A Reasonable Request

There is just a hint of pathos in
the request of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh that his second son be permit
ted the obscurity which should be the
birthright of every child. One of the
finest, bravest gentlemen Of our gen.
Grafton, the colonel seeks for this
child, who must mean a great deal
to him indeed, the right to live his
own life without having news pho
tographers, reporters and special
writer's under foot at every turn.
1t is not to be expected that the re-
quest will be honored completely but
certainly Col. Lindbergh deserves the
consideration for which he has asked
and the public will not resent it if
little more is heard of the new Lind
bergh baby. 1t will be willing enough,
in view of the suffering through
which the Lone Eagle and his wife
recently have passed, to accept no
news as good news.
Not in many years has the birth of
any child been greeted with such
general public satisfaction as is the
case with this new arrival. Never
before in the history of America has
birth attracted such interest and
pleasure.
The reason, of course, is plain. No
other couple in our times is half so
we'll loved as Charles and Anne.
When they were dragged by tragedy
into depths such as few parents have
plumbed, the heart of America went
with them.
Now happiness returns, for every
mother knows that Charles and Anne
will no longer be quite so sad as they
were before their second son arrived.
His tiny fingers clutching at her
breast will cause Mrs. Lindbergh to
think of the future rather than of
the past. His COOS and gurgles will
dim, at least little, the memory of
that other childish voice now stilled
in death.
This child, by his very presence,
will accomplish for the Lindberghs
something which all the rest of the
world was unable to do. With the
strength Of giant, he Grapes cur
tain over the past and offers himself
as something for them to think about.
For the Lindberghs there could be
no better remedy, for this child is
natures prescription to heal wound
which would not have responded half
so well to any other treatment.

PEACE
But it's the old lady at the Lloyd's
Harbor Light with whom I'd like to
change places for a year.
There's nice little story about
her. For many a year, the tale goes,
her boy was the lighthouse keeper.
He died. Not long afterward, the
government decided to change the
lighthouse location from the point to
the mid-channel. The old house re-
manned at the point-a charming
place with something Of Cape Cod
and something of Normandy and
something Of itself. The old lady
stayed. The government allows her
to live there. She rows ito shore"
for her supplies.
You'll see her knitting of after
moons on the quaint porch, with its
surrounding wall of huge stone;
walking her two dogs along the beach
cluttered with clam diggers; attend
ing to a garden that struggles with
sandy soil. Here is peace and color
full panorama of boats and water
here is complete detachment and a
kinship with the elements!

SYNOPSIS

Ted Radcliffe is called to Verdi, a
small village on the Mexican border,
by Bob HARNESS. his late fathers
friend. Radcliffe Senior had lost 4
fortune in Mexico years before. At
a party given by Major Blount of
the U. S. Army, Ted meets Pace
Morales, ruling power of Mexico,
and his beautiful niece. Adela. Mo-
rales tells how FL Coyote, the mys-
FERROUS bandit, killed a man about
to reveal his hideaway. Ell Coyote
steals from the rich, particularly
Morales, and gives to the poor. As
Major Blount announces that the
u. S. cavalry will join in the search
for the bandit, Bob arrives.

CHAPTER VII

But DR.. Price interrupted. THAT
sort of thing plumb wearies me
il you don't mind my saying so.
What have we to do with Ell Coyote
so long as he keeps away from prop
erty OIL this side of the line It's just
making Blounts cavalry a private
detective agency for Morales"
The major was non-committal.
"All that may or may not be true.
But I'll be glad of little activity
for the boys. Personally. I don't
give single damn one way or an
other, but running him down will
add little variety to life"
That's no good reason" objected
the doctor.
Don Bob smiled. "Its the best of
reasons, Price. Man hunting has al
ways been a popular sport. Besides,
we all believe that our mysterious
Coyote is an American, and why
shouldn't Americans have the fun
of killing him?"
"NVill they catch him?" asked
Adela.
ooh, as to that" DR.. Price con-
sidered a moment. "They may not
catch him, my dear, but in any case
I think it means the end of FL
Coyote"
"How" Several voices asked in
unison.
"Well, it makes the odds against
him too strong. The Mexican SOL
diers weren't really dangerous. They
actually sympathize with him. for
after all, they are poems, and it is
the poems that FL Coyote has always
befriended. But for our soldiers the
chase will be just game, and they
will give tongue like a pack of
hounds smelling blood"
"Of course we'll get him." added
the major confidently. $50 far as
the merits of your disagreement go,
l haven't an opinion in the world.
Ell Coyote may be a noble protector
OF the poor or just a plain cattle
thief. All I know is I'm under orders
to run down bandit gang, and. be-
lieve me, I welcome any change.
from drill and monotouy."
"Have you heard of last nights
murder. Bob7" asked the doctor.
"No."
"a peon gave information on the
bandit and collected Morales thou
sand dollars. That same night he
was found by . squad of Mexican
soldiers dead in the trail"
Don Bob nodded thoughttuily.
"That would happen. of course. Did
the Coyote leave any souvenir"
Again Morales raised expressive
hands. THAT is most interesting.
The soldiers found Lopez's body
just below where the road pitches
down from the mesa. They dis
mounted. Picture, my friends, that
group, so silent in the moonlight,
looking down on one who the night
before had guided them to the band
it camp. In black fear they stood
there. Then from the cliff someone
laughed, and there they see on his
white horse Fl Coyote watching
them. He waved. he laughed again,

full OF the gold coins he had taken.

