But some thing in the poise of his bright head echoed that "all right.” Mr. Green went on. and Interiered no more dur ing the journey. The speed carnival held upon the • uperb two-mlle track was to extend over three days. The contests were of warted types and classes, but the Mer cury was entered for at least one event ar.d frequently several, on each day. "Aren’t there any Atalanta cars en tered, at all?” Floyd wondered, on the first morning at the track. "None.” Stan’on assured. "Then I won't need to burn a joss •tick.” "What for?” "Luck.” said Floyd sweetly; and re fused to explain. Their luck held good. They had neither Illness nor serious accident to mar thefr s< rles of victories and trials. For Stanton drove as If by inspira tion, and many of the honor« of the carnival remained with him. "You’ve struck the perfect course, etanton,” declared a famous rival, upon offering hts congratulations after suffering a masterly defeat in a five- mil« contest.
