President J. c. Heating of the Pa cific division of the Bankhead highway returned yesterday morning from a special meeting of the presidents of the five divisions at Birmingham. Ala, beginning Jan. 3 and continuing for two days. The question of the loca- ton of the Bankhead route through Arizona was brought up and it was re- solved that tho route as located by the Pathfinder would be adhered to. Thus the route through Arizona will take in the towns of Florence and Phoenix.
 IL was also decided that tho asso- ciation would first construct the main route and complete 1t before taking up the branch routes, as has been sug- Gegted by many localities lying on pro- posed branch routes.
 Among the special business trans acted was the revision of the constitu- ton and bylaws by a special commi- tee composed of the presidents. Steps were taken for the appointment of Identification committees in each state to be traversed by the highway. A lady was appointed from each state to have charge of such a committee.

 But still he fought on, not daring to yield. He could no longer parry Grams ton's blows. The latters arms went
 around him in one of those deadly holds that wrestlers know; and Dan
 struggled in vain to free himself.
 Cranston's face itself seemed hideous
 and unreal in the mist that was creep
 ing over him. He did not recognize the curious humping sound as Grams
 tons fists on his flesh. And now Cranston had hurled him off his feet.
 Nothing mattered further. He had fought the best he could. This cruel beast could bounce on him at will and hammer away his life. But still he struggled. Except for the constant play Of his muscles, his almost un- conscious effort to free himself that kept one of Cranston's arms busy holding him down. that fight on the mountain path might have come to sudden end. Human bodies can stand a terrific punishment; but Dams was weakened from the ravages of his disease Besides. Cranston would soon nave DOth OOIh lCCI lIcc lOA the work. and when these four ter rible weapons are used at once, the issue-soon or late--can never be in doubt.
 Bur even now, consciousness still fingered. Dan could hear his enemy's curses-and far up the trail. he heard another, stranger sound. It sounded like some one running.
 And then he dimly knew that Cran- ston was, climbing from his body. Voices were speaking-quick, com manding voices just over him. Above Cranston's savage curses another voice rang clear, and to Dams ears, glorious beyond all human utterance.
 He opened his tortured eyes. The mists lifted from in front of them, and the whole drama was revealed. It had not been sudden mercy that had driven Cranston from his body, just when his victims falling would have put him completely in his power. Rather 1t was something black and ominous that even now was pointed sQuare1y at Cranston's breast.
 None too soon, a ranger of the hill had heard the sounds of the struggle, | and had left the trysting place at the | spring to come to Dams aid. It was ] very pale but wholly self | sufficient and determined and intent. | Her pistol was cooked and ready.

coldness, "an opportunity to take that back Just about four seconds" He stood very straight as he spoke and his eyes did not waver in the least. It would not be the truth to say
 that his heart was not leaping like a wild thing in his breast. A dark mist was spreading like madness over his brain; but yet he was striving to keep his thoughts clear. Stealthily, without seeming to do so. he was set ting his muscles for a spring
 The only answer to his words was a laugh-a roaring laugh Of scorn from Cranston's dark lips. In his laughter, his intent. catlike vigilance relaxed. Dan saw . chance; feeble though 1t was, it was the only chance he had. And his long body leaped like a serpent through the air.
 Physical superior though he wHs, Cranston would have repelled the at tack with his rifle if he had had a chance. His blood was already at the murder heat-a point always quickly reached in Cranston-and the dark, hot fumes in his brain were simply nothing more nor less than the most poisonous, bitter hatred. No other word exists. If his class of de generate mountain men had no other accomplishment, they could hate. All their lives they practiced the emotion: hatred of their neighbors. hatred of law. hatred of civilization in all its forms. Besides, this kind of hillman habitua1ly fought his duels with rifles. Hands were not deadly enough.
 But Dan was past his guard before he had time to raise his gun. The whole attack WIS one of the most astounding surprises of Cranston's life. Dams body struck his, his fists failed. and to protect himself, Cranston was obliged to drop the rife. They stag gered, as if in some weird dance. on the trail; and their arms ciasped in a clinch.
 For a long instant they stood strain ing, seemingly motfonless. Cranston's powerful body had stood up well under the shock Of Dams leap. It was a

DIRT HIGHWAYS ARE EASIEST
Unpaved Country Roads Cause Least
 sI.Wear on Tires, While 4Siaa Is +-<T Most Destructive.