tell him tonight" he said At last.
and slowly walked across the room
to where Radcliffe stood beside
Adela Morales chair. For a time
he looked thoughtfully at the pow
erful figure, the sweep Of the
shoulders, the giant column of his
neck and thick, close-cropped hair.
He stepped forward and laid his
hand lightly on Ted's shoulder
Rotten luck I had to be out of
town when you arrived. Something
imperative. Then this little girl came
to my rescue, and Aunt Clara prom
ised to see that you wouldn't be
bored tonight"
"I've been treated like an old
friend because everyone remembers
dad. I was telling Miss Morales a
little about him. You'd have loved
him." He looked for confirmation at
Don Bob. Wouldn't she?"
All women had a way Of loving
your father-he was extremely low
able"
Something in the man's voice
made Radcliffe look down at the
erect figure beside him. A sudden
flood of memory swept over him.
He remembered hearing Of the man
who had loved his mother once and
who later, when she married his
father. had disappeared into the
West. He realized now who that
man had been. Yet it seemed UNI
real and unbelievably sad that this
man with grazing hair had once
loved and suffered and been young.
So. for a queer, swift moment those
two men looked At each other, each
conscious that he held in his brain
knowledge that could bring the
other pain.
The girl broke the silence. "Ifs

Don Bob smiled and hurried
across the room to help Aunt Clara
with the bridge tables.

seif-collapsing tables was an enemy
OF society" Aunt Clara complained.
She yielded the table to Don Bob

Wrestling of Rough Type
Was Leading Event in
Ancient Games.
Pn Science Sernice

BJ Science Service
XXTRESTLING and boxing were
w prominent in the ancient
Olympics. The ancients liked virile
sports and both pugilism and
wrestling were natural outgrowths
of the days when mans best weap-
ons were his fists and his skill in
personal combat.
Long before organization of the
formal national athletic games at
Olympia and elsewhere in Greece,
both wrestling and boxing were well
established. Professor Walter w.
Hyde, Of the University of Penn
sylvania, has found that wall paint
ings in Egypt dating from about
1000 B. G. show nearly all the grips
and throws now known in wrestling.
Boxing is perhaps second to
wrestling in antiquity, and myth
ology shows that in Greece it was
far older than Homer. In Greek
myths some of the gods themselves
were famous boxers. Apollo is said
to have beaten the war god Ares
at Olympia.
Statues, vase paintings, and other
forms of Greek art have preserved
details of ancient contests just as
tn talkies record the championship
bouts Of today.
Judged by modern standards, box
ers in Greece used gloves that would
make modern pugilists Shudder.
Early in Greek athletic history, So
called soft gloves were used. These
consisted of long, thin ox-hide
thongs wound around the hands.
The gloves were worn to increase
the force of the blows and not to
deaden them. After the fifth
century, B. c., heavy gloves were in
fashion. Even more formidable
than the soft gloves" the heavy
gloves consisted of thick bands of
leather covering the first joints of
the fingers and they were fastened
together on the outside of the hands
with metal clasps.
Il +
A soft pad kept the bands from
chatting the wearer's fingers, but
there was nothing to soften the
blow the gloves delivered to the
opponent. Later, in the Roman
gladiatorial contests, loaded" gloves,
containing metal, were used. The
Roman loaded glove or cestus gave
a death blow to boxing as a sport.
There were two sorts of wrestling
in Greece. The more polite form
Tesembled a contest under modern
rules. In this sport the object was
to throw an antagonist to the
ground and make his shoulders
touch three times.
This form was used as a part of
the pentathlon five-part Olympic
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-07-28

contest and also as a separate con-
test. Rougher wrestling formed a
part of the amazing Olympic con-
test called the pancratium, which
happily has no counterpart in mod
ern games.
in the pancratium any sort of
fighting was permissible, and The
contest ended only with the
acknowledgment of defeat by one
Of the contestants. 1t was COM
bination of boxing and wrestling,
and the only limitation was that
biting and gouging were ruled out.
No gloves were worn. Frequently
contestants were strangled to teath.
1t was a free-for all fight, in which
every power Of the contestants was
exerted to the utmost.
