills hollow ey.es
never left the I'earlhunter's face.
With nil the girl's assurance that
he was linrinless, that there was no
danger. It took all the I'earlhunter's
resolution to abide the coming of that
piunt apparition. His breath came
fast. He set the basket down on the
floor, dropped his hat beside It, and
kept his eye on the knife.
A pale fire burned away back In
the Wild Man's vacant eyes, and his
beard writhed with the quiver of his
features. He even raised bis hands
and ran tbcm over the I'earlhunter's
face, as a blind man might In search
ing for some recognizable feature.
Apparently he (lid not find it. The
pale fires died out of his eyes; his
face quivered: his breast seemed to
collapse; the tense silence shivered
with a groan. The Inrush of strength
that had seemed to dower his vast
frame wlfh Irresistible force fell
from him a* a mantle^ ne tottered
as the girl led him. like a tired child,
back to his chair.
Her father! The daughter of the
Wild Man!
He stepped aside out of the open
door and let the sun In. It streaked
across the floor and caught her
where she stooped over the old man's
chair.
She seemed for the moment to nave |
forgotten Ms1 "presence. He glanced
around tl.e cabin. It was really four
cabins-—four rooms—under one roof.
The door by which they had entered |
fared south, lie stood In the center I
room, or center cabin. A curtained
opening leil to another room on the
west: a similar opening, with the cur
tain looped back and tied with a bit
of ribbon, disclosed a room on the
east. A dosed door pave entrance to
the third room, probably the kitch
en. Jogged a little to allow for a win
dow near the northwest corner of the
center room.
His naze traveled to the fire place.
A revolver—a very dependable look
ing six-gnu—lay upon the mantel.
Above It, arranged across a draped
American flag, hung a silk sa*h, a
tasseled cord, a pair of silver spurs,
and a sword. Looped In the sword
hilt were two strands of ribbon, one
purple, the other gold. There came
a dim remembrance that he had once
heurd somewhere these were the col
ors of a famous regiment that sreat
ly distinguished itself in the Indian
wars.
The half minute or more he had
spent looking over the room had >riv
en him time to recover his calm, and
now his glance came back to the ruin
In the chair.
The Wild Man was whetting his
knife against his palm, mumbling and
muttering. He seemed to gloat over
the glitter of It—and the girl within
easy reach of his hand. The Pearl
hunter stiffened; gathered himself to
spring. She happened to look up,
caught his eye, and shook her head.
Seemingly unconscious of any danger,
she came to the door, picked up her '■
basket and his hat and put them on
.the table beside the vase of wild roses.
"You're not afraid?" asked the Pearl
hunter.
"He wouldn't harm a fly."
"Kut the knife?"
"Ha plays with It by the hour.
That knife." ag if weighing the
thought It raised. "Hi) koeua It with
~.~u and day. I lear oeatn win
sometime come of that knife!"
Ills eyes urged her to go on.
"Seven years he's been as yon see
him. Up to that time he was the most
wonderful father a girl ever had. He
wasn't gray until then, and he didn't
wear a beard. Those who knew hlra
then wouldn't know hlra now. It was
seven years ago this June—the twen
tieth. I remember It because It was
my birthday—I was twelve. That eve
ning I heard a groan at the kitchen
door. I rah out, and there was Dad
dy, holding to the door post to keep
from falling, his hands covered with
blood, and blood all over his face and
hair. I helped him In, washed oft the
blofid and discovered It came from n
wound in his head; I bound It up the
best I could and ran to the village for
the doctor.
"When ho came, he said Daddy had
been shot. There was a long scar—
like a groove—that the doctor said
was made by the bullet. It had caused
concussion of the brain. Since that
he has been like—this. The knife he
must have taken from the person that
shot htm, for he had none of his own.
It was clutched tight In nls hand when
I found him—the knife, and this—"
She beckoned him across the room
to the book case. It was the first car
pet tlse I'enrl Hunter had ever walked
over. He set his feet doxvu like a man
crossing thin Ice.
She fumbled out from behind a row
of books a small packet, with the cau
tion:
"You mustn't lot Daddy see It. He
will go wild If you do. I used to keep
It stuck behind the picture, but It
worked out Into sight one day. and he
drove the knife through it before I
could got it away from him. If he
ever finds the man It belongs to he'll
serve him the same way, I'm afraid.
Sometimes I think that's why he
haunts the woods—to see if he can find
him. There, you can see where the
knife went through."
She had been unwrapping a fold of
paper as she ta'ked. The sight of its
contents surprised a low exclamation
from the Pearlhiinter. If was a red
mask.
The IVorlhunter fingered* the bit
of stiff cloth lying across the girl's
palpi with such quick eagerness that
her eyes sought his face curiously. The
red mask! The slit of the knife near
an eye hole—no man in the Flatwoods
better able to read the story It told;
none better able to piece together the
fragments of that seven-year-old trag
edy.
I'p through the eye holes there
seemed to glow a pair of eyes—blue,
like blue Ice; eyes that glow black
when roused. He knew what they
looked like wlien the blue turned to
black.
Suddenly, wllhnut warning, a deep
groan set the silence asliiver. The
girl crammed the packet back behind
the books; the Peatihunter whirled.
The Wild .Man bod risen from his
chiiir and stood peering toward him
with wide, weird eyes. With a step
that was ghostly noiseless he crossed
the floor. Quite close he .came, his
dulled senses seeming to need the
stimulus of close contact Ills bony
hands and long arms were quivering;
his hollow face twitching pitifully.
"lie's never like tills," the girl
whispered.
The young man glanced nt her and
stood still. The thin hands fluttered
over his face and head. Even their
lightest touch was heavy with a
strength that must have been prodig
ious—as if the fires of his inalndy kin
dled a force in him more than human.
Some impulse of compassion must
have reached the heart of the Pearl
liunter, for he stretched his long nrm
forth and laid it about the old man's
shoulders. Instantly he felt the weight
of the gray giant upon him. It might
have been the one thing the stricken
man craved In his dumb way—the
touch of his kind; the prop of a man's
nrm.
The situation embarrassed the Pearl
hunter. It was like winning the con
fidence of a little child, and then not
knowing what to do with It
The girl was quick to see Ills embar
rassment, and, much as n mother
might coax n child away from some
one sho Imagined It was annoying, she
led the old man back to his chair;
then, leaving him. she hurried across
the room to the book ease.
"I never saw him so restless before,"
she said, as she passed by. "He seems'
to like yoti. though," she continued
while finding the book she wanted.
"Strange, too, for he's cross usually,
even to the doctor. Won't you excuse
me till I quiet him?"
Before he could reply she had found
the book and hurried back to the chair.
Opening it. she laid It upon the old
man's knees. He bent his head and
felt over the open page with his hand,
but the weird eyes could no longer re.
solve the frozen magic of the words.
He fidgeted !n bis ehair and tho hook

the Pearlliunter turned lils face

an almost unobstructed view into the
east room, the girl's room, and before
he realized it his eyes had strayed
past the cuKalns. Amazement held
them there a moment In spite of him.
The room, in striking contrast to what
he had seen of the rest of the house,
was almost bare of furniture—a car
