Elvira Snodgrass, Smoky Noun

Burke of Columbus, Ohio, recog-
nized as the worlds feminine wres-
ting champion, grapple tonight at
Turner's Arena.
Turner says he is offering Miss
Burke $500 to risk her crown.
Indications are that Turner will
referee the bout, since Billy Wolfe,
who manages Champion Burke, and
Elmer SnodgraSs, who manages and
seconds Elvira, have requested the
mat impressario to be the third
man in the ring Turner says if
he changes his mind, Casey Berger
will serve.
Miss Burke is unbeaten in more

Elvira has won two straight To-

to the road was barred, and even
the front half of the house was
walled of and sealed with an iron
gate. He strolled the terrace and
looked at Cartagena and the sea
and the strange and wonderful
plants in the garden. He had long
ago ceased to worry. The whole
thing was too far from reality to
worry about.
The next morning when he awoke,
half expecting to find himself in his
Lisbon hotel room, he saw the maid,
Mana, coming with his breakfast.
Then Carlita came in, dressed to-
day in chalk white, that made her
skin glow deeper than ever. He
wondered If he should confront her
with the small red mark he'd found
on his left arm; just the sort Of
mark a hypodermic needle might
make. He meant to ask her why
she found it necessary to dope him.
But he thought better of it and
decided to play dumb. "Carlita, I'd
like to see your father this morning
and arrange to get back to Lisbon" }"
Her eyes were blue-gray in this
light and very wide. Burgess, you
aren't going back to Lisbon, are
you?"
He was impatient with her. "Of
course. I can't stay here forever.
I appreciate being here and all that,
but, well, I have other things to
attend to-"
A Strange Offer.
"But, Burgess" She always called
him that, seeming to prefer it to the
harsher syllable of Matt. You have
no money or passport, or no 1den-
tification at all. Remember Thomp-
sen stole it,"
That was precisely what her ia
ther said that morning when Matt
stood before him in his little office.
1T will be very hard for you to go
anywhere or do anything In these
times" he remarked. squirting up at
the young man. Il am sorry for
you"
Matt knew that this was true
Unless he got in touch with his
father, it would be practically i'm
possible to do anything. But
must make an effort to regain them
by going back to Lisbon" he an
swered the old man. And he knew
the answers to that, too. He didn't
even have the fare back to Lisbor
and If the old man had some reason
for wanting Matt to stay there, he
certainly wouldn't lend 1t to him.

"Ah, good morning. Yankee. I'm
so glad you are awake. must tell
my father"
She wore long, simple blue cos
tune, draped over one shoulder and
gathered at the waist with a jew
eled girdle. Her hair hung long
and curled around her shoulders,
which Matt noticed were not white
but delicate, burnt-honey yellow
that glowed in the sunlight. She
was so perfect against the back
ground of a moorish style house
that she made Matt feel more than
ever that he was living some sort
of queer Arabian Nights dream.
Matt Forced to Laugh.
May I have a drink of water,
please?" Matt said quietly. She
poured it quickly and he said,
Now throw it in my face. 7 want
to wake up" She held 1t out un-
smilingly and he took it and drank
it.
Carlita went back to the terrace.
"Miana!" she called and when a
dark servant girl appeared she
said, Tell my father to come here
at his convenience. She spoke
Spanish and Matt couldn't UNDER
stand. She told him, MY father
will be here soon to talk to you.
He is very grateful for your gallant
rescue of me-"
Matt laughed. "Did I rescue you?
The last thing I remember was
lying in the bottom of a boat, and
even then you had charge of the
whole show. Let's not kid each
other"
You are very stubborn, Burgess.
I could not have escaped without
you. Now I am home again" Her
voice was gentle and humble and
her eyes belied every word she
said. She knew what she was do
ing and Matt wished he did.
We'll, do you mind telling me
where home is?" he queried.
She answered, Come over to
the terrace. See, over there is
Cartagena. This is my home"
He looked out over the city a
moment and then the name clicked
"Cartagena! But that's on the east
coast of Spain, isn't it? >. On the
Mediterranean"
Yes, you can see the sea over
there"
But how how could we be
all the way across Portugal and
Spain?
It's very simple, Burgess. and
I'll tell you if you don't get so ex-
cited That night when you fell
asleep"
Fell asleep? I was knocked
out! Let's be brutally frank"
Her gray eyes flicked up to his
face and down again. She went
