Floyd was engaged in blocking out

look up: he appeared even more RI

But something in the poise of his
bright head echoed that ''all right. .
Mr. Green went on. and interfered
no more during the journey.
The speed carnival held upon the
superb two-mile track was to extend
over three days. The contests were
of varied types and classes, but the
Mercury was entered for at least one