 The much maligned dirt road finds a champion. in d Denver tire manufac- turer, who asserts that exhaustive tests show that the unpaved country road causes the least tire wear. But the road must be in good condition, with no ruts to wear against the side walls of the tire When properly dragged, the unpaved country road is found to generate less heat in the tire than any other type of road
 Slag roads were found to be most destructive to tires, the sharp points soon pitting the tread with my holes. With the test cars wheels a fraction of an inch out of alignment, the tires looked as if their tread had been sand papered after only few hours travel.
 Asphalt pavement was found to de- velop much heat. but little external wear.t Macadam roads in good condi- ton were found to be better than slag.

He couldn't have believed that hu- man face could be as white while life still remained, as. hers was then. All the lovely tints that had been such a delight to him, the play of soft reds and browns, had. faded as an after glow fades on the snow. r-~
 Dams glance moved with hers to Cranston. He was standing easily at a distance of a dozen feet; and except for the faintest tremble all over his body, muscular reaction from the violence of his passion, he had entire ly regained his self-composure. This was quite characteristic of the noun tain men. They share with the beasts passion of living that is wholly un- known on the plains; but yet they have certain quality of imperturbability known nowhere else. Nor is it limited to the natfve-born mountaineers. No man who intimately knows a member of that curious, keen-eyed little army of naturalists and big-game hunters who go to the north woods every fall, as regularly and seemingly as inex- orably as the waterfowl go in spring, can doubt this fact. They seem to have acquired from the silence and the snows an impregnation of that eterIal calm and imperturbability that is he wilderness itself. Cranston wasn't in the least afraid. Fear is usually a matter of uncertainty, and Fs knew exactly where he stood.

hand-to-hand battle now. The rifle had slid on down the hillside, to be caught in a clump of brush twenty feet below. Dan called on every ounce of his strength, because he knew what mercy he might expect if Cranston mastered him. The battles of the mountains were battles to the death.
 They flung back and forth, wrench ing shoulders, flashing fists, teeth and feet and fingers. There were no Mar Quis of Queensberry rules in this bat tie. Again and again Dan sent home his blows; but they all seemed inef- fectfve. By now, Cranston had com pletely overcome the moments advan- tage the other had obtained by the power of his leap. He hurled Dan from the c1inch and dashed at him with hard fists.
 It is a very common thing to hear of silent fight. But it is really a more rare occurrence than most peo- pie believe. It is true that serpents will often fight in the strangest. most eerie silence; but human beings are not serpents. They partake more of the qualities of the meat-eaters-the wolves and felines- After the first instant, the noise of the fight aroused the whole hillside. The sound of blows was in itself notable, and besides, both Jf the men were bowling the prin- ordial battle cries of hatred and ven- geance.
 For two long minutes Dan fought with the strength of desperation. sum- moning at last all that mysterious re- serve force with which all men are born. But he was playing a losing game The malady with which he had suffered had taken too much of his vigor. Even as he struggled, 1t seemed to him that the vista about him, the dark pines, the colored leaves of the perennial shrubbery, the yellow path

Bull Baitino-

This was a sport once popular in Esu gland, but declared illegal in 1885. s bull was attacked by dogs, and sometimes the nostrils of the bull were blown full of pepper to increase his fury. Another form of the sport was to fasten the bull to a stake by a long rope and then set bulldogs at him, one at time, which were trained to seize the bull by the nose The bulldog seems to have been developed for this sport from a short-eared mastiff called "alaunt."
