THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS* Malone, a young' London newspaper reporter, rejected by the girl lie loves on the ground that he has no heroic accomplishments to his credit, goes In search of adventure. An appeal to his editor MrArdle, for a particularly dangerous assignment, results in his bring sent, to Interview Professor Challenger, a scientist. who had recently returned from a solitary expedition to South America, with an amating story of advenourfi which no one believes. Angered. Challenger had since refused to talk, and assaulted any one who dared question him. Malone, professing to be a student of science, succeeds in obtaining an audience. Challenger, a huge man with an enormous head, a hetvy, biack beard and bellowing voice, givis him a none too cordial reception. There was a brutal directness about his methods which made evasion difficult. I must still make play and wait for a better opening. It lad seemed slmpie enough at a distance. Oh, my Irish wits, could they iot help me now. when 1 needed help .so sorely? He transfixed me with two harp, steely eyes. “Come, conte!” he rumbled. "I am, of course, a mere student,” said I, with a fatuous smile, “hardly more, I might say, than an earnest inquirer. At the same time, It seemed to me that you were a little severe upon Weissmann in this matter. Has not the general evidence since that date tended —well, to strengthen his position?” “What evidence?” He spoke wirh a nenadng calm. . “Well, of course. T am aware that here is not any what you might call definite evidence. I alluded merely to the trend of modern thought and the general scientific point of view, if I might, so express it.” He leaned forward with great eagerness. “I suppose you are aware.” said he, checking off points upon his Angers, “that the cranial index is a eonatant factor 7” “Naturally," said I. “And that telegony Is still sub iudice?” “Undoubtedly.” “And that the germ plasm is different from the parthenogentlc egg?” “Why, surely!” I cried, and gloried in my own audacity. “But what does that prove?” he asked, in a gentle, persuasive voice. “Ah, what Indeed?” I murmured. “What does it prove?” "Shall I tell you?” he cooed. “Pray do.” “It proves,” he roared, with a sudden blast of fury, “that you are the damnedest imposter in London—a vile, crawling, journalist, who has no more science than he has decency in his composition!” He had sprung to his feet with a mad range in his eyes. Even at that moment of tension I found time for amazement at the discovery that he was quite a short man, his head not higher than m yshoulder—a stunted Hercules whose tremendous vitality had all run to depth, breadth and brain. “Gibberish!” he cried, leaning forward, with his fingers on the table and his face projecting. “That’s what I have been talking to you, sir—scientific gibberish! Did you think vou cculd match cunning with me—you with your walnut of a brain? You think you are omnipotent, you infernal scribblers, don’t you? That praise can make a man and your

blame can break him? We must all bow to you, and try to get a favorable word, must we? This man utiall have a leg up, and this man shall have a dressing down! Creeping vermin, I know you! You’ve got out of your station. Time wan when your ears were clipped. You've lost your sense of proportion. Swollen gasbags! I’ll keep you in your proper place. Yes, sir, you haven’t got over G. E. C. There’s one man who is still your master. He warned you off but if you will come, by the Lord you do it at your own risk. Forfeit my good Mr. Malone, I claim forfeit! You have playod a rather dangerous game, and it strikes me that you have lost it.” “Look here, sir,” said 1, basking to the door and opening it.: “you can be as abusive as you like. But there is a limit. You snail not as sault me.” “Shall I not?” Ho was slowly advancing in a peculiarly menacing way, but he stopped now and put his big hads into the elde pockets of a rather boyish short Jacket which he wore. “I have thrown several of you out of the house. You will be the fourth or fifth. Three pound fifteen each—that is how it averaged. Expensive, but very necessary. Now, sir, why should you not follow your brethren? I rather think you must.” He resumed his unpleasantness and stealthy advance, pointing his toes as he wlaked, liked a dancing master. I could have bolted for the hall door but it would have been too ignominious. Besides, a little glow of righteous anger was springing up within me. I had been hopelessly in the wrong before, but this man’s menaces were putting me In the right. "I’ll trouble you to ke p your hands off, sir. I’ll not stand it.” “Dear me!” His black moustache lifted and a white fang twinkled in a sneer. “You wouldn’t stand it, eh?’ “Don’t be such a fool. Professor!” I cried. "What can you hope for? I’m fifteen stone, as hard as nails, and play center three-quarter every Saturday for the London Irish. I’m not the man— —” It was at that moment that he rushed me. It was lucky that I had opened the door, oi ifre should have gone through it. We did a Catharincwheel together down the passage. Somehow wo gathered up a chair upon our way, and bounded on with it towards the street. My mouth was full of his beard, our arms were locked, our bodies intertwined, ai.d that infernal chair radiated its legs all round us. The watchful Austin had thrown open the hall door. We went with a back somersault down the front steps. I have seen ihe two Macs attempt something of the kind at the halls, but it appears to take some practice to do it without hurting oneself. The chair went to matchwood at the bottom, and we rolled apart into the gutter. He sprang to his feet, waving his fists and wheezing like an asthmatic. “Had enough?" he panted. “You infernal bully!” I cried, as I gathered myself together. Then and there we should have tried the thing out. for he was effer-

Don’t be bashful, for all druggists Invite you and exnect you to try it. Everybody’s doing it.
