THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Malone, a younff London newspaper reporter, rejected by the eirl n'e lores on the ground that he naa no heroic accomplishments to his credit, goes in search of adventure. An appeal to his editor. McArdle. for a particularly dangerous assignment* results in his being seut to interview Professor Challenger, a scientist who has recently returned from a solitary expedition to South \meriea. with an amazing story of adventure which uo one believes. Angered, Challenger has s aco refused to talk, and assauled ai y one who dared to question him. By a ruse Malone obtains an audience with him but is unceremoniously ejected when Challenger discovers he is a reporter. Together the two. do a piawheet down the front steps.' CHAPTER lll—Continued “What's all this? You ought to bo ashamed,’’ said the policeman. It was the most rational remark which l had heard In Enmore Park. “Well," he insisted, turning to me, “what is It, then?” "This man attacked me;” said I. “Did.you attack him?” asked the policeman. The professor breathed hard and said nothing. "It’s not the first time, either,” said the policeman, severly, shaking his head. -“You were in trouble last month for the same thing. Yop’ve blackened this young man’s eye. Do you give him in charge, air?” I relented. "No,” said I, “I do not.” "What’s that?” said the policeman. “I was to blame myself, i jn'ruded upon him. Ho gave me fair warning.” The policeman snapped up his notebook. , “Don't let us have any more such going-ons,” said he. “Now, then! Move on, there, move on!" This to a butcher’s boy, a maid, and one or two loafers Who had collected. ±Te clumped heavily down the street, driving this little flock before him. The professor looked at mer and there was something humorous at the back of his eyes. “Come In!” said he. *Tve not done with you yet." The speech had a sinister sound, but I followed him none the less Into the house. The man servant, kustln, like a wooden image, closed the door behind us. CHAPTER TV "It’s Just the Very Biggest Thing in the World.” OARDLY was >it shut when Mrs. Challenger darted out from the. dining room. The small woman was In a furious temper. She barred her husband’s way like an enraged chicken in front of a bufldog. It was evident that she had seen ny exit, but had not observed my return. "You brute, George!" she streamed. “You’ve hurt that nice you lg man."

MR. J. PERRY Why Be Offensive With Bad Breath? Mr. J: Perry of 792 DeKalb Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “l awakened each morning with ao unpleasant taste and was often rer mit ded by ay wife that my breath was disagreeable. i “I tried perfumed tablets, mouth washes and other camouflages which gave only temporary relief. “After consulting my dentist and (fading my teeth in good condition, I confided m a friend, who suggested that possibly my trouble was constipation—faulty intestinal elimination* After taking a few doses of Carter's Little Liver Pills, my stomach and bowels were relieved, foul and impure gases eliminated. “I now enjoy a wholesome breath as well a* improved health.

He jerked backwards with his thumb. "Here his is, safe and sound behind me." She was confused, but not unduly so. “I am so sorry, I didn't see you.” "I assure you, madam, that it Is all right.” “He has marked your poor face! Oh, George, what a brute you are! Nothing but scandals from one end of the week to the other. Everyone hating and making fun of you. You’ve finished my Oatience. This ends It.” “Dirty linen,” he rambled. “YOU BRUTE, GEORGE! LET ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" “It’s not a secret," she cried. “Do you suppose that the whole street —the whole of London, for that matter— Get away, Austin, we don’t want you here. Do you suppose they don’t all talk about you? Where is your dignity? You. a man who should have been Reglous Professor at, a great university with a thousand students all revering you. Where is your dignity, Geprge?” "How about yours, my dear?" “You try me too much* A ruffian—a common, brawling ruffian—that’s what you have become." “Be good, Jessie.” “A roaring, raging bully!” "That’s done It! Stool of penance!” said he. To my amazement he stooped picked her up, and placed her sit ting upon a high pedestal of black marble In the angle of the hall. It was at least seven feet high and so thin that she could hardly balance upon it. A more absui-d object that she presented cocked up there with her face convulsed with anger, her feet dangling, and her body rigid for fear of an upset, I could not imagine. “Let me down!” she walled. ' "Say ‘please.’ ” “You brute, George! Let me down this instant!” *<Come Into the study, Mr. Malone.” "Really, sir—!" said I, looking at the lady. “Here’s Mr. Malone pleading for you, Jessie. Say ‘please,’ and down you come.” “Oh, you brute! Please! please!” He took her down as If she had been a canary. "You must behave yourself, dear. Mr. Malone is a pressman. He will have it all in his rag tomorrow, and sell an extra dozen among our neighbors. ‘Strange story of high life’—you felt fairly high on that pedestal, did you not? Then a subtitle, ‘Glimpse of a singular menage.’ He's a foul feeder, is Mr. Malone, a carrion eater, like all of his kind—percus ex grege dlaboli—a swine from the devil’s herd. That’s it, Malone—what?” “You are really Intolerable!’’ said I, hotly. He bellowed with laughter. “We shall have a coalition presently,” he boomed, looking from bis wife to me and puffing out his enormous chest. Then, suddenly altering his tone, “Excuse this frivolous family badinage, Yfr. Malone. I called you back for some more serious purpose than to mix you up with our little domestic pleasantries. Run away, little woman, and don’t fret." He placed a huge hand upon each of her shoulders. “All that you say Is perfectly true. I should not be a better man If I did what you advise, but I shouldn’t be quite George Edward Challenged There are plenty of better men, my dear, b n t ,only one G. E. C. So make the best of him.” He suddenly gave her a resounding kiss, which embarrassed me even more than his violence had done. "Now, Mr. Malone,” he continued, with a great accession of dignity, “this way, if you please.” We re-entered the room which we had left so tumultuously ten minutes before. The Professor closed thd door carefully behind us, motioned me into an arm-chair, and pushed a cigar box under my nose. "Real San Juan Golorado,” he said. "Excitable people like you are better for narcotics. Heavfens! don’t bite it! Cut—and cut with reverence! Now lean back and'listen attentively to whatever I may care to say to you. If any remark should occur to you, you. can reserve it for some more opportune time. “First of all, as to your return to my house after your most justifiable expulsion"—he protruded his beard, and stared at me as one who challenges ard invites contradiction —“after, as I say, your well-merited expulsion. The reason lay In your answer to that most officious ■policeman, in which I seemed to discern some glimmering of good feeling upon yc'lr part—more, at any rate, the.” am accustomed to associate with your profession. In admitting that the fault of the incident lay with you, you gave some evidence of a certain mental detachment and breadth of view which attracted my favorable notice. The sub-species of the human race to which you unfortunately belong has always been below my mental horizon. Your words brought you suddenly above it. You swam up Into my serious notice. For

this reason I asked you to return with me, as I was minded to make further acquaintance. You will kindly deposit your ash In the small Japanese *ray on the bamboo table which stands at your left elbow." All this he boomed forth like a professor addressing his class. He had swung round his revolving chair so as to face me and he sat all puffed out like an enormous bullfrog, his head laid back and his eyes half-covered by supercilious lids. Now he suddenly turned himself sideways and all I could see of him was tangled hair with a red, protudlng ear. He was scratching about among the little of papers upon his desk. He faced me presently with what looked like a very tattered sketch-book in his hand. Copyright. IAI2, by A. Oonan Doyle. (Continued in- Next Issue)
