 And before Fairchild could retort, he had turned and was scrambling down the mountain side.

 You did 1t on purpose?" Sam Her benfelder shook a scrawny fist under Harry's nose. The big Cornishman waved 1t aside as one would brush away an obnoxious fly.

 Someone seized a small, dead pine which lay on the ground near by. Others helped to strip 1t of the scrag- gly limbs which still slung to 1t.

 Fairchild whirled at a voice by his side and looked straight into the crooked eyes of Thornton Fairchilds enemy. The blue-white scar had turned from swollen, blood-stained veins, the evil, thin, crooked lips were working in sullen fury. They were practically alone at the mouth of the mine, Fair child with a laugh dying on his lips, Rodaine with all the hate and anger and futile malice that human being can know typified in his scared. hawk like features. A thin, taloned hand came upward, to double, leaving one hony, curved finger extending in en- phasis of the words which streamed from the slit of mouth:
 Funny. weren't you? Played your cheap jokes and got away with 'em. But everybody ain't like them fools! T" he pointed to the crowd just rounding the rocks. Harry bobbing in the fore ground.

ed by the bureau in cooperation with Tennessee officials on a number of roads in Davidson county, in which Nashville is located, shows surprising facts when compared with similar count in 1916. During this period au- tomObile registrations have doubled, while the number of motor vehicles on the road is five times as great as in 1916. In 1916 horse-drawn and mo- tOr-vehicle traffic were almost equal Tn volume In 1921 horse-drawn traffic had decreased only slightly in volume and constituted 16 per cent of the traf- fic, motor vehicles constituting S4 per cent.
 Observations in this and other coun. ties lead to the conclusion that volume of traffic may increase in much great CT proportion than the number of mo. tor vehicles and will also depend to a large degree on the condition of i'm provement of the road and on the eco homie conditions in the adjacent ter ritory.

primeval instinct TO conquer" will he
typlfled in its most modern form wher
the American and British auto polo
teams clash in daily contests in con-
junction with the Seminole Sun
Dance, March Is, 10 and II.
The spirit of winning, which is tyu-
ical of the competitive element OF
auto polo, is an instinct brought down
from ages. The record books and
patent offices show that Ralph Hank
inson invented auto polo, but history
says that back in the stone age, some
thing which resemble1 auto polo was
played by cave-men who mounted din
asaurs and with huge battle clubs
tried their skill on malleting stones
from place to place.
AS presented by the original Amer
lean and British teams, there is COM
edy, excitement and thrills in the
game of auto polo. Fun to see the
skeleton Fords do death dances for
the husky athletes who man them;
excitement to see them crash and turn
over with spills and thrills.
The conservation committee may be
expected to investigate this ruthless
wrecking of crashing autos. The
crowd calls for 'more more" 1t
cares not for broken wheel, springs
b.own out tires and bent and spent
flames.
Ralph Hanhison, originator of auto
polo, has been secured to referee the
contests which are a part of the al
rual Seminole Sun Dance celebration

GREB AND GIBBONS
WILL CLASH TONIGHT

New York, March ia decisive
result is hoped for tonight in the clash
at Madison Square Garden between
Tom Gibbons of St. Paul and Harry
Greb of Pittsburgh, in their scheduled
15-rcund bout. Gibbons. by virtue of
his weight advantage, has been estab-
lished the favorite. They are recog-
nized as two of the best light-heavy-
weights since Battling Levinsky lost
his lustre at the hands of Georges
Carpentiera
The men are to weigh in at 172 but
it is generally expected Greb will be
several pounds under this poundage.
in addition, the St. Paul scrapper has
an advantage of two inches in reach
and more than four inches in height.
Both Gibbons and Greb are expected
to try desperately for sleep producers.
Greb, who has been fighting since
1913, has 2S knockouts to his credit.
TO his discredit is a knockout at the
hands of Joe Chip, who dropped him
in two rounds in his first fighting year.
Gibbons. who also began fighting in
1913. has knocked out 40 men and has
never been counted out. Tonight's
meeting will be the fourth fight be-
tween Gibbons and Greb. Tonight's
