THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the tcir! he loves beca\)HO he has no treat deeds to. his credit, appeals to Ills editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview the irascible Professor Challenger, a scientist, who has recently returned from an expedition to South America with an amazing story, which no one believes, of ‘the existence there on a great plateau of many 'forms of prehistoric life, By w*y of proof he shows Malone two sketches —one, of the cliffs beneath, the plateau, the other of a monstrous animal resembling the stegosaurus—which had been among the possessions of an explorer. Maple white, whom he had found dead from starvation: some blurred photographs of what appeared to be the same cliffs: and a piece of the wing of a huge flying serpent, or pterodactyl, which he had shot down. Malone is convinced of Challenger's sincerity. He accepts the professor’s invitation to attend a scientific lecture that evening by a Mr. Waldron. CHAPTER V (Continued) My day was a busy one, erd I had anearly dinner at the Savage Club with Tarp Henry, to whom I gave some account of my adventures. He listened with a sceptical smile on his gaunt face, and roared i with laughter on hearing that the Professor had convinced me. “My dear chap, things don’t happen like that In real life. People don't stumble upon enormous discoveries and then lose their evidence. Leave that tq the novelists. The fellow is full of tricks as the monkey house at the Zoo. It’s all bosh.” “But the American poet?” ' “He never existed.” “I saw his sketch book.” "Challenger's sketch book.” “You think he drew that animal?” “Os course he did. Who else?” “Well, then, the photograph.” “There was nothing In the photographs. By your own admission you only saw a bird.” “A pterodactyl.” “That’s what he says. He put the pterodactyl into your head.” “Well, then, the bones?” “First one out of an Irish stew. Second one camped up for the occasion. If you are clever and know your business you can fake a bone as easily as you can a photograph.” I began to feel uneasy. Perhaps, after all, I had been premature in my acquiescence. Then I had a sudden happy thought. “Will you come to the meeting?” I asked. Tarp Henry looked thoughtful. “He is not a popular persop, the genial Challei)ger,” said he. "A lot of people have accounts to settle with him. I should say he is the heat-hated man In London. If the medical students turn out there will

be no end of a rag. I don’t want to get into a bear-garden.” “You might at least do him the Justice to hear him state his own case.” Nfc. “Well, perhaps It's only fair. All right. I’m your man for the evening.” When we arrived at the hall we found a much greater concourse than I had expected. A line of electric broughams discharged the . little cargoes of white-bearded piofessors, while the dark stream of humbler pedestrians, who crowded through the arched doorway, showed that the audience would be popular as well as scientific. Indeed, it became evident to us as soon as we had taken our seats that a youthful and even boyish spirit was abroad in the gallery and the back portions of the hf.ll. Looking behind me, I could see rows of faces of the familiar medical student type. Apparently the great hospitals had each sent down their contingent. The behavior of the .audience at present was good-humored, but mischievous. Scraps of popular ‘songs were chorused with an enthusiasm which was a strange prelude to a scientific lecture, and there was already a tendency to personal chaff which promised a jovial evening to others however embarrassing it might be to the recipient of these dubious honors.
Thus, when old Doctor Meldrum, with his well-known curly-brimmed opera-hat, appeared upon the' platform, there was such a universal query of "Where did you get that tile?” that he hurriedly removed it, and concealed it furtively under his chair. When gouty Professor Wadley limped down to his seat there were general affectionate inquiries from all parts of 1 .. hall as to the exact state of his ,-oor toe, which caused him obvious embarrassment. The greatest demonstration of all, however, was the entrance of my new acquaintance. Professor Challenger, when he passed down to take his place at the extreme end of the front row of the platform. Such a yell of welcome broke forth when his black beard first protruded round the corner that I began to suspect Tarp Henry was right in his surmise, and that this assemblage was ■there not merely for the sake of the lecture, but because it had got rumored abroad that the famous Prqfessor would take part in the proceedings. There was some sympathetic laughter on his entrance among the front benches of well-dressed spectators, is though the demonstration of tie students in this Instance was ne t unwelcome to them. That greeting was, indeed, a frightful outburst of sour.d, the uproar of the carnivora cage when the step of the buelrtt-bearing keeper is heard in the distance. There was an offensive tone in it, perhaps, and yet in the main it struck me as mere riotous outcry, tie noisy reception of one who amused and interested them, rather than of one they disliked or despised. Challenger smiled with weary ard tolerant contempt, as a kindly man would meet the yapping of a litter puppies. He sat slowly down, blew out his chest, passed his hand caressingly down his beard, and looked with drooping eyelids and supercilious eyes at the crowded hall before him. The uproar of his advent had not yet died away when Professor Ronald Murray, the chairman, and Mr. Waldron, the lecturer, threaded their w’ay to the front and the proceedings began.
Professor Murray will, i am sure, excuse me If I say that he has the common fault of most Englishmen of being Inaudible Why on earth people who have something to say which is worth hearing should not take the slight trouble to learn how to make It heard is one of the strange mysteries of modern life. Their methods are as i-easonable as to try to pour some precious stuff from the spring to the reservoir through a non-conducting pipe which could by the least effort be opened. Professor Murray made several profound remarks to hi* white tie and to the water-cai ife UDon the table, with a humorous twinkling aside to the silver candlestick upon his right. Then he sat down, and Mr. Waldron, the famous popular lecturer, rose amid a general murmur of apolause. He was a stern, gaunt man, with a harsh voice and an aggressive manner, but he had the merit of knowing how to assimilate the ideas’ of other men, and to pass them on in a way which was intelligible and even Interesting to jjre lay publL with a happy knack of being funny about the most unlikely objects, so that the precession of the Equinox or the formation of a vertebrate became a hlgh}y humorous process as treated by him, (To be Continued)
