THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a yinrng London newtpaper reporter, rejected by the girl he loves on the grouud that he has no , heroic accomplishments to his credit, a decides to search for adventure. An A appeal to his editor. McArdle. for a ■ particularly dangerous assignment. B results in his being sent to interview ■ Professor Challenger, a scientist, who ■ had recently returned from a solitary pf expedition to South America, with an amazing story of adventure which had been skeptically received by his brother scientists. Challenger, angered, had since refused to talk, and would assault any one. particularly reporters, who asked questions. He had broken the skull of one reporter sent to interview him. CHAPTER ll—Continued I entered the club. It was Just after eleven, and the big room was fairly full, though the rush had not yet set In. I noticed a tall, tlrfn, angular man seated in an arm-chair by the fire. He turned as I drew my chair up to him. It was the man of all others whom I should have chosen—Tarp Henry, of the staff of Nature, a thin, dry, leathery creature who was full, to those who knew him, of kindly humanity. I plunged instantly Into my subject. “What do you know about Professor Challenger?” “Challenger?” He gathered his brows in scientific disapproval. “Challenger was the man who -came with a, cock-and-bull story from jSouth America.” ■V'What story?”' ■y“Qh, it was rank nonsense about *nme queer animals he had discovered. I believe he has retracted dnee. Anyhow, he has suppressed it all. He gave an interview to Reuter’s, and there was such a howl that he saw it wouldn’t do. It was a discreditable business. There were one or two folks who were inclined to take him seriously, but he soon choked them off.” “How?” “Well, by his insufferable rudeness and Impossible behavior. There was poor Wadley, of the Zoological Institute. Wadley sent a message: ’The President of the Zoological Institute presents his compliments to Professor Challenger, and would take it as a personal favor if he would do them the honor to come to their next meeting,’ The answer was unprintable.” “You don’t say?" “Well, a bowdlerized version of it would run: ‘Professor Challenger presents his compliments to the President of the Zoological Institute, and would take it as a personal favor if he would go to the devil.’ ” “Good Lord!” “Yes, I expect that’s what old Wadley said. I remember his wall at the meeting, which 'began ‘ln fifty years experience of scientific ntercourse ’ It quite broke the old man up.” “Anything more about Challenger?”

Don’t Fuss With Mustard Plasters! Bfnsterole Works Without the Blister—Easier, Quicker There's no sense In mixing a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a, little clean, white Alusterjle. Musterole is made of pure oil of musard and other helpful ingredients, ombined in the form of the present white otntmeht. It takes the place of mustard plasters, and will not blister.

I PIMPLES ON I FACEANDHEAD Itching and Burning Terrible. Cuticura Heals. ** My trouble started by little pimple* coming out on my face and the back of my bead. After a few weeks the pimples scaled over and the itching and burning were something terrible, causing me to scratch. I lost rest at night because of the irritation. “ I heard about Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a free sample. After using it a few times I got relief so purchased more, and after using about four cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was healed.” .

“Well, I’m a bacteriologist, you know. I live in a nine-hundred-diam-eter microscope. I can hardly claim to take serious notice of anything that I can see with my naked eye. I’m a frontiersman from the extreme edge of Knowable, and I feel quite out of place when I leave my study and come into touch wijh ail you great, rough, hulking creatures. I’m too detached to talk scandal and yet at scientific conversaziones I have heard something of Challenger, for he is one of those men whom nobody can ignore. He’s as clever as they make ’em —a full-charged battery of force and vitality, but a quarrelsome, ill-conditioned faddist and unscrupulous at that. He had gone the length of faking some photographs over the South American business. “You say he is a faddist. What is his particular fad?” “He has a thousand, but the latest is something about Weissmann and Evolution. He had a fearful row about it in Vienna, I believe.” “Can’t you tell me the point?” “Not at the moment, but a translation of the proceedings exists. We have it filed at the office. Would you care to come?” “It’s just what I want. I have to interview the fellow, and I need some lead up to him. It’s really awfully good of you to give me a lift. I'll go with you now, if it is not too late.” Hsdf an hour later I was seated in the newspaper office with a huge tome in front of me, which had been opened at the article "Weissmann
“HOW’S THAT?” I ASKED
versus Darwin,” with the sub-head-ing, “Spirited Protest at Vienna. Lively Proceedings.” My scientific education having been somewhat neglected, I was unable to follow the whole argument, but it was evident that the English professor had handled his subject in a very aggressive fashion, and had thoroughly annoyed his Continental colleagues. “Protests,” "Uproar,” and “General Appeal to the Chairman” were three of the first brackets which caught my eye. Most of the matter might have been written In Chinese for any definite meaning that it conveyed to my brain. “I wish you could translate it into English for me,” I said, pathetically, to my help-mate. "Well, It Is a translation.” "Then I’d better try my luck with the original.” "It Is certainly rather deep for a layman.” “If l could only get a single good, meaty sentence which seemed to convey some sort of definite human idea, It would serve my turn. Ah, yes, this one will do. I seem In a vague way almost to understand It. I’ll copy it out. This shall be my link with the terrible professor. "Nothing else I can do?” "Well, yes; I propose to write to him. If I could frame the letter here, and use your address it would give atmosphere.” “We’ll have the fellow round her making a row and breaking the fumitur.” "No, no; you’ll see the letternothing contentious, I assure you.” "Well, that’s my chair and desk. You’ll find paper there. I’d like to censor It before It goes.” It took some doing, but I flatter myself that it wasn’t such a bad Job when it was finished. I read it aloud to the critical bacterologist with some pride in my handiwork. - 'iiiik -a “Dear Professor Challenger,” it said. “Asa humble student of Nature I have always taken the most profound interest in your speculations to the differences between Darwin and Weissmann. I have recently had occasion to refresh my memory by re-reading ” "You infernal Harr’ murmured Tarp Henry. “by rereading your masterly address at Vienna. That lucid and admirable statement seems to be the last word in the matter. There is one sentence in it, however—namely; ‘I protest strongly against the insufferable and entirely dogmatic assertion that each separate id Is a microcosm possessed of an historical architecture elaborated slowly through the series of generations.’ Have you no desire, In view of later research, to modify this statement? Dq you not think that it is over* accentuated? With your permission, I would ask the favor of an Interview, as I feel strongly upon the subject, and have certain suggestions which I could only elaborate in a personal conversation. With your consent, T trust to have the honor of calling at eleven o’clock the dRy after tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. “I remain. Sir, with assurances of profound respect, your very truly, EDWARD D. MALONE.” "How’s that?” I asked, triumph-

"But what do you mean to do?” “To get there. Once L am in his room I may see some opening. I may even go the length of open confession. If he is a sportsman he will be tickled.” “Tickled, Indeed! He’s much more likely to do the tickling. Chain mail, or an American football suit—that’s what you’ll want. Well, good-bye. I’ll have the answer for you here on Wednesday morning l —if he ever deigns to answer you. He is a violent, dangerous, cantakerous character, hated by everyone who comes across him and the butt of the students, so far as they dare take a liberty with him. Perhaps it would be best for you if you never heard from the fellow at all.” Copyright, 1912, by A. Conan Doyle.
